• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

FTP Not Working

Hello, I was backing up some site files a couple weeks ago and after I was done I shut Plesk down and didnt go on for a couple of days. The next time I went on, my ftp program would not connect and now I cant get it to connect.

Not sure what is wrong, I am actually shutting the server down and taking it offline because I am closing my company.

Im not that great with Linux and I really dont feel like paying anymore money to have someone look at it to get the files off I need.

I know a few commands in Linux but if someone could tell me how to check if my ftp is running or what ever it does so I can get the files off before I shut it down I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Sory didnt work. I can see the file there but it tells me that is no such file or directory but if I ls it I can see it
 
Which file are you referring to just so I'm on the same page. Can you telnet to port 21 from the server itself?

$ telnet localhost 21
 
Well I use Putty to SSH into the server and then I login and then su to the root and then I change to the directory and then do an ls command and the xinetd file or directory is there but I dont know how to tell if it is runnng already or understand why if it is not I cant start it.

Hey thanks for the help by the way. I really appreciate it.
 
HI,

Try this:

/etc/init.d/xinetd reastart

the following command should give you this answer :

[root@server ~]# netstat -tnalp | grep 21
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3265/xinetd
 
Okay I used that command and I got this;

Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]

but my ftp still isnt working so im not sure what is wrong :-(
