[boka003]

Hello,

My FTP is offline and it makes me have problems during the upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04.

How I can reinstall FTP?

Hallo,

on Ubuntu 24 the output should look like:

Code: Select all

dpkg --list | grep proftpd
ii  proftpd-core                         1.3.8.b+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1                       amd64        Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon - binaries
ii  proftpd-doc                          1.3.8.b+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1                       all          Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon - documentation
ii  proftpd-mod-crypto                   1.3.8.b+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1                       amd64        Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon - TLS/SSL/SFTP modules
ii  proftpd-mod-mysql                    1.3.8.b+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1                       amd64        Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon - MySQL module

So save /etc/proftpd folder, remove all proftpd packages (do not purge), install the 4 proftpd packes shown above, check the config

I am at Ubuntu 22.04

It should be same?

Hallo,

at what state is your server? You said you made an upgrade

[boka003]

Yes,

I have made the upgrade from Ubuntu 20 to Ubuntu 22.

But i was unable to update from Ubuntu 22 to Ubuntu 24 (Update is canceled because of FTP error)

Now I am at Ubuntu 22


Regards
