Connect To FTP://

I am having some issues here with connecting to a ftp://
site...
How do I connect to this address ftp://idx.fnismls.com with a
username and password. I have tried cfhttp and cfftp and it fails
with both. This address only works in a brower if you type in the
full address with ftp:// ... if you just type in idx.fnismls.com it
will not ask you for the username and password to get access.
I have no clue as to what to do. Any help would be much
appreciated.
Thanks!

here's a sample of what you'd do...
<cfftp action="OPEN" server="ftp://idx.fnismls.com"
username="username"
password="password" result="" stoponerror="Yes" port="21">
what's the exact problem you're having?
any errors/mesages?

How to connect to FTP server with out hardcoding the Password?

HI experts,
IN my SAP R3 i neeed to send a small file to FTP server from SAP application server using abap program.
I found out many FMS which can connect ot FTP , but password need to be stored in Program.
As per security issues i am not allowed to hardcode or keep the Password as constant , as my clinet will change the password weekly.
Please suggest me a solution. How can we give the Password dynamically to the system.

hi sivaram,
You can keep the id password in a Batchfile and create a external command which doesnot need anyput just call external command from program and transfer file.

Error connecting to ftp server

Dear All,
I'm doing file to file scenario through XI. The receiver communication channel is a normal file adapter and it is working perfectly fine . My sender communication channel is a FTP adapter. I'm trying to send a file from FTP to a folder on my integration engine. When i went into adapter monitoring, i got the error in the sender file adaper for ftp. The error is - " Error connecting to ftp server ".
normally, i'm able to do the ftp from integration server to my ftp server, but through XI , it is giving me the above mentioned error. I think some of my properties are not specified correctly. Kindly advise . The properties that i have specified in the ftp adapter are -
adapter type - file
transport protocol - ftp
message protocol - file
adapter engine - integration server
server - ip address of the ftp host
port - 21
username - username of the ftp server
password - password of the ftp user
connect mode - per file transfer
transfer mode - binary
folder - name of the folder created on the ftp root directory ( without the path ) Do i need to give the full path here ?
file name - file in the above specified folder
Kindly let me know.

Problem in Connecting with Ftp

Hi all,
While Connecting to the ftp i am getting the folloeing error.
"An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'mn01crm02:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /usr/sap/SAP MDM 5.5/Server/Distributions/D11_ORCL/ADCWECC/Inbound/SAP_ECC/NewPort2/Ready: The system cannot find the path specified. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor."...
Previously port was not opened now the port issue has been resolved. Please focus some light on this error. what can be the possible ways to overcome this error. Considering that i have gven user namr and password correctly (TO connect with ftp) in sender file adapter.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi ,
The error is surely of the Path .
Just perform the following steps.
1. Logon to the FTP machine.
2. Go the Folder where the FTP is configured....(d:/ smflder/ FTPFolder/ Parent Dir/ Child Dir)
3. Now in communication channel if u have used the path say (Parent Dir/ Child Dir)
4. Then specify the Parent folder also in the channel for e.g. (FTPFolder/ Parent Dir/ Child Dir)
This must solve your problem

Connect to FTP site with Apache commons net FTP client through Proxy

Hello,
I am trying to run this simple code to connect to FTP site through a proxy.
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP;

String ftpPassword = "myPassword";
System.setProperty("socksProxyHost" ,"10.148.0.131");
System.setProperty("socksProxyPort", "1080");
FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
try {
System.out.println("connecting");
ftpClient.connect(ftpHostName, ftpPort);
System.out.println("connected");
System.out.println("loging in");
boolean successLogin = ftpClient.login(ftpUserName, ftpPassword);
if(successLogin)
System.out.println("success login");
else
System.out.println("fail login");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
System.out.println("loging out");
ftpClient.logout();
System.out.println("disconecting");
ftpClient.disconnect();
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I am getting the following error:

String ftpHostName = "ftp.xxx.com";
int ftpPort = 21;
String ftpUserName = "myUserName";
String ftpPassword = "myPassword";
FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.setConnector(new SOCKS4Connector("10.148.0.131", 1080));
try {
System.out.println("connecting");
ftpClient.connect(ftpHostName, ftpPort);
System.out.println("connected");

catch (Exception e) {

finally {
try {
System.out.println("disconecting");
ftpClient.disconnect(true);
catch (Exception e) {

So I know the proxy settings are correct.
The java version I used to compile and run my apps is 1.6.0_06 Does anyone can help figure out what is wrong when I use the Apache commons net FTP client?
Thank you

