Can I sync to a network share or personal web server?

Hello,
I really love the idea of FireFox Sync.
However I am very uncomfortable with storing that much personal information on a third party server, even one as trusted as yours.
Is there a way to sync up to my own web server (running linux) or sync up to a network share (on windows)?
Right now I'd be most interested in syncing the password file between my laptop and PC using a windows network share, and not having that sensitive data travel over the internet at all.
I know it is encrypted and everything but security breaches and flaws do occasionally happen and as a business owner with everything stored in my password file I cannot take that risk.
I have the staff available to write a addon to take advantage of this feature, if there is documentation available on how to leverage the sync code to connect to a different server or network share.
Thanks!

Sync folders to network shares?

I set myself up a windows server, running AD, print services, filesharing, network installation stuff, and what not. I got bored really, but I figure I may as well make use of it, since I don't know what else to do with a dual P3 system. actually, to be honest, the whole reason I got the dual P3 was so i could get some hands on experience with server 2008
anyhow, after much trial and error, I managed to get some shares mounted in fstab via cifs, one of which, is a backup folder for myself.
basically, what i want, is to have my home folder on this machine synced to the one on the server. I tried devicesync, which works....which was a bad idea because as it turns out, it wants to replace everything everytime, so its not really a viable option.
so I'm looking for something that can sync my data to the server, pretty much the way that it is, so that i can access it across my network in the same manor of organized chaos that I do locally. I figure a weekly cron job will come into play, but right now I just need something that can do the incremental changes, adding new files and modified files.
I'm hoping that if i can get this setup the way I want, rather than scattering stuff across multiple machines, I may be able to keep stuff on the main linux machine I use, and as long as things stay synched with the network folder on the server, I might just be able to quit scattering stuff across so many machines, and just have everything on the main machine, and then the network backup that i can access from any machine, since I'm running AD, and managed to get some login scripts to map my folders
any suggestions?

thats a start, I'm sure it should do the job.
but I'm looking at the examples on the site, and it seems they have splitting files by the day of the backup. I'm safe to assume thats not necessary?
just started looking at the wiki page, should have thought to check for that first.
it should do the trick, if i can figure it out, I thought I was a tech guy.....until I went linux....windows I can do in my sleep...but some of the linux stuff, man........at the same time though, rsync looks like a much simpler and straight to the point than anything i've found for my windows clients, i hate the windows backup for splitting files into folders in all sorts of wierd ways, and I really don't consider offline files an option for backup, I don't know why that would ever be suggested, at least for my scenario....
anyhow, Thanks a lot for the speedy reply, I'll post back with results, or if I need another suggestion, but I'm 99% positive rsync is what I'm looking for
just thought i'd note, I'm actually quite impressed by that specific wiki page, props to whoever wrote it, for breaking down the commands and explaining the switches, saves me doing rsync --help to get that info, jsut a nice touch I feel I sometimes don't see often enough

Can't copy files to network share using migrated account

Man this is so bizarre. I got a new MacBook Pro and used the Migration Assistant to copy over everything from the old MacBook Pro. Everything seems to work except I can't copy files to my desktop via a network share.
What's totally bizarre about this is that I can delete and rename files from the network share! I can also drop into the command line and try copying - at first, I get "Operation not permitted", but if execute the command again, it works!
In the Finder, when I try to copy a file, I get a window that says:
"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "xxx". If I click stop at this point, a zero-byte file is created on the target machine.
If I click Continue, I get another window that says "The item "xxx" contains one or more items you do not have permissions to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
If I click Continue, I get a final window that says "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
Note that this also happens in the opposite direction when I connect to my notebook from my desktop.
Also note that this only happens with the account that was migrated. I can successfully copy files if I setup a new account.
I've repaired permission on both machines. My old account on the old MacBook Pro still works fine, btw.
I've seen other posts with people having this problem, but I've yet to see a good solution.

