Re: accessing switch
I am trying to poll files from a switch,i get an error message saying that the ftp timer has expired,i presume this could be network congestion or some problem with the switch.I am trying to check where the problem and correct it so that i can get the files from the switch.

Re: accessing switch
you're talking to it, and what actually
happens when you do whatever it is that you
do, it's hard for _me_ to make any useful
suggestions.
"poll files" or "pull files"?
You're talking about some kind of network
switch? Which kind? It's known to do FTP
(rather than, say, TFTP)?
> [...] i dont have the ip of the switches.
So how are you doing the FTP operations?
A transcript of what you do and what happens
when you do it might be more useful than
vague descriptions.

Re: accessing switch
Normally the term switch refers to a device on the network that provides connectivity for computing systems. It can act as a bridge (layer 2) or a router (layer 3) or both.
It usually doesn't have files on it that can be accessed by a user on a system. It only provides connectivity and unless you own the switch or are responsible for it's maintenance, you wouldn't normally connect to it for anything but connect through it transparently.
So if you are trying to access files, more than likely there is another host either attached to the same switch or another switch, hub or router on the same or different network.
You will need to find the tcp/ip address associated with the entity containing the files or know it's hostname and have some local hosts file or dns server to translate that hostname to an ip address.
We can help only if you provide more details
as Steve has indicated.

Re: accessing switch
know the answer, but you can't even ask the
question.
