Thank you for your reply, i'm solved the issue by using the below comment , its from this thread , thanks for your support.

Hi Guys,

Instead of commenting out the TLS lines just add at top of the file LoadModule mod_tls.c and enjoy the benefits of SFTP.

The full /etc/proftpd/conf.d/virtualmin.conf file on Ubuntu 16.04 TLS will looks like bellow:

DefaultRoot ~

Enable TLS

LoadModule mod_tls.c TLSEngine on TLSRequired on TLSRSACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/proftpd.crt TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/proftpd.key TLSOptions NoCertRequest TLSVerifyClient off TLSLog /var/log/proftpd/tls.log

TLSSessionCache shm:/file=/var/run/proftpd/sesscache

VirtualHost for SFTP (FTP over SSH) port

LoadModule mod_sftp.c

SFTPEngine on SFTPLog /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log

# Configure the server to listen on 2222 (openssh owns 22) Port 2222

# Configure the RSA and ECDSA host keys, using the same host key # files that OpenSSH uses. SFTPHostKey /etc/proftpd/ssh_host_rsa_key SFTPHostKey /etc/proftpd/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

# Configure the file used for comparing authorized public keys of users. SFTPAuthorizedUserKeys file:~/.sftp/authorized_keys

# Enable compression SFTPCompression delayed

# More then FTP max logins, as there are more ways to authenticate # using SSH2. MaxLoginAttempts 6 I hope this will help.

Hari, that advice is correct, but you can also fix it with this command:

# virtualmin config-system --include ProFTPd
