    Hello Goodnight.

    I have installed pureftp-mysql from this tutorial
    Https://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-...-and-bandwidth-management-on-ubuntu-15.04-lts

    The installation is correct since I do a "service pure-ftpd-mysql status" and get active

    ● pure-ftpd-mysql.service
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
    Active: active (running) since lun 2017-06-12 23:29:33 CEST; 2s ago

    jun 12 23:29:33 vpsxxxxxx systemd[1]: Started pure-ftpd-mysql.service.


    If I try to connect from the terminal to ftp everything is correct, the problem I have when I try to connect from filezilla that all the time I receive the message "can not connect to the server"

    In host I have put my domain, even tried with the IP of the server vps, in user and password, I have put those that e created in the database.

    Could someone help me find where I am failing?

    Thank you very much greetings

    What errors do you get in filezilla? Can you copy/paste the console log from filezilla?
    Also a cat /var/log/syslog | grep pure
    Could help us out.

    Check that you don't block the ports in your firewall. The tutorial link does not work so cant see how you installed it. If you force passive you'll have the port range in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange. There you have 2 numbers for the ports range. So in your ISPConfig firewall you have to add this 2 ports as "55010:55110" that's how you declare a range of ports.

    I put the link I followed since the other did not work.

    Cat / var / log / syslog | Grep pure

    I have the following:

    In filezilla this other, I think neither connects.

    This / etc / pure-ftpd / conf / PassivePortRange file on my server does not exist, only these are:

    Let's see if I can help you more in finding out what is happening. If you lack more information I will be happy to facilitate it.

    Thanks you very much partners

    You need to create this file if you force passive. There're a few config files that you need to create for some options.
    It look's like it's a firewall or router problem.
    The 21 / tcp open ftp is only for connection for file transfer you need other ports. I had similar problem and I had the 21 port opend but not the other for file transfer and I couldn't connect with filezilla.

    Try disabling firewall and open ports on router and test it. Normally this tutorials work out of the box.

    Hello again, I looked at the router and I have the firewall disabled. In case it was some port and activated the dmz on the Ip that is the filezilla. And still not connected.
    E looked at the ovh control panel which is where I have contracted the vps, and in firewall rules there is no written rule.
    I have other ftp connections from filezilla and they work correctly

    Try from you VPS host to do a ftp connection to itself. See if you can login then?

    Hi, how can I do that? An ftp connection itself.
    From the ubuntu console connected to the server if I can access the ftp without problems, you mean that?
    thanks,

    Finally choose to reset the server and reinstall everything from the beginning.
    And is already working.
    It seems that the problem is when I install the iredmail mail server.
    Because it was tested before installing it and everything worked, and once installed iredmail stopped working.
    To install iredmail use this link
    https://raiolanetworks.es/blog/como-montar-un-servidor-de-correo-con-iredmail/
    I do not see where the conflict is.
    Regards.

    Do you still have an issue or not?

    Hi, if I still have the problem.

    Apparently if I do a clean installation without installing Iredmail it works everything correctly, but to which I install iredmail, pure-ftpd stops working, so I imagine the problem comes with some conflict with iredmail, which I do not know can be. Follow the link tutorial from my previous message.

    Thank you
