FTP sites are typically used for uploading and downloading files to a central server computer, for the sake of file distribution.

In order to download and upload files to an FTP site, you need to connect using special FTP software. There are both commercial and free FTP software programs, and some browser-based free FTP programs as well

The typical information needed to connect to an FTP site is:

1. The "server address" or "hostname". This is the network address of the computer you wish to connect to, such as ftp.hp.com.
2. The username and password. These are the credentials you use to access the specific files on the computer you wish to connect to.

# ftp ipaddress of server
username: xxxxx
password : xxxx

ftp>


mget -- to get file from the server
mput -- to upload file to server

---------------------------------


Regarding installation

TO install a software

#swinstall -s /path of software

TO List installed software

# swlist


ram

In my server ftp is not working.Iam able to login to the ftp. But I can't execute the commands in ftp.

Hi,

maybe it's simplier at the beginning to use the graphical user interface (GUI) of swinstall - just type 'swinstall' and it will open.
Here you also can choose the source directory of the patches at a different server.

If possible, please give more details of your problem - which hardware, which os, how is your environment, exact error messages ...

Please also use the possibility to search in this forum.
The forum search is not the best, but you can use google and search with 'site:forums11.itrc.hp.com' or 'site:forums12.itrc.hp.com'

HTH and
keep on foruming

1.check for the ftp daemon whether running .

2.check for the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers entry, whether user is restricted.

3.check for the /etc/services, whether port for ftp is opened.

Hi Anjaneyulu,

If I understand your questions correctly, you want to copy some patches from your desktop to unix server using ftp.

If this is your requirement follow the below steps.

1.ftp from your pc to unix server

c:\>ftp

You will be asked to provide user name and password. Once you get the ftp prompt do the following

ftp>bin --> Transfer the files in binary mode
ftp>cd /tmp --> To put the files in tmp folder

ftp>hash --> Optional to know the progress

ftp>put --> To put the patch/file into tmp folder. Follow this command if you have more patches/files

ftp>bye --> to exit

If you provide the error or where you struck up then we will be able to help you.

>>In my server ftp is not working.<<<

how to check ftp not working

# ps -ef |grep ftp

# grep ftp /etc/services
ftp 21/tcp # File
(above output show's ftp enabled under /etc/services)

# netstat -an |grep 21
tcp 0 0 *.21 *.* LISTEN
(port 21 should be listing)


# grep ftp /var/adm/inetd.sec
(look for any "Secuity" settings like ftp - allow or deny to particular ip range)


Iam able to login to the ftp.

even though ftp not enable , you may still have the ftp prompt, meaning its not enabled ,


>>But I can't execute the commands in ftp.<<

[V. Nyga · Accepted solution]

Hi,

as mentioned above you should change to a directory, where you're sure that you can write to.

ftp>cd /tmp
ftp>put abhi

hello Frnd,

>>553 abhi: No space left on device.<<

Can please check your "Target" folder have enough free space

(meaning source ftpA --> Server target ftpB --> Server
source ftpA :/home/Anjaneyulu
target ftpB ;/home/johnson --> can you check you have enough free space on the "Server ftpB -> folder /home/johnson ..?)

Thanks,
Johnson

hi,

I able to copy files from one server to another.

But Iam not able to copy the files from my PC desktop to server
I want to move the one notepad9script) or word to server A.

c://home>ftp A
ftp>bin
ftp> put script
script: File not found

It diplays file not found. then I put the file in c://home after this also I get the same error.

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

at pc's you can configure not to show an extention. Please verify the complete name of your file or try a wildcard 'scrip*'.
Also test to copy from C:\Temp instead of C:\home.

Hi,

when I go to the ftp. the put command didn't get the file. and also my pwd is showing remoteserver directory. not the desktop.


I gave in the cmd > cd desktop. It goes to the desktop directory.

after I typed following bellow.

ftp 12.3.4.6(sat)
ftp>bin
ftp>hash
ftp>put h12
No such file or directory
ftp>pwd
/export/home/sat


The above directory is the sat's directory. How can I copy the files from desktop to in SAT server.
Please help me in this.

[Ganesan R]

Hi Anajeyulu,

I mentioned in my previous post that you first goto the directory where you have the file on your desktop command prompt and give ftp command.

or you can use "lcd" command to goto required directory on local machine(desktop in your case)

>>>>and also my pwd is showing remoteserver directory. not the desktop<<<<

pwd will show remoteserver directory only. use lcd directory to change local directory.
Ex: ftp>lcd c:\patch\dir1

then use put command to copy the file. Use filename or wildcard for copying

Ex: ftp>put hp12.txt
ftp>put hp12*.txt
