Hi,

We are testing using v1.9 on Solaris 9 with Sun Blade-100 hardware. I logged into a particular ftp server which uses ftp active connection. I tried the same command under my HP-UX client and my windows 2000 PC client to access the ftp server. It seems UNIX host is fine while my PC lost connection with the ftp server. Here is what I did and what I got:

From Windows 2000 PC client under DOS command prompt:

c:\> ftp ftp-proxy.liz.com (my ftp proxy server)
Connected to ftp-proxy.liz.com.
220 smtp3 FTP server (Version 1.9 - 2002/05/02 15:14:55) ready.
User (ftp-proxy.liz.com:(none)): ftp@208.7.93.233
331 Password required for ftp.
Password:
230 User ftp logged in.
ftp> ls khlapp997.0858371010
200 PORT command successful.
550 khlapp997.0858371010: No such file or directory
ftp> bin
426 Connection closed; transfer aborted.
421 Service not available, closing control connection.
ftp> quit
530 Not logged in.

From HP-UX client:

$  ftp ftp-proxy.liz.com (my ftp proxy server)
Connected to ftp-proxy.liz.com.
220 smtp3 FTP server (Version 1.9 - 2002/05/02 15:14:55) ready.
User (ftp-proxy.liz.com:(none)): ftp@208.7.93.233
331 Password required for ftp.

Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls khlapp997.0858371010
200 PORT command successful.

226-Transfer complete.

ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.

As we see here, if the file is not there on the ftp server, PC client is being disconnected while UNIX client is still connected. Does anyone know why this happens? Attacheed is the output from proxy server log, one is from PC client and one is from UNIX client. Thanks in advance.