Is the old AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)
configured so that the option to distribute IP
addresses is DISABLED? If so, configure the new AEBS
to act as a bridge.
Are you suggesting I use a set-up with TWO AEBSs? Set up a bridge (not sure how) and then use the old AEBS to connect to the DSL modem and broadcast to the new Extreme which will then be the router to the other computers on the network?
Do you have any port mapping or default host enabled
on the old AEBS?
I do not understand, not do I see these options in the Base Station utitlity; perhaps they are in the FTP options--but that, I'm sorry to say, is not obvious to my inspection.
Duane, can you give me a few more basic instructions? Thanks

Using a Laptop to connect to FTP via an iPhone hotspot

Hi guys,
When I try to connect to ftp in either Dreamweaver or FileZilla using my iphone hotspot I cannot connect.
I wonder if anyone knows (a) if this is possible and (b) how to go about it?
Many thanks
Jamie

Thank you for your reply,
I have attached a drawing of what I need to achieve. I have omitted the old ADSL links that are now obsolete. My concern is: Is it possible, and how can I configure, a VPN or any other method of encryption over an existing VLAN or VPN whilst keeping the existing networking configurations at each site. This is required to ensure that the IT department cannot access or view sensitive security data (e.g CCTV and access profiles) that is moving between the remote sites and Central Security. The other challenge is that the Cisco router will be installed in the remote sites one at a time over 3 months. During this time sites must be able to operate with or without the upgraded security depending upon what has been installed.

Connecting via FTP

Hello,
Recently I have started to struggle to connect to a particular server (we'll call it S1 for the purpose of this post) via FTP. I was able to connect earlier in the week (Tuesday) however, but when I came to try on Saturday afternoon it kept failing.
I am able to connect to other FTP servers perfectly, but when I try and connect to S1 it tells me my details are incorrect. It appears to be getting to the server but rejecting the log in info - which I can confirm are correct.
I connected my hosting company who tried to assist me. My IP address was added to their safelist but I was still unable to connect. I also tried another computer to make sure it wasn't my apple Mac, but that failed to connect with the same error.
I took my computer to my girlfriend's house and using her Vodafone broadband and the same details and I managed to connect instantly - narrowing the problem down to my home network.
I temporarily disabled the firewall on my home hub but still no luck. I then disabled the firewall on my Mac as well but it failed to connect - still rejecting the password.
I have now run out of ideas as I cannot think what else it would be!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance

Problem with AppleWorks documents when connecting via ftp to my server

When I connect over the internet using ftp to my mac mini server (using OS X server 10.4.10) from my iMac G4 (using 10.4.10) all my AppleWork docs will only appear as .bin instead of .cwk.
If I download one to my G4, it will try to open using stuffit expander but cannot be opened. It comes up with “An error ocurred attempting to expand name.bin unspecified Stuffit Engine internal error” Error #17999
However Microsoft Word docs show correctly and can be downloaded and opened without problem.
When I try directly on the server or try from any computer on the local network conected to the server, everthing views correctly and can be opened.
Could it be to do with any settings on the server when connecting by ftp.
Thanks for the help.

One problem still remains that when I download minicad files (which uses OS 9) they show up as .exe and will not open or recognisable by the programme
I imagine the file is transferring without a suffix and your computer is trying to guess what it is; hence the .exe. Delete this and append the suffix for the correct program and it should open (or use File>Open within the program).

If I can connect using remote desktop, does it mean I can connect using ftp?

Hello everyone, I have a question about connection using ftp.
Normally when I want to connect through ftp, everything is provided such as the ftp name and username and password by my hosting service. But now I don't have all these details about a local server in my company office because the server is actually not hosting
any sites. It's just a server where documents are stored.
But I need a way to connect to this server through my web application.
All I know are:
It is possible to connect through remote desktop to that server
There is an ip address for that server ( The server machine is in my company office)
I have a username and password that allows me to access network drive on that server (I can do this only by directly plugging the cat5 cable to my laptop)
When I configure my outlook email using microsoft exchange server, this is how my settings look like (example.net.au is just for example sake):
Server: server1.example.net.au
User name: [email protected]
Does the ftp detail exist for this server? How do I find out?

Thanks for the reply, Dave. The problem is the admin is not working here anymore. I wonder if there is a way i could figure that out. Out of curiosity how do ftp details created? If I want to set up FTP details from scratch, what do I need?
Thanks
you need to ask anyone from your company who is familiar in your IT infrastructure.
starting FTP from scratch, is okay but security is one thing.
you might end up an FTP server that is free or open to the internet, make sure you exactly know what you are doing.
even though there's a lot of guide on the internet, make sure also you understand what you are following in the guide.
Please check with someone who is quite familiar on this kind of things.

