ftp server problem

Guest
new to plesk, im having problems accessing my server via ftp, I look everywhere on my plesk control panel and dont see any ftp server installed. I want to access the ftp to upload my web.

also I try to retrieve my license keys and always get the same error that the registration server is not found.
 
i manage to connect via ftp, now the only problem its registering the keys
 
well my problem of the ftp was that I was using a standard ftp setup, to resolve in my case i do this;

1.change the port of the ftp to 22 instead of 21
2. setup to use the sftp using ssh on the ftp program...

problem solve...
 
You realize that by switching your FTP to port 22, you've just closed off your SSH port, right?
 
Not quite sure why you would disable the SSH port to enable the FTP daemon. Make sure the built in FTP server is disabled on your machine, which is usually wrapped through INETD or XINETD. I believe all installs of PSA install proftpd and what might be happening is that your built in FTP daemon is running at boot and conflicting with the PSA Proftpd install. You've just complicated things even more by using a reserved TCP port thats used by SSHD. FTP uses 2 ports, TCP 20 and 21.

Thx
James
