Blocked Incoming FTP from Mac OS X Server Via The Mac Client Firewall

This problem began with Mac OS X Tiger's firewall and lives on in 10.6.2.
Situation:
Anyone with Tiger through Snow Leopard connects to my Mac OS X Server, v10.3. They have 'Passive Mode' OFF in their FTP client. They are 100% successful logging in. Their FTP client sends the LIST command and the server successfully responds with the list data.
But the data can't get into the client's Mac. Why? The Mac OS X firewall BLOCKS IT.
The solution? Nothing sane! You have to turn the Mac OS X firewall OFF. There is NO OTHER SOLUTION.
All the settings on the client machine are perfect. I've been over them a hundred times over the years, tried every single combination possible. So please don't ask or I may bite you.
What's going on: Mac OS X Server 10.3, despite never accepting Passive Mode, sends the LIST data to all client computers in, you guessed it, Passive Mode. The Mac OS X firewall will NOT accept Passive Mode. Result: Catch 22. You can't do it. You are screwed.
Oh, but you could open all the Passive Mode ports in the firewall, and that would work? Be my guest. No way am I going to suggest that horror of a workaround to the hundreds of Mac clients I have accessing my Mac OS X Server.
So Apple, FIX THIS. Integrate FTP Passive Mode into the Mac OS X firewall already!!!

Ok. I was doing something a bit silly. I had the network user and the local user with the same short name. So when they were looked up the local user got preference. So I've fixed all that and am moving huge amounts of data across my humble 802.11g network now. Will have to leave it for a few hours.

  • Block incoming connection from ARDAgent?

    Since I installed Snow Leopard, I have a window that pops up and tells me if I want to block incoming connection from ARDAgent(Remote Desktop App) every time I log in or turn on the computer, no matter if I block or allow incoming connections. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

    The blocking of incoming connections is in System Preferences>Security>Firewall
    I think (not in front of a Mac at the moment). I would have thought that once
    disabled it would remain disabled. Are you running in an admin account?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • If I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion via the web and now wish to erase the hard drive and restore it to factory settings to sell.  How do I accomplish this?

    I upgraded the operating system on my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion via the web.  Now I need to erase the hard drive and restore it to factory settings, so that I can pass it on.  How do I accomplish this?  When I insert the Mac OS X install disk, the only option is to erase the free space.  Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    You need to boot off the original Snow Leopard DVD's that came with the system.
    Once you are running off of the DVD you will be able to do a clean install of SL
    To boot off the DVD with the system up running Lion insert the DVD. Open Sytem Preferences->Startup Disk and select the DVD then restart the machine.

    First, please check if the RAM is exhausted. When there is not enough RAM, this issue may occurs.
    Please try to run iisreset on the WSUS server, then try to reconnect.
    Also, please try to run the server cleanup wizard to remove the unused update.

  • Mac E-Mail Not Receiving Incoming Mail From ATT/Yahoo Mail Server

    Recently "upgraded" to ATT U-verse. My Mac email client (3.6) suddenly not receiving incoming mail from the web-based ATT/Yahoo. Settings-all are correct: Telephone talk with Tier 1 and Tier 2 ATT reps confirmed "unusual" problem, and that the settings (ports, ssl, etc.) are indeed all correct. Tier 2 supervisor referred ticket (F23576784) to the brilliant minds at Yahoo for help. I've heard nothing for five days. Some emails do get received on my client, from (Apple, ATT, for example). Others languish on the web-based mail, with no push to my iMac. Tests of sending myself e-mails continue to confirm problem, with test emails sitting at Yahoo server, no push to my Mac client.
    I am able to send e-mails successfully from client. Interestingly, a couple of incoming e-mails from friends did manage to slip through the lines and arrive in my Mac client a couple of days late. Brave little souls, they're not talking.
    I've tried all sockets, all other settings possible, but no luck. Why is there no straight-forward answer to this proliferating problem? Odd e-mail behaviors? No documented or shared answers by the big outfits to Mac users? Mac mail virtually disabled and useless? Has anyone found a path to resolving the varied but similar problems in this area yet? Thanks in advance for any help offered beyond adjusting preferences over and over and over. That ain't working.
    Stuiee

    Geez, some emails are getting through, most are not forwarded to my client MacMail. They are also marked as read, which could mean that Yahoo is forwarding them somewhere...(?) Can't get ahold of Yahoo, ATT forwards me to Yahoo, Yahoo has no method of emailing real, technical questions, ATT supervisor actually called Apple and there is nothing wrong with the OS or my set up requirements.
    Does anyone know a workaround for setting up smtp requirements? Can't switch email clients at this time, would take a lot of changing existing contact info for bizz.
    At this point all I would like to know is, where is the problem? Why does a server (ATT/Yahoo) send some mail to my account, not send others, and marks all messages on the webmail as read? Thanks for the one response, I do believe the problem is some minor error set at the isp's server software for Macs, but who knows?

