Files wont copy from Server via AFP to local Drive

Hi All,
I'm having trouble copying iMovie project files from an xServe to a local drive. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.9, and what happenes is when I open the mount and find the file, I drag it accross the the users home folder-> movies folder and copy it. Problem is the source file is 3.14 gigs, and when it copys it copys a file thats 997KB is size, everytime and says its done sucsessfully. Obviously the file wont open.
Can anyone Help?

I guess your having some permisssions lingo. iMovie projects are folders that are presented by the Finder as if it were files.

  • Mac Mail won't remove copy from server

    My mail remains in the ISP's Inbox despite the proper setting in my Mac Mail program to remove copy from server immediately after downloading. Even after I close my mail program, the old mail will not be deleted. I must go to my Inbox via the Net and delete the mail with a global tag/delete.
    This problem began 5 to 7 months ago. Before that the auto deletion worked fine, and it worked fine in older versions of OS X. Is this an ISP compatibility? A bug in the current Mac Mail release? A bug in Tiger?
    I asked my ISP and his first reply said this is one of many bugs in Mac Mail and I should switch to Thunderbird. I'll look at that but I prefer to use Apple software.
    After 4 years I know how seldom Apple debugs Mail and Safari. Does anyone know if an update of Mail is on Apple's schedule?

    Try changing the setting to After one day or When moved
    from Inbox (and leave it at that), to see whether it’s just the Right > away setting that doesn’t work or that Mail fails to remove messages > from that server no matter what the settings.
    I'll do that.
    BTW, have you actually tried using another mail
    client such as Thunderbird
    to check whether the same happens there as well?
    My ISP, who hosts a university and has a higher percentage of Mac users than most, recommended Thunderbird so I presume it does well here at Ntelos.net
    Once upon a time, for two decades as the active proprietor of the Freeware Hall of Fame, ( www.freewarehof.org ) my 12-hour-a-day hobby was installing and testing applications and utilities. I guess I'm tired, because it no longer sounds like fun.

    new user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive?  I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

    My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
    If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

  • Move files to Trush from Server

    I have set up a Mac OS X Server 10.4.6; and i share caple of Volumes to Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 & WinXP.
    So my problem is when i move somthing to Trush from OS X, a window apears to say "The item .... will be deleted immediatly. Are you sure you want to continue? if i press OK then the file will delete. This dos not hapen with OS 9. can you help me???
    I wont to move my files first to Trash and when i decide to emty my trash the file will delte.

