i'm using aix version 6 .

Can any one let me know the seetings needs to be made so that i can access the files in them from texteditors like editplus etc...

Perhaps one client is passive y default and there is a firewall, one ftp is really sftp (putty), or some similar impediment, that the two ftp clients do not have equal access from the same host. Try the browser ftp://user:password@host/ URL. Maybe there is only sftp (sshd) not ftp. Can you ftp on aix to itself?

Since you said you can access the ftp server using the putty client, most likely you mean: psftp

> psftp -h
PuTTY Secure File Transfer (SFTP) client
Release 0.60

If so, then in your other client you need to setup the target host as a "sftp" connection.
