[comp.sys.sgi] FTP to VMS systems

dolata@uazchem.UUCP (Dolata) (04/09/88)

I have a 3130, 2400T, and a mVAX II running ULTRIX, and a mVAX II running VMS.
(And a headache!)  All of these machines are hanging on an ethernet, and all
have FTP and TELNET.  I can telnet between all of the machines.  But I
cannot FTP between all of them.  The possible connections are;

	ULTRIX <-> IRIS (both)
	ULTRIX <-> VMS
	VMS -----> IRIS
	IRIS -//-> VMS

When I try to 'open vms' on the IRIS's ftp,  it gives me a "segmentation
violation,  core dumped" message.   However,  if I run ftp on the VMS
system, and 'open iris1' or 'open iris2' it works well.

Any hints, anecdotes, fixes ???

Problem on Iris end implies something wrong on set up of your 3130 kernel.
Make sure it has the proper protocol i.e. possibly TCP/IP. If it is XNS it
has to be changed using "kernel xns" command. 

Other than this your "ifconfig" command line set up seems to be ok as you
can telnet from vms.

No, not at all. It was mentioned that telnet works just fine in both 
directions from all machines. That means that the kernel should be perfectly 
happy chewing on tcp. The problem is more likely in /etc/hosts or tcp 
configuration files on the irises, or in the VMS tcp implementation (whose is
it?).

I didn't see the original posting and don't have enough info to tell what the
problem might be. Feel free to send mail to one of the following addresses if 
the headache persists.
