I just noticed the sockerr 64... does this happen after a timeout of more than a few seconds? IOW, is this instantaneous, or does it take a minute or three? If the former, than the server is rejecting the connection, probably by some mechanism, such as inetd.sec. If the latter, than it's more likely a network latency problem. This can be explored by pinging with larger packet sizes, and noticing any abnormal delays or lossage. I would be surprised if you got this error from an attempt to connect to a system NOT running an ftp server. You can test this by deliberately trying to ftp to your desktop, or a non-production system known NOT to run ftp. -----Original Message----- From: KENT WALLACE [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 1:30 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FTP to Novell box on local network from HP3000 Gentle listers: My HP3000 can FTP outside of the LAN(thanks to Denys B.).
