Shows no other process attached to that port.FileZilla is a popular, free, and open-source FTP/SFTP application often used to transfer files between a local PC and a remote server.įileZilla works well with HostPapa servers.

I read that proftpd may be blocked from listening on port 21 if something else is running. When checking port 22 it simply shows ssh so it looks like proftpd isn't actually listening for some reason Results show proftpd accepting connections How can I get back to using port 21 and just connect using normal ftp? I have spent the day on this, seems like it would be easy to fix, however I'm having no luck. I have checked the proFTPD config file and it is listening on port 21. When I try to sftp into my server i get an authentication failed (probably because I haven't set up the keys) I have ran proFTPD config check and status check, both return positive (it is running)

I have checked the proFTPD error logs, and there are no errors logged. However, I am not running any firewall, iptables is set to allow 'all' - this is a local server. Since my update when I try to connect in my usual way I get the following error: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by serverįrom my research the error states my connection is being refused by a firewall or something of the like. I was connecting to the server on port 21 with no issues.

I have made no changes to the client attempting to connect to the server. I am working on Debian 8 - ran a series of automated system updates and now I am unable to connect to my local server running proFTPD.
