system information

[Tim Baldwin_1]

I am new to administration on HP servers and need to find out this information:

1. I need to find out if my server has an ANSI C compiler. And whether or not it's installed.

2. I need to find out if my server can transfer files through FTP in ascii mode. If it's only set up to do binary, how do I change it preferably to do both ascii and binary.

Thanks!

as root

swlist -l product | grep -i ansi

This will list software.

A default installation will let you do ftp transfers in ascii mode. You need to see if the ftp server is enabled.

Fastest way to do that is to ftp as a non-root user.

ftp hostname

ftp ip_addresss ex ftp 192.168.0.30

swlist | grep "ansi" (logged in as root)

for ftp

ftp (host ip address)
log in

and you can type ascii which will set file transfer to ascii mode.
