proftpd upload fails, limits seem okay?

    We haven't tried uploading large files since we redeployed onto a ISPConfig server from a Plesk server, but there seems to be issues when uploading files suddenly (those of any size specifically)... We're using CentOS 4.4 and the latest Proftpd (Pureftpd stopped letting us connect, it would just time out so we switched to Proftpd)...

    Any advice would on solving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Here's logs and information:

    Website Information:
    Storage space: 10000 MB
    used: 1.10G

    /ssl 4.0K
    /user 1.4M
    /phptmp 4.0K
    /web 1.1G
    /cgi-bin 4.0K


    The only log file with data for Proftpd is /var/log/messages:

    FlashFXP status output is the following:

    The connection is lost and it FAILS after FlashFXP reaches 100%. I noticed that there's no file in the directory when viewing it in SSH while the file is supposed to be uploading.

    Proftpd is setup with its standard stand-alone configuration file with allowance of FXPing for sever-to-server data transfers...

    Please check with:

    repquota -avug

    that the user that you use to upload the file and the group have enough free space.

    Please try to set the quota of the website to a higher limit and then set the quota of the administrator user of the website to the same limit.

    If this wont help, please post the output of:

    ls -la /var/www/web5/web/skype-debug

    I tried the upload after those modifications and it still didn't work. In fact, I tried uploading to several other domains as well as direct server users (not website accounts) and the same thing is happening consistently.

    dingle@its:/home# ls -la /var/www/web5/web/skype-debug
    total 173500
    drwxr-xr-x 2 web5_postmaster dingle 4096 Aug 31 12:33 .

    I would note that it is currently retrying to upload, that's wht the trace.txt file is showing right now. However, at 100% that file will disappear and thus no longer be available after completion.

    What happens when you do a transfer locally?
    I.e. from the server to the server via ftp:
    Code:
    # ftp
    ftp> open localhost
    Connected to localhost.localdomain.

    Yeah I just thought of that a bit ago before reading this... I tried fxping from site to site and it worked okay. This is quite odd. I can upload to other servers and other networks without a problem from my LAN though... Weird.

    Have you tried active and passive FTP mode?

    Trying that now; thanks a lot for the help guys... It seems others are now able to upload (after the box rebooted at least) while I still can't. It's probably something weird on my end and I'll have to figure it out as I don't want you all having to try and troubleshoot a network and Windoze... Thanks a lot.
