I've been running a Linode droplet for several years with no problems. In the last month, users have reported FTP connection errors, always related to Passive FTP.

Investigation shows that the nf_conntrack_ftp module is no longer loaded. We use this module to allow iptables to properly handle passive ftp connections.

Apparently this module has vanished from the system! modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp yields "FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_ftp not found."

I have rebooted the linode and retried.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you saying it's not running the same kernel as before? Why would it change? – Ryan Griggs Dec 10 '16 at 04:21
Your Linode was migrated from Xen to KVM, maybe? Or Linode decided to change what modules are available in its custom kernel? – Michael Hampton Dec 10 '16 at 04:22
