Hi ,

Does any error if use ftp program in windows dos prompt ?
just supply oracle user and password when ftp ask for user/passsword.

Hi,

Please check that /etc/shells contain the login shell of your oracle user. To identify the login shell of your oracle user, perform the following:

# grep oracle /etc/passwd|cut -d: -f7

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Probably the oracle user has no rights to do a FTP session. You will have to check your FTP configuration.

Hi

changed an entry for oracle user in /etc/passwd file from /bin/sh to /usr/bin/sh. Now I am able to ftp as oracle :)

thanks for your replies
