Hey guys,
One of my virtualmin servers started doing this recently.
Uploading archive to FTP server xxx.xx.xx.xxx .. .. upload failed! Failed to connect to xxx.xx.xx.xxx:13247 : Connection timed out
Uploading archive to FTP server xxx.xx.xx.xxx .. .. upload failed! Failed to connect to xxx.xx.xx.xxx:48828 : Connection timed out
Uploading archive to FTP server xxx.xx.xx.xxx .. .. upload failed! Failed to connect to xxx.xx.xx.xxx:39733 : Connection timed out
Each time the scheduled backup is run or if I run it manually, the port following the FTP's IP address is different, random. I tried putting in :21 at the end of the IP address, but it still comes up with a random port instead.
What the heck? Nothing has changed on the server recently that makes it any different from the other servers I administer.
Howdy,
Well, FTP uses a variety of ports when it performs a file upload.
Did the firewall on the remote server recently change?
Also, is the remote server running Linux or Windows?

Remote server has basically the same setup as this one, it's just a Virtualmin box with lots of storage for backups, running on CentOS.
No firewall changes, but I will check to make sure.
I disabled the firewall on the server having the issue and... it's solved for 2 of 3 backup servers it uploads to. It may have been misconfigured when it was originally setup. So it wasn't the backup servers, except that one that still didn't work. I didn't think of the firewall, because it's supposed to be using the same setup as the other servers. Weird. Thanks!!
