Passive ftp on Solaris?
2007-12-25 0:05:00
I am trying to use ftp through a firewall. Like any good firewall should, I am not allowed to transfer data through a random port generated by the server I am trying to reach. I was told that I can use passive ftp to solve this problem. If I am not mistaken I should be able to simply type "(passive) or (pssv)" once I am connected to the end server. All I am getting is a return of "Invalid command?" when I attempt this. "Help" shows no entry for either command as well.
The clients I am attempting to connect from are on a variety of Solaris OS's. 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. This works on none of these.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a package I need to install? Is passive ftp supported on Solaris?
<EXAMPLE>
#ftp endserver
Name (client:username): username
331 Password required for username.
Password: examplepsswd
230 User username logged in
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> passive
invalid command?
ftp> pssv
Invalid command?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
