FTP fails although telnet works
I have recently become "system manager" on an old VAX
Alpha and have been trying to set up FTP on it. The machine
already had FTP setup but in its new location (on a new network) has stopped working. Telnet works and FTP fails with
SAMPEX$ ftp localhost
421 Service not available, Remote server has closed the connection
From reading previous posts in this forum I have tried to fiddle around but to no avail. If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated. (I am appending some details from
UCX)
Thanks

Re: FTP fails although telnet works
$ UCX SHOW HOST
$ UCX SHOW CONFIG INTERFACE
Does the the address assigned to the network interface have a listed host name? Since you say "new network" Was the address properly changed and host entry created? Properly changed means with either sys$manager:ucx$config.com or appropraite UCX commands, you should not edit UCX configuration files manually.
Correct with:
$ @sys$manager:ucx$config
Please try to connect to yourself with both
$ ftp a.b.c.d ! your address here
$ ftp 0

Re: FTP fails although telnet works

The FTP service seems to be available, but
having trouble. If were completely dead,
then I'd expect something more like this:
alp $ ftp localhost
%TCPIP-E-FTP_NETERR, I/O error on network device
-SYSTEM-F-REJECT, connect to network object rejected
You might look at the FTP server log file.
Nowadays it's:
SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG
I'd guess that if you change "TCPIP" to "UCX"
everywhere, then you might find yours.
> Log Opts: None
> File: not defined
Well, you might need to define the log file
first. I see nothing in TCPIP HELP, but the
config procedure suggests something like:
$TCPIP set serv ftp -
/log=(file:sys$sysdevice:[TCPIP$ftp]TCPIP$ftp_run.log, all)
Again, "TCPIP" -> "UCX" for an old version.
> $ @sys$manager:ucx$config
Going through that whole thing again might be
the easy way.

Re: FTP fails although telnet works
Simplest test is to change the first line to:
$ EXIT
and retry your FTP connecting.

Re: FTP fails although telnet works
Welcome to the ITRC forum.
>> Telnet works and FTP fails
You need to check whether the FTP server is enabled.
Also need to check if SYLOGIN.COM file to check if it encountered any error
as it could lead to FTP getting disabled.
The following link talks more about this -

Hope this helps.

Re: FTP fails although telnet works
Can you try restarting the FTP service on your machine? There was a discussion on similar topic in the below thread.

You mean like this?:

I think that that's been done already.
