Enable the FTP or sFTP on VNX arrays

Whats logs ?

what's in the logs ?  server_log server_2

login to the control station and run:

server_log server_2

look for events around the time you were trying to start FTP service.

Hi ,

I figure out somethingh while logging to File Storage (Control Station) via Unisphere

It has given me the option to enable the FTP_ Server2 and FTP _Server3

But it asked me to reeboot the Server

Please suggest do i have to reebot them

and does it affects File system shares........

you should no need to restart datamover to enable ftp.

server_ftp server_2 -service start

Please verify the Command (server_ftp server_2-service start)

Is not to reebot the control station

&

After running this on the control station

i got the output

server_ftp server_2 -service start

server_2 :

Error 2100: usage: server_ftp { | ALL }

you don't need to reboot datamovers (you realize you starting the serivce on the datamover and not on the control station).

use the document i pointed you to in the other thread
