• Open ftp service
• 1. If ftp service is not open, open it following the last mail I sent before.
• 2. Step 2, by default step 1 only open the normal user’s ftp privilege(like test), users like root, oracle are denied from the ftp user list.
• So you have two choices:
• 1) copy files from oracle user to test user. Then send files by test user from 99 to 15 node.
• 2) Open oracle user’s ftp privilege. If so go to Step 3.
• 3. Step 3, to open oracle user’s ftp privilege, do following:
• 1) Login as root
• 2) Vi /etc/ftpusers
• #
• # ftpusers      This file describes the names of the users that may
• #               _*NOT*_ log into the system via the FTP server.
• #               This usually includes "root", "uucp", "news" and the
• #               like, because those users have too much power to be
• #               allowed to do "just" FTP...
• #oracle                    //mark oracle from the list.
• 3) Save and done.
  
                         Then you can happy to copy files through ftp use the oracle user now.
• 4) As the oracle user have too much power, it’s dangerous to open the ftp privilege. I suggest to closed it after you finished your job (move the mark from /etc/ftpusers).
