You may need to restart SSH on Cpanel server with default settings to get SSH access. This may needed when you work on a server with unknown SSH port or when SSH service on the server is failed/limited for some reason.
To fix SSH, login to WHM, then access following URL
/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart
URL will look like
https://HOST:2087/cpsess1142682886/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart
To enable Passive FTP in Cpanel Server running CSF firewall, check the passive ports used in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
[root@server22 ~]# grep PassivePortRange /etc/pure-ftpd.conf PassivePortRange 49152 65534 [root@server22 ~]#

Edit csf.conf
vi /etc/csf/csf.conf
Find line start with
TCP_IN =
Add ports ,49152:65534.
