Unable to connect to a server from our AIX server via FTP
Hi guys,
We are trying to connect to an FTP server from our AIX server. Getting the following message
However, we are able to reach out to the same server from our local PC (workstation) via powershell
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The ftp services are enabled [uncommented] in the /etc/services file
The ports are open
Checked the inetd.conf file, ftp isn't commented out
Upon checking the firewall status , we are getting the following message
Please suggest what approach to take /checks to do in order to connect via FTP? Any specific firewall related checks we need to do ?
OS configuration:
Regards,
Bruno

Have you checked ftpd is running?
Are you on the same network as the PC or the Windows server? ( switches/routers can be configured to let only some ports open...)
can you ftp a nearby server on same lan, can you from the Windos server ftp your AIX?...
Windows PC and my AIX server are on the same LAN ,let's say LAN1
The server that i'm trying to connect to is on another LAN say LAN 2
I was successfully able to ping the AIX server from my local windows workstation
Here is the o/p:

I think this question has been asked and answered many times over the years.
Hi, i did search this site and went across 10-12 different posts/questions which were of similar nature,still haven't found a solution .
Yes, did do a traceroute from my host to the ftp server :
Thing is the infrastructure @ my organization where i joined 2 weeks back is a mess, no proper OS monitoring/maintenance was done for quite sometime . I immediately need to transfer important business docs from my SAP AIX server to ftp server.
Have checked the services file, ports,inetd.conf file. Tried checking the firewall status which led to this
Would be extremely grateful if you can guide me to look for areas where i can troubleshoot ?

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
Please read and follow the rules about code tags and let us know you will abide by the rules:
Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.
