    Idle FTP Connections

    What is / causes an idle ftp connection?

    Idle ftp connections are caused when an FTP client opens multiple connections
    without closing the previous ones, or due to an incorrect setting.

     

    Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP

    If your FTP client is using more than 8 connections at the same time, you will get
    refused with a message similar to this:

    Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP
    Error: Could not connect to server
    view of 421 too many connections error in filezilla





    Viewing / Closing Idle Connections in cPanel

    1. Login to cPanel.
    2. Click the FTP Session Control button in the Files section.
      access ftp session list
    3. You will then see a list of all your current FTP connections. Click the red X in the Disconnect column.
    4. You will then see a message similar to this "Are you sure you want to disconnect testuser@example.com FTP user?." Click the Disconnect button to proceed.


      You are finished when you see a message like this:"The FTP session with PID 27510 was terminated. "
