FTP server servicing 2 ports

AlexB — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 07:29:40 GMT

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to configure two FTP ports on a OpenVMS server so that you can dedicate a specific port to 2 permanently connected servers.

server A------------> port 21: server x
server B------------> port 2121: server x

We're running OpenVMS 7.3.2.

Thanks,
Alex

I am not quite sure, what you are going to achieve.
2 Servers can connect to your system on the same port and use e.g. different usernames to differentiate the files.

You should be able to duplicate the FTP service under a new name using a new port number.

We are using Hunter Goatley HGFTP server e.g. under port 10001 to setup different anonymous users with access to different sets of directories with specific loginfiles to further process the incommig data.

Note that server B will have to spcify the port number in the ftp command.

Thanks guys.

I don't want to go over why one would like to have this although I guess the specific directory access for anonymous users would be a good example.

Thanks for the help.
