I retrieved it from here: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/RawFTP.htm

List of raw FTP commands
(Warning: this is a technical document, not necessary for most FTP use.)

Note that commands marked with a * are not implemented in a number of FTP servers.

Common commands

So, I’m staring the problem in the face for quite some time (though it’s probably obvious to those that have encountered it before.)

Test server #1: Redhat 9
Test server #2: Redhat 7.1

Both in the same network segment.
Both using the same DNS servers.

Let the hilarity ensue!

On #1:
host ftp.lanside.net reports fine
ftp ftp.landside.net connects fine

On #2:
host ftp.lanside.net reports fine
ftp ftp.lanside.net reports Unknown Host

Figured it was a configuration file, but wasn’t sure which one. Finally found the answer to my problem on a Solaris site. Theres one for google-fu, leave off the operating system next time.
