ftp fails
The files are in /export/home/username and I want to move them across the network to a new server -- soon to be an LDAP Directory server. I ftp'd from the new server, solaris 10, to the nis/dns/nfs/ftp server, solaris 9.
Would it be best to use ftp or nfs? I have tried both, but both have failed.
What are the possible causes of the ftp failure? Is more information needed? Any suggestions as to how to handle this? Maybe there's a how-to available?
