If your connection succeeded, proceed to Step 3.
If the connection is not successful ftp will let you know that the
connection failed. The displayed error message will vary depending on
what is the cause of the failed connection:
❏ftp: connect: Connection refused
Possible causes of this error message include:
✓ Problem: The internet daemon (inetd) is not running on your
HP-UX system.
Solution: The real problem is that the ftpd daemon is not
running, but it is usually inetd that starts ftpd on an as-needed
basis. inetd is usually started up when you boot your computer.
If your HP-UX system is in single-user mode you will need to
switch it to a run-level of 2 or higher.
✓ Problem: The ftp daemon (ftpd) is not running.
Solution: Verify that there is a valid entry in the file
/etc/inetd.conf for the ftpd daemon. The entry should look
like this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftp -lconf
Make sure that the entry is not commented out (no “#” in the first
column).
Make the appropriate repairs and use the command
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
to have inetd reread its configuration file.
❏ftp: connect: Connection timed out
Possible causes of this error message include:
✓ Problem: Your HP-UX system is not currently running.
Solution: Make sure your HP-UX system is turned on, and
running (the system has been booted).
