VNX5300 FTP

What's the problem ?

If you are using CIFS user credentials then these users would typically created on your domain controller.

You can also use Unix (NIS/LDAP) users or you create them as local users on the data mover (blade) with server_user

I am having the same issue and not having any luck with the Celerra MMC to create users.

I am using the server_user to create a test user.  I set the password and am unable to login with that user account through FTP.

Is there a GUI to create user acounts, or is it all command line?

whats your setup ?

2 DataMovers 1 VDM

CIFS servers? AD member or standalone ?

Yes we have CIF servers.  All CIF servers are members of our domain.

VDMs?

Yes 1 VDM

NFS in use?

Yes it is Enabled.

NIS or LDAP being used ?

Not sure, how would I check that?

Do you get this after the login / password prompt ?

What does server_ftp server_2 -service –stats say ?

Are you really ftp’ing to the IP address of your data mover CIFS server ?

Yes and get this message....

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Connection failed.

Did you try domain\username or username@domain as a login with your Windows password ?

Yes it is.  I verified it with that command

Is the ftp service running ? – see:

$ server_ftp server_2 -service -status

server_2 : done

State : running

Are you using ftp or sftp or ftps ?

Standard FTP is enabled from the Network settings.....port 20 and 21

That explains it

If you are ftp’ing to the control station than this server_ftp config doesn’t apply.

The control station runs Linux so it would be configured using standard Linux commands.

For security reasons ftp is disabled on the CS – you can use sftp there

If you want to get to the data on the data movers / blades then you need to ftp to an IP that is on the data mover and NOT to the CS

Yes I get this after a login prompt.

here is the output from the stats command....

I am FTPing to the IP of the Control Station.  Is that what I need to be doing or do I need to setup a CIF server specifically for FTP?

That's good to know, thanks so much for your help.

So I have a CIF server that I can use which has a different IP than the control station.  Is there anything in particular that I need to do to get FTP working on that CIF server's IP.  When I FTP to the CIF server IP and use mydomain\username, password I get Access Denied.

Any idea why I would be getting Access Denied?
