Clearing all FTP sessions

Question

I am receiving this error:

I've closed down all of my FTP Clients (I use Panic Transmit + Coda on my Macbook & Filezilla on my other laptop). And I've locked my FTP and unlocked it again from within the control panel.

How do I end the session for all users currently connected via FTP to my server? (I'm thinking through Terminal?)

Solution

You can close connection on your server using some commands:

1. netstat + kill

   netstat -na
   kill PID
   

2. tcpkill

   tcpkill -i eth0 host 10.0.0.1
   

3. killcx (http://spamcleaner.org/en/misc/killcx.html)

   killcx <ip>:<port>
   

4. tcpdrop command (FreeBSD):

   tcpdrop myhost.net:2353 example.com:ftp
