I have a user reports cant connect to deb12 server because there are already 10 users? I looked in /etc/pure-ftpd and the conf file says 50 max simultaneous users? not sure where 10 comes from! where do I look?
Is the user connecting with FTP or SSH? Look in the log files at the time user tries to access the server, you should see what happens.
Pure-ftpd on Debian and Ubuntu uses files in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ for settings and not the pure-ftpd.conf file.
To set the global maximum number of FTP connections: Create or Edit the MaxClients Configuration File sudo nano /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/MaxClients Add the Desired Limit For example, to set the maximum global connections to 100: 100 Save and Exit
