Hello,
It seems that my FTP Server is not responding, though the DNS is working fine :(
When I try connecting to a domain I get this:
STATUS:> Connecting to ftp.domain.com
STATUS:> Connecting to ftp.domain.com (ip = i.p.add.ress)
STATUS:> Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message...
This is where it stucks. No further messages are received. I have restarted the FTP Server from Control Panel as well as restarted the Server, but still no avail.
Any idea what the problem is ?

BTW, I just shutdown the FTP Server, and rebooted the server. Waiting for the server to be online again. Then I would check on the FTP Server and would let you know the results. :(

I don't think you can. The last bit was just an idea. have you tried restarting the server using /sbin/reboot/ ??? sorry i cant be of more help.

Wouldnt this work -
/etc/sbin/proftpd start or reboot make it restart?

you can restart the proftpd by
/usr/sbin/proftpd restart
and when I restarted it, it gave me an error.
[root@www /root]# /usr/sbin/proftpd restart
- Fatal: unknown configuration directive '0' on line 475 of '/etc/proftpd.conf'
And here is the link 475 of /etc/proftpd.conf
<Directory /home/sites/site60/ftp/incoming>
Umask 002
<Limit STOR>
AllowAll
</Limit>
0 <Limit READ>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
The line with the ZERO (0) in it is line 475. I thought the zero would be there by mistake, but when I removed it I got this error:
www.hostingbetter.com - Fatal: Socket operation on non-socket
www.hostingbetter.com - (Running from command line? Use `ServerType standalone' in config file!)
Any idea why is that happening?

I have even restored my old Ftp.pm thinking that whether that was creating problem, but no.. It was'nt.
BTW, to restart proftpd it is:
/usr/sbin/proftpd restart

just a check...
based on the non-socket error - make sure ftp is listed in your inetd config file. Check your /etc/inetd.conf file for the following line:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.proftpd

I have sent them an e-mail. I am going on their Chat Support right now. Maybe it would be good if you could accompany me over there.

I had my problem solved.
Actually, when I removed the 0 from line 475 and rebooted the server. It eventually started working.
Thanks for all the help smartbackups provided. I am thankfully to him from deep heart. :P
