Manage multiple FTP connections
This guide helps to resolve a potential 530 error by reducing the number of simultaneous FTP connections to Web Hostings.
Resolve a 530 error
The number of simultaneous FTP connections that can be established to the FTP space of a hosting is limited to 25.
The error message 530 Sorry, the maximum number of clients (25) for this user are already connected generally appears following multiple and simultaneous connections with an FTP software/client that poorly manages disconnections or attempts to open multiple connections at the same time in an attempt to speed up the download.
Once you have received this error, you need to close the FTP program then wait 30 minutes so that the server disconnects the 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 menu Edit -> Settings then under the Transfers tab and set the number of simultaneous transfers to 2.
It is recommended to use the FTP Manager file manager.
