Hi All,
 
Please help me
 
My requirement is to transfer file from server to server transfer using ftp, since files are located in one server and need to transfer to another server. I am using Apache commons net ftp to transfer files. My application resides in another third server. All the 3 servers(my application, files located server, destination location server) are linux boxes and using vsftp 2.0.1 version for ftp.
 
Since I am from j2ee background i have less idea on ftp.
I need to establish the client/server(2 servers) communication between two servers to transfer file, since my application resides in third server. I could connect to two servers and change to working directory. Problem is I am making one of the server (files located server) to listen the client (destination location server) by making passive command.

 
Below is output of small program

Please help me in setting configurations at vsftp side.

That was really hard to read. We have a "Code" button on our message editor. It wraps tags around pre-formatted text to make it easier to read. Although omitting the escaped HTML would have helped, too.

The ILLEGAL PORT response usually indicates that the firewall of the FTP server needs to be adjusted.

FTP is not necessarily the optimal way of inter-server file transfer, however. If the source and destination servers are both in a secure sub-network, you can use NFS or even CIFS (Windows file sharing). Other options include scp, rsync, and even HTTP file upload.

Education won't help those who are proudly and willfully ignorant. They'll literally rather die before changing.
