If you find yourself having trouble connecting to the server to add an account, the following steps should help you. Please remember to only take these steps if you are experienced in server management.
Checking Your Server Address
The most common issue with acccount addition issues from server address lies in the server address itself. It’s important to make sure that the server address is correctly set up with the proper configurations.
To aid in this process, double-check that the server address is entered correctly in the settings menu, as well as making sure that the special characters like colons (:) are used correctly. If these steps fail to resolve the issue, make sure the server’s DNS settings are correct. In the case that none of these options resolve the issue, it likely has to do with the firewall settings.
Firewall Settings & Connection Issues
As previously noted, issues with account addition may ultimately result in firewall settings needing to be changed. To do this, you will need to open the Port 2084 on the server in order to access the network connection. After that is done, you will then be able to add new accounts to your server.
Additionally, make sure that the server you’re trying to connect to supports the incoming connection type. For example, if you’re attempting to connect via FTP, the server must allow for incoming FTP connections.
Connecting to the Server
To connect to the server, simply enter the server address in the connection field. You will then be prompted for your username and password, enter those in the appropriate fields. If you’ve entered the correct credentials, you will then be connected to the server and ready to add accounts.
