Manage multiple FTP connections
This guide helps resolve a potential error 530 by reducing the number of simultaneous FTP connections to Web Hosting.
Resolve error 530
The number of FTP connections that can be established simultaneously 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 once thinking it will speed up the download.
Once you have encountered this error, you need to close the FTP program and wait 30 minutes so that the server terminates 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 Web FTP on the Manager.
