I know this has been discussed before and someone could say RFTM, which I
would answer "which manual?", but.....
 
 
I am trying to FTP from our HP9000 to one of our HP3000.  I get connection
 refused.  I have looked in the SERVICES.NET.SYS and the entry is there
for FTP on port 21.
 
Any ideas?
 
Alan,
 
Assuming that the FTP listener is running (which is culprit #1), then make darn sure
that the logon information is in the order expected by MPE:
 
Username:  USER.ACCOUNT
Password:  USERPASS,ACCTPASS
 
This is usually culprit #2 - where an invalid logon is provided...and the biggest
problem is either a misspelled password (either or both) and/or a missing comma
between the passwords.  If there is no user password, the comma is still necessary.
 
Best,
Joe Geiser
