Connection refused without the FTP server started on my v4r5 box. Sure beats conventional wisdom! -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Steve McKay Sent: 14 September 2001 16:39 To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: FTP with server down "alan shore" <SHOREA@dime.com> wrote: "Using the command (ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*FTP)) to ensure that no FTP server was running, I was able to FTP from MS DOS to the AS/400 using my AS/400 user profile and password.

If I AM authorized to our FTP authorization list, I can proceed, with what I am authorized to do, with the regular AS/400 security AND whatever security has been applied via the exit programs." If this is correct, then I would think that it would be a HUGE security hole. It is my understanding that, if the FTP server is not running, there is nothing 'at the other end' to even present you with a user ID/password challenge and you get a "Connection refused" message. I am still unable to cause the described behavior on my V4R5 system. Is it possible that this occurred via the Trivial FTP server?
