vsftpd Connection refused: too many sessions for this address
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2018 8:29 am
I am using latest version of vesta 0.9.8r21 on ubuntu 14.04 and vsftpd: version 3.0.2 and my problem is related to uploading files via FTP.
The service has worked great for the past two years and I was able to upload thousands of files with 0 errors. However recently,
I can't do that anymore, if I try to upload let's say 1000 files, it will do the first ~300 files ok but then it will start to fail
until gradually all upload slots are blocked retrying on these failed files 2 times, waiting for the timeout, and in the end I am left with a bunch of failed transfers.
I am using Filezilla 3.33 on Windows as a client. This is what it looks like in Filezilla when it initially fails:
vsftp.log looks like this for the failed transfers:
Then after some retries Filezilla shows these errors:
vsftp.log looks like this:
This is how my config looks for vsftpd:
Any ideas on how this can be fixed? Thank you!