    are these AFP shares or SMB shares?
    anyway, i found an excellent writeup on these issues on the macintouch site.... copy/pasting:
    There are some subtleties that actually determine the exact behavior of Macs when it comes to trashing files on Network volumes for both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 and earlier.
    All of the different behaviors comes back to one basic question - where does the file moved to the trash go? Remember, the Trash Can is just a directory (actually, the summation of several directories) where files get moved to. There has to be a different one for each volume that is mounted so that you don't have to copy a file from one volume to another volume to put something in the trash - hence your "Trash Can" actually reflects the contents of these different directories on different volumes. I believe (though I can't prove it) that even when dealing with network mounted volumes this is a client decision, not a file server decision. The file server (regardless of the OS running) just gets a request to move a file from point A to point B - it doesn't know that this file is being "trashed".
    In Mac OS 9 and earlier for local volumes, there was just one directory to hold trash for that volume. Mac OS 9 and earlier didn't have the concept of multiple users (without additional software at least, and these were essentially nasty contortions to "fake it"). For network volumes there was a scheme for creating an invisible Network Trash folder on the root level of the Share. I don't know how it handled multiple users logging into the same share (and am not going to spend the time to figure out - I believe it had to do with actually having multiple Trash Can folders within the Network Network Trash folder). So, if you had write permissions to the root level of the share you could create this folder (if it didn't already exist) and the client Mac would move the trashed file there. However, it would insist (at least is some cases - again, don't know all the details) on emptying this folders contents (your trash) when you went to dismount the network volume. However, if you didn't have write permissions to the Network Trash folder or to the root level of the share to create a Network Trash folder, you would get the message that the file would need to be deleted immediately.
    In Mac OS X Apple had to change the scheme as we are now in a multi-user environment - there are many different "trash can" directories. Each user gets one in .Trashes at the root level of their home directory (whether it be a local disk home directory or a network mounted home directory). There is also a .Trashes at the root level of all volumes mounted. Inside of this root level of the volume .Trashes directory is a folder with a number on it (the number is the UID - user id which - each login actually maps to one of these, remember that computers do numbers so we are all a number to them . So, if I delete an item off of a Firewire hard drive that I have plugged in, the file gets moved to the .Trashes/{UID number} at the root level of that Firewire drive. Since each user has a unique UID, we also have unique trash cans - that in our home directory .Trashes, and then in the volume based .Trashes it is in the folder /.Trashes/{UID}.
    Now we turn to Mac OS X with network volumes. It would appear that Apple doesn't even try to create a .Trashes/{UID} at the root level of network shares. It just insists on deleting the file immediately if it is on a network share. I am not quite sure of why this decision was made, but it does make things much cleaner from a system administration standpoint. Think about a network share that 2000 different users have access to (and yes I have those - we have about 80,000 users of our servers across around 180 "shares" that is a lot of trash cans OUTSIDE of the users directory (since it must be at the root level of the share) that they have permission to write to and can have files in. That breaks entirely the paradigm of keeping all user writable spaces in one place. Now, this doesn't apply when you mount the volume as a home directory since it uses the .Trashes directory at the root level of the USER'S HOME directory, NOT the root level of the share. If you don't understand the difference between these two situations (mounting as a share and mounting as a home directory), ask someone who programs or does system administration .
    Now, since this is a client decision, the Mac OS 9 client will move it to a writable Network Trash directory if one exists while Mac OS X clients won't even try even when the two are looking at the same file server. This is why you get different behavior to the same share depending on the client OS version. However, if the user doesn't have write permission to the Network Trashes folder at the root of the share, Mac OS 9 and earlier will now behave like Mac OS X - delete immediately.
    There is one place where I get different results than what Alex Narvey described. When I mount the space via SMB with a Mac OS Xclient, I get the SAME behavior as I did when I mounted that same space via AFP. Now, if you are going via SMB to a different kind of file server (namely, a Windows one) that might explain the different behavior, but I tend to doubt it. As I said above, I believe how to move things to trash is a client decision/behavior, not server (and as I said above - I can't prove that). So, I don't have an explanation for the difference between the behavior I see and the behavior Alex described.
    Long, but hopefully educational. Doesn't explain WHY Apple made the decision they did, but should give one a better understanding of the different behaviors that can occur. Like in science, it is important to remember that different behaviors occur because something IS different. Now, perhaps Apple should make the behaviors the same (from a user standpoint) even when things are different (like what kind of volume are we dealing with, who has write permissions to where, etc). - that I will duck. That is an argument between a human interface designer and the programmer who actually has to try and make it work.
    Following up on my own post -
    It just dawned on me WHY Apple would make Mac OS X always ask to immediately delete a file off a network share, rather than trash it.
    For consistency of the user experience when dealing with network shares. In Mac OS 9 and earlier whether you could move a file to the trash or if you had to delete immediately depended on the SERVER and write permissions there on the server. So, on Mac OS 9 and earlier you would get different behavior and have no real idea why you got different behavior.
    The Mac OS X behavior is different from that of Mac OS 9 and earlier, but within itself, it is very consistent - for network volumes you are always asked to delete the file immediately. This means that the user has a consistent user experience when at that Mac, regardless of the type of server or their permissions on the different network shares they may work with. If this is why Apple made the change in OS X, I would agree with them. Consistency is more important than features (as a general statement).

  • How to transfer files into Time Capsule server via ethernet?

    Hello,
    I intend to use my Time Capsule as to perform backups and a file server. I have been using it for backups only and now I want to move files from my external hard drive into the TC for storage so that I would be able to stream the files over wireless connection. I have bought a thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter and plugged it in between my TC and my MacBook Air to enable fast transfer of files and backups. I am however baffled when I found out the transfer of files (900 gb) is going to take approximately 78 days to complete. It seems to me that the file transfer is going on over wireless connection instead of thunderbolt gigabit ethernet connection by default when the adapter is plugged in. Appreciate if someone could guide me through to solve the problem.
    Note: All softwares are up-to-date and my wireless connection is a shared wireless connection, meaning that my TC only serves a backup station.

