FTP will not work!!!
Hi,
After spending nearly 4 days trying to get ftp working on my server i still haven't achieved it. I got a server with a default install of plesk and cent os 4. I update to 8.2 and when i first go to try ftp it says "server closed connection" on my ftp client. So then i tried updating 8.2 again and the installer failed. So i tried manually installing both proftpd and pureftpd via ssh and yum and it fails to install. I've also restarted the server a few times. I've tried logging in with every single username/domain/i.p. assigned to the server. and i've had no luck. Can someone please help me, i really want to upload some files to my server.
Cheers

Please do a yum search proftp and pure-ftpd, I think Plesk already installed them. If that is true, then try to see why they do not start. If Plesk did not install them you should have the rpm's in the copy of the Plesk 8.2, try to install from there.

Just download the source from proftpd.org
Follow the instructions and compile it manually. I wouldn't do a complete re-install.≈ PeakVPN.Com | Complete Privacy VPN | Cloud Hosting | Guaranteed Security | 1Gbps-10Gbps Unmetered

Check if the rpm install is working fine on the server. Try installing a sample rpm on server.
