ftp not returning from STOR <file>


Hi All,

I've tried searching on this but to no avail so far. Maybe you good people can help?

I'm running a file transfer using the shell client from Linux (RHEL4) to some external box running *nix but not sure of the o/s details. Similarly I don't know what the FTP server software is at t'other end...

However, everything works fine until I try shipping a file of between 10 and 11 Mb, when it hangs on the STOR command having sent the whole file (checked the file size at both ends are the same). It seems to work fine for smaller files (a few Kb). I'm using .netrc to log in.

This behaves the same regardless of whether I run it interactively or via a script.

See debug output below:

/home/oracle/scripts/export> ftp -d
ftp> open data.xxxx.info
Connected to data.xxxx.info.
220 Matrix WSA FTP

500 'AUTH': command not understood.

ftp> put extract20090603.txt
local: extract20090603.txt remote: extract20090603.txt
---> TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
ftp: setsockopt (ignored): Permission denied

227 Entering Passive Mode (77,68,53,120,19,66).
---> STOR extract20090603.txt
150 Opening data connection for extract20090603.txt.

The 150 is the last line output - and it hangs like this (after the file has been completely copied) for over an hour (then I get bored and kill it).

Has anyone seen anything like this before and if so discovered why? Any help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
Keith.

Hi grepmasterd,

We can't use active as the server is outside our firewall. Thanks for the suggestion, tho'.

keefo.
