Unreliable FTP Server

[Ryanmt]

Over the last week the ftp server has been acting up..


Jun 14 23:30:01 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[13524] vps.axoc.co.uk (127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]): connected - local : 127.0.0.1:21
Jun 14 23:30:01 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[13524] vps.axoc.co.uk (127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]): connected - remote : 127.0.0.1:46725
Jun 14 23:30:01 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[13524] vps.axoc.co.uk (127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]): FTP session opened.
Jun 14 23:30:01 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[13524] vps.axoc.co.uk (127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]): FTP session closed.
Jun 14 23:59:03 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[24503] vps.axoc.co.uk: ProFTPD killed (signal 15)
Jun 14 23:59:03 vps.axoc.co.uk proftpd[24503] vps.axoc.co.uk: ProFTPD 1.3.0 standalone mode SHUTDOWN

[till]

There is nothing unusual in this log. The entries for opening and closing a connection from localhost are from the script that checks if proftpd is running.

This is done by an ISPConfig cron job which is needed for the FTP traffic accounting. Nothing to worry about.

How do i stop it doing it? Im not always there to restart it once its gone offline

Run crontab -e and comment out the ftp_logs.php cron job.
