Does anyone have experience setting up anonymous FTP on a System V machine? I am working on an AT&T 3B2 under version 3.1, and am having some difficulty. The home directory for the ftp login is /usr/ftp, and that tree looks like this: directories files ----------- ------------ ftp/bin ls sh ftp/etc group passwd ftp/shlib libc_s ftp/pub The protections are fine (for argument's sake, I made them all 777). I can log in as 'anonymous' just fine, but when I try to get a directory, ftp returns the error "data socket not created (0.0.0.0,0)". I can perform the steps that the manual says ftp goes through myself without problems: chroot to the home directory and run ls. Any help will be very much appreciated, Richard Silverman arpa: rsilverman@eagle.wesleyan.edu Wesleyan University bitnet: rsilverman@wesleyan Middletown, CT CIS: [72727,453] 06457

I am working on an AT&T 3B2 under version 3.1, and am having >some difficulty.... I've never seen quite the problem you describe, but I know of a similar problem. When using anon ftp on a 3B2 with SysV3.1 and WIN3B/1.1, I would log in as you did, but trying to look at the directory never produced a response, or I should say the response was always as if there was nothing in the directory at all. Well anyway, the "fix" which I accidentally discovered was to place in the ftp bin directory an "ls" from a 3b15 running SysV2.1.2. Worked just fine. The AT&T solution was to buy the upgrade to WIN3B. Your problem reminds me of a protected (chroot) environment a friend created for tftpd, so that a Proteon router on campus could do an auto-boot from it. The thing he originally overlooked but later discovered was that he had to have a tftp/dev directory with a network device(s) in it. Don't know if this might apply to your situation or not. -- Scott Hammond, R & D Associates, Marina del Rey, CA (213) 822-1715 : {sdcrdcf,zardoz}!rdahp!scott : rdahp!scott@sm.unisys.com : scott@harris.cis.ksu.edu
