Your previous post showed your clamd instance is bound to the loopback interface and as such other systems cannot connect. But even if they could what would they do? You surely don't want to ship whole file systems across your network for scanning, do you? That would also be required if you wish to scan email attachments. It can be done (think NFS) but the network traffic may surprise you.

Hi Dennis,
I am trying to connect to a Clam AV running on a separate linux box...and
if there is some configuration I have to do to connect?  Or, Clam AV even
allows that?

The fact that you take `hostname` parameter makes me think it's possible.
But, I am getting connection refused error.

Thank you so much!

Best,
Ravi

Try a simple test of the clamd connection with:

echo "PING" | nc localhost 3310

It should return "PONG". If it does your problem is not related to clamd.

Hi Al,
I am new to clamav.  I am able to install it on RHEL AWS environment and
enabled it to run on port 3310.
