    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:
    <ip adress> <tab> <hostname of server>
    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??
