Hello,

last few days I have a problem when I go to an ftp account.

So I have to wait for 5 seconds each time a file is sent. Oddly, it does not seem to me that this is ncftp is the server used with Plesk, but proftpd? I do not understand why it has become so, whereas before it worked. I do not think I have to change something in relation to ftp.

In Plesk > Add remove compenents, I have ProFTPD ftpserver enable.

Thank you for you help.

Make sure that you have proftpd as ftp server specified in /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa
And check output of following command:

# lsof -i tcp:21

Thank's for your reply,

with # lsof -i tcp:21

I get :
[root@ns ~]# lsof -i tcp:21
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ncftpd 4888 root 0u IPv4 45621 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
ncftpd 5010 root 0u IPv4 45621 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
ncftpd 5032 root 0u IPv4 45621 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)

Looks like that you have installed ncftpd instead of Plesk proftpd server for some reason. Remove it at least and reinstall and reconfigure proftpd server.

Hi Igor,

Ok I have uninstall ncftp, but I'm not sure how to reinstall and reconfigure proftp. I went to the panel, but proftp is already installed. Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall? So I click ProFTPD ftpserver and changed its status to (remove).

When I validate I have:



The following components depend on the components you are going to remove or conflict with components you are going to install:

Plesk Updater, Apache web server support, Webalizer webstat, Parallels Plesk Panel, Plesk Web hosting, Apache mod_python module, Bandwidth Limiter For Apache support (mod_bw), Apache mod_fcgid module, Apache mod_perl module

To complete the removal or installation, additionally remove the dependent or conflicting components. To cancel the removal or installation of certain components, select the corresponding option from the actions list.

Installation or removal requests for following components conflict with each other:

PHP5 support

All conflicts should be resolved before proceeding with update. To resolve the conflict deselect one or more of the listed components. Additional conflicts may be detected after you resolve this one and click Continue.


I'm a little afraid to make a mistake. Could you give me the procedure?

thank you,

Mickael

Install psa-proftpd package with force with using OS package manager - rpm or dpkg. Contact support team if you are not familiar with it.
