Let me start off by stating unequivocally that I do not like Plesk. <\/p>\n

    \n I do not like it sam I am,
    \n I want to break it with a wham,
    \n I would not, could not, on a box.
    \n I could not, would not, with firefox.
    \n Would you like it here or there?
    \n I would not like it here or there.
    \n I do not like it anywhere.\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    I realize this is probably only relevant to about 3 of the readers, but I\u2019m posting this so I don\u2019t forget how to do it! In my efforts to ban the completely insecure FTP protocol from a clients server entirely, I\u2019ve decided to disable the FTP service running on the server, which is running CentOS.<\/p>\n

    There is no place in plesk to do this, and because I despise everything about plesk anyway\u2026 I took the manual approach.<\/p>\n

    First, look in your \/etc\/xinetd.d\/ directory and see if there\u2019s a file named psa_ftp in there. If not, you might have to make\/add this change to your \/etc\/xinetd.conf file.<\/p>\n

    Open up the file as root, and look for the following section:
    \n
    \nservice ftp
    \n{
    \n disable = yes
    \n socket_type = stream
    \n protocol = tcp
    \n wait = no
    \n user = root
    \n instances = UNLIMITED
    \n server = \/usr\/sbin\/in.proftpd
    \n server_args = -c \/etc\/proftpd.conf
    \n}
    \n<\/code>
    \nChange the
    \n
    \n disable = no
    \n<\/code>
    \nline to
    \n
    \ndisable = yes
    \n<\/code>
    \nas shown above.<\/p>\n

    Run the following command to restart xinetd
    \n
    \n\/etc\/init.d\/xinetd restart
    \n<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
