Cant connect to FTP

[dakkafex]

I got a new VPS and got Cpanel on it, i have made an ftp acount for one of my domains, but i cant connect to it with FZ no matter what i try.

i used to be able before with another vps and i had allot of trouble getting that working too but i have no idea anymore how to do that

Hello

Could you elaborate on the specific error message you are receiving in your FTP client? Have you tried using the IP address of the server as the hostname in the event your domain name has not propagated to the server?

Thank you.

"ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".

is what im getting, im using the config file from cpanel

 

[cPanelMichael]

Check to see if you have any firewall rules enabled on your system that could be blocking FTP access. Also, are you utilizing the domain name or IP address to access FTP?

Thank you.

 

[dakkafex]

domain name, and no nothing is blocking it

- - - Updated - - -

apearently it works with the IP, so i gues the domain name isnt linked to the IP correctly

- - - Updated - - -

so do i have to change the domains DNS to the server's IP?

 

[cPanelMichael]

You should create the appropriate name servers at your domain registrar. Then, set the name servers for your domain name to the ones you created.

Thank you.

i still have no idea how DNS and name servers work

This is an older document, but it should be helpful to you:

Thank you.

 

[dakkafex]

ill look into it,
Thanks

 

[dakkafex]

so i got it working now, but i still only can connect with IP to the FTP not with the domain name itself with or without ftp.

 

[dakkafex]

and im allso getting 500 errors now for some reason..

 

[dakkafex]

ok 500 error gone, but i still only got IP for ftp and cpanel, im also trying to get phpmyadmin useable per domain, is this doable?

 

[cPanelMichael]

Please ensure you open a separate thread for each individual issue. Check to see if the domain name points to the IP address. It may take time for the DNS changes you made to propagate. To answer your other question, yes, there should be a phpMyAdmin option within cPanel of the account.

Thank you.
