That kinda looks like some script called 'ftp'.

Could you try:
/usr/bin/ftp 10.10.8.145

Cheers

Anand,
please try:
/usr/bin/ftp 10.10.8.145

Suspect that you have an alias set up for ftp.

/usr/bin/ftp: 5,N/A,N/A]: not found.
/usr/bin/ftp[3]: Mirror: not found.
/usr/bin/ftp[5]: Mirror: not found.

Hi Anand,

I don't understand, what you are trying to do.

# /usr/lbin --> is a directory

$ftp --> is a variable (a script you wrote, maybe)

the ip (guess it's the right one)

In your script ($ftp) seems to be sone errors.

Can you post the contens of $ftp??

Hi Dino,
I just try to do normal FTP but it is giving errors


/home/tcb/anand $ftp 10.10.8.145
ftp: 5,N/A,N/A]: not found.
ftp[3]: Mirror: not found.
ftp[5]: Mirror: not found.
ftp[7]: Back: not found.
ftp[8]: Syntax error at line 10 : `(' is not expected.

Anand,
please post results of:
which ftp
file `which ftp`
ll `which ftp`

I assume your data before the $ is your current directory i.e. part of your prompt.

Hi,
/home/tcb/anand $which ftp
/usr/bin/ftp
/home/tcb/anand $file `which ftp`
/usr/bin/ftp: ascii text
/home/tcb/anand $ll `which ftp`
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 114688 Nov 15 2004 /usr/bin/ftp
/home/tcb/anand $

file `which ftp`
/bin/ftp: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked

Your ftp has been replaced by a text file. Save the text file for later examination and copy the ftp binary from another machine.

Anand,
ftp should be a executable not ascii file !!
Please move the file and replace with file from backup or file from same OS version machine.

Also investigate how/who changed the file.

Hi All,
It is working after replaced the file with new one. Thank You for you kind help

[Peter Godron]

Anand,
that just leaves the task of assigning points and finding out how the problem was caused in the first place.

Study the faulty ftp script, perhpas that will give you a clue asto who wrote it and/or whta the purpose of the script was.
