Server reboot necessary?

[tonguefu]

When making changes to my ProFTPd.conf file to enable FXP, do I need to reboot the server afterwards to get ProFTP to read the .conf file changes?

Also, why are the two high numbered ports 49152 and 65534 sometimes necessary? Do I need to enable these 2 ports on both FTP servers?

Uh.... how does this relate to FlashFXP?

In order to make FXP work for site 2 site transfers, you need to make changes to the existing FTP environment on your servers. Making such changes involves editing the configuration files of the server's FTP software. In the ProFTP environment, I'm supposed to add the AllowForeignAddress = on parameter.

My question is, after editing the configuration files and adding this statement, do I then need to reboot each server.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but your question seems to be about ProFTP. This is a support forum for FlashFXP. I'd suggest that you perhaps consider submitting your question to a ProFTP support board.

I was hoping somebody on this board had the experience in this area. Apparently not. I guess I'm the first person in history to try and actually do site 2 site transfers using this product. Some 'support" forum this is.

tonguefu, try asking here (http://www.proftpd.org/lists.html) and be sure to read the docs (http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/docs/).

The best place for support for proFTPD might indeed be their own website.
Have a look to this section of their documentation (http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/localsite/Userguide/linked/x410.html), it explains what to do to enable support for FXP. It says that reloading the configuration will suffice after editing the .conf file.

don't reboot your server...just do "service proftpd restart" as root from the command line :)

Thank you!!!!
