Passive FTP in HP-UX 10.20

[Emma Cooper]

Does the ftp demon and client in HP-UX support passive mode connections? I have just installed a firewall and now need to use passive mode to ftp between two HP servers.

If it does not, what options are open to me?

Thanks in advance

It appears that ftp passive mode works at both 10.20 and 11.X, but I'm not sure that it is supported though. I ran into the same problem when downloading patches off the HP site on the internet. Switching into passive mode works just fine to get the data through the firewall. The reason I'm not sure if it is supported or not is where I was not able to locate anything in HP documentation that mentions passive mode at all.

I believe that the ftp daemon and client that come with HPUX 10.20 conform to RFC 1123 and so support passive mode ftp. Do a man on ftpd and search for PASV; also a man on ftp and search for the proxy command.

Patch PHNE_17963 appears to implement passive mode in the ftp client at 10.20. I'm not sure about the server.

You can also download HP software site the latest ftpd binary file for 10.20 and copy it to /usr/lbin.
