FTP on OS X Server Unreliable

Hi,
I'm running OS X server 2.2.2 on OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro (Mid 2012). Everything works well, except for the FTP service. It's very unreliable. It fails to transfer almost all of the time with more than one or two files (so the only way to get stuff on and off is it zip files). And even with one file, it still fails 50% of the time. Nearly every transfer has to be tried twice. It'll give a communication error, or say the connection was dropped, etc. I've tried with Cyberduck, Transmit, Flow, and Filezilla, all with the same results. The FTP client built in to Dreamweaver has the same issue, and generally works every other time, but only with one file.
Any ideas as to why this might be ocurring? It's very inconvenient to have to work around this problem.
Thanks in advance!

have you tried installing pure-ftpd?
you can install pureftpd manager GUI and install a newer complied version of pure-ftpd which supports ftp W/SSL. It's been while since I compiled my version since year I have a script somwhere on the forums that supports certain functions with pureftpd manager.
make sure you disable apple's ftp.. which I think it pointless these days since it's not secure.

Write records to a Flat file & Ftp to a remote server

I know this would be a basic question for most of the ppl in this forum, but I am stuck in here.
There is a "Orders" table, and when new orders are made , I need to build a file with relevant information(extracted from tables) and FTP to a remote server.There should be a SQL job that would run for every 30 mins to see if there are any new orders made , and if so, Write them to a file and FTP back to a remote server.
The orders that were written to a file previously shouldn't appear when new files are created.
How can this be done..?
Thanks in advance..

You'd need 3 basic components here
1) Something to identify new orders
2) Something to write whatever data you want to a flat file
3) Something to FTP that file
#2 is going to be the UTL_FILE package
#3 is going to require a third-party PL/SQL (or Java) FTP library. If you do a Google search on UTL_FTP, you'll find a few such PL/SQL packages or you can download an appropriate Java class and load that into the database.
#1 can be as simple as a Status column that gets set to NEW initially and PROCESSED when the file is generated. Or it could get a lot more complicated with something like Streams capturing changes to the table and sending those change records to a separate consumer process that would then generate the file and FTP it.

How to upload site created with Dreamweaver via FTP to the iWEB server?

Hi everyone,
I recently created a site on Dreamweaver and want to upload the site, via FTP to the iWEB server. My questions are the following:
1. What is the FTP host address?
2. How do I connect to my website via FTP?
Any help on the following questions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Lauretta and welcome to the forum.
You do not connect to iDisk via FTP. iDisk uses WebDAV. Also you do not need to manually upload the published files to iDisk as recommended buy others in this thread. Once the site and server is set up in DW you can publish and upload directly through DW.app Check out this post for more info.

Ftp connection in oracle server

dear all,
i need some ideas...
Fact: We have an application made by programmers. This app enter a lot of external users through internet browsers. Now the application will have to upload PDF files and save into a directory. This files will be read with UTL_FILE in order to identify the file name.
We were thinking that we have to open an ftp connection (in oracle server) through this application in order to save the pdf files into directory (another server) but this directory will have to connect through NFS to my oracle server.
I think that this could be a potential risk in my oracle server if i open ftp...
can you give me some ideas o antoher ways in order to do that i want ???
Thanks a lot

No operating system.
No hardware platform.

Hi Pandiyan Muthuraman,
Did you mean even you disable or open the related port the FTP issue still exist? I found this errors most time occur when we use the ISA firewall and the FTP configured passive
mode, if you have ISA firewall please refer the following KB to fix this issue.

Seit dem letzten Update hängt sich muse immer auf, wenn ich versuche, die webseite per ftp-upload auf unseren Server zu laden. Gibt es eine Lösung?

Das geht bestimmt auch genauer!
Wann hängt sich Muse auf? Beim Verbinden? Vor dem Upload? Während des Uploads? Nach dem Upload?
Gibt es eine Fehlermeldung?
Hast du probiert, die "alte" Seite auf dem Server vor dem Upload komplett zu löschen?
Was passiert, wenn du die Seite testweise als HTML auf den Rechner ausgibst?

FTP Access on OSX Server via a browser

I have a number of ftp clients set up which can succesfully upload/download files using ftp client software (Fetch/Easy FTP).
I have a windows user who wants to upload his stuff via ftp in his web browser (IE presumably).
Not had any success (Guest access is disabled) with his account settings in browser though I can get in using same settings in ftp client.
Is this possible with the built in ftp element of OSX Server without having to install something like Rumpus?

