I have a system that I recently installed Redhat 7.3 on. I have this on a local
network (192.168.0.x) and have no firewall/ipchains. This was a clean install,
and the machine seems to be running well except for this problem.
I have the telnetd running, as well as the wuftpd.
I can telnet fine in & out, and ftp can connect in & out. (client & server) Ping works
across the network, as well as
When I connect to a sun server, and try to download files, or an 'ls' then the
connection hangs. If I download a file, it creates the file locally, but the size of
the file stays 0, and I have to kill the ftp session.
I CAN upload/download a file of size 108 that I created to test out. For some
reason the small file works. I have tried turning passive mode on and off and
playing with permissions, but once I got the small file to xfer, I thought it might
be something else.
I have tried to ftp from a Sun and from a PC with WARftp server. Neither works, so I
don't think it's the Sun. I have also tried both the ftp client and the ncftp client to
see if it was an issue with the client. Both behave the same way.
Anyone have any ideas????? I am at a loss. I was trying to ftp tcpdump so I can
look at other tcp traffic, and it would help to debug this issue, but since I cannot
download it, I can't run it!!!!
Thanks,
jeff
