FTP from Windows to Solaris

UNIX Solaris
1

Dear All,

As I am new to Solaris ..I need some help

How is FTP access given from Windows machine to solaris machine.

The scenario is that :

I have a Xp host system and Solaris as my guest OS in my vmware.
I need to tranfer some files from Windows to Solaris.?

I am using WinSCP(third party software for that).But still cant even login into WinSCP with Solaris credentials.I just gives Authentication fail

Is there any settings or configuration I have to do..

Also.I am not able to ping from windows machine to Solairs..But In Solaris I get my Windows pinging...Any suggestions ??

Try this:
Get the ip address of your Solaris server (If you don't have, your System Administrator may help). Then go to this location
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
open the "hosts" file in notepad. make an entry at very end as follows:
<ip adress> <tab> <hostname of server>
for eg
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.164.93.23 tkp-01.svr
Now save the hosts file.
Please note: To make changes to hosts file, you must have complete local admin rights on your PC.
While logging using winSCP, I hope you are using correct port and File protocol.

check the account you are using for ftp in the file :
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers

Add your user in user file list

/etc/ftpd/ftpusers

Set which directory is going to be a shared directory under /export/home/user/directory

restart ftp

scvamd restart ftp

login form windows to solaris using ftp

ftp address of Solaris

login and move you documents to Solaris

This file contains names of users that have the access to FTP service denied.

You need to enable ssh for root.

  1. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config change line PermitRootLogin yes to PermitRootLogin no
    2. Edit /etc/default/login and comment out CONSOLE=/dev/console

  2. Restart the services
    svcadm restart svc:/network/ssh:default

ftp is not sftp, they are seperate services.
