MPE/iX FTP User
1. Cannot Connect by Node name(IP Address OK)
An MPE/iX FTP user cannot connect by NS node name, but can connect using
the remote system IP address:
* If the node name is configured in the network directory, check to
see that it is configured correctly. If it is not, configure the
node name.
* For remote nodes that support probe or probe proxy, and are not
configured in the network directory, examine the network
configuration.
2. Cannot Connectn by IP Address
Check that the user entered the correct IP address. The correct format
for an IP address is: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Where nnn is a number from 000 to 255, inclusive. For example, an IP
address could be: 192.1.20.125. Note that preceding zeros are not used.
Next, check the following:
* Is the network up and running on the system?
*
Run PING/XL to the remote host system. PING/XL can be run as
follows (see Appendix C for more information about PING/XL):
:run ping.net.sys;info="ipaddress [,packets][,bytes]"
Specify the remote IP address, number of packets you want to send,
and bytes of data per packet. Use CTRL-Y to stop PING/XL. Next:
* If PING works, is the FTP server up and running on the
remote host system?
* If PING does not work, is the network link active on the
remote host system?
3. Cannot Logon to Remote
First turn verbose and debug on.
* If an MPE/iX user cannot logon to the remote system, verify the
logon account and passwords are correct.
* Try to log on to the remote system with the user's account and
password(s).
4. Cannot Transfer Files
For FTP file transfer problems, first turn verbose and debug on.
* Use the LS or DIR command to verify the file name spelling.
* Check how the 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/iX.
* Supported file types for MPE/iX: must be binary or ASCII, fixed or
variable records.
* Check the default file transfer type being used. Enter: ftp>
TYPE
* Check the size of records, and file types supported on the remote
host and MPE/iX. For MPE/iX specific information, refer to Chapter
6 in the HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol User's Guide.
