Creating ftp site/server?  what do i need?

Assuming I have a spare mac and a broadband connection...what else do i need to create an ftp server.
Or is there a better way to achieve my needs...ie. to share large files (1.5gb each) with one or two other companies at the other end of the country (uk) !
what security would i need on the mac, and how do i administer such a setup?
i'm a complete novice to this area of computing so please be simple in explanations!!
thanks
Adam

Since you're a novice you might find it easier to use a friendly front end to an ftp server rather than running the built-in server. Take a look at PureFTPd Manager:

  • The built-in dictionary on my iPad only works with certain sites.  What do I need to do so that I can it all the time. (For example, it does not work when I read e-newspaper.)

    What do I need to do so that I can use the built-in dictionary all the time? My iPad 2's dictionary functions on Japanese e-newspapers but not on the Arizona Republic or other e-newspapers.

    Are you talking about the English dictionary?  Mine seems to work ok on the AZ republic web page.  Does yours not work on all webpages?  Does it not work when you type an English word in Notes and then do select and define?

  • Reinstall Zen Server - what do I need to remove?

    In trying to add more space to /opt, it became corrupt and all the data was written to the lost+found. There is about 5 GB of data in there and I'm not sure how to restore it and it would probably take forever. I'm hoping I can just reinstall Zen. The server is 64 Bit SLES 10.4 and we are on ZCM 10.3.3. I'm downloading the 10.3 media and I'm hoping I can successfully re-install. Is there anything else I need to manually remove? Do I need to do anything with the server object in Zenworks Control Center? This is not the primary server - its the 2nd primary. Darn reporting server install!!!
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Melissa

    The SQL DB is backed up so hopefully no worries there. Everything in ZCM seems intact and workstations are still contacting the Primary. This server is the 2nd primary.
    Thanks!

    You always need backups of your database :)
    Anyway, the server that is borked. Is it the first primary?

  • Creating FTP sites

    Hi,
    My operating code DirectoryEntry ftpSvc = new DirectoryEntry ("IIS :/ / localhost / msftpsvc"); foreach (DirectoryEntry entry in ftpSvc.Childern) { ...},
    in IIS6.0 work properly, but in IIS7.5 throws COMException exception under: The specified path cannot be found I installed all II 6 compatibility items, I have disabled user control authority, and tried "msftpsvc" also "FTPSVC" or "FTPSVC1"
    . Nothing is working. It is working fine for W3svc and not for ftp sites alone
    Can you please suggest a solution?

    I suggest you post this issue to the IIS forum:

  • After the new update, my FTP site is gone. I need it NOW! I am very frustrated. This is the second time. Stop updating.

    I can usually click on Tools and there is an FTP site option. It is gone. It left the last time there was an update. Please fix this ASAP as I use this for business purposes daily.

  • Open/fill in form on Mac that was created in Windows?  What Mac software needed?

    Created a form in Windows using Acrobat Pro 9/LiveCycle Designer. Need to send this form to Mac user to fill out.  He can't add info to form or see check boxes.  What software does he need on Mac?  Once he completes form will email data back to me to import to form, then I need to email completed form to him to open on his iPad, read & sign.  What software does he need on iPad to open/see/sign form?  He has the program that allows him to "overlay" and save signature.

    I'm not aware of any software that allows XFA forms created with LiveCycle Designer to work with iOS. If you want PDF forms that will work on iOS you shold create them in Acrobat. These are known a Acroforms. Adobe Reader for iOS can then be used to work with the forms, but Readdle's PDF Expert has the most complete support for forms and JavaScript.

  • When I try to send an email with photo attachment to a contact a screen appears stating "the sender name is not recognized by the server " what do I need to change so this will not happen in the future. I am a novice!!!!!

    If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.   

  • Drive 2.1 can not connect to our cs3 versioncue server what do I need to use our projects in CS5?

    Mac XServe is our CS3 server. Trying to upgrade to CS5 and found out Version Cue is no longer. Read and found the Drive 2.0. It can't seem to connect to my current server. We still have access with one of our CS3 machines. Is there a program I need to get to continue on with our versioning and the ability to use our projects we have? Or do I need to go into every project and export or something to be able to start using CS5? Thank you in advance for any help!!!

    sunnovagun!
    Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
    My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
    Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
    Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...

  • I lost all the recovery partition to recovery mac mini from beginning, what do I need to do? please help

    I lost all my partitions to recovery my mac mini server, what do I need to do to put them back on? help Thanks

    Did your Mac Mini come pre-installed with Mountain Lion? If so, use Internet Recovery (Command+Option+R) keys at restart. You should see a spinning globe. This will boot into Apple's server Recovery HD and let you reinstall ML. So, you will need an Internet connection. Your apps and data will not be touched as this will just install the OS on top of itself.
    Backup your system first before doing the above.

  • How can I find out the server port for a secured FTP site and creating a FTP Connection Manager

    I have to create a FTP Task to go out and get the files that our 3rd party vendor will be dropping on a secured FTP site. I have all the credentials to access that Secured FTP Site and have successfully done so through FileZilla.
    Now I need to set-up a FTP Task to go out and get their files and in so doing create a FTP Connection Manager. Is there any way I can determine the
    Server Port number from the Secured FTP site? I let it default to 21 and tried the Test Connect and it failed.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Hi ITBobbyP,
    SSIS has a built in FTP task, while this only works for the FTP protocol, it doesn’t support SFTP. But there are some free clients like WinSCP and
    SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component
    available in the CodePlex which can invoked from SSIS.
    References:
    SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component approach
    WinSCP approach
