If you’re using Filezilla to connect to a shared hosting account that uses cPanel, and your internet connection gets dropped during a transfer, you’re going to get an error from Filezilla when you try to reconnect after getting your internet up again.
Here’s how to clear that error:
-
Login to your shared hosting account.
-
In cPanel, go to “FTP Session Manager”
-
You should see a long list of “IDLE” connections. Delete each of them, one by one, using the “X” button beside each entry.
-
Logout of cPanel when all the ftp sessions have been deleted.
…and that’s it! You should be able to connect normally to your account through ftp again.
