Hi,

First have to check server is working or not.

Check like this in your mechine click on START->RUN->CMD. the command prompt will display then enter the command like this ping IP address of the server ex >ping 192.168.1.98. then it should be display like this reply from 192.168.1.98 . If it is display the above then server is up and running.

If it is up and running then you can connet to the server. here you need to enter appropriate username and password.

Thanks,

Also check on which port your ftp server is pinging is it 21 or 22 or something else.

Use anonymous login as well.

Most of the cases this error occurs when any firewall is acting in between. Check that also.

Rewards if helpful.

Follow the above steps recommended by Chirag.

Try to use File Zilla for easy monitoring.

Hi,

check:

1) pint the ip address from command prompt it should pint to the target ip address.

2) check the FTp ip address in the communication channel try to use only 10.132.54.8.

3) check the loginid and password in comm channel.

4) Check is there any firwall installed in between.

thnx

Hi Jeevan,

You can check whether port is open for your server using telnet command.

Just type following command and press enter, in case of successfull connection it should give you a blank screen or some message from ftp server.

telnet 10.132.54.8 21

If it is giving error like this "A remote host refused an attempted connect operation." then it could be due to port not open for the server.

hope this will help.
