  • You will then see a list of all your current FTP connections. Click the red X in the Disconnect column.
  • You will then see a message similar to this "Are you sure you want to disconnect testuser@example.com FTP user?." Click the Disconnect button to proceed.
  • You are finished when you see a message like this:"The FTP session with PID 27510 was terminated."
