Re: FTP 421 error
There was a problem that has been resolved, but yes, you can run into the same issue from time to time because there are a lot more than 50 hosting accounts per server, and every once in a while more than 50 people will want to work on their sites at around the same time. Usually trying again in a few minutes will let you get through. (Increasing the number of simultaneous FTP sessions will affect the server performance in other areas, so it's a compromise. It usually works, but can't always.)
