Apple Downloads via FTP?

Can I dowload Software Updates and other Apple downloads (like Safari 3) via FTP? Where I live (overseas), I have to pay .30 USD per megabye for http, but ftp is free.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Safari is currently at version 2.0.4 and not available for download. Updates to it come together with operating system updates. 3 is just a beta. You can always submit beta bug reports to http://bugreporter.apple.com/ Perhaps you want to suggest they offer it via FTP download through a beta report?
Switch internet providers. There is no cost difference on most internet providers. Obviously some have hoodwinked the public into believing you have to have a metered rate. You don't. Almost all internet service providers in the U.S. are flat monthly rates.

  • Patch Cluster download via ftp

    Hi -
    Topic 81418
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-81418-1
    states:
    "Patch clusters can be downloaded from the anonymous FTP server or retrieved from the publicly available patches page."
    However, I don't see where to download the clusters from on the ftp server. The old patchroot directory is not there anymore.
    Is the help file 81418 above incorrect?

    Is there anyone at SUN who would be kind enough to respond to this question?
    I want to download the file via anonymous ftp but I can't find them anymore!
    I don't want to sign up to the web interface every time just to download fixes to software bugs...

  • Downloading patches via ftp

    Hi
    I found these instructions for downloading patches via ftp...
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3331/6miuccqni?a=view
    (Under section entitled "Example—Downloading and Applying a Signed Patch by Using ftp")
    I tried to follow these, but cannot see a signed_patches directory?
    Is this old method only relevant to Solaris 8 - and if so - what is the Solaris 10 equivalent method of downlaoding patches via ftp?

    I don't think we're alone, but no one seems to have an answer. This thread seems to be a user having the same problem:

  • Problems uploading big files via FTP and downloading files

    I've been having problems uploading big files like video files (.mov 12MB) via FTP to my website (small files like .html or .doc I can upload but it takes longer than usual). I'm using Fetch 4.0.3. as FTP. Same problems when downloading files via Bit Torrent. I recently moved to Spain, since then I seem to have the problem. But my roommate with a PC doesn't have that problem. Connecting to internet with Ethernet cable also didn't resolve the problem. I also tested it from a Starbucks coffee connecting to Internet from there but still couldn't upload that 12MB file to the FTP. The security settings for firewall are set to "allow all incoming connections". I didn't change any of my settings so I don't know what the problems could be. I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7) Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Much of what is available on Bittorrent is not legal, beta, or improperly labelled versions. If you want public domain software, see my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#NATIVE
    for search engines of legitimate public domain sites.
    http://www.rbrowser.com/ has a light mode that supports binary without SSH security.
    http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ has ssh secure FTP.
    Both I find are quick and a lot more reliable than Fetch. I know Fetch used to be the staple FTP program, but it grew too big for my use.

    Thank you.  So it is ok to download the different number.  Also, someone just emailed me saying that iCloud is really not a storage.  Does one have to get SugarSync, etc. then?

    Don't offer rewards for assistance; you'll receive help with or without the offer.  This topic is an FAQ; FTP is no different than any other transfer method.  Search the forum for PDF conversion code.  Also, the function you're using has a 99 page limit for conversion; you may want to view the function parameters and account for that.

  • Remote access via ftp

    Hi.
    I am trying to set up remote access to my mac so I can upload files to it remotely from a PC. I want the simplest free solution as I simply want occasional access to back up files from my work PC to my home mac. I have got 90% of the way, but fallen at the final hurdle.
    I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router
    I am trying to access my imac via ftp as this appears to be the simplest route. So far I have done the following:
    (a) Followed the advice in "Mac OSX Missing Manual" and portforwarding.com: i.e. ...
    (b) Set up a static IP address on my mac through system preferences. This is working as I can access the internet fine.
    (c) Turned off "Block anonymous internet requests" in the router settings
    (d) Set up port forwarding of port 21 using the static IP address I have set up
    (e) In system preferences, turned on file sharing using ftp
    (f) Tested access using Safari - typed in my local static IP address as specified in the file sharing ftp box in the sharing section of system preferences. I logged in with my main account log in info. This worked - I immediately got a finder window pop up with my folders visible. The ftp server was also mounted on my desktop.
    (g) Tested access using Safari via my public IP address. This was much slower. I eventually got the login box, but when I entered the same main account login info I eventually got an error message saying password / username were incorrect. They weren't, as I have tried this several times. (I don't have access to a PC on another network to test that way.)
    Very grateful for any help.
    Thanks

    I am not sure which type of FTP Apple uses but this will give you the differences the in firewall policy for active and passive. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html you will need to set the firewall accordingly.
    You may also have problems with the firewall in use at work, it depends on how its been locked down.
    It depends on how much time you have to spend on the problem. There are free remote control applications that include file transfer, have a look at this site http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx , there is a free version available but I have not used this software. There are other similar products some free, some cost.
    If you cannot get any answers to your question at least there are other esiaer options open to you.
    regards

  • I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

  • Why is music streamed from my MacBook Pro to Apple TV via AirPlay choppy?

    I'm trying to stream music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my new Apple TV via AirPlay, but the music is extremely choppy, cutting in and out. It's completely unlistenable. However, I can use AirPlay to stream from my Macbook Pro to my Pioneer VSX 1021 AirPlay enabled receiver with no issues. Additionally, I can stream from my iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV without these issues. Therefore it would appear wifi bandwidth is not the root cause. I'm stumped. Help!

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Cannot connect to cFP-2120 via FTP

    I am using several cFP-2120 running LV RT 8.2.1 with the FieldPoint drivers version 5.0.1. for process control and data acquisition. All data are logged to a file and broadcasted via network-shared variables. The data files can be downloaded using an external ftp client. Lately, two of our units have been giving me some trouble as I sometimes can not access the cFP2120s via ftp. I can ping the unit on the network though, all programs are still running and I can still access the network-shared variables. Only a reset of the controller seems to solve the issue.
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Volker 

    Kyle,
    Thanks again for contributing.
    > Can you only connect one time after you reset and it stops working if you try to reconnect shortly there after or does it work for awhile and then eventually it stops working?
    After we reset the controller it seems to always work for awhile before it stops working again.
    > Are you using the controller to perform any other tcp communications with an other servers, besides the network shared variables? 
    Our system is configured as a slave on a Modbus TCP network and is queried typically once a minute.
    > Whats your memory usage on the cFP? Do you have the System State Publisher software loaded? Try connecting with DSM and see how much CPU and Memory usage you are using.
    No, I havent done this yet. I think this was instroduced with LV8.6? I just upgraded to the latest LV version and will investigate. This will take a week though.
    > Can you check the timeouts in MAX to make sure they didn't get changed? Right click on the cFP and select Communication Timeout Settings. From stock they should be 15000 ms.
    The timeout in MAX is still 15000ms.
    > Are these cFP dedicated to just this one task or are they reconfigured from time to time?
    We only reconfigure these units when we upgrade the software. This has been less frequent lately and happens maybe once a year.
    All the best,
    Volker
