Dear All
I have one Solaris8 on Sparc platform that I tried to install
'ncftpd-2.8.6-solaris8-sparc-export.tar.gz' on it but unsuccessful. At
now its original ftp is no longer working correctly. I have Solaris8
on Sparc installation CD so I try to add it again as :
#pkgadd -d /cdrom/sol_8_202_sparc/s0/Solaris_8/Product/SUNWftpr
But it cannot recover it. Can you please correct me?
Thank you

Should be like pkgadd -d directorywithpackages packagename .
xxxx.tar.gz is a compressed tarball (source code) and can't be installed
using pkgadd.
This one has to be unzipped, untared, compiled and maked first.

I found my mistake in issuing the pkgadd command. At now the SUNWftpr
& SUNWftpu packages have been re-installed but still the ftp service
cannot get through. Can you please let me know if I have chosen the
right package for this purpose?
Thank you

What do you mean with "cannot get through" ?
Are there error messages? Can you call ftp from commandline?

The OP installed ncftp's ncftpd ftp daemon instead of ncftp's
ncftp ftp client.

Whoops.

The OP needs to pkgrm(1M) the ncftpd package.
Then the OP needs to reconfigure Sun's ftpd.
The inetd.conf magic should be documented in the Solaris 8
manuals on docs.sun.com.
