Cannot download files via FTP

I have internet connection on a MAC machine. I am trying to download a driver from HP's website using safari internet browser. I get the below message every time:
Safari can't open the page "FTP://FTP.hp.com....". The error is: "Unknown error" (NSURLErrorDomain: -1).
Actually am new to Safari... any help?
Thank you,

If this is still giving you the same result, and I am able to download from both links, this suggests something in your connection or with your installation of Safari (I used Safari and that was OK). Have you tried with another browser?
If that is successful, then the Safari settings may need looking at. If not, the network settings may be awry.
What DNS settings are you using? (See System Preferences> Network> Advanced. If these are automatically entered by OS X (usually the router), try Open DNS: 203.144.207.29 and 208.67.222.222 (these are what I am using).
Do you have another account you could try in? That might narrow it down to network or the user account version of Safari. You might also try to set up another Location (network settings), entering the details manually rather than duplicating.
As for FTP, Macs will also have no problems with FTP, so I am sure it is not platform specific, especially as I did download the driver from that URL you gave. 2MBPS should be ample.
Now this is odd. While I was able to open that page yesterday, clicking on the link in the message gave me the same result as you. However, if I go to this page -- http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=445195&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=445194&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219 -- and click on the Download link lower down the page, that does work properly.

Cannot download files via Bluetooth since upgrading to Yosemite

I cannot download files, E.G. photos and spreadsheets, from my Windows phone to my MacBook Pro Retina since upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite.
I can send files from the MacBook Pro to the Windows phone.
Tried resetting PRAM, no luck
Tried unpairing and repairing all devices, no luck
Tried dumping "bluetooth.plist", no luck
Tried cold start & Resart after each, no luck
Devices are paired. Bluetooth Sharing is on.
Help!

PROBLEM SOLVED:
Go to "System Preferences" - "Sharing" - "Bluetooth Sharing" - "Folder for selected items:", and select a folder."
No folder is selected.
Prior to the upgrade the Folder had been set to "Downloads", so I reset it to "Downloads" and it now works.
Praise the Lord!!

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.

Problem with downloading file from FTP server

Hello all
I have uploaded a file from an application i developed and i want to download this file from another application. The code is
public static void FTPcon() throws FtpException{
   String hostname = "my.ftp.server";
   String username = "myusername";
   String password = "mypass";
   Ftp ftp = new Ftp(hostname,username,password);
   ftp.setHostname(hostname);
        ftp.setUsername(username);
        ftp.setPassword(password);
        ftp.connect();
        ftp.setBinary();
        ftp.download("file.dat");
        ftp.disconnect();
}The error i receive is java.io.FileNotFoundException: public.dat (The system cannot find the file specified) but the file is on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help

Cotton thank you for your reply
Any other sugestions please?The server disagrees. So...
- the file does not existThe file exists.I checked it with an FTP client program.
- the file has a different nameThe file name is correct
- you are connected to the wrong serverI am connecting to the correct server
- you are in the wrong ftp directoryThe file is placed in the home directory
- the ftp library you are using is broken (less
likely)I am using the library from jscape.I dont think is broken because i can upload the file from the first application.
>
FTP isn't somehow broken in Java. I use it all the
time. The problem is something listed above. I would
check all of the first four if I were you because
that's most likely where the problem is.Message was edited by:

Problem on upload file via ftp..

Hi afternnon,
Can have people tell me.....what is "Can't open data connection" on my upload file via ftp ????how to solve it??
regards,
mike

I am presuming that without these key pieces of the puzzle one cannot deploy to the iPhone. Can someone from Apple confirm (or correct me)
I've emailed Apple asking for clarification but I haven't heard back yet. I imagine we'll all learn what's going on at about the same time. And yes, until you get a certificate you cannot upload your apps to the iPhone (within the SDK rules).

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 "ExampleDownloading 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?
Regards,
GXW

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:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1855814
I'll keep working at a solution and will post if I can find one.

Hi I am trying to download the family tree maker that i purchased by email onto my ipad however I keep getting the same thing SAFARI CANNOT DOWNLOAD FILE can anyone help me solve this problem thanks.....bebe

Hi i am i have any ipad and i am trying to download family tree maker that i purchased online, but all that keeps co ing up is safari cannot download file can anyone help me .....bebe

I think you are trying to install a computer application to use on an iPad. You can't. They are incompatible pieces of hardware. If you want Family Tree Maker for your iPad, then you need to get that version, if it exists, from the iTunes Store. That download can't be done via Safari.

