Re: FTP fails although telnet works

Thanks for all the suggestions. Sidestepping SYLOGIN.COM
with a $EXIT as John suggested, did not solve the problem. Here is the output for Andy's suggestions. Something seems off here but I dont know how to correct it.

Re: FTP fails although telnet works

Apparently, 128.138.131.55 is not the best
choice for a name server. It seems not even
to have a name:

ALP $ nslookup 128.138.131.55
Server: alp-l.antinode.info
Address: 10.0.0.9

*** alp-l.antinode.info can't find 128.138.131.55: Non-existent host/domain

Why did you choose it?

Better candidates:

ALP $ nslookup -type=ns COLORADO.EDU
Server: alp-l.antinode.info
Address: 10.0.0.9

Non-authoritative answer:
colorado.edu nameserver = oldduke.colorado.edu
colorado.edu nameserver = otis.colorado.edu
colorado.edu nameserver = boulder.colorado.edu

Authoritative answers can be found from:
otis.colorado.edu internet address = 128.138.129.76
boulder.colorado.edu internet address = 128.138.240.1
boulder.colorado.edu internet address = 128.138.238.18
oldduke.colorado.edu internet address = 128.138.130.30

Or perhaps these:

ALP $ nslookup -type=ns umd.edu
Server: alp-l.antinode.info
Address: 10.0.0.9

Non-authoritative answer:
umd.edu nameserver = ns2.umd.edu
umd.edu nameserver = noc.umd.edu
umd.edu nameserver = ns1.umd.edu

Authoritative answers can be found from:
noc.umd.edu internet address = 128.8.5.2
ns1.umd.edu internet address = 128.8.74.2
ns2.umd.edu internet address = 128.8.76.2

depending on where you actually are.

But I doubt that that's the FTP server
problem.

At least something.

That seemed to me to be a good place to
start.

Re: FTP fails although telnet works


I found a temporary workaround to FTP going -
$@UCX$FTPD_STARTUP

gets FTP up and running - however it locks out a terminal
and a user. The startup procedure when run using loginout
however does not result in getting FTP going.

Shouldnt the UCX$FTPD_STARTUP start on its own whenever
a client tries to access the server ?

More or less. It seems pretty likely that
you should _not_ be trying to run it
interactively.

Did you ever try that?


Did you ever define the log file for the FTP
service (and its options)?


Do you ever answer any questions, or do you
only ask more?

That is the only way I have been able to
get the FTP going

Yes multiple times

Yes

Ok. What does "UCX SHOW SERVI /FULL FTP"
say now?

Swell. Did you ever get a log file? Was
there anything in it? Or should I know these
things already?

Perhaps we're not counting the same things.
