CS5 FTP Log Question

In previous versions of DW ftp information was appended to the log. You could got through the day uploading and downloading and the information would all be there in a long log file at the end of the day or until you closed DW. In CS5 it seems that each interaction with the server overwrites the log rather than appending to it. I have tried unsuccessfully to find a setting to change this. I need the ftp information to append not overwrite. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Unfortunately, built-in SSIS FTP component doesn't provide that flexibility.
You may explore an SSIS scripting (VB or C#) based on FtpWebRequest classes.

SFTP and the FTP Log - DW MX2004

Can anyone tell me why DW MX2004's FTP Log just records blank
lines when using SFTP? Is there a way to change this and do later
versions do the same thing?
Thanks!

Folks:
Problem solved.
It's clear that FTP and SFTP are fundamentally different protocols, but the DW protocol selection strongly implies similarity by offering SFTP as a minor option under the main selection of FTP. I think it would be much clearer if SFTP were offered as a major option -- and then there would be an opportunity for offering SFTP options, too.
Here's a way of distinguishing which of these two is active: Connecting to the target site using FTP results in a succession of text entries in the optionally viewable FTP log -- no surprise. I discovered that connecting to the same site with the same credentials and the addition of checking the "Use SFTP" option results in only line feeds --scrolling, but no visible text-- in the FTP log window. I guess that's a reasonable though a bit indirect way of informing users that the link is active and secure. (What does one do to diagnose problems with SFTP for hosting services that don't support FTP? I don't know there are such services but it should be the great majority of them.) Works in DW CS3 but I didn't check CS5.
Another option, untested but fairly obvious: It's fairly easy these days to control host s/w (personal) firewalls -- even for low-tech users. Establish and verify a link to your server using SFTP, then disable FTP; the link should fail. And vice-versa. This meets my specification of "simple" and should be available with no extra expense and little trouble.
Brief Editorial: From the recent reading I've done on FTP versus SFTP, it is clear that the time to discontinue all support for FTP is long past.

Understanding the FTP Log

Can anyone tell me what the letters after a filename in the ftp log are? Or even where I might be able to find info? I'm trying to solve an access list/ file deletion problem.
Fri Apr 13 16:28:27 2007 1 172.16.2.12 0 /Volumes/ProductionRAID/FTPAccess/CustomerFTP/test.txt a _ o r marketing ftp 0 * c
OS X Server

It means the following.
transfer_type => a = ascii
specialactionflag => _
direction => o = outgoing
access_mode => r = authenticated user
The FTP log file is a bit cryptic. It contains such information as, Date/Time, Transfer-Time in seconds, Who accessed the file, File-Size transferred, Filename, Transfer-Type (a=ascii, b=binary), Direction (o=outgoing, i=incoming), Access-Mode (a=anonymous, g=guest, r=authenticated user), Username, Service-Name(service envoked, e.g. ftp), Authentication-Method(0=none, 1=RFC931), and Authenticated-User-ID(user id returned by authentication method. A * is used if id is not available).

Basic log question

Just trying out backintime. I put it in crontabs and append to a log file. So far so good, but I don't get time or date of the last entry. Here the crontab entry:
*/45 * * * * backintime -b >>/tmp2/backintime/messages.log
Question: Do I have to fiddle around with the code of backintime to get more info or can I do something in the crontab entry?

> Hm, comparing stuff takes a long time
<gasp> With rsync if you don't change the contents much it shouldn't take more than a minute ... If you have a million tiny files it may take more but I guess you would like your backups to run perfectly, so you'd better check what's wrong.
BTW: Although Dillon's cron supports 'every n minutes' you may want to check '45 * * * *'. Are you using the "stock" Arch cron or some other one?

I thought my CS2 disk contained the update but maybe not.
So after running the update from the link you provided, I get 3 out of 4 Site definitions to stick.
Some progress made
Thanks, John.

Why Don't I See Any Content in the FTP Log?

I am having trouble uploading files to my production server at Valcato Hosting. (I have done this many times before without any problem.) I was able to get a screen shot of a message that flashed on the screen when the uploading of files was aborted -- the message said, "4 files skipped". There was nothing at all written to the FTP log that appears at the bottom of my (Classic) Dreamweaver GUI. It is empty.
Can someone please tell me if I need to do something in order to see the content of the FTP log?
Here is a link that I found on the Adobe website that certainly implies to me that whenever one uploads or downloads files, the FTP log will show the result of each movement.
Checking the FTP log
Thank you for any help with this.

