Problems with rcp and ftp

[Alessio_6]

Hi,

I have problems with ftp and rcp.
At first when I tried to rcp (any user) to or from other clients, I got
rresvport: bind: Permission denied

then I had a look at remsh permission and I changed them in 4755. Now I don't get the previous message anylonger but rcp hangs and no file is copied.
The same problems happens while trying with ftp: it hangs.

What could be the cause of these problems?

thanks in advance

Hi,
are you using DNS ?

Any errors in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log?

Yes,
I'm using DNS; I have no error messages in syslog. FTP works good until I try to get/put files: I reach the remote host and I login, but I cannot do any copy.

Hi,
Any errors in syslog of remote host ?.
Do you have any firewall sort of thing in between the servers ?

There's no firewall. Both the servers are on the same network.
Also there's no error in any syslog.

What OS release are you running?

why were the permissions of remsh wrong?

What are the permissions of rcp? Who is the owner/group of rcp and remsh??

Well,

OS: 11.00
I don't know why remsh permissions were wrong, I'm investaigating about this. The permission of rcp and remsh are 4755 (bin:bin).

They need to be root:bin, NOT bin:bin.
