Server refuses connections after time
Hi, We've been running WFTP for a couple of years. Until quite recently, the server ran flawlessly, non-stop. But a couple of months ago, the server started refusing connections. The only way I could fix it was to restart the server (Ubuntu 12LTS). Then the server runs fine for a couple of weeks before refusing connections once again. It has happened several times now and seems to be a permanent problem. Please help me fix it, thanks.

Re: Server refuses connections after time
Did you get any server logs in WingFTP? If you did not, maybe you can configure the maximum number of file descriptors like this:

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. I have the WFTP server logs but there doesn't seem to be any relevant info in them. Which log should I be looking in and what am I looking for?

WingFTP's domain logs, I guess it exhausted the socket resource and you need to enlarge the max file handle.
