rcp from HP-UX 11 to DEC-VMS

[Jose Mosquera]

Hi Pals,

When we try make a rcp command from HP-UX 11 to DEC-VMS 7.1-2 with Multinet-Server 4.1 sometimes the following error happens:
rcp SALACTIV106.13448.txt envio@mad01v:disk1:[bsc$mgr.codial]WX28042003190049.PEPE006
rcmd: connect: mad01v.country.org.com: Connection timed out

I have tried with the IP address instead alias name to discard any DNS resolution's problem, and the trouble keeps on.

Regrettably I don't have idea some on VMS. I hope some of you can help me!

Best Regards

Get the same error with ftp?

Any correlation to size of file?

Length of time of transmission?

Time of day?

Day of week?

Since its always to the same network node use lsof and tcpdump to analysis:

lsof -i tcp:80
lsof -i udp:80

tcpdump | grep -i rcp

Sounds like a general networking problem.

If rcp failes and telnet works, then look at the Berkely configuration on both boxes.

.rhosts

/etc/hosts.equiv

If rcp fails and telnet fails its a networking issue.

It could be the wiring.
It could be the router/hub.
It could be the cleaning crew getting the vaccuum cleaner to close to something.
It could be unsteady power in the building.

What happens when you initiate rcp from other end? I mean from DEC-VMS?
If you get the same error then it shold be a networking issue.
