If you are trying to connect to an FTP server and you see an error message saying "Maximum number of clients exceeded," it means that the FTP server has reached its maximum number of allowed connections.
This error can occur if the FTP server is configured to allow a limited number of connections and all the available connections are currently in use.
To fix this issue, you can try the following:
Check the maximum number of allowed connections: First, check the FTP server's configuration to see how many connections it is set to allow. You may be able to increase the number of allowed connections by adjusting the server's configuration.
Wait for a connection to become available: If the server is already allowing the maximum number of connections, you will need to wait for a connection to become available before you can connect. You can try again later or try connecting from a different machine.
Check for inactive connections: If there are many inactive connections, you may be able to free up a connection by disconnecting any inactive clients.
Restart the FTP server: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to restart the FTP server. This will close all the existing connections and allow new connections to be established.
