@trialotto No apology required. You are a great help. I thought the link may be useful for the next beginner like me. Sorry. I meant to ask 'Have I done everything to reduce FTP related risks now?' I'm sure the answer is NO! I just hope I have at least corrected my mistake.

OK Will do

I've blocked the IP 185.22.173.*** in my firewall.

OK I think I did it. I can now connect with a passive connection. I added a new custom rule to the Plesk Firewall. -- Allow incoming from all on port 50000-50500/tcp -- And then I created a new passiveports.conf in /etc/proftpd.d/ with this settings: PassivePorts 50000-50500 This thread...

Thanks. Looks like I am using POSTFIX I'm not sure if this is the best place to troubleshoot my mail logs so please tell me if not. I see these lines every 12 seconds or so: Where <DOMAIN> replaces a domain hosted on the VPS. There is no mail account set up for test@<DOMAIN>. There is no MX...

Ah Ha. Er any suggestions on which logs I start with. There seems to be a few to do with mail.

Hi My mail app 'sometimes', just 2 or 3 times a day, cannot connect to my mail server and reports a connection error. Five minutes later it is fine. I check very often. A client reports they cannot connect more frequently - often - and for longer periods. An hour or so at a time. So I cannot...

Thanks for your help. I'm going to ask the sysadmin for guidance on this as I may do more harm than good.

Ah. Discovered that changing my ftp connection from passive mode to active modes allows me to connect.

Hi Whilst trying to configure the MySQL rule on my VPS Plesk Firewall I appear to have broken access via FTP, No encryption, Port 21, Passive . Those connections used to work. The only way to enable access is to change 'System policy for incoming traffic' from 'Deny all other incoming traffic'...

Hi Forum I have self-managed VPS (with root access) and a managed server with admin access. I'd like to set up a connection from a website on the VPS to a database on the managed server. $dsn = 'mysql:host=11.11.111.111;port=3306;dbname=xxxxxx'; $user = "xxxxxxx"; $pass= "xxxxxxxxxx"; The...

Thank you - ever so kind. I will try that now.

I see. Thanks. Sounds good. Any search suggestions for a tutorial on doing so?

Hi All I have created a scheduled task in plesk as root to send a server backup to an external (ftp) location. Naturally the task contains the ftp password for the destination. I would prefer to use the GUI instead to schedule the backup but I need to exclude a specific domain from the back...

Just in case anybody finds this - it worked for me. :)

For anybody who happens to find this thread - I rebooted the VPS and it came back online. :)
