Has netstat been replaced by a newer program?
I noticed netstat is part of the nettools package which was replaced by ip command.
What program should i be using to check see open/listening ports on my local computer?
Does anyone know what exact netstat commands in Ubuntu Server to use to show:
- Ports listening on on the server
- Current TCP connections to those ports
I use netstat to check my port status.
I was wondering what's the difference between port status LISTENING, TIME_WAIT, CLOSE_WAIT, FIN_WAIT1 and ESTABLISHED?
How to check the opened/closed ports on my computer?
I used netstat -a on command line.
- Does the port status "LISTENING" indicate that the port is open?
- Is any port, that is not shown in the output, closed?
For a little while now, a strange connection has been showing up on my netstat made by the command:
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.1 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/2
By the time I notice it, the connection is always at the closed state. Every time I trace the IP address, it usually says that no website is registered.
I am unsure what activated this. It could be one of my browsers (Chrome and Firefox). I'm getting a little worried about this.
Could someone clue me in to what this could possibly be, and how to prevent the connection.
