    You can change inted as follows, to spawn ftpd in debugging mode:

    # man ftpd
    [snip]

    -d Sends debugging information about ftpd daemon operations to the syslogd
    daemon. If you specify the -d flag, you must edit the /etc/syslog.conf file
    and
    add the following entry:

    daemon.debug FileName

    Aside from that, change syslog.conf to capture *.debug to a separate file.

    Bill,
         Thank you very much for the response. The job in question has been
    running from years, in the last 8 months it is second time I am facing this
    problem. And the user stressess more on this lost connection message and
    asks me to give a reason for this. When i have checked it up with the
    network team, they have confirmed that there was no downtime in the network
    during this time. Is there anyway I can answer the user.. i have been
    trying
    to know the cause of this message,but efforts in vain...

    TIA
    Praveen.K

    The reasons for a lost FTP connection are almost as many as the different
    types of clouds in the sky. It could be a network burp, a core dump, a
    random bug, etc.

    Here is an ftp script I use for file transfers. It actually captures the
    whole ftp session, so I can see the details of the transfer. With a bit of
    work, it could be converted to ssh/sftp.

    Hi folks,

              I have peculiar problem during File transfer using FTP. I have a
    job on server A, that fetches a particular file from 5 different servers
    (say server 1 to server 5) and merges all these files. This job usually
    takes around 30-45 minutes time, but yesterday this has taken an unusually
    long time of 2.5 hours. When I have looked in to my log files I found that
    the ftp connection to the server 1 was not through and hence the file
    transfer from this server did not happen. I have looked in to the
    /var/adm/messages file on the server 1 and found that there was message
    showing lost connection from server A. I could not really understand what
    could be the reason behind this.

    Any one has any idea about the reason for this problem.

    Also please find the entries in the /var/adm/messages on the server 1

    Jun 15 03:22:17 server1 ftpd[49268]: connect from 213.62.36.193
    Jun 15 03:33:05 server1 ftpd[49268]: lost connection to 213.62.36.193
    [213.62.36.193]

    TIA
