    Question 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

    Setting up Install Process
    Setting up repositories
    update                    100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

    Thanks Daspawnx, I get the exact same results when installing pure ftpd as pro ftpd.

    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.

    I successfully removed pro ftpd but i cannot install it now. Is it easier if i just reformat the server and install plesk again?

    Just download the source from proftpd.org

    Follow the instructions and compile it manually. I wouldn't do a complete re-install.

    Code:
    chown: cannot access `/usr/local/psa/etc/httpsd.pem': No such file or directory
    
    ERROR while trying to chown root:0 /usr/local/psa/etc/httpsd.pem
    Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/psa-hotfix82070807.17.log), fix and try again
    
    Aborting...

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

    pure-ftpd/proftpd are not included in the default repositories. If he has extra repos he should check to see if proftp or pureftp are not added in the ignore list in yum.
