Ftp backups fails on latest ver 12

[Keith007]

Hi,

I have migrated some boxes to almalinux 8 and configured the whm backup system as per normal to FTP in to another Box.
This fails validation but places a text file in the ftp space of [email protected] ie "validate.tmp-111111.txt"

xx. iswebserver, yy is backup server.

Errors from backup server.

Jul 26 22:35:20 uk24 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] [email protected] is now logged in

Im able to connect to the backup ftp with ftp clients no issues

Webserver is Almalinux8 WHM etc..

Any help welcome

If you use csf add IP of the backup server to /etc/csf/csf.allow and restart csf

Hi,

thanks for replying, I have all servers white listed and even passive port ranges all setup in csf.

it’s weird that it’s able to connect and create a validation file but not pass validation.

cheers

I have firewalld disabled and not running.
Disabling CSF firewall solves the problem. backups validate instantly

Something to do with the CSF install

Any susgestions?

I'm glad it wasn't a cPanel issue. That would confirm that *something* in the firewall configuration is causing the issue so you'll need to isolate a bit further to find exactly what the cause is.
