FTP : refused to connect problem
Hi all,
I have just started learning shell scripting. Im using Ksh.

Here is the problem.
I want to ftp all csv files in a directory from windows to a directory in unix.
the script i wrote is below:
Code:
HOST='IP address'
USER='abcd'
PASSWD='****'
ftp -n $HOST <<END_INPUT
user $USER $PASSWD
cd Z:\dir A\dir B
lcd my destination directory
binary
mget *.csv
quit
END_INPUT

the source file is in network drive Z: under directory B
when i execute this script it refuses to connect.

What is wrong with this script.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

In what way does it 'refuse to connect'?

What exactly does it do?

Show what happens word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke.

Not connected.

are you sure the ftp server is running or maybe firewall disabled or accessable ??
Code:
# telnet $HOST 21
# nc -z $HOST 20-100

Thanks for the commands.
i tried them both and first one alone worked.
It is not getting connected actually

This is the reply i got

Code:
 
$ telnet IP address
Trying IP address...
telnet: connect to address IP address: Connection timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

Does this mean that either ftp server is disabled in windows or the firewall is not allowing the connection to establish
Am i right?

I assume you tried the valid IP Address if that is correct,that is to say probably that your access is not allowed..check the the windows firewall or check the local firewall in unix

windows
Code:
NET START|find /i "Firewall"

linux
Code:
# service iptables status

unix
Code:
# iptables -L

and what is your O.S ?

Im using Windows XP and GNU/Linux as the unix counterpart.

I executed the linux command and seems like the local firewall is allowing ftp
the out put of the command is below:

Code:
$ ftp ipltables status
ipltables: bad port number-- status
usage: ftp host-name [port]
