What is the default for ftp on solairs 8, active or passive. How do you change?

Thanks

If you mean the ftpd daemon is running by default, the answer is yes.

to disable:

ps -ef |grep ftpd will return the PID for the daemon. Do a Kill -9 for that PID.

Go to /etc/inet/ Edit the inetd.conf file and comment out the line that starts with ftp.

I suggest commenting out any service there and in /etc/services that you do not need.

No I am not talking about inetd.

My question is acitve/passive ftp connection.

I am using Solaris 8 and by default when you connect an active connection is made.

I am trying to connect using the passive mode.

# ftp host
# ftp debug
# ftp passive or ftp -p ( I get invalid command)

I have seen articles that Solaris 8 support passive ftp mode but I haven't been successful.

Has anyone seen a problem with ftp passive mode on solaris 8.

Thanks
