pure-ftpd Connection refused localhost on high sierra












1















When I try connect my local FTP server I have received the following error message:



$ ftp localhost
ftp: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
ftp: Trying 127.0.0.1 ...
ftp: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
ftp: no response from host


I have installed pure-ftpd on my High Sierra MacOS just like this:



$ brew install pure-ftpd


And after this I have started it:



$ brew services list | grep ftp
proftpd stopped
pure-ftpd started alexandre1202 /Users/alexandre1202/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.pure-ftpd.plist
vsftpd stopped


I also have tried with vsftpd and profptd but the issue is the same.



As we can see above the service is started but when I also have checked local connections and 21 port is not ESTABLISHED or LISTEN



# netstat -f inet -tan | grep 21



In addition I have checked by any ftp server on system



alemacbookpro:~ root# ps aux | grep ftp
root 60696 0.0 0.0 4279600 0 s002 R 6:22PM 0:00.00 grep ftp
alemacbookpro:~ root#


And if I try connect using the following, we can see that there is no LISTEN service:



# telnet localhost 21
Trying ::1...
Connection failed: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


I apreciate any help to figure out why I can not use FTP server locally.

          Problem has fixed after the following steps:



          1) I have stopped the service



          $ brew services stop pure-ftpd


          2) I have remove to service



          $ brew remove pure-ftpd


          3) I have updated brew



          $ brew upgrade


          4) I have cleaned it



          $ brew cleanup


          5) I have reinstalled it



          $ brew install pure-ftpd


          6) I have created the /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd following lines using root privilege:



          # pure-ftpd: auth account password session
          auth required pam_opendirectory.so
          account required pam_permit.so
          password required pam_deny.so
          session required pam_permit.so


          7) Set pam configuration



          sudo /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -lpam -B


          8) I have restart the service



          $ brew services restart pure-ftpd


          9) And finally the connection has successfully!
