The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I enable FTP on Solaris 10

Asked by stmpunix in Sun Solaris, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Unix Networking

Tags: Solaris, Solaris, 10

I am trying to ftp to a sparc server running Solaris 10 from another of the same. However, the target server refuses the connection.
The ftp service was disabled so I enabled it and checked  the services stack (see below)
# svcs -l ftp
fmri         svc:/network/ftp:default
name         FTP server
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Fri Feb 29 09:29:13 2008
restarter    svc:/network/inetd:default
I also restarted the network
# svcs -l ftp
fmri         svc:/network/ftp:default
name         FTP server
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Fri Feb 29 09:29:13 2008
restarter    svc:/network/inetd:default


I also restarted the network


# svcs -l svc:/network/inetd:default
fmri         svc:/network/inetd:default
name         inetd
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Fri Feb 29 09:29:11 2008
logfile      /var/svc/log/network-inetd:default.log
restarter    svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
contract_id  4312
dependency   require_any/error svc:/network/loopback (online)
dependency   require_all/error svc:/system/filesystem/local (online)
dependency   optional_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online)
dependency   optional_all/error svc:/network/rpc/bind (online)
dependency   optional_all/none svc:/network/inetd-upgrade (disabled)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/milestone/sysconfig (online) svc:/milestone/name-services (online)

I have checked that the user I am running is NOT in the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file. Other than creating banner.msg file all the other files in /etc/ftpd are as they were from installation.

Any clues! ideas! etc on where I am going wrong here.? Anything appreciated (within reason)
