ftp PASV Not Supported

[Shane Russell]

I am trying to configure my HP-UX B.11.00 to allow passive ftp from 10.73.52.8 but I am getting the following error:-

2006.08.04 14:25:51.257] TYPE A

Any ideas?

Shalom,

swlist -l product | grep ftpd

I don't think the wu-ftpd server supports this. You might wish to get the latest update.

Internet Express has proftpd which may have the feature you desire.

Shane,
Can you please expand on your requirement.
As once in HPUX ftp:
help
shows 'passive'

What s/w are you using ?

[Shane Russell]

Once I ftp to the server and run "help" I do NOT see the passive option ... does that mean that my ftp version does NOT support passive ftp.

So what do I need to do?

ftp> help
Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:

! debug mget put size
$ dir mkdir pwd status
account disconnect mls quit struct
append form mode quote system
ascii get modtime recv sunique
bell glob mput reget tenex
binary hash newer rstatus trace
bye help nmap rhelp type
case idle nlist rename user
cd image ntrans reset umask
cdup lcd open restart verbose
chmod ls prompt rmdir ?
close macdef proxy runique
cr mdelete sendport send
delete mdir passive site
ftp>

regards,
Shane

OOPS ... im blind ... passive is there ... however, it is still not working

Just for grins, using the ftp client on your HP-UX 11.0 (BTW, you do know that 11.0 is obsolete right?) system connect to the ftp server and try the ftp client command passive.

The ftp/ftpd on 11.0 LR are the old BSD-ish ones, not the wu-ftpd versions. I _think_ there were patches (perhaps the ones you have) to switch to the wu-ftp versions. Regardless, making sure you are on the very latest 11.0 patches (which may not be all that new) would be goodness.

Try updating to wu-ftp for 11.0
