IPS 6.0 Supported FTP Server??

Hi,is it true that we can only use supported ftp servers that are documented in cisco for updating ips signatures or image?
###cisco ips 6.x document ####
The following FTP servers are supported for IPS software updates:
â¢ WU-FTPD 2.6.2 (Linux)
â¢ Solaris 2.8
â¢ Sambar 6.0 (Windows 2000)
â¢ Serv-U 5.0 (Windows 2000)
â¢ MS IIS 5.0 (Windows 2000)
can we use ordinary ftp servers other than ftp servers listed above?? thanks

When originally implemented the ftp auto update feature had several problems when using other ftp servers.
The implementation has changed over the past few years, and become more generalized.
So the listed FTP Servers are the ones "officially" tested and supported.
However, it should work with most other FTP servers as well.
I would recommend trying it with whatever FTP server you already have running. If it works then great; you are probably fine to keep using it.
If it doesn't work with your FTP server, then you can contact the TAC. If it turns out to be an incompatability between the sensor and your FTP server, then the issue would have to be entered as an enhancement request to get your FTP server supported rather than an actual bug.
We used to hear alot of incompatability problems with other FTP servers a few years ago.
But I haven't heard of any in the past 2 years.
If it is not working, then it is usually not a problem with the actual FTP server, but rather in how it was configured.
Here are a few examples of issues that are sometimes seen, and can be avoided with configuration of the FTP server.
Additional login messages can sometimes confuse the sensor (like warnings about who can access the box).
The FTP server has to be configured to use unix style directory listings instead of windows style.
Permissions on the files themselves can be a problem.
Renaming of the files after being pulled from cisco.com can cause problems, so keep the filenames exactly as seen on the cisco.com pages.
Keep directory names to letters and numbers to avoid parsing problems with the directory name.

Unable to copy current-config from IPS 4240 to FTP server

I am in the process of upgrading our Signature File at a client site where there is a 4240 installed.
The readme file for Signature S353 indicates that a copy of the running configuration should be saved away.
I have FTP running on my desktop.
I am entering the following command on the IPS at CLI:
bhiips# copy current-config ftp://192.168.5.189
where I am then prompted for my username, then filename, then password.
I watch as the IPS indicates "Generating current config".
The log output of the FTP (Filezilla) shows my FTP connection successful, but then it bombs. Here is an excerpt:

What could be the problem here? I checked the Windows Firewall on my workstation at 192.168.5.189,but it is turned off. I am not sure why I cant save the config away.
It is holding me up from moving forward with the upgrade to Sig 353.
thx

Have you checked permissions on your FTP server to see if a client is able to PUT a file onto your FTP server.
Try connecting from a separate windows PC to your FTP server and login with the userid and password you are using in your copy command. And then try to push a file with a similar name on to your FTP server.
It could be that the FTP server is not configured to allow that userid to put a file on the server.
When you try the above test try and use an FTP client that supports Passive mode. There might be a problem with passive mode on your FTP server.
You might also try running another test from the sensor, but this time instead of copying the configuration try copying the license file from the sensor to your ftp server.

FTP server: PORT command not supported??

Hi,
In a nutshell - we are trying to set up PASV -- PORT connection between a Tiger server (10.4.11) and another system (say it's a windows FTP server). Issuing a PORT command to a Tiger FTP server fails with this error:
-> PORT 192,168,11,3,199,158
<- 500 Invalid PORT command
I have done some research on the web and as far as I can see - this is just a feature that is disabled in Mac OS X ftp server.
What's strange is that "features" command states that PORT is supported.
Has anyone seen PORT command work for a Tiger Server ftp daemon?
Has anyone succeeded enabling this command on a Tiger server?
Can you recommend another FTP server that works well on a Tiger server?
Thanks a million,
Darius

Passive (PASV) and Port (PORT) mechanisms are orthagonal.
If you're working with PORT, then you're almost certainly trying to clear through one or more firewalls. And a firewall can also trigger the Illegal Port Command error for a PORT command.
(Though I don't see a PORT command in the Mac OS X ftp client. I've checked a couple of clients, and it isn't common to expose it.)
ftp is a mess. Insecure, difficult to configure, insecure, firewall unfriendly, insecure, and slow. And did I mention insecure?
(No, I'm not a big fan of ftp.)
Some reading material:
http://www.cert.org/techtips/ftp_portattacks.html
http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
http://cr.yp.to/ftp/security.html
As for a suggestion, chuck ftp and switch to sftp.

