The fix for this was to use binary mode instead of ascii mode to do the get file
transfer.

So, at the ftp prompt

ftp> binary

and that allowed the download to work.

Dave.

Here is my original question

I can ftp into a solaris 9 machine just fine as a regular
user but when I issue
a get command I get this error

421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed

Anyone have any ideas on why this happens?

Thanks much!
