ISP Config web-ftp

Hello all,

I was in the process of uploading my site using > Web-FTP/Password Protection of Directories (.htaccess/.htpasswd). When I went to do that it said "Could not connect to localhost". I know there is a problem in one of the config files.

Thanks for your assistance.

thanks falko. corrected.

 

You only posted a part of your proftpd.conf. Please post the whole file.

 

Fixed above.

 

It must be

Code:

ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."

instead of

Code:

ServerIdent on"FTP Server ready."

in /etc/proftpd.conf. Fix it and restart ProFTPd.

 

many thanks falko that was my error in configuration.
