When I try to upload files, download files, and sometimes even connect to the ftp server, I get the following error: “421 I can’t accept more than 5 connections as the same user”
Hi @wings!
As the error states, this usually means you attempted to connect to FTP more times than allowed at once. This depends on FTP client and how it handles the connections.
Please try again later. If the problem persists please go to 000webhost cPanel > Settings > General > FTP > Off > 1 min waiting > On again and retry.
Are you using FileZilla?

Yes, I’m using filezilla. That probably solves it. If the error doesn’t happen again, I’ll mark the ticket as solved.
But for now, it is quite impossible to tell, because I’m having a different problem:
If this is solved I’ll know if the problem of the concurrent users was solved.
Try edit and network configuration…
Still not working.
The network configuration wizard test ended like this:
Failed to create listen socket on port 0, aborting.
Connection closed
I did this, selected “Get ip from external address”, as you mentioned in other topic.
For FileZilla to work correctly you need to keep running the wizard until everything checks out fine.

Disable your firewall and antivirus protection shields on your PC, run the test, if it succeeds, find out how to allow FileZilla as exception on your software.
If that doesn’t work try your router settings, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 etc, login, disable firewall, run test and try again.
If that doesn’t work contact https://www.algartelecom.com.br/ and ask them to provide instructions to disable firewall and allow FTP to work without issue.
