On Cpanel server, i can’t login to FTP, first i reset the FTP password in WHM, still it is not working. I tried to login with another web site FTP login details, that too not working. I tried to login to Cpanel, it is working fine.

FTP login gets error

On searching cpanel forum, cpanelkenneth have a simple solution

Try:

1. Restarting the FTP servers
2. Synchronize the FTP passwords

I have already tryed Synchronize, but do not restarted. A restart of FTP server fixed the problem.

root@server10 [/scripts]# ./restartsrv_pureftpd
Starting pure-config.pl: [ OK ]
Starting pure-authd:
