Manage multiple FTP connections

This guide helps resolve a potential 530 error by reducing the number of simultaneous FTP connections to Web Hosting.

Resolve a 530 Error

The error message 530 Sorry, the maximum number of clients (25) for this user are already connected usually appears as a result of multiple and simultaneous connections with an FTP software that handles disconnections poorly or attempts to open multiple connections at once in an attempt to speed up downloads.

Once you have received this error, you should close the FTP program and then wait for 30 minutes so that the server terminates active connections and you can reconnect.

You can also create a new FTP user and connect with it.

To avoid this situation with FileZilla, go to the Edit -> Settings menu, then under the Transfers tab, set the number of simultaneous transfers to 2.

It is recommended to use the FTP Manager file manager.
