I have lost my ability to connect via FTP to my server, even when trying to connect to its local network ip address. I receive the error: "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". To make things worse, I have forgotten what I was doing that got myself into this mess -- but, I believe I was trying to get SSL to work on the admin page. I thought it was a firewall issue so I unchecked active from the firewall record in ISPConfig, saved that and tried again to no avail. Then I followed Till's advice from https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/problem-with-ftp.71886/ and verified my external was in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ForcePassiveIP and set the open ports to 20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,3306,8080,10000,40110:40210 and then later to 20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,587,993,995,3306,8080,8081,10000,40110:40210 to no avail. I've scoured the forms, and have found plenty of similar error messages, but no reply that has offered a fix yet. I'm running out of ideas on what to do here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Are you using virtual lans? There is someting wrong in your network setup. If you have a backup of /etc/network/interfaces from before this breakage, restore it or compare to the file that you have now. Or has the network changed? Find out what networks or virtual lans you should be using, and adapt /etc/network/interfaces accordingly. Check also what network interfaces you do have, if eht0 has gone missing. Code: ip a Also, please use CODE tags when pasting file listings or logs. They stay readable that way.
No, I shouldn't be using virtual lans. I'm leasing a block of static IPs, and when I originally setup ISPConfig I was trying to route each IP to it's own domain. ip a outputs: Code: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether fc:aa:14:90:eb:eb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.229/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic enp2s0 valid_lft 84126sec preferred_lft 84126sec inet6 fe80::feaa:14ff:fe90:ebeb/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eno1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether fc:aa:14:90:eb:e9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff And my /etc/network/interfaces looks like: Code: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

Thank you Taleman for your time and trying to help, and I apologize about the code blocks before.
Your network interface is enp2s0, not eth0. Replace eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces with enp2s0. That should be a giant leap in the right direction. Although enp2s0 is already configured with inet 192.168.1.229/24. That is a bit odd, where does this configuration come from since there is nothing in /etc/network/interfaces about that. Does it come from DHCP? So you should not use static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces, use dhcp. Anyway, doing Code: ifup enps2s0 should get you a working network interface.
ifup enp2s0 brought up: Code: RTNETLINK answers: File exists ifup: failed to bring up enp2s0 I made a few changes to the /etc/network/interfaces and it still brings that up.

systemctl status NetworkManager.service shows host gets network configuration from DHCP. Use those settings. Do not use static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. Or if the settings from DHCP are wrong, find out why your host gets config from DHCP. There must be some other setup in addition to /etc/network/interfaces.
Thanks Taleman. No more failed networking.service after wiping out the /etc/network/interfaces and replacing it with Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto enp2s0 allow-hotplug enp2s0 iface enp2s0 inet dhcp Now the only failed service showing is postfix, which is ok because I do not use, and have no plans of using this server for email. However, my FTP woes still persist: Code: Status: Disconnected from server Status: Connecting to 99.99.99.134:21... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS. Command: USER some_user Response: 331 User some_user OK. Password required Command: PASS ************ Response: 530 Login authentication failed Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server I'm certain the login credentials are correct. I've tried both passive and non-passive. IP address above is made up of course. ISPConfig admin panel was showing FTP service as working earlier today, but cannot see admin panel currently (as I am at work) to confirm.
Are you sure you are connecting to the right host? The IP-addresses have changed. You should start making notes when you do configuration changes and maintenance on your host, so you have some idea what has changed when problems appear. Try using Internet Search Engines with: Code: Could not connect to server ftp site:howtoforge.com
Thank you Taleman for all your help. I used your suggestion, and found https://www.howtoforge.com/communit...ction-to-port-xxxxx-connection-refused.79236/ and discovered my router was blocking the passive ports and i had an ssl error. https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/pureftp-ftps.43509/
