FTP to CMS

[johnsaexp]

Hello,

This is the first time I've used this forum, so I'm not sure I'm doing this right. Anyway, how do you FTP to CMS? I know that there's a file (/etc/inetd.conf) in which you can uncomment a line to enable FTP, but after doing that I still can't FTP to my CMS box. Any suggestions?

Thanks

It has been such a long time I last used it, but remember to force the inet.d to reload its configuration (kill -1 inet.d, or something like that).
Then, try to log in using an user that is not root.

You can use run the below command and try to telnet to the box

/usr/bin/pkill -HUP inetd

you can also use the below commands instead of the above

/etc/init.d/inetd stop
/etc/init.d/inetd start


Please let me know the outcome.

I do the following

Yes the FTP server is disabled by default on R12/13 CMS systems

To enable

find the line in the /etc/inetd.conf file at looks like this

#ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a

remove the hash (#)

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a

save file now restart inet

type ps -eaf|grep inet

root 160 1 0 Mar 15 ? 0:42 /usr/sbin/inetd -s

in this case type

kill -HUP 160

now if you are going use root as the login for ftp

edit the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file

and put a hash (#) in front of root

once you have finished with FTP

do the same but put the # back in /etc/inetd.conf and remove the hash form root in ftpusers
