Resolved How can I configure the passive ports that PROFTPD uses to make the external backups?

Hello everyone,

We are making the PLESK backups to a NAS via FTP. The configured passive port range of the NAS is not the standard one.

How can we configure the passive FTP ports that the Backup Manager uses while connecting to the external backup resource and making backups via FTP?

We are on Ubtuntu 14.

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi there,

It seems that there is no need to restart PROFTPD after editing the
Code:
/etc/proftpd.d/55-passive-ports.conf
file.

Best regards from Spain.
 
Hello NetConsulting,
We are making the PLESK backups to a NAS via FTP. The configured passive port range of the NAS is not the standard one.
When FTP-client switches to passive FTP, FTP-server suggest what concrete port to use. In such case, you don't need to configure anything in Plesk's ProFTPd.
