□ 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).
– Problem: Your HP-UX system is not currently reachable on the network.
Solution: Make sure that the your HP-UX system is physically connected
to the network and that there are no network outages or breaks between
your PC and your HP-UX system.
□ ftp: flserver: Unknown host
Possible causes of this error message include:
– Problem: You typed the name of your HP-UX system incorrectly.
Solution: Verify that you entered the name of your HP-UX system correctly
in the open command. Depending on where in your network structure
the system is located with respect to your PC, it might be necessary to fully
qualify the HP-UX system name. For example:
ftp>open flserver
is probably sufficient if your PC is on your local network segment, but a
more fully qualified name, for example:
ftp>open flserver.net2
or
ftp>open flserver.net2.corporate
will likely be needed to access your HP-UX system if it is located elsewhere
in your network (across a router or gateway). If all of the above fail, try
using the IP address of the HP-UX system in place of the name. For
example:
ftp>open 15.nn.xx.100
– Problem: Your HP-UX system is not formally known to your network.
Solution: Make sure that networking services, particularly TCP/IP services
have been properly configured on your HP-UX system. The computer
must have its own, valid IP address, and you must assign it a valid host
name.
