check the .netrc file for your user on each host and see if there is anything there.

Hi,

have a look at /etc/inetd.conf
Perhaps the -p flag is there.

greetings,

Michael

Hi,

Are you using a script. If so check your script. Also are the two systems hostA and hostB of the same type. Or are they different, say hp and sun or aix. It is possible that the ftp daemons support a switch -p on hostA but not on hostB.

Hope this helps.
