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.
