Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1003105.1 : Sun Fire[TM] (3800-6800) FTP login failure while doing flashupdate on a System Controller
PreviouslyPublishedAs 204251 Symptoms When trying to do a flashupdate as root using ftp, users get a message telling them that FTP login failed. Resolution In Solaris[TM] 7 and 8, the ftpusers file is located in /etc. In Solaris[TM] 9 the ftpusers file is located in /etc/ftpd. The ftpusers file contains a list of default users who are denied ftp access for security reasons. This list includes "root". To enable root to have ftp access, simply vi the ftpusers file and insert a # in front of root. This should enable you to do the flashupdate via ftp. For security reasons, you should uncomment root from the ftpusers file once the flashupdate is completed. Refer to the manpage on ftpusers for additional details.Product Sun Fire 3800 Server Sun Fire 6800 Server Sun Fire 4800 Server Internal Comments This document is a Normalized Resolution Path and is managed by the MidRange Server Group's Domain Engineer. * Please send any feedback on this resolution path to [email protected] the document ID in the subject line. * Do not update this document without first contacting the feedback email alias.
