FTP: Connection refused

[Carlo Henrico_1]

I am trying to FTP from HP-UX to an NT server but get "FTP: Connection refused" Any ideas where I can look please? Other NT machines can FTPto the particular server however I cannot FTP to any of the NT machines.

NT does n o t have a ftp daemon so it is not possible to ftp to a NT Server

you will need a third party ftp daemon for NT to this kind of things

Hi,

You can use 3rd Party Ftp Utility Software in NT and startup the service.

Then specify then create a user at NT that you will use to ftp from Unix to NT.

Hope this helps.

Just as an addition to all answers, something you'll be bitten by is using a logon shell that is by default not supported by ftp.

ftp will check if the shell that is used as a logon shell for the connecting user (from /etc/passwd) is listed in /etc/shells. If /etc/shells is not present, it'll use an internal list.

If you are a user that has for example /usr/local/bin/tcsh or any other non-standard shell, he'll only be able to connect using ftp after the complete path of his/her logon shell is listed in /etc/shells

--8<--- /etc/shells - example
/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/remsh
/usr/bin/rksh
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/shl
/pro/bin/tcsh
/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/