I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it.
In WGM check that the sharepoint of your users Home Folder is set to owner root with Read and Write permissions.
I also created an ard_admin group in WGM and enabled open directory management on the client Macs. (Page 62 of the ARD admin Guide.)

Can not copy files to network share

Hi everyone.
We have a Windows Server 2003r2 64-bit. There are a few network share on this server and folders with user profiles (we use roaming profile in our infrastructure).
A few days ago some users lost possibility to copy files on any network share on this server. Windows says "Not enough space on the disk", but free space on server is about 12% (100gb). If copy files to other server, everything is OK.
Log on user to another PC didn't help.
If join user to group "Local admin" on server - files copying succesfully.
Creating new folder with FC permissions for this user didn't help.
FSRM role isn't installed, no quotas.
Anyone ancountered whith similar situation?

Hi,
It seems that you configure disk quota on users to limit the disk space usage.
Configuring Disk Quotas on NTFS Volumes
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758877(v=ws.10).aspx
If you configure disk quota on users, users cannot save data on the disk when the users exceed their quota limit. By default, quota limits are not applied to the Administrators local group. Thus, the uses joined to the "Local admin" group don’t have
the issue.

How do I set access to the same network share on a Windows server for multiple users on an iMac (school set-up) in Lion 10.7.3?

We've got them authenticating/binding with AD (after hours of troubleshooting to get working), and their Home drive on the Windows 2003 server loads in the dock, but they also want to be able to load the same network shares on the server e.g. "Students$" for every student that logs onto the iMac. I realise without Lion server we can't control it by group, but if we could at least set it up consistently for the students that would be a great start.
Thanks.

When you install you get the opportunity to install it for "All Users".
It sounds like you have a demo version on your Mac however, you need to delete it:

How can you display a dynamically loaded vi to the Web Server?

I am working with LabView 6.1 and the Web Server. I can call a subvi and have it display on a remote machine using a browser with no problem. But what I would like to do is dynamically load and run a vi and have it display on the remote computer using only a browser. I have tried a small example of a front panel that invokes the run vi method (and fp.open prop) on another vi when a button is pressed, but the invoked vi is displayed only on the local computer. Is there any way of viewing dynamically loaded vi's on a remote machine without having a copy of LabView running on it?

If i understand your question correctly, you want to monitor vi that are dynamically loaded on a remote machine without having LabVIEW installed on the machine from witch you want the monitor. I don't think it's possible how ever a good reference book would be Internet applications in LabVIEW. You can find it on BARNES&NOBLE.
Hope i could help

Can't access folder on a TC drive via web server

Here's the setup:
I got a MBA (10.6) as a simple web server sharing files to a remote computer via VPN. For this, I created a symbolic link to the folders I want to share and dropped it into the root user's library/webserver/documents.
The remote client accesses the folders via web browser with the internal IP (192.168.xxx.xxx/"folder") of the host (I know, there are fancier ways to do this, but that's how I've been doing it so far).
Now, I wanted to relocate some of the folders to my TC drive. I did so, however I got an error message saying 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access xxx on this server'. I tried to change the access permissions of the folders in question on the TC, but no avail.
I couldn't reach them from the local net either.
Anyone here, who knows how to solve this problem? Put it another way, is it even possible to access the TC that way?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer, but it was not the solution I have been looking for.
I found a provisional workaround installing MAMP. Dropping the symlink folder in htdocs did the job. However, I'd be glad, if someone out there knew how to do this on the native OS X Apache, since running an additional server is pretty bothersome.

Can't connect to my self to see my web server works

Hi folks, I just configured my web server to try some exercise in html+php locally. I can see all if I connect at http://localhost or http://10.0.1.3, but when I'm trying to connect directly to my pubblic IP i get a "connection error" message.
I tryed to connect through an anonymizer service like anonymouse.org and magically I can see my web pages when I browse my pubblic IP address. Where is the problem? Are there any filter to connection from my IP to my IP? Maybe I must edit host.conf?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Cheers.

