Re: ftp problems pc to i5 at v5r3






I do have a local host name set up - it was required in the anynet
setup to do savrstlib between 2 systems (one system having
gig ethernet and the other not). When done i did switch the ip
of one machine to the other (and remove other from network).
All other network functions, including local net ftp working fine.
I have not yet checked OpsNav settings, but am also assuming
it would present same problem to local and remote ftp.
Is there a timer i need to increase for ftp via wan (like this thing
is timing out)?
