Running on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.2.
I have been having this problem for a long time now. If I restart the server, FTP works fine. If I do not use it for a few hours, then it stops accepting connections and FTP client gives the following messages:
Status: Waiting to retry... Status: Resolving address of x.com Status: Connecting to xx.xx.xx.xx:21... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Error: Connection timed out after 10 seconds of inactivity Error: Could not connect to server
At this point, in virtualmin ProFTPd is still running. If I stop it, and restart it in virtualmin, same exact results.
This issue does not fix until a full restart of the server. Which brings me back to to beginning again.
Any advice on how to resolve this issue?
Howdy,
After that issue occurs -- what is the output of the command "dmesg | tail -30"?
Also, how much RAM does your server have?
You can determine that by running "free -m".
