How to restart FTP server?

To restart ftp server on linux servers run /usr/sbin/proftpd on command prompt.

[root@ds194-213 root]# /usr/sbin/proftpd

You can test this by following :
1. [root@ds194-213 root]# telnet 66.235.201.113 21
IF ftp server is running, you will get following kind of o/p
Trying 66.235.201.113...
Connected to 66.235.201.113.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (ProFTPD) [keaadvertising.com]

2. You can create any user(test/test) and try using any FTP client to connect and upload files.