Hello.
Today I got the opportunity to work with a Muse user with the same issue after performing the troubleshooting steps in the post above we decided to contact the host.
Later i came to know that host took Muse user's IP and they were able to unblock it and muse started connecting to FTP host.
I another scenario Host suggested Muse user to add :21 to the FTP address and then Muse was able to connect.
Eg ftp.domain.com:21
Please try the 2 suggestion above and let me know if it works.

How do i find the ftp server address information in business catalyst, adobe technical support says

how do i find the ftp server address information in business catalyst, adobe technical support says mine are wrong. I haven't changed nothing and it used to connect. someone please meassge me, not too sure how to use a forum and do not know how to get catalyst support.

Hi Michael,
I think you are referring to the changes switching from regular FTP to SSH connection which is now required.
Please review the article below covering this recent update and the changes needed to establish your connection via (DW or FTP client).

FTP Server: PASV / Illegal PORT Command Issues

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.
We have an iMac running 10.6.6 server with the FTP service running. Everything has worked fine for the last 6 months, including an office move (new IPs, etc) but suddenly in this last week, a lot of users (internal and external) are getting an "Illegal PORT Command" error when connecting.
The iMac is behind an Airport firewall with ports 20 and 21 forwarded to the server.
From what I've read the issue is a NAT related but I can figure out how to fix. The weird thing is that none of us here can think of any changes we've made on the server or Airport in the last week.
I've tried a mismatch of rules in the ftpaccess config file in /Library/FTPServer/Configuration/:
passive address external_ip 0.0.0.0/0
pasv-allow all 10.0.1.1/24
passive ports 10.0.1.1/24 54350 65535
with no success.

In terms of the Airport Extreme, is the Mac Mini Server currently set to the default host? If the Mac Mini Server is not currently set to the default host, this needs to be configured as such.
To set up the Mac Mini Server as the default host on the Airport Extreme:
1 Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
2 Click the Internet button, and then click NAT.
3 Select the “Enable Default Host at” checkbox if not already checked.
4 Enter the same IP address of the Mac Mini Server.
This works

Output to an ftp server via Destinations or Applescript

In Compressor, you can set the Destination of a compression batch to be a remote server, such as an ftp server.
When you start a batch, if the destination is not available or reachable then the documentation (p.230) says: "When there is a problem with your destination, a yellow warning triangle appears. You must resolve this problem before you can successfully transcode."
Although I have not tried it, it implies that if your remote ftp server is not accessible when you drop a file on a created droplet with the Destination set to an ftp server, it won't be able to begin encoding until the destination is available: "As soon as you resolve the problem, the warning triangle disappears and you can continue to transcode." (p.230)
For a lot of people, this is OK.
Some people need to compress and then tranfer the output to a distant location, and they may not have continuous, reliable access to the remote location. They may need to make a temporary connection via modem dial-up, satellite phone or third-world Internet connections. Think news reporters in remote locations.
So, for those people, the option of Applescript should allow them to have their output files saved to a local destination, and then staged up to the ftp server using the built-in commands. But, the problem is that a small file is created at the Destination when the compression is started, and Compressor is not Applescript aware (apart from being able to call an Applescript). This means that any Applescript called as a post processing activity knows nothing about the files Compressor just processed and outputted. It has to glean information about them from the Destination folder where the output files are placed, and then sort out the completed output files from the ones that have just been started, then ftp the completed files up to an ftp server and delete sent files from the Destination folder.
What I would like to see is either
1) a Staged Destination where files are created on the first Destination then staged to a secondary Destination, with an option of keeping these files on the first destination, and/or
2) Applescript support in Compressor which will allow information about the files that have just been compressed to be passed to another Applescript aware application or script.
I would be happy even with some sample Applescript to do the transfer or files from Destination to an ftp server that avoids copying files that haven't been fully processed.
Has anyone else run into these issues?
Bill Lee

