Here at UTexas @ Austin, we have just obtained the FUSION package from
Network Research Corporation for the IBM PC. I've been working with it,
but have been unable to get the FTP server to work properly for it. The
user FTP and Telnet work, but not the FTP server. Here are the
symptoms: You can connect to the server and get this message:
220 Machine_Name FUSION FTP server (Version 3.1.7) ready.
The trouble starts when you try to log in. Before starting the server,
you set the PC-DOS environment variable F_USER=xxx where "xxx" is the
name which FUSION is to use as your user name. After connecting to the
server, if you try to log in as "xxx", a deadlock occurs. Under 4.2 BSD
FTP, you can use interrupt to break the deadlock, but the server does
acknowledge that the USER command was ever received. It simply acts as
if nothing has happened. If you try to log in as something other that
"xxx", then you get this message:
530 User yyy unknown.
You can log in as user anonymous and things will work as expected. You
can transfer files, etc. There are no access restrictions, since PC-DOS
doesn't know about file ownership.
I have been unable to find documentation about this in the manuals sent
with FUSION, and it really doesn't matter, since guest login is
available. I am simply asking this out of curiosity.
Thanks in advance for any info...
