10.5.2 FTP Server- get rid of aliases to AFP/SMB shares?

Hi all,
I'd like to open up exactly one folder on my Xserve to outside FTP, from one account. That's easy to do with SACLs, and Server Admin: FTP Settings: Advanced: "Home Directory Only", and defining the FTP root as that one folder.
The problem is that this folder also gets populated with aliases to the AFP/SMB shares on this server. They don't do anything, they don't connect to anything, but yet, they also have no business being there, and I want them gone.
How can I have my FTP root not have these unwanted links?
This is exactly the issue brought up in the archived thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5859326&#5859326

Even if you delete the symlinks, they come back the next time a user logs into the server via FTP
SO...
Heres how I did it...
You gotta have a user that's designed to access your site!
Think about it... When you log into an FTP site, do you log in with a legitimate user name that has gui access to that computer? Make sure your users know to log in with an FTP user account that we create here.
First, I created a Group called FTP
Then I created a user named commweb (short for community web) with a home folder located in /Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome
So in your server config, the home folder settings for my user are:
Mac OS X Server/Share Point URL:
afp://******.****.com/Library/WebServer/Documents
Path to Home Folder:
CommunityHome
Full Path:
/Network/Servers/****.***.com/Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome
Then I made commweb a member of the group "FTP"
This is where it gets tricky.
I put the website in a folder IN my commweb's home folder. I called it CommunitySite.
(The site location is /Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome/CommunitySite +you have to specify that in the web server settings+)
I then "Shared" the commweb home folder (/Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome) making sure to give commweb read and write permission.
Now.... We wanna deny complete access to all the sharepoints to ANYONE in the FTP group. (Just select 'deny' - Read and write on the rest of the sharepoints) That way the ftp group can't have access to the folders even if they could see them.
So now, when my commweb user logs in, I make sure that the Initial Path is CommunitySite. Note that you have to specify it in the syntax when logging in through the terminal. For instance the command would be:
ftp commweb@****.***.com/CommunitySite
267,899 steps, but it works.

ITunes share section has a random name that is not mine. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it?

I want to get rid of this name from my share section. I dont know who it is and I dont like the music either. Nobody has ever used my iTunes and this just all of a sudden came up.

It will be coming from another computer on the same local network. Are you using a shared Wi-Fi router?
To stop iTunes looking for shared libraries use Edit > Preferences > General tab and untick Shared Libraries. To make sure your library isn't being shared if you don't want it to be use Edit > Preferences > Sharing tab.

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8 I can't connect to a smb share on Windows Server 2003r2

Hi recently i upgraded from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.6.8 on a 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro 1,1.
Prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 i had a viable connection to a Windows Server 2003r2 which hosts Pre-press client and all out work files as well as client applications. Now I can not connect to the server. I can ping the server. I can connect to another SMB share on different Windows Server 2003r2 that is our secondary server, but i can not connect to the primary. The Client software is associated with data base tracking the data.
This share does not show up in my volumes but I have a Max Host File with the share defined.
Can anyone come up with a solution to this. I have contacted my support for the Server 2003r2 Client software but they don't have a solution beyond clean installing the computer.

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
Thanks,
Madhu

How to get rid of automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail?

I have recently setup an OS X 10.6.2 Server for our small office. I got the domain name wrong in the initial install and fixed this by doing a complete clean reinstall of OS X 10.6 server (then upgrade to 10.6.2).
The problem is that one of the OS X 10.6.2 clients had been setup to talk to the server prior to the rebuild. Now on this client, I cannot work out how to get rid of or change the automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail - everytime you login, these are recreated using the old domain name (and of course don't work).
In Mail if you remove the server account (from Accounts in Preferences), it just pops back again. I even removed every trace of the old domain name from the apple.com.mail.plist file but when I re-open Mail that darned server account (with the old domain name) just pops up again.
In iCal its slightly different in that you can remove the account and it stays away while you have iCal open. But as soon as you close and re-open it, that server account just pops up again!
I thought it might be something to do with Kerberos and found a Kerberos file on the client which had the old domain name throughout it - I changed all these references to the new domain name, but still the same behaviour in Mail and iCal.
This is doing my head in. Any ideas?

How do I get the RSS feeds to work in iWeb'08 when published to FTP server?

There are so many unresolved questions because I have published to an FTP server (Netfirms). HOWEVER, my next task at hand is to resolve the issue of a non-working RSS feed and download capabilities.
The published website is www.vibrationalvoyages.com.
When using Cyberduck to upload to Netfirms, I have to call the file name vibrationalvoyages.com because Netfirms organizes my files under a main folder called www (I also purchased the .org and .net extensions along with the singular spelling of the title, have forwarded those url's to the .com extension, which means I have different website names under Netfirm's main folder www, all pointing to www.vibrationalvoyages.com).
I have to drop the www. in front of vibrationalvoyages.com when publishing to a folder on my computer so, when Cyberduck uploads the files into the main www folder, they are read correctly and published as www.vibrationalvoyages.com. In Cyberduck, the ftp address to upload is vibrationalvoyage.netfirms.com
Before uploading, I use iTweak to insert the Statcounter tracking codes. Then, I use Rage to optimize the site to cut down on the weight (lots of photos). Then, finally, I get to upload which takes about an hour and a half.
SO, HOW DO I GET THE RSS FEEDS TO WORK AS WELL AS THE OPTION TO DOWNLOAD AN MP3 RECORDED MEDITATIONS? I eventually also want to include the download option of podcasts.
Please help! I am doing the best I can to stay in love with Mac but he is turning out to be a pot load of work and the love affair is wearing a little thin.
I haven't even asked about why iWeb still calls some pages 'The family picnic" or why it switches the url addresses to the individual pages. Probably because in the early stages, I copied an entry rather than just do a new one... but I'll worry about that later. I want to get this 'fixed' first and then I'll address the issue, following Roddy's advice to another writer about installing a flash player, for easy download of the MP3 meditations and for when I record the lessons as podcasts. Until I get this RSS issue resolved, however, podcast downloads are out of the question!

Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?

How to get current working directory of the ftp server,in java application

Hi All,
I?m FTP?ing the file using java.net.url.
Here is the snippet of the code:
public void ftpFile()throws ChrsException
try
System.out.println("FTPing the file '"+localfile+"'");
OutputStream os = openUploadStream(targetfile);
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(localfile);
byte[] buf = new byte[16384];
int noOfBytesRead;
while (true)
//Read the data from the source File into buf
noOfBytesRead = is.read(buf);
if (noOfBytesRead <= 0)
break;
//Writes the data present in the buf to the target file
os.write(buf, 0, noOfBytesRead);
os.close();
is.close();
close();
System.out.println ("The file '"+localfile+"' is Sucessfully FTP'd to '"+targetfile+"'");
catch (MalformedURLException malExcp)
System.out.println ("Invalid URL. Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
catch(IOException ioe)
System.out.println ("Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
private OutputStream openUploadStream(String targetfile) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
URL url = null;
//Creates a URL object with FTP protocol
if (user == null)
url = new URL("ftp://" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
else
url = new URL("ftp://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
urlc = url.openConnection();
//Get the OutputStream that writes to this connection.
OutputStream os = urlc.getOutputStream();
return os;
Now I need to find what the current directory is when the user logs in with username and password on to the FTP server in java.
Thanks in Advance.

as soon as user logs in he is taken to the directory
"ftproot/pub/abc".
now If I execute pwd command , is hould be able to
get to know tht user is under "ftproot/pub/abc"Three respected posters, well two plus me ;-), have just told you otherwise. The information about the current directory is (a) secure and (b) useless to the user, as he can't do anything with it. The user doesn't want to know that at all and you shouldn't try to tell him. And in any case FTP doesn't support it, again for security reasons, so you can't do it.
Just accept it.

Can I get rid of Exchange with the new Server just released?

Hi, I saw the new 8 core machine and all the programs. I also recieved an email from Apple telling me about all the calendaring it has.
I want to get rid of Exchange. I have Outlook on 99.9% the clients, however, and they're not going to get rid of Windows or Office any time soon. Will the new server just released and the server software do Exchange server calendaring, scheduling, etc. just like (or better) than Exchange does?
Thanks.

iCalServer uses the new standard CalDAV protocol for calendaring. Exchange uses MS's own proprietary protocols - we do not have those implemented in iCalServer. As a result your existing Outlook users can't use iCalServer right now.
The good news is that there is at least one group working on a plugin for Outlook that will enable access to iCalServer. Whilst this is still alpha quality right now progress is being made, and hopefully in the near future thee will be something usable. See <http://openconnector.org>.

Getting remote file using FTP Server Issue in OSB

Hi Guys,
I have configured a FTP server on my local system and I created a proxy service to get file from ftp location to some other location but it fails . I used ftp protocol for getting file
and my ftp location is D:\host\ftp and it has another folder called osb . I used ftp as protocol and EndPointURI is ftp://localhost/. It fails to get files and shows error message like
com.bea.wli.sb.transports.TransportException: <user:osb>Unable to list files for
directory: .
at com.bea.wli.sb.transports.ftp.connector.FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.exec
ute(FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.java:218)
In case of Business Service, writing a file to ftp location (i.e ftp://localhost/ means D:\host\ftp\osb) working.
I used service account for both proxy,BS to connect . osb is username and same as password.
Can Any one please suggest me How to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Hi Vijay Thank you,
Can we do the pooling directly using FTP protocol like JMS protocol in OSB with out using FTP JCA Adapter.I did in such a way but it fails. For pooling files the mentioned endpoint uri is as ftp://localhost/ and it actual path is D:\host\ftp and ftp has another folder called osb here i have to get the files from this osb Can any one suggest me if there is any problem with the ftp protocol end point.
Thank You,

Empty files are getting created at receiver FTP server

Hi Experts,
I have an Idoc to File scenario where I am sending an XML file to receiver FTP server.
Scenario is working fine but sometimes an empty file is getting generated at receiver FTP server.
I have already selected ignore empty file at receiver channel so issue is not within PI system configuration.
When I checked the message log I can see that almost all the files are getting created successfully without any issues, but
for some files/messages I can see that there are below error logs.
"Transmitting the message to endpoint <local> using connection IDoc_AAE_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections"
"Exception caught by adapter framework: Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections."
And after there is again success message log in the same message and it creating a file successfully during that time stamp.
but the third party is sometime receiving empty file which I am not able to find in any trace or log (my file name is SD_timestamp.xml).
Can you please let me know what is the solution and what adjustments FTP server need to do in order to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul Kulkarni

The error you are getting that says "Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections" has probably nothing to do with the empty files problem.
I second Hareesh Gampa that you first should try "temporary file creation". You might also need to tell the FTP owner that he should only pick up files with that are written completely and that do comply with a negotiated file name schema. The temp file should have another schema of course then. He should not pick up just every file that is written. See here for details
