ftp not working on Prime NCS

Gerald King

OK, I have a customer whom we are migrating from WCS to Prime Infrastructure 1.3. As I understand it, I need NCS in the middle to migrate from WCS >> NCS >> PI1.3.

I have Prime NCS running, I followed instructions:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/ncs/1.1/release/notes/NCS_RN1.1.1.html#wp298425

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/ncs/1.1/configuration/guide/tasks.html#wp1215225

When I try and connect to the NCS server via ftp using Filezilla or WS-FTP with username/ftp-user & password/ftp-user I get the following:

are you able to ssh or console into the NCS appliance?

if so, please run an ncs status command to see if all ncs processes are running:::

also, can you try to launch an MS-DOS or CMD prompt and try to

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

enter ftp-user for the username

enter whatever password you think it is.
