Question

How to Resolve too many connection in filezilla with out setting up site manager manually??

Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP Error: Could not connect to server

Answer 1

I was able to resolve my issue by changing the encryption setting in site manager under the general tab to only use plain ftp (insecure). Prior to that no matter what settings I selected I would get a time out error. I had been able to connect once or twice but while transferring would get a "421 Too many connections (8) from this IP Error"

Answer 2

Sometimes FTP connections do not terminate properly and must be manually disconnected. We can do this in the cPanel under FTP Session control.

Instructions:

1. Login to your cPanel
2. Scroll down the menu until you find "FTP Session Control" or "FTP Connections".
3. You will see a list of your connections. Click on the button in the DISCONNECT column as long as the status of the connection states IDLE. You might have to click on the DISCONNECT button several times to remove all of the connections.

Just make sure that you clear out all of the connections listed and then try logging again. I did just go in myself and clear the connections. The connections should clear out when you disconnect from FTP.

Also, see a full article on the 421 Too many connections error. It explains how to view, close, and limit simultaneous connections within FileZilla.
