Re: cygwin 2.78.2.9: ftp doesn't connect

[Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma]

OK, I'm upgraded now.  Thank!

ftp works, but only if I disable ZoneAlarm firewall.
ZoneAlarm does ask whether to grant access to ftp.exe,
but nothing happens thereafter.  Is cooperation with firewalls
something which requires extra stuff on the part of cygwin, or
would it be a problem with ZoneAlarm?

That's the Cygwin subversion.  You can see it when using setup.exe.
You should update to the latest versions using setup.exe.  You are
not using the latest stuff.  As I said (and as has been announced
on this list and cygwin-announce), the latest versions are
cygwin-1.3.4-4 and inetutils-1.3.2-15.  Both contain important
bug fixes which could resolve your problem.

Probably with ZoneAlarm due to the way ftp works.  After
authentication type `passive' to enter passive mode and
try if that works.

Re: cygwin 2.78.2.9: ftp doesn't connect

[Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma]

Actually, it never gets to the point of authentication, it just
times out after never connecting.  After it times out, I tried

    passive on
    open The.Desired.Host

It still times out.

Anyway, it's not critical, I can open up a DOS window to do that.

Thanks for looking at it.

FIWI, I also have ZoneAlarm, I never disable it to run anything Cygwin, 
and I do not have this problem.  I assume you DID answer "Yes" to allow 
the connection and CHECK the "Remember this decision" box, yes?

Also, make sure the FTP you're picking up is the Cygwin FTP not the 
FTP.EXE in %WinDir%.  Other than that, I do it all the time.

Hi, David,

Yes, I did grant permission, and asked ZA to remember it.
And I tried the DOS ftp, it works fine.  A "type" showed that
I was picking up the cygwin ftp.  I'll upgrade ZA to see.  Just
haven't had time....been a steep learning curve trying to learn
stuff to install iverilog,....cygin, mingw, gtkwave, iverilog, bash,
makefiles, different make installations, VNC &tightVNC in case
it all doesn't come together and I have to access the big machines
for verilogXL...I have to take a haitus from it all to do stuff that
I'm here for, because theflames are raging in that department.

Thanks.

Re: cygwin 2.78.2.9: ftp doesn't connect

[Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma]

RE: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg00571.html

Hi, Corinna,

It looks like I have inetutils 1.3.2 and cygwin 1.3.3 .

The top of /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README says:

     This package is the actual port of inetutils-1.3.2 to Cygwin 1.3.2.

     The base of that release is the port of Sergey Okhapkin.

     Some additional patches are done to allow smooth working with
     the current cygwin release and especially Windows NT service manager
     and NT security.

     Version 1.3.2-14: Revert most of the Cygwin specific patches of the initial
                       port of rshd. Change the waiting select to check child
                       state repeatedly to avoid hanging after child's death.

     Version 1.3.2-13: Keep current environment when starting a child process
                       from rshd, except for settings for "USER", "PATH" and
                       "SHELL".

A "uname -a" gives:

     CYGWIN_ME-4.90 FMACOOP-1 1.3.3(0.46/3/2) 2001-09-12 23:54 i686 unknown

Couldn't find info on how to get the "dash" part of the version number (looked in FAQ,
cygwin manual's TOC, and mailing list search), but I downloaded the most recent version
as of just under a month ago and installed the whole thing is one shot.  Please let me
know if more information is needed, and thanks for looking into this.

That's the version number of the setup tool, not the version
number of Cygwin or inetutils.  The latest setup is version 
2.78.2.15, Cygwin is 1.3.4-4, inetutils is 1.3.2-15.  Which
are you using?

OK, I'm upgraded now.  Thank!

ftp works, but only if I disable ZoneAlarm firewall.
ZoneAlarm does ask whether to grant access to ftp.exe,
but nothing happens thereafter.  Is cooperation with firewalls
something which requires extra stuff on the part of cygwin, or

Re: cygwin 2.78.2.9: ftp doesn't connect

[Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma]

Actually, it never gets to the point of authentication, it just
times out after never connecting.  After it times out, I tried

    passive on
    open The.Desired.Host

It still times out.

Anyway, it's not critical, I can open up a DOS window to do that.

Thanks for looking at it.

Probably with ZoneAlarm due to the way ftp works.  After
authentication type `passive' to enter passive mode and
try if that works.

Hmm.  OK, I shall upgrade my zonealarm and try again.  I have the free
version 2.6.231 .  Strange that ftp from DOS is not affected though.  I'll
check it out.  Thanks....

That's the version number of the setup tool, not the version
number of Cygwin or inetutils.  The latest setup is version 
2.78.2.15, Cygwin is 1.3.4-4, inetutils is 1.3.2-15.  Which
are you using?

cygwin 2.78.2.9: ftp doesn't connect

[Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma]

Hello,

I've installed cygwin 2.78.2.9 on my WinME machine,
Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop.  It works great, still going
through the pains of getting CAD tools installed.

In the process, I tried to ftp some test files from the
solaris network that I'm attached to.  ftp program
works, but never connects; the connection times out.
This is cygwin's ftp (/usr/bin/ftp), as opposed to the
windows ftp (which connects fine).  Windows ping
can ping the remote host (there is no cygwin ping).

The cygwin FAQ question index and the manual
Table of Conents do not show anything on ftp, and
a search of the cygwin mailing list turns up no threads
with "ftp" in the subject, at least on the 1st page (internal
server error prevent viewing 2nd page or beyond).
A quick perusal of the postings on the 1st page didn't
show anything that apparently relates to this ftp
error.

If anyone can suggest what can be done to track
down the cause, or even to let me know not to bother,
I'd be grateful.  Thanks.

Fred
