    Does anyone know if it's possible to perform server-to-server FTP transfers with the included ftpd service?

    For testing purposes I'm attempting to use the same machine as both source and target. I've tried this process on other servers (Serv-U, IIS on NT, etc) and it works fine, but in AIX the following occurs:

    The PASV and PORT commands work fine, however both the STOR and RETR commands (on the destination and source sessions respectively) result in no response and the connection being reset by the host around 30 seconds later.

    I can't seem to find any ftpd parameters that would affect this behaviour, so I'm hoping someone here could provide some insight.
