    PLESK_ERROR: pmm-ras failed (Error code = 1):
    STDOUT: Curl error: Unable to resume an interrupted download: (28) Timeout was reached: Last FTP request: PASS *****: Last FTP response: 421 I can't accept more than 3 connections as the same user: Connection to the FTP server has lost

    [error][module]pmmcli[/module][operation]<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>[/operation][message]cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects at File "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pmmcli", line 6, in <module>

Cause

This is a Plesk bug with the ID #PPPM-8749, which will be fixed in the next Plesk update releases.

Resolution

Until the bug will be fixed, apply the following workaround:

  1. Log into Plesk.
  2. Go to Extensions > My Extensions > Panel.ini Editor > Open > Editor.

    Note: in case the Panel.ini Editor extension is missing, install it using this article.

  3. Add the line below under the [pmm] section:

    CONFIG_TEXT: ftpForbidReuseConnection = 1

  4. Scroll down and press the Save button.
Solution using the SSH access

  1. Log into the server via SSH.

  2. Execute the command below to open /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini in the vi text editor: 

    # plesk conf panel.ini

  3. Add the line below under the [pmm] section:

    CONFIG_TEXT: ftpForbidReuseConnection = 1

  4. Save the changes.

    Add the line below under the [pmm] section:
    ftpForbidReuseConnection = 1

    Add the following line in the <Global> section of the /etc/proftpd.conf file:
    AllowStoreRestart on

    But the error occurs periodically:
    Unable to create remote backup. Error: Unable to export backup: Transport error: unable to list directory: Curl error: (28) Timeout was reached: Last FTP request: PASS ***** Last FTP response: 331 Password required for ftp_login

    What and where is wrong in the settings?

    After Timeout 30s
    INFO: pmm-ras finished. Exit code: 126

    INFO: pmm-ras finished. Exit code: 0
