Problem with binding fcopyd socket

Question:

I received the error:
FCOPY-E-FCDBIND, error binding fcopyd socket
-SYS-E-ERRMSG, Address already in use
What does it mean?

Answer:

Generally, this is not an error and requires no corrective action on your part. The fcopy daemon (fcopyd) has already been started. If you are on a UNIX system, the process may have already been started by (x)inetd. If this is the case, the fcopyd process will not appear in a process list (i.e. ps -ef). This message may also appear if you terminate an fcopyd process with the "kill" command and try to reactivate it, since the socket still remains "in use" for two (2) minutes. To ensure it has been started, execute a simple localhost file transfer.
