Anonymous FTP problem
Posted in 1996
I have *almost* setup anonymous FTP on one of our machines. I can log in but am unable to get anything back from (e.g.) 'DIR' as in the following sample output: v3.1> ftp 4gldev Connected to 4gldev. 220 4gldev FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.2) ready. Name (4gldev:sally): ftp 331 Guest login ok, send ident as password. Password: 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. ftp> dir 200 PORT command successful. 425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20): Bad file number. ftp> quit 221 Goodbye. v3.1> The platform running the ftp is an ICL Teamserver 7MPlus.9.8. I followed the instructions as per the 'man ftpd' output. Structure under the anonymous FTP directory is as follows: -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp other 613 Jun 17 1994 ./.profile -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 9 Dec 9 14:44 ./dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 63, 42 Dec 6 18:09 ./dev/tcp crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 31, 1 Dec 6 18:09 ./dev/zero drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:28 ./dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:00 ./etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:00 ./lib drwxrwxrwx 2 ftp other 512 Dec 6 18:00 ./pub ---x--x--x 1 root sys 29772 Dec 6 18:04 ./usr/bin/ls drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:04 ./usr/bin -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 550088 Dec 6 18:06 ./usr/lib/libc.so.1 d--x--x--x 2 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:06 ./usr/lib drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 512 Dec 6 18:06 ./usr drwxr-xr-x 7 ftp other 512 Dec 6 18:04 . Hope you can answer my problem! TIA -- Sally Woolrich
