ftp command
Hi there!
I've used the ftp command to transfert datas between linux to unix box.
The answer of this command, was:
Code:
ftp -A -v n0dark
Connected to n0dark.
220 n0dark FTP server (Version 4.1 Thu Sep 12 23:46:23 CDT 2002) ready.
Name (n0dark:root): ftpn0darkusr
331 Password required for ftpn0darkusr.
Password:*******
230-Last unsuccessful login: Wed Jul 20 17:33:23 DFT 2005 on ftp from ::ffff:167.31.1.20
230-Last login: Fri Aug  5 09:34:00 DFT 2005 on ftp from ::ffff:167.31.1.16
230 User ftpn0darkusr logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ascii
200 Type set to A; form set to N.
ftp> put data01
local: data01 remote: data01
'500' EPRT | 1|167.31.1.16|43526|: command not understood
200 PORT command successful 
150 Opening data connection for data01.
100% |***********************************************************|  1087       5.63 MB/s    --:-- ETA
226 Transfer complete.
1087 bytes sent in 00:03 (0.35 KB/s)
ftp>

It strange because the transfert was complete and it brings two messages, the first is successful from PORT command and the second is an error from EPRT command!
So, It seems that linux use both EPSV/EPRT (rfc2428) and PORT/PASV (rfc959)! I'm using the return code of the command in a script and i don't want to receive the EPRT message... Smilie
Has anyone an idea why linux do that? It's possible to disable the EPSV/EPRT command?
Regards

Not sure if this will help or not but try setting your passive mode. Also, please post what ftp you are using (post the OS and version too).

epsv is for ipv6

Just type in
epsv

which will toggle epsv off/on

Cheers
