putty - backup Comm. Mgr. 1

[tnestel]

I am trying to re-establish a remote connection to a Comm. Mgr. I have the dial up connection working, thanks to some help from tek-tips. However, now I am running into an issue on putty.

I enter the command for back up: sudo backup -b --verbose -d ftp://anonymous:anonymous@xxx.xx.x.xx/pub -- xln os security

and get this error:

TP of backup image to anonymous at xxx.xx.x.xx to /pub
backup: 40: FTP ERROR: FTP Error: connect: Connection refused
backup: 40: FTP of backup image to anonymous at xxx.xx.x.xx failed -- Backup terminated for security
/etc/opt/ecs/backup//.total_bkp : entry added
/etc/opt/ecs/backup//.security_bkps : entry added
Cleanup working area - /var/tmp/bkup/CustomerName_105357_20160414

My guess is I have something wrong in putty. Any help is always appreciated.

doubtful that this is a putty issue.

Hardware platform? CM Software version?

R011 / MV
sudo ftpserv -a on -f on
sudo ftpserv shows status (turns off automatically)
backup to this server
sudo backup -b --verbose -d ftp://anonymous:anonymous@$HOSTNAME/ -- security xln os
cd /var/home/ftp;ls -ltr | tail -3

CM2
sudo ftpserv on
sudo ftpserv shows status (turns off automatically)
backup to this server
sudo backup -b --verbose -d ftp://anonymous:anonymous@$HOSTNAME/pub -- security xln os
cd /var/home/ftp/pub;ls -ltr | tail -3

I'm not sure how PuTTy is related, but it seems as though your backup server is refusing the connection.

 

[tnestel]

You are both correct. PuTTy wasn't the answer, my commands were wrong. Even with AvayaTier3's excellent help, it still took me a few tries to get it just right. But I did finally get it, and I thank you!

backup to other servers (using ip address) is only possible by turning on ftp in the originating server and the receiving server.
sudo ftpserv being enabled is also a temporary thing in every Avaya server. It would be helpful to do the status for ftpserv on each server, just before you try the backup.