  • OSX Lion Mail Server Junk Mail Filter blocks incoming mail from any Yahoo address

    I have yet to be able to use OSX Lion Mail Server's Junk Mail Filter.  I have several contacts who use (free) Yahoo Mail addresses.  Whenever I turn on Junk Mail Filter, even at the Most Cautious setting, any incoming mail from Yahoo.com addresses do not make it into my inbox.  I was told last year by an Apple Enterprise Tech Support contact that "..we're still having problems with that Junk Mail Filter, sorry, just leave it off for now.."  WTH  In the meantime, the good news is I'm not missing any incoming e-mails; but, I'm having to sort through and delete a few hundred spam messages each day. 
    Suggestions?  Thanks in advance

    I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
    If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
    There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
    Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.

  • Accessing a server via the Server app from outside a router firewall

    So I'm trying to access my server using the Server app on a MacBook Pro outside my server network.  I can access it just fine when my client is inside the server network, but I cannot connect when outside the server network.
    I've done the following troubleshooting:
    - I've turned off the server Firewall option available in the server's Server Admin tool
    - I've set up port forwarding on my router
    - I've opened up port 311 on the router
    - I've placed the server outside the router DMZ zone and the Server app connects just fine
    - I've checked the box "Allow remote administration using Server" in the server's Server app Settings tab
    - With the router configured correctly, the Server app cannot access the server
    There's something in the router that is blocking access by the Server app.  Apple Enterprise support says they are sure there is no other port to open up.  Is there something else I should be doing to access the server from outside the router using a client Server app?
    TIA
    ps - this worked fine when I just had the server hanging directly off a cable modem.

    I and I suspect a lot of other admins would argue you should not be making your server accessible via Server.app remotely due to security concerns. Saying that, I and again I suspect a lot of other admins also want/need to be able to remotely administer servers. There is a better way however to achieve this.
    You should be running a VPN server, perhaps using your same Mac server. You should leave the firewall blocking access directly for Server.app but if your remote Mac first connects via the VPN it will then be connected securely to your internal network and then be able to use Server.app

  • How do You Link to Archived Sites, or files, on the Server via the Wiki?

    I've saved an archived site to workgroup/sites/www.archivedaite.org/. What I want to be able to do is to put a link on my wiki to pick up the index page within this archived site.
    I've tried to use "file:///volumes/groups/workgroup/sites/www.archivedsite.org/index.php.html". While this works fine in the browser location bar, the wiki won't accept it. By this I mean that even if I go in and edit the HTML the wiki deletes the link when you save the page.
    Could I save the file to the "Sites" folder on the server for one of the userers (like the serveradmin one), as a work around?

    Sadly I am having the same issue, and there is nothing in the control center that helps. In previous versions of iOS, I could easily listen to podcasts or my iTunes library though my Bluetooth headset. Double pressing the home button would bring up controls at the bottom of the iPhone screen and to the far right would be an icon where I could select the audio device I wanted. If there was a Bluetooth device synched to the phone, I could choose to listen to the music either via my phone's speakers or via the Bluetooth. This option does not exist anywhere anymore. I just hooked up my Bluetooth (finally got around to it since upgrading) and when playing music either from my phone's internal memory or via iTunes radio, it just comes out over the iPhone's speakers. There is no way to select any other option. Hopefully they'll fix this in 7.0.5.

  • HT201064 Fresh Mavericks install, iPhoto installed from DVD - won't update via the App Store

    Hi all
    I did a fresh install of Mavericks, then installed a few apps from the App store.
    I then remembered iPhoto etc. that I have from the original install discs (2012 MBP)...but whilst iPhoto says an update is available (9.5.1), and launches the App store it won't show as an update via the App store.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sadly you're mistaken. A 2012 MacBook Pro has no install DVDs. Apple stopped issuing install disks with new Macs soon after the permanent advent of the Mac App Store with OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Additionally, the version of the iLife apps; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand that last came on install disks are not the Mac App Store (MAS) versions and are not compatible with being updated through the MAS.
    The apps from that old disk that you have from another Mac may be updatable however, using the Software Update facility in the Apple menu.
