FTP service running when disabled after reboot

I reported this issue a while ago but I still have the same issue.

FTP service (proftpd) starts on boot even when disabled

If I disable FTP service and reboot then I get a red light on the running indicator for the FTP service.

If I enable FTP and restart then I get green light on running indicator but enabled is grey.

So I think there might be a bug in the code/logic that enables/disables the FTP service.

I'm happy to investigate but I need some help to get started

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Yes it is running when I check status using systemctl status proftpd - but according to the configuration it should not be running as it was off and disabled prior to the reboot.

If I enable and disable the service using the GUI, proftpd is correctly sopped and disabled

when I do a restart, I am back to the same situation so I really would like to find and resolve the root issue.

Happy Easter everyone.

I have tried but the command does not stop the service - see below.

Thanks. The issue is that the FTP service starts on reboot even when disabled using systemctl disable and also disabled in the GUI.

I think there could be a bug in the logic the controls the service. If I enable the FTP service in GUI and restart, then proftpd is disabled.
