ftp trouble

[Roberto Severo]

We have a N serie server running UX 11.11. Well, when I try to ftp a file with aprox. 340mb. strange chars start to pop on the screen and the systems seems to freeze. The strangest thing is that i can perform the same operation in other machine. Is there something wrong with my network interface???
Tks.

Hi

What are your response times like when you ping the server from your client ?

Can you telnet to the server ok ? Do you see these characters then ?

Roberto,

Are you trying to ftp files from the N-class HP-UX 11.11 box to a client or are you ftp'ing files from the HP-UX box to a workstation? If it transfers fine on one and not on another, you'll want to start with looking at the one that is failing first. If you want to test your network interface for errors try the following:

netstat -i

lanadmin

Please provide us with some more information, as to what type of ftp clients are being used and what platform (HP-UX -> HP-UX or HP-UX -> Windows, etc.)

Hope that helps.

Steven,

The response time is ok! And i can telnet normally to the server. The problem starts aprox. at the middle of the transfer.

Mike,

The transfer is HP-UX -> HP-UX, i just login to the server and "get" the file.

I've noticed that there are different parameters using lanadmin between this server and the other one (MTU)!

I'll try to change it.

Tks a lot!

Mike,

I've noticed different values using lanadmin between this server and the other one (MTU)!

I'll try to change it.

Tks a lot!

Roberto,

MTU could be the culprit here. A typical MTU setting for ethernet is 1500, so you should probably sync with that setting.

Good luck, hope it works for you.
