FTP coonection problem

[surnj1]

Hi,

I am trying to transfer some files on SCO Openserver 5.0.7 system to Windows-XP. When I ftp a SCO host from Win-XP it says:

Connected to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
Connection closed by remote host.

and it gets disconnected

I tried from local network and got the same disconnection message.

On the other hand, i can FTP sucessfully from another SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 system.

Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?

The ftpd daemon process on the SCO system should log information to /usr/adm/syslog. There may be some clues there.

Did you install a FTP SERVER on the Windows XP machine?
And if you did is it configured correctly and running?

as frederico implied.... you cannot "put" at file from the sco system to the xp system (although the error message is not the same as you quoted). you can "get" a file from the sco system to an xp system using ftp. also make sure that the userid and client machine is valid for ftp access. (see /etc/ftpaccess)

syslog doesn't keep log of ftp , it keeps log of everything else but i don't see any line pertaining to ftp or ftpd. any clue?

I am using xp as ftp client from its DOS command prompt, so ther is no need to install and configure FTP server on XP.

I restarted my "syslogd" and now it logs the ftp disconnection as :

ftpd[]: lost connection to CLENT_IP [CLIENT_IP}

Can you download the Ws_ftp trial to your xp box and then connect and copy from SCO box? I use the professional version of the WS_FTP. It is great.

I tried two different ftp clients but no luck.

ok...from a terminal session on the sco box, see if you can ftp from the sco box to the sco box, using the same userid that you are trying from the xp system.

are the xp clients on the same subnet as the sco boxes?

did you check the /etc/ftpaccess file?
