Shalom,

Install secure shell.

Secure shell can be found in depot form here:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA

swinstall -s $PWD/ \*

secure shell is a port of openssh that includes ssh/scp/sftp server and client binaries.

Hi,
Are you able to do ssh to the server ?
if yes then you are able to do sftp also if not then
edit this file

/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp /opt/ssh/libexec/sftp-server

go to last line replace /opt/ssh/libexec/sftp-server with /usr/lbin/sftp-server
save it

inetd -c restart the net service

then try sftp

Problem with Suraj' answer.

sftp is not run by the inetd daemon

After configuration chanches.

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start

how to start/stop ftp daemon

[Ganesan R]

Hi Yash123,

ftp service is controlled by its master internet daemon inetd. So you cannot stop or start ftp alone. But you can always disable the ftp service alone on /etc/inetd.conf or in /etc/services.

Whenever a ftp request comes inetd daemon will spawn ftpd daemon to answer the request.If you want to stop and start, then you need to restart inetd daemon only.

#/sbin/init.d/inetd stop
#/sbin/init.d/inetd start

hash ftp line and do

inetd -c

vi /etc/inetd.conf uncomment ftp line

inetd -c