Right-click on one of the other panel headings in the library module such as Folders, and make sure there is a checkmark in collections.

DW FTP Log or History Log?

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically save the
FTP log Dreamweaver?
Actually, what I'm looking for is something similar to
Photoshop's HIstory Log, where I can go back an reference what I
have done and track when it was done days or weeks later. Thanks
for any help.

Are you *SURE* the 8.02 update installed?
Does this Technote apply to you?

Ftp setup question

sorry if this a repeat question, but i'm stumped. i've set up
a number of sites previously, and never had a problem using the ftp
with dw. my typical setup has been
ftp host: ftp.mysite.com
host directory: public_html/
username
password
never a problem.
now i'm trying to set up a site on a new dedicated server
host and these same setting don't work. as an aside, i'm using
cpanel and when i set up the ftp user i noticed the directory is
/home/wwwcoun/public_html/, so i alternated this with a simple
public_html/ but it didn't work. suggestions please. thanks.
mike

Try -
FTP Host - www.mysite.com
Host directory - BLANK
Can you connect? If you can, tell me what FOLDER names you
see on the
remote folder list.

FTP Bandwidth question

I have a disagreement with a co-worker. I feel if I'm connected to an FTP site but not up or downloading I'm using minimal bandwidth. He is convinced that just being connected is using loads of bandwidth. That makes little sense to me but I'd like an expert opinion.
If I'm looking for a file on an ftp server that will be there some time in the next 2 hours I see no reason to not be connected and refresh periodically to look for a file rather than logout and login.
alan

Hi alan ruta-
I do know that it will tie up the connection until you either release it or the server kicks you off. If the server is only allowed to make, say, 10 connections and you and nine other people are logged in and doing nothing it would be a problem for that 11th person.
There is a small amount of handshake data sent periodically but I believe it is a negligible amount compared to an actual file transfer.

FTP Flash Question

Aloha,
I am a teacher and would like to put the simple Flash video games for my little 1st graders on our HTML5 website. I have uploaded the following files thru filezilla
1. swfobject.js
2. teahousefla.html
3. teahouselfa.swf
When I go to the site it is simply showing the "ugly website" and not the flash game. Do I need to FTP the .fla?
Thank you very much for helping me with this newbie question! Smiles, Victoria

No to the iPhone question.
Flash built the swfobject.js, the html, and the .swf files. Do I need to do something special inside Dreamweaver? I simply saved the files Flash built and that is what I tried to FTP. The name of the website is morpheusflash.com
Thank you very much for helping! Very much appreciated!

FTP newbie question

Hello,
I want to set up FTP service on my Mac so my brother can connect and download files.
What's the best way to set this up in order to give him access only to one folder on my user account?
I'm new to this so be gentle ...
Christer

Ok first things first ;
The mac does include a sftp server that is wrapped around ssh.
First you have to enable remote login service on your machine , create a new user for your brother on your local machine that will allow him to access to your machine and log in to your machine.
you can deposit the items you want to share into his account given you have adminstrative rights to your machine. or you can make an alias of your shared files to his account as a symbolic link.
your Shared folder in your home folder shall look like this when listed in Terminal.
ls -Cauil
node POSIX perm. # owner group creation date name
58715 drwxr-xr-x 6 yourname admin 204B Aug 9 00:00 Shared/
if the directory does not exist you can use mkdir to create Shared in your home directory
To link your /Shared to his you will have to use ln
ln -s /Users/bertrand/Shared /Users/brother/Shared
when you List your brothers directory you shall see the following.
ls /Users/brother/
Node POSIX.perm # Owner group size Creation Date Link
1609826 lrwxr-xr-x 1 yourname brother 22B Jan 27 05:04 Shared@ -> /Users/yourname/Shared
your brother shall now have access to your shared folder via SFTP which will be way more secure and convinient than normal FTP that will play **** with firewalls nat etc...
If your brother is one your local network you can give him access via SFTP from your private address on your local network.. on the otherhand if you are remorting from one to the other you will have to use NAT to your Wan ip to your local IP . If you are both remoting and on fixed Ip's i would recommand a nice little Firewall utility called flying buttress and you can configure your brothers ip address with a nice allow traffic from him blocking out every unwanted adress to talk to you on port 22 .
If you are on dynamic IP and he is on fixed Flying buttress will still apply but you will have to precise him your new WAN address each time he might want to connect.
if you are both on dynamic IP you cannot setup easily the firewall to block out unwanted guests adressing you on port 22. You can surely turn remote login off while you are not sharing file .
As to AFP there is a nice little utlity named share points you can find here
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
AFP runs on port 548.

