Hi Marc'O The model com gives me only the following info:
# model
9000/800/rp3440

I do not know the platform of the server (pa risc?)
Mel talked about enabling binary mode before downloading the ftp file. how am I supposed to do it?
I am cfiguring the name service while.

[Marco A.]

that's correct, you have a RP (rack-mount PA-RISC).

But, then try to run the other ftp software...and put the file in your server.

As for the ascii mode, it has not solved the transfer pb; look:

ftp> ascii
200 Type set to A.
ftp> put wget-1.10.2-hppa-11.23.depot.gz
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for wget-1.10.2-hppa-11.23.depot.gz.
226-WARNING! 2115 bare linefeeds received in ASCII mode
File may not have transferred correctly.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 628335 bytes sent in 1.06Seconds 591.65Kbytes/sec.

If I want to use the other ftp sw, should I only have to download it to the windows box and use it as I am using FileZilla right now?

[Marco A.]

that's correct IVI ... , actually test if the file you have is good by triying to un-compress it in your computer, using winzip, or winrar, the product that you have.

Marc'O, I downloaded the wget-1.10.2-hppa-11.23.depot.gz file from ftp://hpux.connect.org.uk/hpux/Gnu/wget-1.10.2/
to the win box.
Then I unzip it to get the .depot file.
This one I ftp to the hp-ux box and got the same error as before.
Anyway I used the swinstall -s command that opened the swinstall GUI and displayed the following error:
"hostname:/path to the depot file": You do not have the required permission to perform this operation.
I had already got this error when trying to install a DNS depot file. I am root on the server.
When I use 'swacl -l root' to check the permissions I get the error that I do not have the test or controp permission to be able to access the root acl.
The identity information used by Software Depot is:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=3(sys) groups=0(root),1(other),2(bin),4(adm),5(daemon),6(mail),7(lp),20(users)

What should I do to be able to install depot files?

[Marco A.]

IVI,

These errors can be caused by corruption within the Software Distributor.
There are different causes that can be cleared up by following these
instructions:

1. Login as root

2. Stop swagentd
#/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop

3. Verify swagentd has stopped:
#ps â ef | grep swagentd

4. Change directory to /var/adm/sw:
# cd /var/adm/sw

5. Move the directory /var/adm/sw/security and its contents:
# mv security security.orig

6. Copy the directory and its contents
from /usr/newconfig/var/adm/sw/security to /var/adm/sw/security
#cp â Rp /usr/newconfig/var/adm/sw/security /var/adm/sw/security

7. Start swagentd:
#/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

8. Verify swagentd has started:
#ps â ef | grep swagentd


Proceed with swinstall operation.


If ACLs are in use, move the original /var/adm/sw/security directory back in
place.

9. Change directory to /var/adm/sw:
# cd /var/adm/sw
# mv security /tmp
# mv security.orig security

10. Stop and restart swagentd:
#/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
#/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Rgds,

Marc'o

Sorry, the weird characteres are -

Thank you very much Marc'O; there is some progress. After following the procedure on SD, the permission error does not appear anymore when the SD GUI opens. The 'Select Target Path' window is directly displayed. However, when I click on the Root Path I get the permission error again. Which path information should I enter in the bar? (I tried the depot path but it seems to be wrong)

[Marco A.]

After you resolved that you send the file again to the server using the application that I recommmend you?! , I think that you need to upload the file again because it giving you an error, that screen that you are seeing must be other, try to upload the file again from the ftp site, actually, unzip the file in your computer and after that upload the file to your server! ..
then use the swinstall =)....

Try that and let us know your results.

[lVl_1]

I downloaded the file again and unzip it using winzip. Then I uploaded it to the hpux box and use the swinstall -s command; same result: the SD GUI opens and asks for a Target Path. Is that wrong or we just have to figure out what the right value to enter is?
