Greetings!
I have recently acquired a dedicated server from SyS. To manage my server more easily, I attempted to install an FTP. However, after installation and configuration, when I try to connect, FileZilla indicates an error:
Status: Connecting to 176.31.125.154:21...
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by the server".
Error: Unable to establish a connection to the server

What should I do?
Thank you for your reading.

    Hello,

    It's impossible to respond at this stage; we need to know how your FTP server is configured. In theory, you should provide a login and a password in your FTP client that have been pre-configured on the server side.

    Personally, I recommend using 
    proftpd-basic
    (apparently renamed proftpd on Ubuntu) which is easy to configure and well-documented. The default configuration on Debian (and thus Ubuntu) allows for an FTP account corresponding to each Linux user (so identification is done with the same login-password pairs).

    More details here:
    https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/proftpd

    Good luck.
