ftp transfer aborts after 36kB

[Walter Reich]

Running HP-UX 10-20 on 2 K200/K220 Servers. for the last years ftp worked fine. today I want to transfer a file from HP-UX to my PC using WS FTP pro 6.02T. the transfer abortet after 36kB with following log entry in WS FTP:

File size is 90957 bytes but after 36864 Bytes transfer is finished.

Smaler files work fine. It does not depend on WS FTP, just a transfer between the two HP-UX shows same result.

Funny to see, if I transfer file not with get, using other direction put, the file is transfered successfully.

Suggestions:

different version of ws_ftp, lots of buggy ones out there.

upgrade wu-ftpd to 2.6 level release if you can find it for HP-UX 10.20

Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log on this for errors.

inetd -l to turn on enhanced logging.

MIght want to check with networking folks to see if security has been changed or any problems on the network .

"426 Data connection: Resource temporarily unavailable."

yup, I'd look at networking and the ftp servers' syslog for help.

also look at your pc to make sure that any windows or personal firewall settings aren't causing the ftp-data problem.

Is your ftp client passive? If so, I would try active to see if you get the same results.

I also see you've go rsa securid, another options is to ditch the ftp and eventually migrate to scp/sftp. :)

Only problem is getting openssh built to work with securid. I've done it w/ 11i but not sure if it'd be any harder on 10.20.

hope this helps,

Hi Walter,

May be a space problem. Please check that you have enough space.

Thanks to all.

A lot of good suggestions. Version upgrade is NO option. PC did not mind. Problem also between both HPs (are in same LAN). Difference between get (NAK) and put (ACK). I will try to get network stuff to help. looked through ALL noticeable log files, NO signs of failure. inetd -l --> will see. sft/ssh/scp is already running. No connection from PC (that's another story). Space is NO PROBLEM.

No solution found. Try saerching
