OpenVMS no inbound ftp

[Don Nutt]

Have you simply tried:

TCPIP> enable service FTP

TCPIP> show service FTP

[Ian Miller.]

Have you tried enabling the ftp server in TCPIP$CONFIG ?

What is in
SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG ?

A> TCPIP SHOW VERSION

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.4 - ECO 5
on a AlphaServer 4100 5/400 4MB running OpenVMS V7.3-2

[Roger Marcinik]

Some questions...

1) are you sure the requesting node has the correct address mapping? Try telnet and make sure you're reaching the right node.


Just did a "Ping" to the address of the node: All was normal. Stats: sent = 4, received = 4, lost = 0.

[Roger Marcinik]

First question, is there a process with a name along the lines of TCPIP$FTP_1 running? If so, can you access it from the local machine? (Use the FTP client to access IP address 127.0.0.1)

That process is NOT running. Here is what is running starting with TCPIP*

FTP and TFTP are different things.

Have you tried to enable/start the FTP
service yet (as repeatedly suggested)?

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I would say it aborted.

reply/ena
ucx ena servi ftp

and check the messages and log files.

Roger,

As a start, please run the TCP/IP configuration procedure (SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM) from a suitably privileged account. Then remove the FTP server and re-configure the FTP service (In TCPIP Services 5.4, the relevant options are labeled as "disable and stop" and "enable and start" respectively.

The TCPIP$FTP_1 process should then be started.
