FTP access   
Hi,

I am working on Windows XP and QNX is running virtually by VMWare.I want some files to be copied from windows to QNX, 
for which i thought of using FTP.
I am the root user to QNX, in /etc/inetd.conf file the line ftp
is not commented,in /etc/ftpusers file the line root is not commented.
When i try to connect from QNX the connection is getting refused.
Both are connected in the network, i can ping them.
When i try to connect to from QNX it says connection refused.

Regards
Sreesha

Re: FTP access   
AS long as you are using IDE, why don't you like to use Target File 
System Navigator for file transferring between host and target?  Just 
run qconn on the target.
About FTP: did you run inetd or at least ftpd on your QNX machine?

Re: FTP access   
hi,
Thank you for letting me know about Taget File Navigator.
I want to use FTP for transferring the files to the board which i am going to connect. I have executed inetd.
When i try to connect FTP by setting the ipaddress of the windows machine it says connection refused. Is there any way 
to make FTP working?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Sreesha

Re: FTP access   
If you want to initialize FTP session from target (QNX machine), you 
should run a sort of FTP server on your Windows machine. It is not a 
standard part of OS.

Re: FTP access   
I noticed that you mentioned in /etc/ftpusers that root was uncommented.

It needs to be commented in order to work, if you want root allowed for ftp access to your target.

I had similar situation just now, I added a # in front of root in /etc/ftpusers, then

1. slay inetd
2. inetd
(/etc/inetd.conf has ftp uncommented to work like you said)

ftpusers is a file of users *disallowed* any ftp access.

Then you can use ftp://root@x.x.x.x (your target's IP) from Windows XP to access and copy files.

Cheers,
Andy
