ftp server on linux to send files or receive files from client rather than other way round

Samprat — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:28:32 -0500

Hi Guys,
SERVER -> Linux Fedora 12
DUT -> could be based on any platform.
. I want to test the DUT for transferring of files to and from server.

I can easily test the scenario when client wants to upload and download the files from the server.

What I want is suppose there is a GUI on server side and executing command on GUI , the server automatically sends the file to the client side and record the download or upload logs . I don't want client to initiate the transaction.

is this is possible ?

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks and regards,
Sam

Is there any advantage in using an FTPd in a chroot environment over using SFTP that is standard with SSHd?

Slow ftp login/authentication

sayan_acharjee — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:18:12 -0400

Hi all, When I'm trying to login to the ftp server with appropriate username and password its taking almost 10-15 seconds to authenticate making the login process slow, even when I'm uploading files its again hanging for 10-15 seconds before completing the job successfully. Its not like its happening every time, but 7 times out of 10. Any idea how can make the authentication fast?

I'm using gftp to connect to the ftp server, while connecting it hangs after showing this message:
