Ftp suddenly goes off . It shows ”connection timed out’ before
To determine what’s wrong with FTP :
- You take a look at /var/log/messages file for detail error reports.
- You should add “SERVER_IP SERVER_HOSTNAME” into /etc/hosts after the server hostname couldn’t resolved
- Make sure that inetd/xinetd is running. You could experienced problems with sending mail (SMTP) when inetd/xinetd is not running.
ps -aux | grep inetd
or
ps -aux | grep xinetd - Check following configuration in /etc/proftpd.conf :
IdentLookups Off
UseReverseDNS Off
Something must blocked out FTP when server hostname resolved, inetd/xinetd is running.
Last solution : Check firewall settings to make sure open FTP ports
Note : this can be tricky in plesk. Pleask firewall modules says open. Check the system firewall.
