I can connect with the the web ftp but when i try to connect with smart ftp it says connection created then the server resets the connection. The web user has admin rights and ftp is set up for the site.
To check if proftp is running please check the output of: netstat -tap If Proftp is running indeed, please do not use your FTP-client in "Passive mode". When your FTP-connection is rather slow, you can considder to add: UseReverseDNS off IdentLookups off to your /etc/proftpd.conf file.
This is the output of nestat -tap tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 29852/proftpd: (acc This all i have in my proftp.conf file. I put what you suggested but i still isn't working shouldn't there be more in my proftp.conf file. DefaultRoot ~ IdentLookups off ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready" UseReverseDNS off IdentLookups off Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf
This is strange indeed and not enough. There is an original config file for proftpd available. I suggest to use it now, so do the following: cp /etc/proftpd.conf file /etc/proftpd-old.conf cp /proftpd.conf.orig /etc/proftpd.conf Restart proftp with: /etc/init.d/proftpd start or /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
