Replace Existing File with Temp File:ICMP port unreachable 226 Transfer complete.

[shiva27]

Hi All,

Openvms - V8.3
I want to download SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS file from VMS server to local desktop thru FTP.
So i took the backup of this file on same directory with another name and tried it ftp as
ftp A.B.C.D (ip addres)
username:xyz pass:***
ftp>bin
ftp>hash
ftp>prompt
ftp>cd "SYS$ERRORLOG"
ftp>mget ERRLOG.SYS
....................
....................
Replace Existing File with Temp File:ICMP port unreachable 226 Transfer complete.

Any idea why this error is coming , other logs files are able to download successfully from same server.

Forgot to add,

When i check on desktop no files downloaded.

ICMP port unreachable would mean that VMS replied that you could not open the transport port (you obvious have the command port active as it prompted for the username).

A firewall blocking certain ports could also send this.

Understood , but again how can i able to pulled other logs files from same server, only these file encountering error,
this file size is 130MB.

Is there any other way to download this file on desktop, i want to send this file urgently to HP for analyzing critical issues.

hi,

if there is only one why don't you just use get not mget, back it up to another area first and get it from there.

fwiw

I tried the same commands from my XP with a old FTP program (which I shouldn't have) to VMS 7.3. Mget doesn't work but get works fine.

Try ftp command "debug", ftp command "set passive on" (or whatever in your ftp).
