FTP- ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server, after auto-updates

[Pedro1]

Hi,
after Plesk auto-updates I cannot connect to all my sites in ftp with Filezilla.

The FTP error mesagge I see in Filezilla is:
#Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".

I have to restart the Apache and Nginx services from Plesk Panell.
And then, restar Xinetd service via SSH terminal with command:
#service xinetd restart

Regars

I think this problem is addressed in the following KB - http://kb.odin.com/en/124779

Hello:

It didn't work
After the first step

# openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:21 -starttls ftp

I have this error

connect: Connection refused
connect:errno=111

So, I executed

service xinetd restart

and after, the first step again
# openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:21 -starttls ftp

And followed to the second step

lftp
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-force true
lftp :~> connect ftp.example.com
lftp ftp.example.com:~> login <username>

500 LFTP not understood

In other point I have a trusted certificate for my domain. I don't know why it shows that it's not trusted :/

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

@Pedro,

Please retry with Filezilla and provide the output for the connection or connection attempts.

This output is probably very helpfull in determining the actual cause of the issue encountered.

Kind regards....
