Title: ftp quick query
Post by: Calum on 14 November 2002, 03:13

not a problem, not important, just a little query, what does the following mean?

Code: [Select]

i mean it's obvious what it means but why do i get this when connecting using linux and i get no errors when using ftp.exe in windows 2000? just curious, as it works fine in every way. The server is FreeBSD by the way, not sure if that means anything...

Your FTP client is Kerberos enabled. It tries to use Kerberos to authenticate first and when it finds that the server is unable to authenticate you via kerberos it falls back to normal FTP authentication. Windows FTP doesn't have Kerberos authentication built in (and neither does the default RedHat FTP client).

oh okay, i thought it was two different errors. strangely i seem to remember when i used to get that 500: error but not the kerberos one. maybe it was back in the mandrake 8.2 days and it was the same error, but was less verbose about it.

thanks for answering void main!
