Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:09:18 +0000

To resolve this in Filezilla go to File -> Site Manager -> Transfer Settings.

Once there ensure the checkbox next to 'Limit number of simultaneous connections' is checked and set the maximum number of connections to 1, then try and reconnect and it should connect correctly.

If you have a different FTP client then the same steps need to be followed but within its respective Site Manager.

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:10:34 +0000

You can download your Filezilla config via Clanforge -> Servers -> FTP (show). This config can then be imported into Filezilla via File -> Import.

It's important you connect via FTP to your service through File -> Sites rather than the quickconnect.

Once connected, you will be able to simply add and delete plugins as you wish.

Minecraft - High CPU usage

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:11:31 +0000

High CPU with Minecraft is normally caused by either a map issue or a broken plugin. To test this you'll need to temporarily run your server on a different map and see if that fixes the usage, if not then it'll be an addon issue. In that case the easiest thing to do is to remove all the addons from your server then add them back in small groups to see when the high CPU starts again.
Please Note: CPU usage is a value taken over time so any changes will need to be left for a while to show improvement.

To temporarily run a new map on your server;

* Go to Clanforge -> Profiles -> Edit -> Configs

* Select your server.propeties file from the File: list

* Change the level-name=world line to level-name=world2 (this needs to be a world you haven't used before)

* Save the profile and restart the server

You can change back to your original world by resetting the level-name= line to what it was orginally. Usually level-name=world

You can add and remove addons from Clanforge -> Profiles -> Addons.
