enable ftp FXP on HP-UX ftpd ?

[Sergej_5]

Hi guru's!
I am interesting if there is a way to enable FTP fxp feature on HP-UX 11.23 or maybe on HP-UX 11.11 ?
How can i do that? Or if u got any other solution to enable fxp just spit it out :)

Brgds,
Sergej

Hi Sergej,

I am not sure wsftpd supports FXP feature yet.
I think it is a client side implementation.?? Not sure though..

FXP stands for File eXchange Protocol and it let's you copy files from one FTP-server to another using a FXP-client.

yep. You can use gftp instead of standard ftp for fxp (fast file trasnfer).

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gtk/Misc/gftp-2.0.7pre3/

download and use it.

Hi!
Thanks for info ... i know that :)

[Muthukumar_5]

I was meaning to say that use gftp client for normal ftp client. gftp is great. See this:

GFTP is a free multithreaded ftp client for *NIX based machines
running X11R6 or later. It does support the FTP, HTTP and SSH protocol, fxp
file transfers (transfering files between 2 remote servers via ftp), caching of
remote directory listings and lot of others.

Download HP-UX version and use it.

Hello,

gftp is a client and it does support fxp file transfers. But the question is about enable FXP in HP-UX FTPD which is wsftpd.

Hi,
If we are looking at how to transfer files across ftp servers, we have "proxy" command available in ftp (HP-UX) for this. For this, connect to the main server in the normal way and then do a "proxy open " to connect to the next server. From now onwards, whenever a command is given with "proxy" prefix data transfer will happen between the two servers. for eg: "proxy get main.c" will copy the file main.c from first server to the second.

Hope this is useful.

regs,
dipu.
