ftp problem to Linux

[Ragni Singh]

Hello, I'm running redhat 3 and during ftp, I get the following message. Any idea what is cauing this and how to resolve this.

Error is at the bottom..

426 Failure reading network stream.

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
EZA1701I >>> STOR trades.txt

Ok, just how big is the file?

Also, what OS is acting as the server, and what OS and software is the client?

What sort of network is the file being transferred across? WAN? LAN? How fast is the network connection? Are there any interface errors in either end or any of the comms equiptment in between?

Looks to me like the target server may have run out of disk space.

check the /var/log/messages file if its a Linux server.

thanks for the response guys. We have a sniffer out to see what the issue could be. As fr as the last post, its not a disk issue since that was one of the first things I looked at.

Are there any messages on the target server at all? If not, I 'd look at firewalls, cabling and other network infrastructure router issues that might be interfering with the transfer.

I believe it could be issue with firewall or the routing configuration.

please ensure you get the same error message if you download from other machines too, in which case you can be certain that this issue belongs to the server otherwise the issue is with the client.

Next try to do ping from client to server and check the round trip time, it might make sense. also check whether firewall is doing some extra work on all the transferred packets to delay the delivery.

let us know whether both machines are in same network (LAN/WAN). Also from the client check up the network parameters like, router information and DNS information.

Hope this helps,
Gopi

Did you try to use PASV?
