Does the user your FTPing to the Sun box as have a valid shell? If so the path to the default shell for that user needs to be in /etc/shells. If you don't have a valid shell on the Sun box then something like /bin/false will need to be in /etc/shells. That could be the problem.
Otherwise, (again assuming you have a shell on the Sun machine), can you read the logs on it? Is there anything in /var/adm/messages, /var/log/syslog or wherever the xferlog is? Can the Sun machine FTP to itself? Will.

(RH7.3) 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!!!!
