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.

Hi,
Could you please run this command and post result ?
cat /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange
Best regards,
Yes, still get this:

Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established.

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.
