Seeing Problems with Miniftpserver

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 26 Jul 2002

Q:
Out of the blue my miniftpserver is not working. I have run through the list of modules in the SYSTEM directory and Idid not find anything that states NWFTP or FTPD or whatever.

How do I know the miniFTP.nlm (if there is one) is running in theiChain 2.0?

A:
It's a service that is launched by the proxy.nlm. The easiestway of confirming that it is running is by looking at TCPCON->PROTOCOLINFO->TCP->TCP Listeners and verifying if the TCP port 21 is activeand in the LISTEN state.

The ProxyConsole screen that displays servicesshould also display the state of the FTP service. Check if there areany errors reported there.
