Question

FTP Acces is blocked

Posted March 3, 2020 540 views
OpenLiteSpeed WordPress 1-Click

Hello,
I’m having some issues with access to FTP. I’ve used the Marketplace install of Cyberpanel and for some reason when I add an FTP user and try to log in, I’m constantly getting “The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server”. I’ve double-checked all Firewall settings and everything seems to be ok. By default, all the correct ports were opened with the “one-click install”. I’m kind of at a loss at this point and not really sure where to check next. Hoping I can get some help on this so I can get access to FTP upload/download for my domain.

            Last log entry (I removed IP info from log)

            It’s strange because when I was using filezilla to connect to my A2Hosting - no issues. I am pulling my hair out over this one. I even thought it was Filezilla and downngraded to an earlier version thinking it might be something with their program - same issue.

Well, I figured this on out. For anyone who wants to use the Cyberpanel Marketplace Installation on a blank droplet - you need to change the IP address inside of this directory file: 

/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ForcePassiveIP

I am not sure WHY there was a random IP address set inside of this file, but once I changed the IP address to match my droplet’s IP address - it works flawlessly now.
