Cannot Run FTP
Cannot Run FTP
* Did you specify the correct filename.group.account to run the FTP
user program:
:FTP.ARPA.SYS
* Check with your network administrator: The network and link(s)
must be active.
Cannot Connect to the Remote Host
* Did you enter the correct IP address or NS node name? See your
network administrator.
* Check with your network administrator to find out the following:
* Does the remote host system support FTP?
* Is the FTP server up and running on the remote host system?
* Is the network link active on the remote host system?
* If an NS node name was used, make sure it is correctly
entered in the network directory. If not, use the IP
address.
Cannot Logon to Remote (MPE XL User)
* If an MPE XL user cannot logon to the remote system, verify the
logon account and passwords are correct.
* Try to log on from the remote system with the user's account and
password(s).
User Cannot Log on to MPE XL
* If a remote user accessing MPE XL cannot logon, verify that the
logon account and passwords are correct.
* If you tried to log on from a system that supports prompting, try
to log on using the FTP USER command:
ftp> USER session,user.account,group
* Check that passwords are entered correctly. Passwords must be
entered as follows:
At the password prompt:
userpass,acctpass,grouppass
or,as part of the logon string:
ftp> USER sess,user/userpass.acct/acctpass,group/grouppass
NOTE: Passwords can only be entered once. For example, if the user
enters the account password in the USER command string, do not re-enter
it at the password prompt.
File Transfer Problems
For file transfer problems, first turn verbose and debug on.
* Use the LS or DIR command to verify the file name spelling.
* Check how file names are entered: some systems support both upper
and lower case file names. Some systems support characters in
file names that are not supported on MPE XL.
* On MPE XL, using MPUT, resulting files are in upper case letters
(on non-MPE XL system). Use CASE command to force file names to
lower case.
* Supported file types: must be binary or ASCII, fixed or variable
records.
* Check the default file transfer type you are using. Enter:
ftp> TYPE
* Check the type of file you are transferring: Are you transferring
binary to ASCII? See Chapter 6 in this manual.
* Check the size of records, and file types supported on the remote
host and MPE XL (see Chapter 6 in this manual for MPE XL).
Command Not Supported on Remote System
Use the FTP command REMOTEHELP to determine the supported server
commands on the remote host.
