I have ibm aix server the ports data to a netware server which was upgraded from 4.11 to 5.1 last weekend. Now the data doesn't go over to the server anymore, but I can do it manually from the Unix Server to the novell server. Anyone have any clues? The unix server sends it via tcp/ip and uses port 6013 to send it. Do you think the upgrade did something to the services file in Novell. I stopped and started the nwftpd.nlm and that didn't do it....... I'm a unix and nt guru not novell. appreciate any help on this.

Thank you,

The port should not make a difference. If you are using FTP, the data port should be negotiated automatically.

If you manually ftp from the aix box to the Novell box, is the process the same? (Check your keystrokes versus what your script does.) Is the server now prompting for password automatically and you are sending a pass command, for example? (There is a switch on the ftp command to force this behavior.)

Did the mode default change between versions? Are you defaulting to passive nowwhere you were not before, or vice-versa?

Seems silly to ask, but did the username/password you were using change or get lost in the upgrade?

Good luck.
