Or in a branded zone?

I don't have any Solaris10 on Sparc at hand at now , but will try for
it in the near future.BTW, I had ftp service on my Solaris8 Sparc and
then I tried to install 'ncftpd-2.8.6-solaris8-sparc-export.tar.gz' on
it but un-successful. After that, I saw the previous ftp service is no
longer working. I have the Solaris8 for Sparc installation CD at hand.
Can you please let me know how to recover my previous ftp service from
it?
Thank you

You might consider looking into using a .netrc file. Granted, your
login credentials will be stored in plain text but that could provide
you another option to look into. On my Solaris 10 box, I can run "man
netrc" to get the appropriate man page.

Hi,

Create a ~/.netrc file which will allow you to define multiple ftp site,
with an associated set of commands which allow to create a
timed ftp script

eg

=================== .netrc ===================

machine ftp.rs.internic.net login anonymous password myname(a)email.co.uk

macdef init
lcd /var/named
cd domain
bin
prompt off
get named.root
!chmod 644 named.root
bye

=================== .netrc ===================

When a users wants to get the named.root file for dns

$ ftp ftp.rs.internic.net
$

all the commands are run.


The timed-ftp script below was used to access virus pattern data files
but due to heavy load the ftp session hung some times which resulted in
numerous ftp sessions. The script prevented this problem, I also used it
to ftp files over VPN links which failed due to problems at the
destination site.

=================== timed-ftp.sh =================

#!/bin/sh
# ftp transfer typically takes 3 minutes to complete,
#
#
# 2004-04-26 - Modified to work with supplied ftp site via command line
#

#
#

if [ -z "${1}" ]; then
echo "usage: timed-ftp.sh <ftp site> <minutes - default 30>"

ftp_update()

while [ ${FTP_LOOP} -gt 0 -a `cat ${FTP_UPDATE}` != ${FTP_STATUS_OK} ]; do
sleep ${FTP_CHECK_SECONDS}
FTP_LOOP=`expr ${FTP_LOOP} - 1`
done
echo "root : checking for hung ftp transfer"

# kill ftp process, record kill status and remove in progress file
FTP_STATUS=`cat ${FTP_UPDATE}`
if [ ${FTP_STATUS} = ${FTP_STATUS_OK} ]; then
