My apologies if this goes in twice.

We have a client who only uses ftp for file transfers. On our Unix server I can use the following at the command line and I can access the client ftp server. How can I use this in a script?

ftp ftpproxy <enter>
userid@host <enter>
password <enter>

Hello,
We have a vendor who doesn't use sftp so we have to setup a ftp connection and encrypt the file. At the command prompt on a unix server I can type the following, ftp ftpproxy <enter>; userid@host <enter>; password <enter> and I'm connected. How can I add this to a script?

Thanks

Jean

This error appears when the FTP control connection is initialized from IP1 and the data connection is initialized from IP2 for PASSIVE FTP.

In these cases vsftpd detects that IP1 and IP2 are different so it terminates the connection.

TO disable this check, add

Code:

pasv_promiscuous=YES

to vsftpd.conf and restart it.

Man quote:

pasv_promiscuous
Set to YES if you want to disable the PASV security check that ensures the data connection originates from the same IP address ...
