Systems are unable to use IPv6 during file transfer through FTP
Hi,
I have configured two machines through ipsec-tools and fedora linux kernel 2.6.18.2 to make them communicating by using IPv6 and IPsec. For testing, I have tried to send packets through ping6 and FTP (vsftpd-1.1.3-8 ) and analysed the packets through ethereal. . When I use ping6, IPv6 is used for communication and packet is also encrypted as it is using ESP. When I send a file through FTP, it uses IPv4 rather than IPv6. Any suggestions or comments that why it is not using IPv6 during file transfer through FTP Regards, |
I am using FTP server VSFTPD (vsftpd-2.0.1-5.i386) and I have also configured it for IPv6.
The guideline that I have used is in the following link http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/we...?ca-dgr-lnxw06 Section "Configuring the Linux FTP server vsftpd for IPv6" It is also mentioned in the following link as well http://antwort.42h.de/archives/11-Ip...th-vsftpd.html The client and server machines are also IPv6 enabled as I am using Fedora linux Kernel 2.6.18.2. During upgrading the kernel version, I have enabled all IPv6 options in 'make xconfig' step But the problem still exists. Any suggestions |
"500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_bind" error occured after FTP connection
I think the FTP client itself is not IPv6 enabled ...so I have installed lukemftp-1.6-beta2 ftp client which is IPv6 enabled. After installation, I have used the following command to connect to ftp
..]# ftp6 fe80::250:bfff:fe38:26f3%eth0 It connects to the ftp server successfully but when I tried to list the file through ls command I got the following error 500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_bind 500 OOPS: child died 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. I am using vsftpd-2.0.1-5.i386 ftp server. Amy suggestions why I am getting this error |
