how to get file from HP-UX to windows XP

[rustam_2]

Hi all,
I need to get\sent some files from server where runs HP-UX to\from Windows XP. Before and now, for some my servers i use Total Commander (FTP), but for HP-UX it doesnt work. Should i use softs which support ssh and sftp? I searched and found winscp, but couldnt do my tasks, got error and couldnt open directories. Does there other way do it?

Regards,
Rustam

I ' m been using "WINSCP" no problems so far, the error your refer to "Sounds to be "permission" problem, can also post / attach "Screen-Short" issue

Hello,

You can use any ftp client (including the one from Total Commander) on your windows workstation as long as your HP-UX is running an ftp server.

Usually ftp server is started from inetd. Check your server configuration

purpose of "winscp" software , will help to auto-detect if its ascii/bin file, also purpose of secured copy"

Johnson Punniyalingam and Horia Chirculescu,
Ok, tommorow in the morning when i will be at work i make some screens.
For now, should i configure ftp on my server?

regards,
Rustam

[Horia Chirculescu]

Look at the file:

/etc/inetd.conf

The lines with # are comments.

Go to the line starting with ftp and remove the first #

Then reconfigure the inetd with

/usr/sbin/inetd -c

Horia.

>>should i configure ftp on my server?<<

Not required, i believe "ftp /sftp" service by default there are configured / Install

You just need to check by below commands ?

Check services are enabled on the below files

# grep -i ftp or sftp /etc/services
# grep -i ftp or sftp /etc/inetd.conf

on top of that you can check with "netstat" command to check ftp /sftp port "listen.

# netstat -an |grep -i

You can do the SSH protocols, as mentioned. With this you can use winscp, provided the HPUX side is running SSH daemon, so there will be a give/accept of the public key.

Or you use the SSH protocols to set up a passwordless connection. But that requires more knowlege of SSH protocols and how to do this. Little harder.

You can also setup a CIFS (SAMBA) share between HPUX and Windows. Basically CIFS sit on NFS, so it's a shared file system.

Check all your options. Keep yourself open to different methods.

Shalom,

tons of options.

built into windows is an ftp client. A bad one, but you can access it on the command line with the command ftp.

FTP server is installed, configured and working in HP-UX by default.

Any modern version of HP-UX has secure shell, installed configured and running.

The secure way to go is to use wincp, or putty's sftp client. Going this route will lead to less problems on your next security audit.

filezilla is a ftp/sftp capable gui client for transferring files as well. Very easy to use.

"It doesn't work" is not a useful problem
description. It does not say what you did.
It does not say what happened when you did
it.

> [...] got error [...]

Even less useful.

Other than _what_? My psychic powers are too
weak to tell me what you actually did.

Hi everybody,
thanks for advices, i checked all files and services, they are ok. sftp/ftp were installed by default. On HP-UX everything are\were fine. Then i came back to my windows and started to check Winscp configuration. I found out lack of configuration in it. I changed and then could connect to HP with total commander and explorer view. It is really great, to look Unix hierarchy with Win Explorer(from above all catalogs). I liked.

Thanks again for all of you.