Hi--
It depends on how you are connecting to the Internet. Some equipment (i.e. routers) doesn't work that way, you can't make a request to the public IP address from inside the LAN. It might be possible to change the configuration of the router to allow it, but that would depend on the router. Or you might have to just use the anonymizer service.
For what it's worth, my router, a Netgear, does allow browsing the public IP address from inside the LAN, and it must be the default, as I don't remember changing it.

Photos can't open library from network share

Hi all,
I have a Mac Mini connected to a promise R4 storage that I use for network sharing.
My iPhotos Library was stored on it and I was able to open it from my iMac and my Macbook Pro with iPhoto over the network.
I've upgraded my Mac Mini to 10.10.3 and so to Photos for Mac.
The iPhotos Library has been upgraded to Photos and I am able to open it on the Mac Mini.
But I'am no more able to open it over the network with Photos for Mac from my iMac or my Macbook Pro.
I get the following message :
"The library could not be opened. Photos has attempted to repair the library 'Photos Library', but it is unable to open it."
Is there a workaround to be able to open the Photos library over the network ?
Thanks.

And for the sync: hope they will eventually implement a "local network" sync that would be faster than Mac -> internet -> iCloud -> internet -> other Mac on the same network they use now. Some apps (like Dropbox) have such optimizations inside.
Can't imagine why they didn't implemented yet.
'Truth' is the reason.
Syncing requires that one place of storage is considered to be the 'truth' to function correctly.
In olden days iSync used the first Mac as 'the truth'. Now iCloud uses Apples servers. Tim Cook mentioned this when iCloud was released (or maybe it was S. Jobs) - it is a fundamental part of how iCloud is different to iSync & the old ways.
That means devices only have to check in with Apples servers to get the latest data. There is no requirement for all devices to be online & up to date with this system.
Previously the Mac with the 'truth store' needed to connect to Apple & then other Macs (or devices) needed to get data from Apple. If the 'truth Mac' went offline for an extended time it could cause many conflicts when it finally went back online.
It seems like a simple feature (Mac to Mac syncing with no internet), but it isn't the way devices & connectivity is going. Devices are getting cheaper, that means more devices per person, having them on the same network is not always how the devices are used.
If you want Mac to Mac syncing use Dropbox - Apple don't need to reinvent it - it already exists. Just be aware of the inability of the Photos db to work shared like that.

Can u sync multiple devices to share the same music etc...?

My iphone, wife iphone, daughter ipod touch all share the same apple id and password.

When I hit the sync button it wants to replace music and photos with my library. Is there a way to combine all libraries?
Yes. You need to combine the content. First pick the one you want to be the "main" library." Locate content from the other libraries that is not already in the main one, copy the files over, and add them to the main library.
Do the copy by the most convenient means for your setup, e.g. USB flash drive, an external hard drive, or iTunes Home Sharing.
Make sure in advance that the whole family wants you to do this. Some may prefer to keep their own library.

Macbook pro can no longer access windows file share. 'This file server is available on your computer'

Hi all,
We have a consultant who uses a macbook pro to access the internet and a windows share within our network. He has been accessing the internet and the windows share fine for over 4 weeks and overnight he can no longer access the internet or this windows share. I have got the error down to a specific windows share which is actually a share on a DC hence the loss of internet. When this user plugs in via ethernet he can view all network locations as expected and can access everyone succesfully bar this specific one. Everytime he tries to access this share he gets the following error: 'This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally'. I have another macbook pro that can successfully access this share.
I have tried renewing leases, browsing the network in finder, using 'cmd + k' all produce the same message.
The user is running Mountain Lion
Any ideas?
Adam

Find and delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file. This is what keeps track of all your current server share mounts. Maybe the file is corrupt or something. Once you delete it, reboot the machine and then try again. Don't empty the trash until you're sure everything works after the reboot.

Can I sync to a network share or personal web server?
