You need to use -c75 in your pure-ftpd startup options

You should mention your distro, so we could help you better.
Anyway, there should be a config file in /etc/pure-ftpd, so open it and search for something like max. connections, or number of clients (MaxClientsNumber in stock pure-ftpd.conf)

Hi

Some distros use a wrapper to parse config files for pure-ftpd. Do you have a folder called "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/"? If so, make a file in it called MaxClientsNumber and put 75 in it.

sorry i forgot to put up the distro i am using ubunto 10.04 server

Ubuntu uses that wrapper, this commands should do it then:

Code:

sudo bash -c "echo 75 > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/MaxClientsNumber"
sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart

thanks it worked but for some crazy reason i had to use

Code:

/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart

when i used

Code:

/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd- restart

it would come up as directory not found

That means that you're running pure-ftpd with mysql support for virtual users. You might find this howto useful, to understand how it works and how you can manage your ftp server.
