FTP service not available

[Jerry Salvador]

To all,

Need your help. I'm using Plesk 8.0 for linux. All the time, all services were working but
last Mar.2,2009 I encountered this error everytime ftp session was requested.

# ftp <server name>
Connected to *******.
- unknown option: a
Name (server name:jerry):

Everytime I entered my username it shows.

Name (server name:jerry): jerry
usage: proftpd [options]
Login failed.

ftp> bye
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

Already restarted inetd, as well as psa and the entire server.


What else do I need to check.

Please advise.

Thank you very much.

Me Too!

Worked great until I updated to 1.3.2-2, now nobody gets in with ftp.

if inetd not working try to use the proftp

edit /etc/proftpd.conf

change Servetype from inetd to Standalone

kill first the current ftp process

linux:# lsof -i tcp:21
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
inetd 25261 root 0u IPv4 452954 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)

linux:# kill 25261

then run the proftp

linux:# /usr/sbin/proftpd

it should work...
