[Solved] FTP problem after account restoration "account: devashraf"

[devashraf]

Hello,
I restored my account, and everything works fine.
However, FTP has a problem.
It logs in successfully, but once I click the folder to access it, it fails for a "permission error" (Directory /devashraf: permission denied).
I checked the settings, and set the password again, checked the setting being correct as per this page.
I use FileZilla.
Just to confirm, the problem happened after restoring the account.

This has happened before. Krydos can fix it.

Does it work now?

[devashraf]

Sadly, no. A different problem appears now.

What do you see when you go to http://portquiz.net:1373/ ?

[devashraf]

portquiz.net refused the connection - ERR_CONENCTION_REFUSED.
The same in home and at work.

That means your home and work internet connection or firewall is blocking outbound connections on port 1373. I just tested http://portquiz.net:1373/ myself and it was really slow to load so maybe their server is having issues so it may take a few tries but if you have outbound port 1373 enabled you should eventually see this

Outgoing port tester

This server listens on all TCP ports, allowing you to test any outbound TCP port.

You have reached this page on port 1373 (from http host header).

Your network allows you to use this port. (Assuming that your network is not doing advanced traffic filtering.)

Network service: unknown
Your outgoing IP: 156.208.161.112

Test a port using a command

$ telnet portquiz.net 1373 
Trying ...
Connected to portquiz.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

$ nc -v portquiz.net 1373 
Connection to portquiz.net 1373 port [tcp/daytime] succeeded!

$ curl portquiz.net:1373 
Port test successful!
Your IP: 156.208.161.112

$ wget -qO- portquiz.net:1373 
Port test successful!
Your IP: 156.208.161.112

# For Windows PowerShell users
PS C:\> Test-NetConnection -InformationLevel detailed -ComputerName portquiz.net -Port 1373

Test a port using your browser

In your browser address bar: http://portquiz.net:XXXX

Examples:
http://portquiz.net:8080
http://portquiz.net:8
http://portquiz.net:666

Your browser can block network ports normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. In this case you should use the telnet or netcat commands to test the port.

Please also note that this server uses some port for real services (22, 25), so testing with your browser on those ports will not work.

Rate limiting

05/06/2020 : I had to set up Rate limiting on new connections by IP, otherwise the charge was too high for the small portquiz VM. Sorry for that.