Oh, trust me, I do know about Apple and the fact this discussion site is not an official contact point for Apple. I'll be escalating this Request for Enhancement through my contacts at Apple.
There is a reason I have not posted before in this forum (and relates to the above).
There seems to be few people who are using the Applescript post-processing feature, and I was trying to gauge any support for enhancements in this area (and maybe stir up some villagers with pitchforks and burning torches).
Apple will listen to normal users input, but it needs to have a business case that justifies any resources devoted to this. The more people affected, and the greater the impact on your business, and the size/importance of your business has an effect on whether you will get what you want, and when.
Sorry if I was not clear on what I wanted: information as whether this was important for other (non-Apple) people, and whether people had scripts that solved the problem of staging output files to an ftp server that was not consistently connected during the compression process.
Thanks for your reply,
Bill Lee

Problem in Archiving File From FTP Server to XI File Server Using FCC

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server. Archiving on XI server is working fine without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files).
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
File adapter has the functionality which support the empty file handling.
Handling of Empty Files
Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.
○ Do Not Create Message
No XI messages are created from empty files.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
○ Process Empty Files
XI messages are created with an empty main payload.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
○ Skip Empty Files
No XI messages are created from empty files.
Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

How to configure sync with my local ftp server?

I have used XMarks since now because it hallow me to synchronize my bookmarks with my local server. Now XMarks don't work anymore because it's not more possible to synchronize the passwords.
Any other alternative imposes to use an external server and I don't want to use an external server. My data must remain on my machine it's absolutely excluded that i use an external unknown server for this.
The only solution must be a free solution (a real free solution) and the firefox synchronization seems to me the best/only one.
But I've not found how to configure it to use my own server.
So how to do it, where are the options to the synchronizer to give my own ftp server or whatever other server it needs?

iAS 6.0 sp4 officially does only support iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 sp1 and 4.13.
For more details visit: http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/ias/60/sp4/ig/prep.htm#42084
I guess, you can specify the directory server during the time of installation.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

How to get current working directory of the ftp server,in java application

Hi All,
I?m FTP?ing the file using java.net.url.
Here is the snippet of the code:
public void ftpFile()throws ChrsException
try
System.out.println("FTPing the file '"+localfile+"'");
OutputStream os = openUploadStream(targetfile);
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(localfile);
byte[] buf = new byte[16384];
int noOfBytesRead;
while (true)
//Read the data from the source File into buf
noOfBytesRead = is.read(buf);
if (noOfBytesRead <= 0)
break;
//Writes the data present in the buf to the target file
os.write(buf, 0, noOfBytesRead);
os.close();
is.close();
close();
System.out.println ("The file '"+localfile+"' is Sucessfully FTP'd to '"+targetfile+"'");
catch (MalformedURLException malExcp)
System.out.println ("Invalid URL. Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
catch(IOException ioe)
System.out.println ("Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
private OutputStream openUploadStream(String targetfile) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
URL url = null;
//Creates a URL object with FTP protocol
if (user == null)
url = new URL("ftp://" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
else
url = new URL("ftp://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
urlc = url.openConnection();
//Get the OutputStream that writes to this connection.
OutputStream os = urlc.getOutputStream();
return os;
Now I need to find what the current directory is when the user logs in with username and password on to the FTP server in java.
Thanks in Advance.

as soon as user logs in he is taken to the directory
"ftproot/pub/abc".
now If I execute pwd command , is hould be able to
get to know tht user is under "ftproot/pub/abc"Three respected posters, well two plus me ;-), have just told you otherwise. The information about the current directory is (a) secure and (b) useless to the user, as he can't do anything with it. The user doesn't want to know that at all and you shouldn't try to tell him. And in any case FTP doesn't support it, again for security reasons, so you can't do it.
Just accept it.

