Unable to perform FTP from Window to OpenSolaris

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi All,

I installed OpenSolaris and I try to do FTP from window to opensolaris via WinSCP 3.7.6 then I am getting the following error--

Couldn't agree a client-to-server cipher(available: aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour128,arcfour256,arcfour)

Please provide me your valuable ideas,sothat I can resolve it.

Thanks in Advance..

You've probably selected the wrong protocol. The output indicates that you've tried to connect using either SFTP or SCP, not FTP.

port 20 and port 21

windows: telnet localhost 20
windows: telnet localhost 21

o.solaris: telnet localhost 21
o.solaris: telnet localhost 20

o.solaris: telnet windows 21
windows: telnet o.solaris 21

connection closed means it's not started. Check /etc/services, check windows firewall.

WinSCP 3.7.6 is doing SFTP and/or SCP in your case. The issue is the version you are using has cyphering compatibilities issues with OpenSolaris.
You might want to update to a newer WinSCP release with which that issues doesn't exists.
