rc2574, ftp return code = 27150, error code = 00010.

You must be the Mainframe guy. man ftpd refers to the manual page for ftpd which is stored on most UNIX boxes by default. You can usually type:

man ftpd

and the page should appear. q to quit. Enter to see the next page.

Here is a link to a web version in case your system doesn't have man installed.

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90129/B2355-90129.html

ftpd is called by inetd which is controlled by its config file: /etc/inetd.conf

Look for the line which starts:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd

and add any options that seem appropriate such as -l -v -B 64 -t 60000

Once you make a change to the config file you can force inetd to reread it with inetd -c

This is the hp-ux way of doing it. Other systems may vary. I assume your FTP server is HP-UX? What version? Does it have all of the patches?

netstat is pretty much a universal command.
netstat -s will show you IP and TCP stats and errors. FTP uses TCP/IP as a transport and with a big heavy transfer like you are doing most of the TCP/IP traffic will be FTP so if you look at netstat -s before and after a transfer it's possible to see if there are any errors building up. You can do netstat -s >junk then run your transfer then do netstat -s >junk2 then diff junk junk2 to see what changed. You have to reboot the beast to reset to 0.

One quick way of testing the idea that packets are arriving too quickly is to force the switch and the NIC down to 10HD (10 Meg half duplex) on one end of the transfer. This will throttle down the transfer rate quite a bit. And maybe give the system a chance to keep up with the input. On second thought I just read your other responses and I see you are going through routers and firewalls so you are probably already hitting a smaller bottleneck and this wouldn't have any effect.

HI

I've done some research on possible return codes on FTP , the RFC describing this is rfc 630 and 640 , for most complete information look at these websites :

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/rfc/rfc0630.txt
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc640.html


this is what I can give you as data resulting from the RFC , unfortunately the reply code 00010 isn't in there at all , can you specify where exactly you get the error and what OS the machine is running , LINUX , HP-UX what version ? etc , also do you see the error on the screen , in syslog etc ... , is the transfer really failing or do you just get the mssg at the end of the transmission ?

Reply Codes from FTP Server :

502 Command not implemented.
503 Bad sequence of commands.
504 Command not implemented for that parameter.
530 Not logged in.
532 Need account for storing files.

Found this on google by searching groups for "ftp return code = 27150":

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en|lang_de&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&threadm=sb98b24c.045%40htismtp.harristeeter.com&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522ftp%2Breturn%2Bcode%2B%253D%2B27150%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%257Clang_de%26ie%3DUTF8%26oe%3DUTF8%26selm%3Dsb98b24c.045%2540htismtp.harristeeter.com%26rnum%3D2%26filter%3D0

You might talk to Peter Woude who was getting the same message last September:

pwoude@HARRISTEETER.COM He seemed to think it had soemthing to do with an FTP upgrade on the main frame.

Also:

Where steve.laba@bms.com reported the same error code back in July.

Do any of you have a tcpip.sys file dated 2/16/2000 or later? I would like to get it for my Windows NT 4.0

Thanks for all the input and help guys.

Thanks.

Go to my geocities website:

Towards the bottom of the page you will see TCP/IP Fix

Download it. It's a zip file with password mssux (built with CAM UNZIP if you have problems with it). Extract it to a folder on the NT and doubleclick on hotfix.exe and it will automatically install tcpip.sys. It will want to reboot when done. Unreleased but works fine with SP6a. This is the latest one that you have to beg for. Fixes the stuck in Last Ack problem.