This looks like FTPS which is not supported on the ASA. You can workaround it by trying to connect using Active mode from the outside instead of PSV.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Help required in connecting to Implicit SSL FTP server

Hi,
I am working on a scenario of File to Idoc.
Here the File server (FTP server) is using the Implicit SSL protocol which is not supported by PI.
Hence, we thought of using the scripts for this.
Using Script we will move the file from the FTP server to the PI directory & then using NFS protocol in channel, PI will read the file.
Here my query is, is it possible to go for such a design in case of Implicit SSL?
If yes, please let me know how it can be achieved.
I am referring the below blog of writing the scripts in case of SSH protocol:
/people/daniel.graversen/blog/2008/12/11/sftp-with-pi-the-openssh-way
Please let me know if any such blog/material is available for Implicit SSL protocol as well.
Your help is highly appreciated.
-Supriya.

have you tried calling from ABAP ?
Connect FTP Server through R/3
There is something called SAP cryptographic kit which you need to install ,please check this link I am not sure
File has to pass through FTPS connection.. Connection parameters?
Port for Implicit SSL is 990

Error occured while connecting to FTP Server...

Hi,
I am trying to use the file adapter to pick the file from FTP server however file adapter raised the following error:
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server \"64.72.230.42:21\": java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
I changed the timeout of the communication channel to 1200 but still getting this error after a minute.
The ftp server is working fine with my ftp client.
Could you please help me to fix this issue ?

I got the following message
"Processing finished successfully" when the ftp folder did not have the required file.
Do you mean, the connection is ok when there is no file in the source directory.
Yes.
However as soon as i put the file start getting the same error message.
This could be then an authorization issue. Check if your source dir & file are having proper authorizations. Check with your BASIS guy.
I set the source directory to a folder name which does not exit on ftp server. now i am getting "The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /user038888888888888888/input: The system cannot find the path specified:"
So, do you think it is a problem of authorizations ? and if it is then how can i change it ? should i have to change the permissions of the folder on ftp server?
Thanks for your support. I really appreciate your help. I almost spend a whole day trying to fix this issue.

Ehsaan.

Error during disconnect from FTP Server

Hi Everyone,
Here's my problem:
XI has stopped picking the messages from the repository of one of servers. Though, we have checked the XI system and can find no problems from the infrastructure side. The adapters also show no errors and the communication channels show no errors.
We have also checked the log viewer in XI and found the following entry:
"Error during disconnect from frtp server ABC, ignored: com.sap.xxx.adapter.file.ftp.XXXXXX: 421 Terminating Connection."
This FTP error relates to what we FTP server says, "421 service not available, remote server has closed connection."
We looked at the server side, the server is working fine.
What do you think is the error? And do we resolve this one? I'm really clueless about this..Im thinking of just restarting the J2EE engine...
Thanks,
Grace

Mary,
This question would be more relevant to the Xi forum... but on googling the error code..
http://help.globalscape.com/help/support/Error_Codes/FTP_Codes.htm
Error 421 Service not available, closing control connection.
Error 421 User limit reached
Error 421 You are not authorized to make the connection
Error 421 Max connections reached
Error 421 Max connections exceeded
Possible Solutions:
You may receive a 421 error if the FTP server you are connected to limits the total number of connections available or limits the connections available to one user. There are three things you can do:
1. Limit the number of connections to any one FTP site by selecting Tools > Global Options > Connection and set "Per site max connections / transfers" to 1 (By default it will be set to 2).
2. Remove items from the Transfer Queue. The Transfer Queue is where you see items ready for transfer, in transit, or just transferred. Sometimes the Queue Pane can become cluttered with unfinished transfers. To clear the queue, right-click inside it and choose Remove All.
Also try using an FTP manager like cuteFTP or something of that sort to see if you can open the connection - it could be related to the FTP settings...

Hope it helps....
