Cannot Restart FTP Server

  • I added a new directory to my FTP server configuration, but it is not displaying when I log in even though the permissions are set properly. I thought I might be able to fix this by stopping and restarting the proftpd service, but I seem to have a strange issue with being unable to actually stop the service. When I disable FTP through the web UI, I can still log in to the FTP server. I also tried service proftpd stop but was still able to log in. What can I do about this?

    While I don't use ftp, I know proftp it is still using an init script instead of systemd unit file. Try: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd force-stop

    If you are determining that it is still running by the services green indicator then that is deceiving. /etc/init.d/proftpd status is the most accurate method or grep the output of ps.

    It still shows as running using these two commands as well. It's the unkillable service.

    I can't replicate this at all. I am able to start and stop it with systemctl and /etc/init.d/

    Here's what I see:


    I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I'm considering doing a good old kill -KILL <pid>, but at the same time, I am not sure that's a good idea.


    Update: I decided to give it a shot and used `kill` as I mentioned above. It worked.
