Re: FTP from Solaris 8 client

I'm not sure if this applies to your os version, but here it goes:

I think that the problem is that their ftp script submits a 'pwd' command
after logging in. If possible, the should submit the following command:

cd /

So they switch to the mode namefmt 1, which is the mode compatible with Unix
systems.

Another option you can use if your cilent can't change their ftp script is
to use CHGFTPA to change your ftp attributes. You may want to set the
initial name format to *PATH, and change the initial list format to *UNIX.

Unfortunately, in my understanding CHGFTPA is global, so it would affect the
way other clients connect to your iSeries. Maybe somebody else can figure
out a way to change the ftp attributes depending on who is connecting, or
have multiple ftp servers.

Finally, another alternative is to have a Windows or Linux ftp server that
get synchronized with the iSeries every few minutes (or hours).

Good luck,

Luis

Right now everything (sniff trace on client end) points to a Solaris 8
issue...
NetIq is not going to debug our ftp issues.

With what NetIQ gets for maintenance I'd give them a call.

FTP from Solaris 8 client






Having problem with Solaris 8 Unix customer and ftp.
We can see they log on (USER then PASS, then PWD from their client).
The very next sniffer transaction after our as400 (V4R5) returns
"QGPL" is current library - their system issues a FIN ACK which leads to
a
QUIT.
No log in our exit pgm of a problem - we do log the connection (Net Iq)
Any ideas?
They are pointing at us... this worked before but we think they changed
servers..
