Deepak,

How are the boxes connected to the network?
Are the NICs and switch ports configured for
the correct speed and duplex setting?
If anything is set to auto-negotiate, set it
to the desired setting i.e. DO NOT use any
auto-negotiating.
I have found that when things are auto-negotiating
that all seems OK until you try to do something
like a file copy across the network or anything
else that puts a load on the connection.
Are you seeing any other network problems?
This is just a guess.

Also, any info on VMS Version, HW type, patch level for TCPIP and the general network topology wouldn't hurt...

q

Also have a poke around sys$sysdevice:[tcpip$ftp] log files, and see if there is anything relevant...

Dave,

yes box's are connected to network.
$ MCR LANCP SHOW DEVICE/CHARACTERISTICS

Device Characteristics EIA0:
Value Characteristic
----- --------------
1500 Device buffer size
Normal Controller mode
External Internal loopback mode
00-06-2B-03-48-99 Hardware LAN address
Multicast address list
CSMA/CD Communication medium
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF Current LAN address
128 Minimum receive buffers
256 Maximum receive buffers
Yes Full duplex enable
Yes Full duplex operational
TwistedPair Line media type
100 Line speed (mbps)
Disabled/No Failset Logical LAN state
0 Failover priority

other than this how to see NICs and switch ports configured.

sys$sysdevice:[tcpip$ftp]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG file has only one line ftp server started.

Thanks
Deepak

Why are you doing FTP transfers between nodes
in a cluster?

Deepak,

a previous thread describing similar symptoms is:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=686247

That problem has been diagnosed to network switch port parameter settings and negotiation differences.
