FTP: Why can i not use the ALLO command?
Hi guys,
I need to make use of the FTP ALLO command on a Solaris 10 OS. For some reason, FTP does not recognise the command as being valid. Does this command have to be enable> If so, how?

thnks,
Zaff

Try this instead
ftp>quote ALLO 1000

Quote:
from Using FTP
To write larger files than the limit, the you (or your FTP client) must tell the server how large the incoming file is by giving the FTP ALLO command before the FTP STOR (put) command. Some clients may do this automatically. If your client does not, you can do this manually:

ftp> quote allo 123456789
200 ALLO command ok.
ftp> put bigfile write.test10
local: bigfile remote: write.test10
200 PORT command ok.
125 Data connection open; transfer starting.
226 Binary Transfer complete.
123456789 bytes sent in 23.547 secs (5.1e+04 Kbytes/sec)

Note:Once set, the size set with ALLO will remain in effect for that FTP session until you change it.

That makes it sound like the server you are connecting to does not limit file size (or that the file size is higher than 1000). Have you tried sending the file without setting the file size with the quote allo command?

Also, you may need to give some more info - like if this use to work or not, what you are attempting to do, why you are attempting to use the quote command (did someone tell you to use it or what).

I basically need to findout how ALLO can be used to allocate space before a file is sent to the server, so that the allocated space can not be used by any other client who is also sending files. this should hopefully prevent the system from running out space while files are being transfered.

hope this helps.
