Error when trying to FTP..
Ok, currently we ftp a file from our Unix server to windows and then to a secureftp.'something'.com site. I am trying to bypass the windows server piece. But when I try to ftp directly from Unix to secure.'something'.com site, I see this error:
220 Check Point FireWall-1 Secure FTP server running on back-new1

Is there a way, maybe a file to edit in /etc to allow this secure ftp to go through to the url I'm trying to connect to? Thanks in advance.

Or, may this be an issue on the url side. I'd like to make sure its not my side before I state that to my peers. Thanks again

220 means that the server is ready. That is not an error unless you wanted to disable ftp. It usually says:
$ ftp ftp.uu.net
Connected to ftp.uu.net.
220 FTP server ready.

but the text after the 220 is allowed to be anything.

So are you saying I'm connected? I'm going create a test ftp script and see if it allows the transfer then.

So I was able to connect to the url via windows telnet. I know I have the right userid and password, but when I tried from Unix today. I get this:

200 password: you can use 'quote xxx' or Account command ('ACCT')

What does that mean exactly? How do I get pass this point?

Looks like it's waiting for a password...

But thats weird, cuz I enter the same password that gets me in telneting through windows.........any other command I could run to connect me right in?

You could turn tracing on for ftp to see what is actually getting exchanged.

Try the "-v" option.
