Let me start off by stating unequivocally that I do not like Plesk.
-
I do not like it sam I am,
I want to break it with a wham,
I would not, could not, on a box.
I could not, would not, with firefox.
Would you like it here or there?
I would not like it here or there.
I do not like it anywhere.
I realize this is probably only relevant to about 3 of the readers, but I’m posting this so I don’t forget how to do it! In my efforts to ban the completely insecure FTP protocol from a clients server entirely, I’ve decided to disable the FTP service running on the server, which is running CentOS.
There is no place in plesk to do this, and because I despise everything about plesk anyway… I took the manual approach.
First, look in your /etc/xinetd.d/ directory and see if there’s a file named psa_ftp in there. If not, you might have to make/add this change to your /etc/xinetd.conf file.
Open up the file as root, and look for the following section:
service ftp
{
disable = yes
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
server_args = -c /etc/proftpd.conf
}
Change the
disable = no
line to
disable = yes
as shown above.
Run the following command to restart xinetd
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
