Strange ftp problems

Hi all,

we are getting some strange ftp errors.

The Error is:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
500 'ST': command not understood.
ftp>

Any Ideas?

Greetings HM

I think 200 PORT meas you opened a port to a remote host. I think 500 ST indicates there is something wrong with your attempt to store (put) a file. Try turning on debug (type debug at the ftp prompt) see if it provides more detail.

Also, what command(s) are you trying to execute?

Hi,

I want to execute "ls".

But on two server there are these strange errors.
The error is only on ftp, everything else is ok.

You are ftp'ing to where from where? --> What ftp are you using and where are you going??

It appears the HOST you FTP'd TO, does NOT understand the command "ls"

H. Mund,

Try "dir" instead to see if you get the directory listing.
