FTP Error: Could not write to socket: Broken pipe

When tyring to transfer a file it’s showing something like this:

Error: Could not write to socket: Broken pipe
Unable to download file xxxx

First check the config of vsftpd, and restart it.

#/etc/init.d/vsftd restart


Then check the “unable to download file” messages which indicates that ftp server is not able to write/download file.

So check the disk space usage of the server using the command

# df -h

Still not fixed, then check the disk space usage of the particular account in the WHM.

These may fix the issue.
