- This one is driving me nuts.. If anyone has any idea as to what is going
- on I would be really happy. This is the set up.
-
- A Mac application that talks to a specific server on a variety of Unix
- platforms. It works fine on everything. Part of this application's
- function is to perform file transfers, it uses ftp. This works on ALL
- configurations except ONE! What happens on this one is as follows:
-
- The application is connected and happy. It wants to perform a file
- transfer so it establishes a connection to the FTP well-known-port using
- MacTCP. The connection is created and I go for an ActiveOpen. This
- returns mac error -23015 which, translated, means: The connection came up
- halfway and then failed.
-
- Why why why WHY!!!!!!!!! If I run other mac applications that use ftp
- protocols it works all right. Is there some negotiation going on between
- the TCP peers that is failing? Is there something at the UNIX end? Is
- there something I should tell someone?
-
- Aaaaaarrrrrgh.
-
- I am posting this to comp.sys.mac.comm, comp.unix.programmer,
- comp.unix.admin and comp.unix.bsd. Any and all help is greatly
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks
