[Dennis Handly]

From the error messages, is "ftp" in in /etc/passwd?

[boomer_2]

Can you try ftp with command line, try to login your server and then submit your entire session log please

Best Regards
Murat

With respect to your above conversation,which concluded that you are able to ligin with that user but your ftp of 165 MB is still going which not throwing any error.

1]whether ur able to do it successfully??
2]whether ur problem is resolved ??

Please clarify your query ??

Hi Yogesh,
Actually i m able to do it from my PC but when colleagues other than me r trying THEY dnt get any error..THE SESSION simply hangs ...

hence cant even give u the error....

[boomer_2]

Hi yogesh,
when i tried for a user myself from his PC i got this error in my syslog

Jan 4 14:57:18 ge-dr ftpd[13114]: lost connection to 10.1.4.xx [10.1.4.xx]

[boomer_2]

Hi guys,
I tried from a user from his PC ,after which i got this message at the ftp prompt ;

Netout :connection reset by peer

"Jan 4 11:17:09 cedge-dr ftpd[7216]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (ftp not in /etc/passwd) FROM 10.1.4.155 [10.1.4.155], anonymous"

man ftpd. you don't have anonymous login configured (hence the earlier question about the password file).

[boomer_2]

Hi Oldschool,
I am not getting what ur saying ???????
Earlier it was working fine until there was a power fluctuation at our end ,as a cause of which our primary site was down from where i am trying to ftp to DR site where the server is
situated...

also ftp works from internet explorer,as well as scp works too..but i have some scripts which use ftp so m facing PROBLEM...

[Steven Schweda]

Default configuration (B.11.11):

dy # grep ftp /etc/passwd
tftp:*:510:1:Trivial FTP user:/usr/tftpdir:false

After using SAM (Networking and
Communications -> Network Services ->
Anonymous FTP) to enable anonymous FTP:

dy # grep ftp /etc/passwd
tftp:*:510:1:Trivial FTP user:/usr/tftpdir:false
ftp:*:500:1:Anonymous FTP user:/home/ftp:/usr/bin/false

So:

> No its not in /etc/passwd ...............

sounds bad. Especially when combined with
that original "(ftp not in /etc/passwd)"
complaint.

[boomer_2]

Hi Steven,
My server shows ,


root #/var/adm >grep ftp /etc/passwd

ftpuplds:VWWfsiHrg57mU:125:110:FTP Upload,,,:/home/ftpuplds:/usr/bin/sh
testftp:IPa.IELEykwdM,zyMS:114:111:,,,:/home/testftp/./spool:/usr/bin/ftpshell

tgcbftp:NjugP8odq8fGc:195:117:,,,:/home/tgcbftp:/usr/bin/sh


So now what should i do ????
hpux 11i v2,8gb RAM

nothing in /var/adm/inetd.sec
error occured are as follows :->

> So now what should i do ????

It depends on what you wish to do. I've
already explained what I did in SAM to enable
anonymous FTP, which added the "ftp" account
to my /etc/passwd. No doubt, it could be
added in other ways, too.

[OldSchool]

ok, you really need to define clearly what issue(s) you are facing.

very first post showed that anonymous ftp wasn't working...(Steve S gave you details about how to set that up btw)

then you started talking about other people's desktops not working, IE doing something, your login working, large file transfers working / not working.

Define them and concentrate on resolving one at a time.

[boomer_2]

Ok guys,
Let me explain ur problem nw..

I have 2 sites..A and B

when i ftp thru command prompt from site A to site B i get this errors like,
Netout:conection reset by peer
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
426 Data Connection: Interrupted system call.

Even ftp thru edit plus not wrkng the session just hangs....
whereas when i use ftp thru internet explorer it works abs fine...

now i hope my problem is pretty clear...to u guys...

[OldSchool]

"I have 2 sites..A and B"

Ok, and these are both HPUX boxes or what?

"when i ftp thru command prompt from site A to site B i get this errors like,
Netout:conection reset by peer
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
426 Data Connection: Interrupted system call."

Command prompt on Server A....again is this Windows, or HPUX?

What ftp commands are you running? who are you attempting to login as?

Did this ever work? If yes, has anything changed in the network (like IPs or subnets)?

Or is this an attempt to make start an "anonymous" ftp session?

"Even ftp thru edit plus not wrkng the session just hangs...."

OK, yet another "new" problem...and not necessarily related...lets come back to this one.

"whereas when i use ftp thru internet explorer it works abs fine..."

So your windows machine justs connects or do you need to supply "login as" information?
What happens if you open a windows command processor window on this box and attempt to ftp?
What ftp command(s) did you run?
Does it succeed?

[boomer_2]

Hi Oldschool,
I have logged a call with HP in reagrds with this issue.

Thanx for all of ur efforts ,but i will keep u guys updated on this issue.
