after these steps, i cheked pure-ftpd status and looks like works correctly, but when i try to login from filezilla:
when generated new one pure-ftpd.pem file:
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -new -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -subj “/C=US/ST=Denial/L=Springfield/O=Dis/CN=example.com” -keyout /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem
error:
00:21:08 Status: Resolving address of example.com
00:21:08 Status: Connecting to xx.xx.xxx.xxx:21…
00:21:08 Status: Connection attempt failed with “ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server”.
00:21:08 Error: Could not connect to server
when i used original pure-ftpd.pem file after Cyber Panel installation:
error:
Host: example.com:21 hostname does not match certificate
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the exact same issue. Running Cyperpanel 2.3 on a Vultr instance with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64 and the FTP account I create does not work. How can I test if my issue i also caused by pure-ftpd?
PS: I ran some commands I found in this and another thread and this is the output I got:
root@aa:~# journalctl -u pure-ftpd --no-pager |sed -e "s|$(hostname)|hostname|g"
-- No entries --
root@aa:~# systemctl status pure-ftpd.service

As a workaround and is the best secure way to transfer files - install bitvise ssh client and log into ssh on the top you will see tabs to swicth to sFTP do it. It should work. This is current workaround most people are using.
Youc an use any other client like cyberduck but bitvise is what I have tested and setup for people multiple times.