Ftp page question

Question from a relative newbie: On iWeb, you can set up an
ftp page for guests where any file put into your public_html folder
automatically gets listed on the ftp page. You don't have to set up
a link. Just upload any file into your public_html folder and it
shows up on a separate ftp page. How does Apple do this?
Thanks!
Patrick Cook

Found the answer to my own question. It's done with PHP.

FTP basic questions

I have read the FTP is not really working at the moment, but to be honest I do not know much about web design. What is FTP supposed to do? and in theory is Iweb 09 "trying" to allow the user to make more then one site?
I made 2 web pages using a family pack (and I can't even get the family pack "multiple site" to work on 1 computer. Even when I log in as another member my previous web page is there and I fear erasing it (one of the main reasons I got it). Can someone explain what FTP is supposed to do? I get my .com's at Godaddy and just buy the .com, nothing more. I was trying to figure it out last night but I guess I don't have FTP use with my .coms (I only purchased basic names, nothing special). At the moment I have two pages up, but wont more, not unlike anyone else here.
So before I start messing with too much can someone give me a simple explanation on how FTP "should" work with Iweb 09 and Godaddy? I tried to google it but no real help, and with Iweb 09 being so new using goggle to find help is pretty much pointless.
Thanks,
Brent

Brent...
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's a transfer system for getting files from one place to another on the net securely.
Apple is adding the FTP functionality to iWeb so people (like me) who publish to another server other than mobileme can publish their sites directly out of iWeb, instead of the old way. (Publish to a folder, upload with another program)
If you have FTP access to your sites at Godaddy, then you click on the name of your site in the left side of the iWeb window, at the top where it says "publish to:" select FTP, then fill in all of the pertinent info and click "Publish Site" at the bottom of the page.
In theory, this is how it's supposed to work. If it doesn't, and if Apple truely doesn't have the kinks worked out yet, then "Publish to a Folder" and upload to Godaddy the same way you did before.
Hope this helps.

CS5 Smart Object Question

I just migrated from CS4 to CS5 , I have a .psd that has layers with that are photos which contain blending layers inside their original psd's. They were converted and imported to the main.psd as jpgs. Is there a way to convert each of those layers to a smart object and in my case edit the blended layer which contains a blackborder so I can make the border smaller?
Or do I need to get the original jpg photo, create a new border and resave as a jpg?
rd

I don’t quite follow, but I would assume that one should place the files without the borders and possibly just apply the Layer Style Stroke.
One can certainly convert a Layer to a Smart Object, but if that Layer has been transformed before that won’t improve image quality and it certainly would not change a flattened layers back to a previous multi-layer-state – but like I said I may be misunderstanding the question.

FTP log file generation failed in shell script

Hi ALL,
I am doing FTP file transfer in shell script and able to FTP the files in to corresponding directory , But when i am trying to check the FTP status through the log files then its giving problem . please check the below code.
for file in $FILENAME1
do
echo "FTP File......$file"
echo 'FTP the file to AR1 down stream system'
ret_val=`ftp -n> $file.log <<E
#ret_val=`ftp -n << !

#mv ${file.log} ${DATA_OUT}/../archive/$file.log.log_`date +"%m%d%y%H%M%S"`
echo 'Log file archived to archive directory'
#mv $file ${DATA_OUT}/../archive/$FILENAME1.log_`date +"%m%d%y%H%M%S"`
echo 'Data file archived to archived directory'
else
echo 'FTP process is not successful'
fi
else
echo 'log file generation failed'
fi
its giving syntax error end of file not giving the exact line number , please help me on thsi
Regards
Deb

Thanks for ur reply
Actually i did a mistake in the code i wrote the following piece of code below
ret_val=`ftp -n> $file.log <<E
#ret_val=`ftp -n << !
so after the tilde symbol it as again taking the '# ' as a special character so it was giving error, so i removed the second line now its working fine.
