That kinda looks like some script called 'ftp'.

Could you try:
/usr/bin/ftp 10.10.8.145

Cheers
Wout

Anand,
please try:
/usr/bin/ftp 10.10.8.145

Suspect that you have an alias set up for ftp.

Hi Anand,

I don't understand, what you are trying to do.

# /usr/lbin --> is a directory

$ftp --> is a variable (a script you wrote, maybe)

the ip (guess it's the right one)

In your script ($ftp) seems to be sone errors.

Can you post the contens of $ftp??

Anand,
please post results of:
which ftp
file `which ftp`
ll `which ftp`

I assume your data before the $ is your current directory i.e. part of your prompt.

file `which ftp`
/bin/ftp: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked

Your ftp has been replaced by a text file. Save the text file for later examination and copy the ftp binary from another machine.

Anand,
ftp should be a executable not ascii file !!
Please move the file and replace with file from backup or file from same OS version machine.

Also investigate how/who changed the file.

Anand,
that just leaves the task of assigning points and finding out how the problem was caused in the first place.

Study the faulty ftp script, perhpas that will give you a clue asto who wrote it and/or whta the purpose of the script was.
