    Hi

    I use "Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)) ISPConfig 3.1.15p3"
    but I have a problem in ftp connect, here is the complete log from FileZilla:

    Error:            Could not read from socket: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted

    I get the same error in active and passive FTP. I can connect the server only when I use (plain FTP) encryption.

    any help please?

    Code:
    https://www.faqforge.com/linux/controlpanels/ispconfig3/how-to-set-the-passiveportrange-in-pure-ftpd-on-denian-and-ubuntu-linux/
    I tried to do the steps in this tutorial:
    but I don't know the external IP, Or how can I get it.

    the external ip is the public ip of the server/domain name you're trying to connect to. or a firewall/load-balancer in front of that server.
    ping or nslookup of the fqdn should give you the public ip address.

    Please try to use a different FTP client, might be that you just ran into an incompatibility between latest FileZilla version and the pure-ftpd version that ships with Ubuntu 18.04.

    thank you for your reply

    I used FileZilla before with the same server and it worked fine (the control panel was VestaCP), but when I switched to Ispconfig 3 as a control panel I get this problem

    As mentioned above, your issue is most likely not related to ISPConfig, its an issue between a specific FileZilla version in conjunction with a specific pure-ftpd version. So if you want to find a solution for your issue, then please do what I suggested.

    problem is solved. Thank you Mr. Till
    I use "Transmit" and it works fine.
    Any suggestions about the best FTP client for macOS ?

    As mentioned above, the issue is caused by specific FileZilla versions in conjunction with some older pure-ftpd versions. use a different FTP client like the original poster did, he switched from FileZilla to Transmit FTP client. But you can use any other FTP client as well like winSCP in FTP mode or FireFTP or others.

    when i try to connect with winscp, i am getting below error.
    Code:
    Server sent passive reply with unroutable address <internal ip>, using host address instead.
    Timeout detected. (data connection)
    Could not retrieve directory listing
    Error listing directory '/'.

    If you have problems with Filezilla and your OS is Ubuntu18:
    Code:
    apt update && apt upgrade
    echo 'deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal universe' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pureftpd.list
    apt update
    cd /tmp
    apt source pure-ftpd
    cd pure-ftpd-1.0.49/
    apt build-dep ./
    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
    rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pureftpd.list
    apt -y remove pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd-mysql
    cd /tmp
    dpkg -i pure-ftpd-common_1.0.49-4_all.deb pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.49-4_amd64.deb
    service pure-ftpd-mysql restart
