I am trying to FTP a file from the Mainframe to the PC and I'm receiving
this error:

Connection refused.

Where do I find out what this means "(1128.769F0442) - EDC8128I Connection

Carol,

Is there an FTP server running on the pc you're trying to get to? I think that you'll get this if there is no FTP server running at the target IP address.

Is there an FTP server on the PC in question? If not, that will cause this
problem. If there is, it may be that the server is configured to only accept
requests from specific IP addresses, or configured to reject requests from
specific IP addresses. IOW - we need more information, which require talking
to the person who owns the ftp server.

And it appears that you are trying to send the data from the PC to the
mainframe (GET), not from the mainframe to the PC (PUT).

Carol,

A couple other things you can check on. You mentioned in another post that your support folks indicated there is an FTP server on that pc.

1) Is the FTP server started?
2) Did they define the ftp server to listen on a non-standard IP port?

I assume that you're getting this on the initial connect to the pc, right? If that's the case, then either the FTP server service is not started, or their using a different port.

If they are using a different port for the FTP server to listen on then you're ip address parms on the mainframe will change to

ip-address:ip-port

Is there some sort of firewall between the two systems which is restricting
the data flow? I know that we do have such here (I.e. ftps must go through
an intermediate system in a "DMZ" between the two system. System#1 does a
PUT to the DMZ ftp server, system#2 then does a GET from that same server.
This is supposed to be more secure since neither system can access the other
one directly.)

Can MVS do a "ping" on the ftp server? Can you do an ftp from your desktop
to both the MVS system and the PC ftp server? Just some questions. I don't
know if the answers will help or not.

Have them run a netstat on the PC and verify there is something listening on
port 21. From this, it looks like the FTP server is not running on the PC
as others have suggested.

Carol,

I know what you PC guy is telling you, but if you are running a Windows
product
there is NO built-in FTP server. Windows has the client built-in, so you
could
initiate an FTP from your workstation to the mainframe, and then GET the
desired file from the mainframe and save it on your PC. There are many
shareware FTP servers available, but alot of companies frown on
individual users installing this software on their workstations.

Hope this helps.

Dave

I'll vouch for that. I recently upgraded my PC to WinXP (or it might have
been 2000 - I did the two upgrades in quick succession) and the FTP server
was installed along with a Telnet server and IIS web server and two of them
were actually active by default. I didn't find out they were active until
I reinstalled ZoneAlarm several days later. In the meantime, the IIS log
showed several attempts were made to access possible vulnerabilities while
I was connected on my dial-up.

Not necessarily true. There is an FTP server available for Win/NT (and I assume for Win/2000).
It was part of Windows but an optional part of the installation. I didn't do the installation so
don't know the details (and can't even find the stupid thing on my PC), but use it fairly regularly.

In addition, there are several non-M$ FTP servers available for Windows workstations.

Carol,
If there is an FTP server running on the PC someone may be able to find some log on the PC
that will help debug this. There really isn't much you can learn from the client side for this
kind of error. Typically, you wouldn't want the client to know why a connection was refused;
that would be information a cracker could use to circumvent security.

And, of course, compare the results with telnet to port 21
of a known good FTP server.

BUT, don't try this with a mainframe telnet client. They're
all broken. For example:

Solaris client as experimental control:

pg@sweng:200$ telnet Solaris 13
Trying 129.80.122.149...
Connected to Solaris.stortek.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Thu Jan 2 18:00:11 2003
Connection closed by foreign host.
pg@sweng:201$

... z/OS client:

telnet Solaris 13
EZA8200I MVS TCP/IP TELNET CS V1R2
EZA8256I Connecting to APPLSRV1 129.80.122.149, port 13
***
EZA8265I Using Line Mode...

EZA8267I Notes on using Telnet when in Line Mode:
EZA8268I - To hide Password, Hit PF3 or PF15
EZA8269I - To enter Telnet Command, Hit PF4-12, or PF16-24
***
EZA8246E Telnet terminated -- No such connection (8543)
READY

... someday, when I'm in a really bad mood, I'll start an
ETR on this. Probably WAD.

I don't understand why you demonstrated this with port 13 when you

the TSO TELNET clients on OS/390 2.5 and 2.9 and it worked for me --
I got the ftp server prompt and can issue user, pass, and help commands.

I chose port 13 simply because it's the simplest protocol I could
think of -- no secondary port for data; not even any command to
issue; just connect and see the data. You're right; 21 would have
been more germane.

I stand corrected (I tried only QUIT; I'll trust you on the others).

> > ... someday, when I'm in a really bad mood, I'll start an

I also tried:

o Port 25: successful connection; able to issue HELO command.

o Port 37: same EZA8246E failure as Port 13.

o Port 80: session hung; needed to get operator to cancel.

I'll stand by my assertion that TSO and CMS TELNETs are broken
(I first discovered the problem on CMS), at least for some
protocols.
