[gftp] gftp and VMS machines
Hi,
I was embarrassed by gftp. It has been impossible to make it work
in Linux (Debian 3.0r1, gftp version 2.0.11 and 2.0.16) conneting to an
alpha machine running VMS. Embarrasing because people using Windows 98 and
ProFTP have no problems.
I disabled the -aL listing options, which is not liked by this old VMS ftp
server version. I also disabled passive transfers. All these disabled
options are part of the suggestions made in the FAQ.
When I login to the VMS machine the log says,
LIST
150 Opening data connection for $USER2:[FISSION.RXY103]*.*;* (xxx.xxx.xx.xx,32870)
Warning: Cannot parse listing
Warning: Cannot parse listing Directory $USER2:[FISSION.RXY103]
Warning: Cannot parse listing
Warning: Cannot parse listing TCPIP$FTP_SERVER.LOG;23
...
And no files appear in Windows 2. Any ideas?
Thanks,
