Hi,

How to get, ftp or rcp files from UX servers where we login by ssh
I tried ftp and rcp commands.
But I am getting message "Connection refused"
Please help me on this.

Thanks

Use scp in place of rcp:
scp remotenode:/path/to/remotefilename /path/to/localname

or

scp localfilename remotenode:/desired/remote/filename



Assuming you're currently able to ssh in without user/pass,
this will work identically to the rcp command.

Have you try sftp, it uses the same protocol and port as ssh. Since ssh seems to working for you, then you should have no problem with sftp.

I'll be on the target system there is an /var/adm/inetd.sec file that blocks ftp either by ip address or completely.

That or there is no ftpd daemon in the /etc/inetd.conf file. Or inetd -c needs to be run on the target box.

Check that out, though scp/sftp is a better course of action if the other fox is running that.

ps -ef | grep sshd to see on the target box again.

It is very likely that ftp and 'r' commands like rcp are disabled for security reasons so you'll have to contact the remote system's administrator and turn on sftp or scp and setup appropriate keys. Sonce you are already using ssh, I would not compromise security by enabling ftp or rcp.
