  Try this:
  Get the ip address of your Solaris server (If you don't have, your System Administrator may help). Then go to this location
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
  open the "hosts" file in notepad. make an entry at very end as follows:
  
  for eg
  127.0.0.1 localhost
  10.164.93.23 tkp-01.svr
  Now save the hosts file.
  Please note: To make changes to hosts file, you must have complete local admin rights on your PC.
  While logging using winSCP, I hope you are using correct port and File protocol.

  In order to FTP, isn't it necessary to have the FTP server running on the Solaris OS?

  yeah, I agree. ftp or sftp (whatever runs on ur server) must be running, but the prob bharat is facing, as far as i understand, is login and pinging to the server. so he must resolve that first.

  Thanks for confirming. I think if FTP server is running, FTP connection can be made just with the IP address, login credentials and PORT number.

  my two cents as i have no idea about solaris systems
  is ping actually enabled on the server? Many Admins disable ICMP packets which inturn are ping packets.

  Thnks Subhod. for the tips...now i am able to ping to my solaris server.
  
  But still in Putty and WinSCP. I cant login.
  
  Getting the error as:

  Authentication log (see session log for details):
  Using username "root".
  Access denied.
  
  Authentication failed.

  Access denied for a root user...Is there any other pemissions I have to Specify in solaris for a root user??
