Closing FTP Connections in cPanel

Sometimes FTP connections do not terminate properly and must be manually disconnected. We can do this in the cPanel under FTP Connection in cPanel.

Below are the steps to do so.
  1. Login to your cPanel
  2. Find "FTP Connections".



  3. You will see a list of your connections.
  4. Click on the button in the DISCONNECT column . You might have to click on the DISCONNECT button several times to remove all of the connections.
       
    Once all the FTP connection are removed. You can establish ftp connection.
    You need to disconnect IDLE connection as it may lead to problems like "421 Too many connections" when establising FTP Connection.
