426 Data connection: Connection reset by peer

[TS KARTHIKEYAN]

Hello Helpers,

In my java application, after taking backup of files and put those files into a tar file. after that i need to do ftp that tar file.

During FTP, i receive this error msg like "426 Data connection: Connection reset by peer"

but if i try this ftp transfer of this file with separate java program, its working fine. transfer completed successfully.

please let me know how to resolve this issue.

error 426 means that your program thinks it got a TCP RST from the remote end. It could also be a firewall issue, but I doubt it.

Reply with your ftp log, so we can help you better.

Try sending
passive
as your first ftp command

(here is a tutorial on passive FTP):

If you still don't get anywhere, repost your query to the HPUX Sysadmin area of this forum.
