FTP stopped working?

[yhelothar]

It was working great for several years and it recently stopped working.

I tried using a BulletProof FTP server and a FileZilla server.
For the client, I'm using FileZilla.


Here's the server side log from the BPFTP

I have sometimes got shooty performance with Filezilla. What I did was uninstall and download the latest version.

I also tried using windows explorer and Linux's file explorer to open the FTP. They used to work great but not anymore either. :\

Have the permissions changed on the data directory?

 

[yhelothar]

The permissions for the directory is set to all.
