Ftp / rcp does not find files

[Shuky bendek]

Hi,

I have a problem that sometimes the commands ftp / rcp do not find the files I want to copy from a remote server.
The files exist but I get a "no match" error.
(Hp - UX 11 Servers)
Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. We copy files every night and there is no pattern in what days it works and what days it doesn't.

Please if anybody has any clue.

Regards,

Oded

Hi

Have you checked the file permissions on the files which did not copy to make sure they have read permissions.

Hi,

Try adding -l and -v flags to the ftpd command in /etc/inetd.conf.
This will log every ftp command received in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

umm, are you sure the files are present on the host *before* you start the ftp/rcp?

Hi,

Are you using a script to ftp/rcp those files ?

If yes: does it work if you do it manual ?

If not check your patch level for:
s700_800 11.00 libc cumulative patch

As from PHCO_22923 there was a issue with no_match.

Install possible the latest one would help you out.
Latest is: PHCO_25707

You should install this one with the dependencies:

PHCO_23436 cumulative SAM/ObAM patch
PHCO_23651 fsck_vxfs(1M) cumulative patch
PHCO_23963 libc cumulative header file patch
PHKL_18543 PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf patch
PHKL_20016 2nd CPU not recognized in G70/H70/I70
PHKL_22677 fix of getdirentries, MVFS, rcp, mmap & IDS
PHKL_24027 VxFS 3.1 cumulative patch
PHKL_25906 Probe,IDDS,PM,VM,PA-8700,asyncio,T600,FS
PHKL_26059 syscall, signal, umask cumulative patch

Leave your options as they are during swinstall.
Some patches might be already on your system.

Thank you all for your help.

I double checked and found that I got a little mixed up :

In the process I compress the files. The compress does not change the date of the files. So I was miss lead to believe that the files reside on the server with the extension .Z at a certian time when they actualy didn't.

After all the process finished (Later then shown) the compress was activated.

I searched for *.Z when *.txt existed.

Thanks again for showing me the way.....

Not all problems are always technical .....
