I'm running Interactive's TCP/IP version 1.2 under ISC's 2.2 OS.
I am having trouble with ftp. I'm just trying something simple
like ftp localhost. I get logged in ok, but when I try a command
like ls I get:
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
I've tried and I've tried but I'm still mystified. I just can't
figure out what's not configured correctly (I'm assuming ubd).
rlogin works correctly to localhost as does rsh (just make sure you
use /usr/ucb/rsh instead of /bin/rsh :-)
I'm using the loopback driver. I have no ethernet cards installed.
It's either loopback or SLIP. Using SLIP I get the same error.
Any suggestions or hints greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We eventually tracked it down to the fact that we had more than three entries in the /etc/shells file. Don't ask me why that would cause the problem, but once we changed it, ftp then worked. If you find that this does not fix the problem for you, let me know. >Any suggestions or hints greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For what it's worth, here's my /etc/shells: # # Let's insert some comments, to make getusershell allocate # a bit more memory. Maybe that will help some. # /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/tcsh /bin/bash /bin/ksh And, in response to the comment, that did help. Seems there's a memory allocation bug in getusershell; the comment forces it to allocate more memory, and things work fine now. -- William G.
