Re: Enable FTP on HP unix server
as a start:
Un-comment any ftp lines in /etc/services
Check you have an entry for ftp in /etc/inetd.conf.
Restart the inetd with inetd -c
Then please report back any problem.

Re: Enable FTP on HP unix server
Did you turn on the "Trusted System"?
If you did, you can unconvert the system by sam -> "Auditing and Security" -> "Audited Users" -> "Action" -> "Unconvert the system"
Or you can move on to use the ssh.

Re: Enable FTP on HP unix server
1. check /etc/inetd.conf file. check if the ftp entry is uncommented.
2. check if the port 21 is established on your server.
3. after doing this do /sbin/init/ftp stop
/sbin/init/ftp start

Re: Enable FTP on HP unix server
Please check your /etc/services file and /etc/inetd.conf file
search for ftp and uncomment it in case of being commented.
Hope this helps

Re: Enable FTP on HP unix server
Also make sure the user is not defined in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers
Btw - which OS are you running?

SolutionFor enabling FTP & its use. Please refer following points:
1> /etc/services --> The
2> /etc/inetd.conf -->The Internet daemon accesses the configuration data it needs by reading the file /etc/inetd.conf.
Please read following document for how to add entries in this file.
http://docs.hp.com/en/32650-90897/ch02s02.html
3>/var/adm/inetd.sec --> disallow & allow users network services
The /var/adm/inetd.sec file is a security file that inetd reads to determine which remote hosts are allowed access to the services on your host. The inetd.sec file is optional; you do not need it to run the Internet Services.check thif file alos.
You can use either a text editor or SAM to edit the inetd.sec file
This are essential files. now for ftp configuration.you need following files.
There are five files used to hold FTP configuration information.
Check following files:
1./etc/ftpd/ftpaccess --> configuration file is the primary configuration file for defining how the ftpd daemon operates. It is not necessary to enable the ftpacess file inorder to run ftpd. The configuration files allow you to configure FTP features, such as the number of FTP login tries permitted, FTP banner displays, logging of incoming and outgoing file transfers, access permissions, use of regular expressions, etc.
2. /etc/ftpd/ftpconversions -->Defines options for compression/decompression and tar/untar operations
3./etc/ftpd/ftphosts -->Lets you allow/deny FTP account access according to source IP addresses and host names.
4./etc/ftpd/ftpusers --> Restricts FTP access for specified users. This file shows entries which dont have access for ftp.
deny ftp access to selected users.
5./etc/ftpd/ftpgroups -->The group password file for use with the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands
Also check for :
2./etc/passwd --> anonymous ftp access
3.~/.netrc -->login information for ftp.The .netrc file contains login and initialization information used by the ftp autologin process .ftp autologin
allows users to ftp to other hosts.
Thanks & Regards
