ftp is enabled on physical datamover, you can disable the service:  server_ftp server_2 -service -stop
Hello, I am a new comer when it comes to understanding EMC technology so please forgive me if I have overlooked something simple with this inquiry. We have a CIFS server on a created VDM used for network storage by general users in our company, which is (as specified under the "CIFS Server Properties" page) a "Windows 2000/2003" server type. I know that EMC advertises that Celerras can have FTP, NTP, and CIFS services, but I expect those to be set up and managed seperately. The thing is, recently a network scan revealed that this VDM or CIFS Server (according to its network name we gave for the share) has FTP access to it, basically giving us the warning "FTP server (refering to the EMC share) does not support AUTH command". I didn't even know FTP access was enabled for our CIFS share. Perhaps it stems from me not fully understanding what the FTP access is to: is it to the VDM or to the CIFS Server? I am assuming that the VDM and the CIFS Server running on it are not considered the same thing, although we named our VDM in such a way as you would think that that is its only use (for CIFS only - thus FTP services were unexpected and perhaps a security issue on our network).  Can anyone help me sort this out, and also instruct me on whether it is possible to disable this FTP service, or as our scan recommended enable "AUTH" support (it thinks it is a Windows 2000/2003 server thus recommends a fix for Windows not applicable to the EMC). I apologize for the novice question. Any assistance would be much appreciated!  Best regards, Josh
