SOLVED! Error 421 Too Many Users - please try again later

Post by sgatke »

Hi all

We have purchased Wing FTP Server for a client.
Besides the folders secured by username and password, they wish for a specific folder (called 'Public') where an anonymous user can log in and download files.
We have a user called 'anonymous', but when we try to log in using that account, we get the error message "421Too Many Users - please try again later."
There are NO other users logged onto the server when we try this.
We can log on with other user accounts, both local and from LDAP, but somehow the anonymous account is jinxed.

The user 'anonymous' is enabled, there is no password for the user, the user has HRL rights for the folder c:\ftp\public
Limits for the account is set to 0, except for idle connection timeout which is set to 5.

Any ideas why we can't connect with this user?

SOLVED!

I deleted our anonymous user from the user manager and created a new one with the same settings.
with the new anonymous user, I am able to log in. Don't know what happened with the original one, but it works now.
