FTP problem

[Sk Noorul Hassan]

Hi all,Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I am facing another problem related to FTP in one of VAX 4105A server.

Question : UCX 4.2 running on VMS 7.1. In a perticular Server when using FTP nodename including local host, error is " %FTP-E-HSTINF, Failed to get host information for local host name(e.g. APPLE.VAX) not available in dtabase". But the fact is that every definations are intact. The problem just started today. Pls suggest

When you enter
UCX SHO HOST 'local' /LOCAL
is there a correct entry in the host db (please substitute 'local' with your local hostname)?

and does it correspond to what is seen in
UCX SHOW COMM
?

Hi everybody,

I have the same FTP problem, also on VMS 7.1 and UCX 4.1, with the IP address:

$ ftp 10.96.xxx.xxx
%FTP-E-HSTINF, Failed to get host information for NODE01.domain.priv from database
-RMS-E-RNF, record not found

$ ucx ping 10.96.xxx.xxx
%UCX-I-LOOPACT, 10.96.xxx.xxx is alive

Any idea ?
Thank you.

Hi Favre,
next time it's better you open a new your thread.
About your trouble, ucx V4.1 can open ftp host only if it recorded in database.
Make this:
$ ucx set host /addr=10.96.xxx.xxx

Cheers.
