Not able to ftp to hp-ux 11.31

[NDO]

Hi All

I am trying to ftp from any non-hp-ux system to a hp-ux 11.31, but failing, on the other hand I can ftp to a 11.23 server.

my /etc/inetd.conf file has the following:

ftp          stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd     ftpd -l
telnet       stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd  telnetd

 my /etc/services has:

ftp           21/tcp                 # File Transfer Protocol (Control)

if I do netstat -an | grep 21 I got the following:

#netstat -an | grep 21

I saw in google that I need wu-ftpd,  but I have it installed:

swlist -l bundle | grep -i ftp
  HPUX-FTPServer        C.2.6.1.7.0    HPUX FTP Server

Can you help?

Hi FR,

From my documentation,

..

..

A.) Check the daemon process existence by 'ps -ef | grep ftpd'.

# ps -ef | grep ftpd
    root  1964  1734  0 02:00:45 pts/tb    0:00 /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l
    root  1977  1734  0 02:07:15 pts/tb    0:00 grep ftpd
#

Run 'inetd -c' command if daemon is not listed.

B.) If the daemon process is not listed even after (A.), run the command found in /etc/inetd.conf file (manually).
    You should have Superuser (root) permission to do that.

# /usr/lbin/ftpd     ftpd -l &
[2] 1978

Hi

Thank you for your response, here the commands that I runned but no luck:

#ps -ef | grep ftpd
    root 25317  1161  0 08:44:55 ?         0:00 ftpd: 10.100.4.71: bscsprod: IDLE

    root 21881 23364  0 13:27:02 pts/0     0:00 grep ftpd


inetd -c

#ps -ef | grep ftpd

    root 21920 23364  0 13:28:01 pts/0     0:00 grep ftpd

/usr/lbin/ftpd     ftpd -l &

 perhaps ... but I am not sure that I should get that o/p from the ps -ef command

this is a command run from a solaris 10 server to a 11.23 server

 ftp 10.1.20.23
Connected to 10.1.20.23.

 and this is another command from the same solaris 10 server to a 11.31 server:

 ftp 10.1.20.30
ftp: connect: Connection timed out

BTW, Steven, you dont need to be rude, if did not like the post, just ignore instead of ..... perhaps because I am not an english native speaking person, I did not express myself correct, my apologies

[akio_kabutogi]

If you don't see SYN_RCVD entry for port 21 in netstat -an after you hit ftp command from other machine

before getting "Connection Timed out" error, then, the root cause of the problem is either of external firewall or

IPFilter configuration. If the connection request reaches the system's TCP layer from the ftp client, then,

there must be SYN_RCVD for the connection request in netstat -an. If not, that means the connection request

(SYN packet) does not reach the TCP layer.

To check if there's any IPFilter configuration, try :

# ipfstat -io

Hi

I see the following when I do ftp from a solaris 10 server (192.168.0.81), and do a netstat -an | grep 21 on my hp-ux server:

tcp        0      1  10.1.20.30.21          192.168.0.81.34928      SYN_RCVD
tcp        0      0  10.1.20.30.21          10.100.48.75.32804      TIME_WAIT

 to my hp-ux server which is 10.1.20.30

And I spoke with the network guys and they told me that could be tha a firewall is on the middle, they are investigating.
