i installed proftpd and made 2 virtual servers, when i try to connect in flashfxp, it give the following: [L] Connecting to ****.com -> DNS=ftp.****.com IP=66.**.*.** PORT=21 [L] Connected to ****.com [L] Connection failed (Connection lost) Code (markup): any idea why is that happening? the ftp server is up and running, and when i tried to ping ftp.****.com it pinged successfully.
Can you SSH to the Virtual Servers and then do a "ftp localhost"? Check your log file (perhaps in /var/log/proftpd.log) to find the cause of the error. Cryo.
%ftp localhost Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. Code (markup):
Read the conf file and configure the daemon correctly, it says something there about this issue you have. I can't give you any accurate help because I'm at work (FreeBSD is a hobby of mine in my spare time) Also, see http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-ConfigFile.html It could be that you try to start the daemon as root or user/group is not properly defined or the root ftp folder has execute rights. Also, it may not hurt if you try Pure FTPD. It's very good, it has some very nice features (virtual users is one that I like a lot). I had it for a long time but decided to use proftpd and vsftpd because it had a bug at that time that caused crc errors while uploading on my configuration.
