FTP problem

[Ingo Duschl]

hello, we have k380box with UX11.11 on it i transfer via ftp an export of database on another k260box. this transfer failed because of temp. network failure. now the machine do not connect to the other. i can do ftp from any and to any other maschine but not these to special machines. i can`t reboot(productionmachine) how can i reconize and stop the possible failed ftp job running to get a ftp connection again.

Hi,

Try to locate the processid

$ ps -ef | grep ftp

look if you can find a process connected to the other Unix box

root 486 400 15 14:21:25 pts/1 0:17 ftp jr0001

and kill the PID
# kill 486

HTH,
Robert-Jan

thank for quick answer, but this is not the case i killed all processes with ftp.
the box can still ftp somewhere else and you can ftp the box from somewhere else, but i can`t ftp from the box to the special other one. if nothings going to help i?ll do a reboot at the weekend

Ok, I misunderstood your question.

Can you ping the "special box" ?

[Ingo Duschl]

no i can`t ping (strange) the backup machine
from the working one , which has only one networkcard and it is in the net so far.
what could this be that i can`t ping the other. from my workstation i can ping both.
from both machine i can ping several others.
i ve also rebooted the backup machine.

not sure if you can restart your net services since it is production machines, i.e.

# /sbin/init.d/net stop
# /sbin/init.d/net start

also the inetd service

# /sbin/init.d/inetd stop
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start

and try again.

regards.
