This article was previously published under Q101923 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.
