It turns out I did not have an FTP problem, I had a switch problem.<br />
I noticed when pinging the other systems from the Linux system I was losing packets.<br />
When I connected the Linux system to the other switch everything worked fine.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the recommendations anyhow.<br />
They are very useful.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Red Hat 7.1 server. &nbsp;I cannot FTP into the RH7.1 server I get a message 530 Login incorrect.<br />
I can receive files if I use FTP from the RH7.1 server but I cannot SEND files from the RH7.1 server.<br />
When attempting to send files from the RH7.1 server a zero length file is put on the receiving server but no data is ever copied to the receiving server and the FTP process on the RH7.1 server hangs.<br />
<br />
This is on an internal network with no outside connections so security is not a concern here.<br />
I also tried sftp with no success.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
TIA,<br />

FTP on Red Hat 7.1 Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The File Transfer Program (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network. Built on a client-server model architecture, it separates control and data connections between the client and the server. Users may access the server through a sign-in protocol, typically in the form of a username and password.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
