FTP per_source_limit Error
While trying to download and upload files via FTP, I was getting
Oct 11 15:19:39 209443-www2 xinetd[12269]: EXIT: smtp status=1 pid=8309 duration=0(sec)
Oct 11 15:19:39 209443-www2 xinetd[12269]: FAIL: ftp per_source_limit from=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
In order to fix this I had to modify the /etc/xinet.d/ftp_psa file. I did so by adding the bold lines to the file:
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
<strong>instances = UNLIMITED</strong>
<strong>per_source = UNLIMITED</strong>
server = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
server_args = -c /etc/proftpd.conf
}
After saving the file, restart xinetd:
/sbin/service xinetd restart
