Install software via FTP and VXworks
« on: February 25, 2021, 03:34:02 PM »
Hi, I'm trying to install the software by changing the boot parameters in VxWorks but it just doesn't work, these are the settings I'm using:

boot device          : motfcc
unit number          : 0
processor number     : 0
host name            : bootHost
file name            : Boot_Install
inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.2:ffffff00
host inet (h)        : 192.168.1.3
gateway inet (g)     : 192.168.1.1
user (u)             : ftp
ftp password (pw)    : ftp
flags (f)            : 0x0
other (o)            : FixPartition

I have an ftp server running on my laptop with correct IP but I get this message when it fails:

boot device          : ?????????motfcc
unit number          : 0
processor number     : 0
host name            : bootHost
file name            : Boot????????????????????????Boot_Install
inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.2:ffffff00
host inet (h)        : 192.168.1.3
gateway inet (g)     : 192.168.1.1
user (u)             : ftp
ftp password (pw)    : ??ftp
flags (f)            : 0x0
other (o)            : ???????fixpartition????????????FixPartition

Can't load boot file!!

I'm trying to install MCD 6.0 as it's on a test system basically for practice

Any ideas or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Chris, make sure in Putty that you re-type those settings exactly - no backspace to correct errors. If you commit an error do it again before hitting @ to reboot with the correct changes.

Also turn the firewall completely off on your PC.

What type of ftp server are you using?  Di you unzip the files in the ftp folder?

Make sure to disable the Windows Firewall, or any other firewall software you have...
