Weird FTP issue???
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can possibly explain or give their expertise with this bizarre/weird issue if you will that I've been having while using such commands as portsnap, portaudit, fetch, etc. First off, I'm running FreeBSD v6.1. I have three (Internet) servers running the same FreeBSD version. However, one of the servers has been giving me trouble and I can't decipher whether or not it's a FreeBSD related issue or something else altogether. On this one server, whenever I try to use portaudit, portsnap, fetch, or whenever I try to upgrade ports and it needs to fetch the updates the connections ALMOST always time out. But what's weird is that I don't have the issue on the other two FreeBSD servers when they need to use the same commands. I can SSH to this (problem) server, ping to-from it, and everything else. It's gotten to the point where I thought it was a FreeBSD problem so I completely reformatted and installed the O/S. However, it's STILL doing the same thing. Upon trying to install certain distribution sets through FTP media, I'd get an error about it (FreeBSD) not being able to get a connection with the remote FreeBSD server. After that, I even went as far as changing network cards and it's still doing it. Using netstat while trying to use the commands shows that it's sending a SYN flag to the remote server, but no connection is ever established. I have all three servers plugged into the same router/firewall and have done so for years with no problems. This is the first issue of its kind. I'd greatly appreciate any insight, help, explanation, or something. This is getting really aggrevating. THANK YOU in advance. -- Michael ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Weird FTP issue???
Hi, did you also use different cable and different switch ports for this problematic machine? Yes, your problem sounds weird. Life told us so many times that things like this can happen.

Please, note that portsnap is not using FTP, but HTTP. The first thing to do, when a problem like this occurs, is to use tcpdump to capture a packet trace. Use tcpdump on the server and, if possible, on the router/firewall and show us the results, if you can't analyze them by yourself. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FTP issue
On the windows side some one puts up and .html file thru an FTP client. Then at some point between the transfer the file is copied over and the page is blank, and in the ftp clinet window it says 0kb.. when the original is 1 mb... Have they reached their storage quota limit? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1. someone is using a windows ftp client to upload to a BSD apache server. 2. when you try to send a page to BSD server. The files is 0kb and the page dissapppears. 3. It says the page is there but it is 0kb 4. so if you go to it nothing is there.

I'd suggest removing apache and MSIE ftp out of the picture entirely for now. Use ftp.exe on the windows end to send the file, and log onto the server and use ls -l to watch the file size directly. MSIE's ftp mode is incredibly bad at returning error messages back to the user. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
