I tried to several domain's ftp for uploading but always restarting login process showing below message

Code:
FireFTP 1.0.10 'Human Being' created by Mime Čuvalo

What to do?
 
if you use firewall on server, check that port 20 is open (it used for ftp PASV mode)
In your proftpd.conf you can see line like:
PassivePorts 35000 35999

Try to open these ports also
 
Modern firewalls (even KISS) dynamically open related ports by default, so you don't need to open the port range or even use the line in your proftpd.conf file.

I couldnt able to login thru ftp. CSF firewall installed. Without ftp I cant able to migrate server.
 
Can you ftp in with CSF turned off? If not, then you've got a different issue. If so, then you've got a misconfiguration in CSF. I'd still recommend trying with KISS instead; the version I offer should work without any configuration at all.

If necessary, then shut off iptables completely and try that. Once you've shut off iptables, post the output of:
Code:
# iptables -L

Have we all missed something? You're trying to upload a website?

If so, then you probably should be logging in just as username, and not as [email protected].

This problem happening for CSF. I am trying csf in 4 way to check.

First time CSF install and trying to access ftp without configuring csf. Success.
Second tiem Csf security level set to midium and trying to access ftp. Not succed for first time.
Third time Csf security level set to low and trying to access ftp and get success.
Fourth time I set security level to midium and trying to access ftp, oh my, ftp login successfully ok but after few second
Unable to make a connection. Please try again.

For login I use user id as [email protected]

May be I miss something here in CSF. Anyone have experience like that? How to resolve this problem?
 
I don't use CSF and I don't recommend any default settings or canned settings for any hosting server firewall; hosting is to specific a use for general policies to work well. Hopefully someone with CSF experience will post.

hostingdivine,
could you show TCP_IN and TCP_OUT from your /etc/csf/csf.conf ?
