nhouck Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Anyone else have their monitor getting hung up and not accepting FTP connections? It seems to do this when the log indicates someone failing to connect or possibly trying to brute force their way in. "Ip has been banned for 15 minutes. Too many login attempts." Don't know what to do about this, happens every few days. Thanks for any advice/help. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The monitor does run in low priority mode to avoid lagging the game servers. Possibly the person trying to get in is flooding many FTP requests at one time causing the monitor to stop responding? You can go into the windows services list and set the monitor service to restart itself in the properties. This may stop the FTP not working. However I would suggest maybe getting you provider to block the inbound IP for you. Or install a firewall so you may block these yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhouck Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have changed the monitor to restart in the services, but I guess it is not the whole monitor that is hanging, just the ftp portion of it. Still getting random failures on the ftp where people cannot connect even though the monitor says it is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jissh Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 May need to open passive ports in your firewall for ftp. I'm not sure if the ftp software in TCA uses passive or not but if so there usually something like 35000-36000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhouck Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hmm well I don't think that's the problem because it works fine for a while then dies. After I restart the monitor it starts working again. I think what is needed is to monitor the ftp process inside the monitor and restart it if it hangs?

ECF Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Next time the FTP hangs put in a ticket with the server login info and I will ask Luis to take a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Mine has done this several times as well. I just issued a monitor restart and it cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that fixes it, but I can't keep doing this every other day I'll put in a ticket next time maybe we can get to a resolution. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
