Hi,

We are facing a weird problem in our server, it started once we lost FTP access to the server, and after checking, we found that proftpd is deleted, and doesn't exist, we tried, running plesk repair --ftp but nothing was found, after installing it and reconfigured/etc/proftpd.conf FTP back online, then on the second day the same issue happened, after we check /var/log/apt/history.log, I got the know that plesk update is deleting it

It seems that you have your own Proftpd version and Plesk replaces it. Does that make sense?

 

[AboodHamwi]

honestly, i don't know, since the issue started Proftpd was missing and I installed it with

sudo apt-get install proftpd -y

, I tried to repair it with Plesk repair but it's not working, any ideas how I can install the plesk version?

Run sudo apt-get remove proftpd to remove the Proftpd version you installed yourself. Then install Proftpd as a Plesk component using the steps mentioned in this article: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213901805--How-to-install-uninstall-Plesk-components-

I did like this but still shows installed in the Plesk Update page, and in case I tried to reinstall it, it's going to reinstall almost all other tools.
