Hi

I'm using a Linux machine (CENTOS 5) to ftp a file from a VMS Alpha box (i hardly know anything about these machines). All seems to be working upto the point where it states the transfer has started but it just hangs...

ftp> get SPOOL.28
local: SPOOL.28 remote: SPOOL.28
200 Port 228.87 at Host 172.16.174.116 accepted.
150 ASCII retrieve of DIST2:[WLH.SPL]SPOOL.28;1 (7398422 bytes) started.

I am not using secure kerberos ftp although i have tried it but doesnt make a difference. The ftp works from a sco-unix or pc. Any ideas??

thanks

Try switch to passive ftp. See Active FTP vs. Passive FTP, a Definitive Explanation

Hi

Thanks for replying.

Sorry, I should have mentioned I did use the passive switch to get to where I did, otherwise it would not open a connection (Connection refused) back to the Linux server.

I've tried debug mode but dont get any useful messages.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
