ftp problem

[Radhakrishnan Venkatara]

hi all,

i am facing different problem we installed rp box and made it online yesterday.
in this we are facing problem in ftp.
i can transfer files from windows and from unix without any problems.
we a software on dos it is known as ilinknet.
when i am doing ftp for small files it is giving connection reset by peer.
when large files are getting transferred it is not getting transferred fully.
this problem is there only from this dos based client.
But can do ftp for other hp servers without any problems from the same client.

please throw some light on it

Hi Radhakrishnan,

Did you check the speed on the new rp box?. Make sure it is 100Full AUTO-OFF if your switch supports it. Or check the network connectivity between the rp and your windows client.

I can think of no other reason if the ftp is working from the same client to the other servers.

Can you ftp from the DOS prompt? ie not using the DOS ilinknet ftp client, just from the command line.

If this works then it sounds like a problem with the configuration of ilinknet.

Can you ftp from a different pc?

Regards,

Dave.

hi,
try chaging the default shell for that user to
ksh or csh and try again.

hi,
our network is 10mbps i couldn't change the parameters of that.
i can do ftp from windows clients without any problems.
the problem is only from ilinknet ftp.
this works with other servers without any problems but only with rp box it is giving problem . i checked this from different m/c also.
the same problem is there.

hi,
do the same ftp again
paste the output of this command from the HP-
UX server
#tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi Radhakrishna,

Add -v and -L flags at the end to your ftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf, restart inetd (inetd -c) and then tail your syslog.log while ftp is going on.

You can also play with the data buffer size (-B option). I wouldn't worry about it much as the other servers are working by default.

hi,
just search for files like net.ini or ftp.ini
or net.cfg or ftp.cfg files in one of that DOS
client. Try setting the ftp timeout value to
a higher value and try again.

I had a similar problem w/ ftp a few days ago and it turned out to be a duplex mismatch. Double check the LAN card settings:
lanscan
10/12/6 0x080009D406DD 0 UP lan0 UP 5 ETHER Yes 52

lanadmin -x 5
Current Speed = 100 Full-Duplex Auto-Negotiation-OFF

If the duplex settings doesn't match what the switch is set at (check w/ your network admin.)change it:

lanadmin -X 5 100FD

note: settings can be 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, 100FD, AUTO_ON
