Re: Etrust Antivirus on SBS2003 Std

I wonder if this is just a temporary glitch with CA's FTP server. As you
probably know, that log is normal right through "Downloading the list of
signature files." I don't see what could be wrong on your end that would
let you connect and authenticate to the FTP server, but would then cause a
timeout in downloading the files. I just tried it now and ftpav.ca.com
seemed to respond normally (but I don't need a download so can't be 100%
sure).

I'd give it a few more tries.

Hi everyone,

I have an SBS 2003 Std installation and I installed Computer Associates
Etrust Anti-Virus 7.1. I have not been able to get a successful download
of the AV signature updates from their FTP site on the SBS machine.

The errors are as follows from the AV log

AV distribution program started the download process.
Configuration file: C:\WINNT\TEMP\33b25F.tmp
--- Attempting to download from host number 1 - FTP_0 ---
The connection method selected is FTP

I have other SBS installations that are similar to this one and I have no
problem downloading the signatures....
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
TR
