How to reset hung FTP session?

[Terry Wilson]

<div class="bbWrapper">We have an inbound FTP connection that is hung and need to reset it or kill it. Obviously we can reset the entire Freenas box and accomplish this but we don't want to kill all the other incoming FTP client connections. I can see using FTPTOP the hung username and file they are trying to upload but its not progressing. We had them reboot on their end and its making an difference on our freenas box.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">yeah, not sure it is a good way to do this, but I found the process (PID) using FTPTOP and then did a pkill -P and then the process id so i.e. pkill -P 123456</div>
