Strange cPanel CSF FTP Issue
Hello,
I have a VPS running cPanel 11.30 CSF.
My issue is that it seems I have to whitelist/allow my current IP Address into the firewall before I can access via FTP only. My IP adress is not blocked.
Any Ideas?

Does FTP client return any error? By the way, is this an OpenVZ VPS?

Check your CSF config for the maximum number of FTP connections allowed (I think the default is 10). Then check your FTP software and see if it has a setting for the number of connections it can open in one session.
I've seen this happen when someone tries to FTP and their software is opening multiple connections. You can also test it by (temporarily) increasing the limit in CSF to something like 100 and see if you can then FTP without problem. If you can, you need to adjust your FTP software to limit the number of connections it's trying to open, and then bring the CSF limit back down to something more sensible.
I've also seen some FTP software keep old connections open briefly and open new ones, so if it's limited to (say) 8, it may actually still be trying to hold 16 open.

Try setting your connection in PASV mode on your FTP client too.
