Solaris 10 FTP Server

Hi. I am an operator hoping soon to become an administrator. I have been asked to setup a secure FTP server in solaris 10. Could somebody possibly outline the basic stages of what needs to take place. I would be grateful for any info offered. Thanks

Hmm, do you want to setup an ordinary FTP server in a more secure maner, or do you want to use the Secure FTP server which is boundled with SSH?
The FTP server boundled with SSH is on by default, check the man page for sftp .

I'm new to Solaris 10 and need help to setup ftp server

hello!
I just installed Solaris 10 and I'm trying to setup an ftp server (with ftpd) but I don't know how to do that
my server doesn't need any security or authentication
I'm looking for the default shared files directory
Also wondering what to change in what configuration file...
This OS looks quite similar to some linux I used before but the differencies are big enough to drive me crazy
anyway thanks for your help.
Any advice is welcome :-)

cd /etc/ftpd
vi ftpusers
put a # in front of root and any other users that you wish to be able to ftp
then svcadm restart ftp
If you want to set up an anonymous ftp server, there is a little more involvement

Configuring Solaris 8 FTP Server

I am new to solaris 8. Can anyone help me on where to go or what file to edit to configure my ftp server. The main goals that I want to accomplish are to change the default ftp directory and to specify a login password. I would also like to know how to enable ftp upload.
- Thank you

Hi,
If you must log into the ftp server as root for some reason you have to first edit the ftpusers file. This file lists all the users who can not use ftp. The file is found here /etc/ftpusers. If you remove the entry root from this file it will allow root to log into the ftp server.
Hope This Helps.

Install a FTP Server and GUI on Solaris 2.5.1.

Hi All.
I have two questions.
1. What i have to do to install a FTP server on the installed Solaris 2.5.1 ?
2. How can i install GUI on the same system ?
I've installed Solaris on the Sparc Station, but, by default, the GUI was not installed
on it.
And now, when i turn on the power, i see only the command promt on the screen.
How can i fix this "bug":-)
Help me if you can.
Thanks.

1) The Sun provided FTP server should already be installed on the system unless the machine has been installed using a minimal install cluster. You might consider using something like ProFTPd. This is a VERY configuration FTP server and is a much better FTP server then the FTPd that comes with Solaris 2.5.1. See http://www.proftpd.org for more info.
2) This is isn't a bug its actually a requirement for most people for servers in production or even development environments. The X "GUI" chews up a not insignificant amount of memory and proposes a security risk. To reactivate the GUI for startup at boot time, run this as root:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
This of course assumes all the expected CDE/OpenWindows packages are available on the system. I haven't used CDE in years but I think you need to reboot the system to get CDE to startup correctly and grab the console. Not sure if starting it up while you are logged into the console will work.
P.S. CDE is a PPPIIIGGGG. Run something respectible like Fluxbox or Blackbox. Heck, Gnome and KDE are pigs too but they are still better then CDE - twm is better then CDE LOL :)
3) You said "I've installed ..." - I assume this means recently. You might consider upgrading to a more recent release of Solaris. Solaris 2.5.1 is rather "out of date" - this is not troll bait folks.

Can't login to solaris 8 ftp server

I can't login to my solaris 8 ftp server from another computer. When I type in the username (root) and my password (the password I use to login to my CDE), it tells me that the password is incorrect. I am a beginner at this, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

FTP Server have been accessed by Internet Explorer 7

Please,
I have configured a FTP Server on Solaris 9. It is working very well, but yesterday when I tried to connected through my browser Internet Explorer 7 I got a surprise, bad surprise... When I type my user and password the filesystem tree of my server appeared to me... I could see and access all content of root filesystem, instead of only can see the content of my home folder...
Did anyone face this problem????

Hi,
Maybe you missed a step during setup of your anonymous ftp server?

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.

How can i do scheduled automatic backups to an ftp server in ios xr?

Hello guys! As the title says im looking forward to automatically back up my running config on a cisco CRS-1 to an FTP server. I was only able to find this config example:
Configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://A.B.C.D/myconfig.txt
This allows me to save my config to an ftp server everytime i use commit on the device. Now i want to know if there's a way to automatically save my configs everyday at 00:00 and also include the date and time in the name of the file so i don't overwrite the existing files in the ftp server.
I dont want to use any tool i just wanna know if what im asking is possible via CLI commands. I would greatly appreciate your help with this subject.
Regards,
David

Not sure if this script will work on a CRS, but try this:
archive
log config
logging enable
hidekeys
path tftp:///$h-
write-memory
time-period 10080
Explaination:
There are two ways to save your config to your remote station:
1. When someone saves the config; and
2. At an alloted time period, expressed in 10080 (weekly for me).

Java ftp server which can use LDAP, how to integrate with WLS' implementation of LDAP?

Howdy.
I'm setting up a java ftp server
(http://www.mycgiserver.com/~ranab/ftp/index.html) which is capable of using
LDAP for it's user security. I would like to integrate this ftp server with
wls' implementation of LDAP so I only have to admin one user list.
Does wls put it's user list in the LDAP or in it's own proprietary setup? I
tried playing around with it, but the users don't seem to appear in the JNDI
tree. Is this where the LDAP stuff is located? I thought it was in there?
If it's in it's own setup, is there a way to propagate the users to LDAP?
If these look like newbie Q&A, I guess they kind of are, I'm new to LDAP.
Thanks for any input you might have.

Peter,
If you are talking about using the embedded LDAP server in WLS 7.0 for this purpose
I think you are going done the wrong path.
Look at the following URL on how to use an external LDAP server for your custom
application

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

No Data in PDF file in FTP server

Hi All,
I am trying to place a PDF file in FTP server.
Used
CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool to PDF
SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer data to FTP.
I am able to see PDF file in FTP and no of pages matches with that of R/3 but there is no data in PDF file.

To get pdf file , you need to set the itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' and need to pass in the exporting parameter (options in open_form function module ).Then in close_form function module take all the data of otfdata table into an internal table . Then use SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF function module to convert it to pdf.
I will show with an example.

Then open dataset and transfer to ftp of the content of table content_bin(i_content_bin) as shown in above example.
I think this will be helpful for you