[HELP] Download file from FTP server

hi,
I want to write a java program that can download and upload files from ftp server. Currently I only manage to upload a file to ftp server but i cant download file from ftp server. Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {
private static final int CTRLPORT = 21;
private static Socket ctrlSocket;
private static PrintWriter ctrlOutput;
private static BufferedReader ctrlInput;
private static byte[] localHostAddress;
public final static String DIR = "C:\\zip\\";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String host = "192.168.1.1";
String loginName = "testuser";
String password = "password";
String dirName = "/home/testuser";
String fileName = "hello.zip";
ctrlSocket = new Socket(host, CTRLPORT);
localHostAddress = ctrlSocket.getLocalAddress().getAddress();
ctrlOutput = new PrintWriter(ctrlSocket.getOutputStream());
ctrlInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ctrlSocket.getInputStream()));
ctrlOutput.println("USER " + loginName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("PASS " + password);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("CWD " + dirName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("TYPE I");
ctrlOutput.flush();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(DIR + fileName);
Socket dataSocket = dataConnection("STOR " + fileName);
OutputStream outstr = dataSocket.getOutputStream();
int n;
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
while ((n = fis.read(buff)) > 0) {
outstr.write(buff,0,n);
dataSocket.close();
fis.close();
ctrlOutput.close();
ctrlInput.close();
ctrlSocket.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private static Socket dataConnection(String ctrlcmd)
throws IOException,UnknownHostException {
String cmd = "PORT ";
ServerSocket serverDataSocket = new ServerSocket(0,1);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
cmd = cmd + (localHostAddress[i] & 0xff) + ",";
cmd = cmd + (((serverDataSocket.getLocalPort())/256) & 0xff)
+ ","
+ (serverDataSocket.getLocalPort() & 0xff);
ctrlOutput.println(cmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println(ctrlcmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
Socket dataSocket = serverDataSocket.accept();
serverDataSocket.close();
return dataSocket;
}

Or just use a java.net.URL("ftp://...) ..., get its input stream, and away you go ...

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.

I keep getting error message safari cannot download file.

Every time I try to download a Mac game from Bigfishgames I get casuarina cannot download file. Also will not allow me to download app. I am a new iPad user. Am I doing something wrong?

Correct, Safari can not be used to download files on the iPad. Also a Mac based game will not work on an iPad. Any available Apps for the iPad need to be downloaded from the App Store.

PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter

I have a scenario where PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter, this zip file contains a number of txt files that I need to process, and the content of one of them send it to an ECC, now I'm using the PayloadZipBean Module in the Sender FIle Adapter, and I have two things if I use the Message Protocol as File, I get a Payload for each txt file in the zip file, but this payload has no structure, and if I use the File Content Conversion I get an XML strcuture with only one field and a strange string in it, and somewhere in this string the names of the files I assume all the content of the zip file, can anyone help on how could I achieve what I need that is to pull the zip file via SAP PI, then unzip it, and with the content of one of the txt files send it to an ECC via ABAP Proxy, thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Raul Alvarado

Hello Raul,
you can do it in futher way ...
pickup zip file and simply extract and dump it in another temp folder (can use scripts on OS level).
@ then Use another sender communication channel to pickup all these text file .
for further clarification you can use these links also. -

Cannot upload file to FTP

I'm trying to upload a file via FTP (using Transmit) and keep receiving a message "make sure you have permission to modify". I have read and write permission. I'm using my macbook and its a file I created. What do I need to adjust on my settings? I also tried using another outside service providing FTP and received a similar message so I'm sure its something with the macbook settings.

use a reliable FTP client, such as Filezilla (free app) or likewise.

With Firefox 4, I cannot download files from the internet. Please help me !

I cannot download files from the internet (with Firefox 4). I was able to until this upgrade. I am disappointed.
The site specifically is www.c64g.com/games.php?q=p

What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

Cannot download files in IE

I cannot download files similar to what is described in this question.... <Microsoft blocked the link>
I am using Win 7 and IE 11. When I try to download files, like WinRAR <Microsoft blocked the link> or Firefox <Microsoft blocked the link>. Files get renamed. For the winrar example the file gets renamed to "dl_".
Most of the time only the dot before the exe gets renamed but as you can see with the WinRAR example, that is not always the case.
Executables are not the only culprit. I think the problem happens when the download is initiated by the website, versus right clicking on an img and downloading. I use TaxAct and the problem happens when trying to download non-executable
files from there. I can only assume that the files are pdf's but the rename of the file prevents me from knowing what type of files they are.
thanks

Hi,
Do you mean that you can successfully download these files but these files are not useful or broken? Did you see any message prompted? When did this issue happen? Did you make any changes before?
What is the security level of your IE? Go to Tools\Internet Options\Security\Interbet or trusted site, see the security level, set it to the default level.
Clear the history of IE, run a security scan to make sure the safety of your system, change the location of the downloads, test the result again.
