While trying to restart FTP via WHm we are getting the error :
=========
pure-authd (/usr/sbin/pure-authd -s /var/run/ftpd.sock -r /usr/sbin/pureauth) running as root with PID
=========
Login to WHM >> Manage Service SSL Certificates >>
Reset the FTP ssl certificate.
Try restarting FTP.. it should work
make sure to run [/scripts/upcp --force] after that
If that dont work then go ahead and do :
cd /var/lib/rpm/
[ rm -f __db.* ]
[ rpm -vv --rebuilddb ]

Getting the following error while connecting FTP using Filezilla
Error: Connection timed out Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
But I can connect FTP from command prompt without any issues.
SOLUTION
Check if firewall is present. If its disabled enable that and it worked fine for me.
Open Passive ports if not already opened.