Dreamweaver connects to ftp every time I upload a file.

Hello everybody,
my problem is that dreamweaver reconnects to ftp every time I upload a file, for example:
i connect to ftp
-i download a php file for editing and it reconnects itself to ftp
-then i upload the edited php file and it reconnects itself to ftp
it isn't good for me because my ftp server has a firewall wich blacklists my ip if i do to much ftp connections in range of 1-2 minutes... the only thing i can do is to reset my rooter because of my dynamic IP adress.
can you solve this, please?
( sorry for my bad english )

When you download or upload a file an FTP action occurs. There is nothing you can do with that. How else would you expect to upload/download the file without FTP? I would talk with your host. Most only block too many file transfers or instances where you transfer multiple files at once at too fast a rate. DW only uploads files one at a time, so this should not be an issue. If it is I would find a better host that doesn't examine everytime you connect/disconnect like that.

Cannot connect to FTP from NetCam thru Router

I have a netcam from another vendor (AirLink SkyIPCam250) that I access thru my home network (WRT54G). I can access the live feed from outside of the network fine. Now I'm trying to auto-post pics from the netcam to my FTP site, which is hosted by GoDaddy.
After setting up the cam with my FTP info, when I try a test post, the netcam reports "can not connect to FTP server".
I've sent messages to the support departments for AirLink and GoDaddy and they indicate the settings should work. Since the netcam is going thru the WRT54G router, I'm wondering if I have to do any special port settings there (or even thru Windows XP firewall) in order to have the camera push images thru the network. When entering FTP settings on the cam, it indicates that it wants to use port 21.
If it matters, I've flashed the latest firmware for the router and camera. I can also access my FTP site from a web browser using the same name/password.
Most of this is new to me. Thanks in advance for any ideas,
- Tom

If you can access ftp site from computer, then you don't need port forwarding. It is needed to host ftp site. Make sure you have set proper ftp address, and correct user name and password, on camera's setup

Cannot make stable FTP connection - An FTP error occurred

Having problems with Dreamweaver FTP, any suggestions appreciated. Using CS6 on Windows 8.1 via Virgin Media Super Hub.
Dreamweaver successfully connects to FTP server and PUT's maybe 5 to 10 jpg files then stops with this error: (uploading immediately after PUTS a few more up then stops with the error again):
Error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put xxx.jpg.
Dreamweaver cannot connect to host. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
- The network cable is unplugged or the network is down. Please verify that the network cable is connected and that the network is up.
- The FTP server is down. Please verify that you can connect to the FTP server using another FTP program.
- The FTP host name is incorrect. Please verify that the host name is correct in the Site definition dialog box.
- Accessing the server requires proxy settings that aren't properly set. Please verify that the proxy settings in the Site category of the Preferences dialog box are properly set, and that the Use Proxy option in the Site definition dialog box is selected.
- You may need to connect to the server using a different port than the one provided. Please specify the correct port in the box provided.
Have already tried with no effect:
- Temporarily disabling Windows Firewall
- Ticking/unticking passive mode and the other settings in Dreamweaver>site>server
- Switched Virgin Media Hub to Cable modem mode
many thanks.

Edit > Preferences > Site. Try increasing your FTP Time out and disconnect settings.
Does this also happen with a 3rd party FTP Client like Filezilla?

Can't connect to ftp on business catalyst

hi,
I can't connect to ftp server, Im using file-zilla and I wrote my domain name for host name, I wrote my email address for user name when I acces to admin panel and I wrote my admin pass. but I can't connect. I guess I mistake somewhere.

Hi,
I also have this same exact issue.
In Dreamweaver CC......
I go to Site and Manage Sites. I click the "Import Business Catalyst Site" button. At this point, I am prompted for my Adobe Creative Cloud username and password (which happens to be the exact login and password I login to the Business Catalyst Administration Portal with). I am then greeted with a list of my BC Sites. I select the site I desire, select a directory to store my files, and the site is created. I then try to connect to the FTP server and it is a no go. I have tried the connection from 2 Different Windows 8.1 computers.
My settings in Dreamweaver CC are imported automatically. I have also tried changing the wordsecuresystems.com to businesscatalyst.com and it does not work either.
Connect Using: SFTP
SFTP Address: mydomain.worldsecuresystems.com
Username: mydomain.worldsecuresystems.com/[email protected]/dw
(Yes I have tried taking the "/dw" on the end out of the username)
Password: Same password I use to login to BC Administrator Console.
Root Directory: /
Web URL: http://mydomain.businesscatalyst.com/
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Thanks,

I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.