IE is the only browser I know of that supports FTP upload via the web browser window. Most Mac browsers that I'm aware of simply pass the FTP connection off to the Finder to deal with.
The Finder, of course, doesn't support FTP upload.
So unless your clients are comfortable working in the command line, you're going to need some additional software. That software could be as simple as an AppleScript application that performs the upload, but you're going to need something.

BUG - FTP with case sensitive server

My provider uses case sensitive file and directory names. I
created a directory 'OtherStuff' on the server directly (not from
remote view). In Dreamweaver's FTP setup I erred by specifying the
subdirectory of 'otherstuff'. When I created a default html file
and PUT it, FTP failed to find the directory but continued and put
the default html file in the root, overwriting my default web file.
Yes, I erred. However, it would be good if Dreamweaver would
stop when it encounters a cd failure.

You can enable case sensitive link checking in the site
manager.
However, this is more the issue of the OS, rather then DW.
Windows -
which is the OS you use, I assume - is about the only OS
(that I know
of) which is case insensitive!
All Linux/Unix based servers are case sensitive.

Ftps and connect to server

Does anyone know if OS X has a built-in ftps (not sftp) client? Also, is there a list of supported protocols for "connect to server"? Thanks!

apparently there is via the application Terminal...but I have no idea how to work it!

Slow FTP upload to certain server

(OS X 10.3.5) Using Fetch, my upload speed to a certain server is 6,000 bytes - on average, while my upload speed to another server hovers around 130,000 bytes. Both of these servers are outside of our network, with different IP addresses. The download speeds for both are similar at 200,000 bytes.
Windows users on our network (Windows NT) do not see this disparity in speed. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Привет всем, не ожидал такого быстрого ответа!
Могу чуть-чуть дополнить свой вопрос.
Вопрос заключается в том, что у нас есть FTP сервер который проверяет входящие файлы на соответствие определенного формата (XDCAM HD 422 50 PAL 50i) и соответственно проверка занимает какое то время 15 - 30 сек или 1 мин. На данный момент наш FTP сервер не успевает ответить адобу что проверка прошла успешно или наоборот и прерывает соединение. Пробовал добавить число попыток в настройках Adobe Premiere Pro CC, но это всего лишь переподключение. И каждое переподключение создает запрос на проверку вновь загружаемого файла.
И еще на том же компьютере у нас установлен Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 и за 5 мес. с ним такого ни разу не было . И скорость на CS6 ограничен 25% использование сетевой карты(т.е. 25% утилизация)
А на Adobe Premiere Pro CC мы замечаем что скорость upload to ftp идет без ограничения 65-80% утилизация сетевой карты.
И по этому пытаемся перейти на новую версию
Вот мне еще интересно что изменилось в новой версии Adobe Premiere Pro CC в ftp-uploade?
- FTP Server находится в локальной сети.
- Проблема есть только в Adobe Premiere Pro CC
- ОС Windows 7 x64

Can't upload to FTP Host - 'Folder on server does not exist'

I haven't tried updating my site for about a month now. I went onto Muse last night and while uploading to the FTP Host, it kept freezing at about 66% while handling the image files.
This was odd because I'd never had this problem before, but I noticed there was an update, so I decided to get Muse 2014.2, as maybe this could fix my problem.
I made the same changes to my site and went to upload to FTP Host. After convincing Muse my details were correct (kept being told I had been timed out and my username or password was wrong) I was finally connected to the FTP server. However, my 'Folder on Server' (httpdocs) doesn't seem to exist according to Muse.
I spoke to GoDaddy's support team for over an hour as we tried variations on the httpdocs folder and we had no idea why Muse wasn't accepting this (they also checked the file exists). They tried Filezilla and that was fine, so it's obviously a problem with Muse. I asked if I should just click on the option to create the httpdocs folder, but GoDaddy advised against it.
I tried contacting the Adobe Customer Care chat thing, but I don't even know what's happening with that ("chat is unavailable . . . we'll be with you shortly" . . . eh?)
If anyone has a solution to either my problem on the old Muse or this new problem with Muse 2014.2 (ideally this one) then that would be great.
Also, I'm only using Muse because it cuts out all the complex stuff, so go easy on me when explaining anything that isn't "you just need to click this"

UPDATE: I uninstalled both versions of Muse and re-installed the 2014.2 version to see if that would work, but it still doesn't think the httpdocs file exists.
(As a result of uninstalling the old Muse, my problem regarding the freezing at 66% is now irrelevant. Just need help with Muse not accepting the httpdocs folder)
