WHAT THE HECKS GOING ON WITH FTP????

How am I suppose to keep new customers happy when they have to call 5 times a day and tell me to switch from ProFTPD to Pure-FTPd and then back to ProFTPd???

Surely I can't be the only one having this problem!

Does anyone have a fix for this?

[gpreston]

None of my customers have mentioned any problems with FTP on our server. I'm not sure what to tell ya.

[ccccanada]

None of our servers are having FTP problems.

How about describing your problems so someone may be able to help.

[webignition]

Never had a single FTP issue.

Fix for your customers asking you to constantly swop between FTP programs? Ignore the users or kill them...

[chirpy]

Nope, not had any problems either - any reason that you're not just staying on pure-ftpd?

Have you actually logged a ticket with cPanel if you're having coninual reproducable problems? If not, you should.

I have been having this problem as well. If you try to upload via ftp basically it will stop at 4 kb/sec and then continue to go down until it just pauses and disconnects. This will happen again and again and then start working a few times, and then just suddenly mess up again. With pro-ftp and pure-ftp.. it didnt happen before the last update, everything worked fine before.

We cant figure it out...

Pure FTP will on display 2000 files at once and if a few people are ftping it will run out of memory.

Pure FTP will on display 2000 files at once and if a few people are ftping it will run out of memory.

You can change the number of files that are displayed in the pure-ftpd config file (/etc/pure-ftpd.conf)

Thanks, but I still wont use it:

and if a few people are ftping it will run out of memory.

Then you have something wrong with your server. We have tons of users using it on a very regular basis and have never had that issue. Could be you have to small a server what you are doing? (overloading)

[KatieBuller]

This is a new server, theres hardly anyone on it:
# cat /var/log/messages | grep signal\ 11 | grep ftp | grep Jul\ \ 1 | wc -l
104

I too am having problems with ftp on my server.

1. users are no longer able to ftp through a browser
2. in the pure-ftpd directory, there are several broken links. my main virtual ip link is broken and pointing to a directory that does not exist (var/ftp)

This started yesterday. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

We did have few problems with Pro-ftpd last month,,, which forced us to move to Pure-ftpd.. but every thing seems to be working file till the date... we have not received any complains so far...

I would also like to add that some clients are just a JUNK... never to believe them..
