Noor Ahmed_1 — Thu, 01 Sep 2005 01:08:56 GMT

Hi,

I am facing error while ftp from windows client to VAX4000 system running OpenVMS V6.2. I can telnet successfully but ftp gives following error on VAX console

"Internet ACP AUXS error during process exit status=%RMS-F_NOPRIV"

ftp service is enabled in both client and Server component.

the permission of "sylogin.com" are (s:rwed,o:rwed,g:rwed,o:rwed)

any Idea???

Noor,

First:
"the permission of "sylogin.com" are (s:rwed,o:rwed,g:rwed,o:rwed)"

If you mean (s:rwed,o:rwed,g:rwed,w:rwed) this is a great security hole. Anybody can change the sylogin.com to do nasty things! The protection (s:rwed,o:rwed,g:re,w:re) will be sufficient as normal users need only to execute this procedure.

About the ftp error, check also the permissions of the user you use to ftp. Can he write to his login directory? He need to open the log file (It should be UCX$FTP_SERVER.LOG if I remember well).
Try to ftp from your VAX with:
$ FTP LOCALHOST

Noor,

Running UCX?
Please check the file protection on the directory of the UCX$FTP account (should be SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UCX$FTP]). The LOGIN.COM in that directory should be W:RE

If nothing helps, you can start Auditing for
unsuccessfull file accesses, e.g.
$ set audit/audit/enable=access=failure
and check the audit afterwards using ANA/AUDIT...

Noor,
I agree with other fellows.
Trace all files used by ftp by
$ UCX SH SERV FTP /FULL
so you can know what log and login files are used. If you don't see log file, your trouble happens during creation of that.
