- TITLE :PRB: No (To) Entry in FTP Causes an Exception Error
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-

- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- In Windows NT, using an Open command in FTP with no (TO) entry causes
- an exception error in FTP.EXE.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- When the FTP service receives the OPEN command, it is trying to open a
- service (virtual port) to another computer. It is expecting either a
- host server name, or an actual IP address, such as 129.05.123.22. By
- providing nothing at the (To) prompt, you should receive an error
- message stating that the FTP connection timed out because it could not
- find the host server you specified.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
- and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
- problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
- Base as it becomes available.
