the FTP server on the OXE

[haroun]

hi
are there any commands to check the status of the FTP server on the oxe ?
i'm unable to connect with FTP to a particular site and getting 530 and i'm sure it's not credential issue as user and passwd are same true.
i'm sur that's a oxe issue .

You can try :
netstat -l | grep ftp
and if listen on 21port you should get something like this :

Code: Select all

tcp        0      0 *:ftp                   *:*                     LISTEN

But maybe ssh is active on your system ??

hi tawas and thanks for replay
i got same with nestat -l ftp is listening on port 21 and security is not enabled in my system

this site is causing job failure on the 4760 (synchldap , save and restore). ithink i need more investigation why i m got 530 error .

is telnet (and not ssh) connection available with login mtcl and password mtcl's password ??

you can try with dos command :

ftp
open @ip-oxe
mtcl
mtcl's password

??



And last point, is ftp allowed on your network ???

I do remember having a similar situation some time ago and the issue was that the ftp user db was corrupted. We had to reinstall the OXE software to solve it.

[Tha Tawa'S]

what do you mean by "ftp user db" ??
is it for example, matching user and password ?

[cavagnaro]

The ftp users list. Even we could read the file somehow the ftp service couldn't. 503 means access error.

[Tha Tawa'S]

Ftp users list refers to accounts list ( mtcl, ..) , isn't it ?

Yeah cav your are right i compare different ftp db file of the corrupetd site with others wich works perfectly and i donot seen any diffrence but i think the problme is on the passwd file or some crypted one ( when i edit then with the vi i can't read them ) i think i should reinstall linux .
for the momemnt i done a reverse ftp from the orrupted one to good one , and i use put command instead of get , so i have a copy of mao-dat and ops file
