FTP issue

[Vijaya Kumar_3]

Hi

I am trying to ftp a file from my Hp-UX system to my another linux system.
My Hp-Ux Configuration:
HP-UX 11.00

My LINUX CONFIGURATION:
Redhat Linux 6.2
FTP wu-2.6.0

I am able to connect to the system but unable to put any files...that means no data transfer to my linux system...but the file is created with 0 byte....

any idea? why? i am planning to remove the FTP and install a new one? what do u thing

Is the redhat server behind a firewall? If so theres two ports you need open 20 and 21.
ftp-data 20/tcp # File Transfer Protocol (Data)
ftp 21/tcp # File Transfer Protocol (Control)

Planning a new isntallation?

Go with something secure. Secure Shell on HP-UX and Openssh on Linux.

http://www.openssh.org

This stops the transmission of passwords in clear text that ftp does.

Hi,

This 0 byte is a normal comportement if you can connect. wu-ftpd creates 0 byte file for the request, even if it's unable to handle it.

A good idea would be to look at your linux box logs to check what happens, are many sources can be found for this.

Apart from that, upgrading would definitely be a good idea...

Hi,

have you tried to run ftp in passive mode?
It prohibits ftp to change ports for transfer.

greetings,

Michael

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hi Vijay,

is your problem solved?

greetings,

Michael

[Vijaya Kumar_3]

I am sorry Michael, i didn't post it.

I am unable to fix my issue with passive mode. So I removed Wu-FTPD and installed PROFTPD. I downloaded the source RPM and did a compile and install it. it is working fine.

Thanks guys
Vijay
