I just got a dedicated server and added a domain and connected to the server with FTP. Everything worked flawlessly. I noticed memory usage was maxed out (1GB) and thought it was odd so I restarted the server just so I was working from a clean slate. Memory issue seemed to have resolved, but FTP connections are rejected. After looking around I decided doing a "ftp localhost" in terminal would be a good way of finding out what's up. The response was
"Connected to localhost.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
"
It looks like xinetd does the FTP.
I stopped xinetd and then did "xinet -d" for debugging. After a bit of seemingly fine output I receive
"07/3/20@17:50:46: ERROR: 5787 {activate_normal} bind failed (Permission denied (errno = 13)). service = ftp
07/3/20@17:50:46: ERROR: 5787 {cnf_start_services} Service ftp failed to start and is deactivated.

I don't know how to interpret it. Hopefully someone can inform me as to what's going on.
Excuse my lack of linux knowledge. I'm working on it!
Since my dedicated server is unmanaged I figured asking the support guys would cost me something.
