Dear Amit

	I think the problem is that ‘vsftpd’ FTP service - it likely requires authentication, security, protocols the VME machines are not up to.

Here at LIGO, we successfully transitioned some really old VME/VxWorks machines from a Solaris file server to [eventually] an Ubuntu 12.04LTS machine running nfs-kernel-server and rsh-redone-server.  We enter the machine in an rhosts table.

My limited check of ‘vsftpd’ says it is ‘Very Secure FTP Daemon’  I would start by using a more vanilla server like nfs-kernel-server
