Anyone having issues in Linux with the FTP server? I am using Core FTP client and when it connects, it just says no response after entering username and password. Never loads.

Been working fine here without any issues, even after updating to the newest pre-alpha. You have the appropriate ports opened on your router for
forwarding to the port you chose?

Any specific client you are using, have you tried opening a terminal in linux and just typing ftp then then address to see the output, same can be done on windows to test the ftp server in plain text to see whats happening.

I have a datacenter hosted machine, not behind a firewall. I am using CoreFTP which worked before.

When ftp from console, i get the error after password:

Last login: Sun Dec 3 17:06:34 2017 from 70.5.45.104
cadams@byte-bbs:~$ ftp localhost
ftp: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
220 Mystic FTP server ready
Name (localhost:cadams): nugax
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: Transport endpoint is not connected


No idea what that means. I guess I can google.

Also I have passive on, and default port that was in MIS.
Doesnt work command line or through a client, passv on or off.

I read on google this was possible port blocking. I have all ports open.
There are no firewalls on this box, and it has an internet facing IP. (datacenter).

Try removing the server from mis, then re-adding it back to see if that could also resolve the issue?

I got it working. Removed it, re-added. Also, upgraded to latest A36.

The actual full log from the MIS FTP session might be helpful if you can provide it, so we can see what is happening.

Could it be that your IP was auto-blocked by Mystic or that your FTP client is trying to open up multiple connections and you have it not configured to allow it?

Some clients spam your FTP server with a lot of connections at once, and if
you have autoban on, it could be enough to instantly ban it.

You also have to make sure your "domain name" is properly set and resolvable, and of course that your port range is open when using passive, and your server is allow to do outbound connections to random computers (if not passive).

We'll see more via the log file. It will log all transmission between the server and the client.
