FTP thru Unix doesn't auth usrname & pswd, but Windows app does - why?!
Strange one this...

One of our contacts switched FTP servers, a different IP and now using port 2121 instead of 21.

Changed the details in a Windows application using the username & password provided and it works no problem.

Tried to FTP through Unix and although I can connect to the FTP server, when I then enter the username & password to gain the access I require it tells me the same username & password are incorrect?!

Any ideas why?

Further to this, I have discovered in Unix that you can append to the 'open' command the specific port number - e.g. open 246.57.64.33 [2121]

Again, although the windows app can connect correctly Unix doesn't recognise that port to open?!

You don't state which operating systems are involved.
The usual unix syntax is:

Code:
ftp 246.57.64.33 2121

or

open 246.57.64.33 2121

Apologies - but that worked - so simple!?!

Thanks for your help
