If you are experiencing some trouble with pure-ftp where your FTP client is giving you a 425 Sorry, invalid address given it might help to add the following parameter to your pure-ftp startup --dontresolve.

You can also add this option in the /etc/pure-ftpd configuration.

An added bonus of this is that logins will actually be quicker since pure-ftp won’t try to resolve the clients DNS name.