    Mount the TC disk manually.
    In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC. I strongly recommend you use SMB names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric)
    Find out the Network version of the TC name if you don't want to comply to the above rule. The best way is to discover it via netstat scan.
    Open network utility.
    Locate your TC on it.. since my TC is correctly named it shows up as tcgen4.local
    I then type in AFP://tcgen4.local
    Then the computer can discover the TC and it will ask for a password. The default is public
    Type in whatever you changed it to or public.
    The TC disk should now be mounted.
    If this fails.. reset the TC to factory and start over. Name it correctly.. all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will be a lot lot easier.
    Then manually force the mounting.

  • OD users unable to connect to a server via afp

    We have a Mac OS 10.9.2 with Server 3.1.2.  We are able to access the server for file sharing via smb with OD accounts just fine.  But we are unable to connect to the server using afp with any OD account, only local system accounts.  I have tried turning off SMB for all of the file shares, but this did not help resolve the issue.
    The log shows a login attempt immediately followed by a logout.
    Aug  7 13:40:33 server.company.com AppleFileServer[736] <Info>: IP 192.168.101.2 - - "Login -----" -5023 0 0
    Aug  7 13:40:33 server.company.com AppleFileServer[736] <Info>: IP 192.168.101.2 - - "Logout -----" -5023 0 0
    I did edit out the user and the server name.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
    1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
    2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
    3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
    4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
    5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases.
    6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
    7. Reboot the master and the clients.
    8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
    9. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

  • Files Created in SMB Missing via AFP

    Hello all,
    We have files created by an automated process on a Windows 2003 Server, and copied to a shared folder (Windows and Macintosh.) When a user connects to that share via AFP, they don't see those files. However, when they connect to the share via SMB, they can see it. Re-creating the share in Computer Management on the Windows server makes those files re-appear in AFP. However, any files that are created by the server since then will be "missing" again via AFP. We have verified the share permissions are the same on both sharing methods. This happens on Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard. Is there anything else we can try? We've been connecting via AFP to this share for a long time, and don't know why this issue started happening.
    Thanks.

    If this is even possible, it sounds like a really bad idea due to the way AFP and SMB differ in file locking when files are in use. Your best solution would be to configure clients to access the same SMB share the server is.
    I am assuming that since you are asking this, you do not administer the SMB share.

  • Ppt files not opening from server

    Hello all,
    Strange things are happening;
    A MacBook (leopard) places a PowerPoint (ppt) file on the server. It has been made with Microsoft office 2008 and saved as 97-2004 compatibility because there are some co-workers who are not entirely up-to-date.
    The files are placed on a 10.5.6 server with AFP, DNS, Open Directory, and SMB running. A client is opening the server share from its Vista client and double clicking the ppt to open it directly from the server, it starts up powerpoint in windows, but then it says "Document cannot be opened/read, do you want to open a copy?"
    If so the document opens and can be read. On the server a copy appears.
    If the vista client makes a copy of the file to its desktop and opens it from there, there is no problem at all.
    Macs have no issue opening the ppt from the share.
    Also, if the Windows client first makes a copy of the ppt and then opens it, its all okay. Its like Vista first needs to make the file "windows like" before able to open/edit it.
    Repairing disk permissions, updating office with a service pack 2 is not a sollutions. Any1 any ideas?
    Many thanks.

  • Cisco application networking manager license file - unable copy to server

    Hi all
    We tried all the options like ftp,tftp,scp,etc., to copy cisco application networking manager license file from my pc to its server which has CISCO ADE OS .But unable to copy .can anybody know correct method to copy ??
    Thanks & Regards
    Sanjeevi

    Adrian,
    In order to install the license you must have a license file on the ANM server and install it through the command line:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/application_networking_manager/4.1/installation/guide/IG_config.html#wpmkr1120937
    No other way to do it.
    License file can either be copied to the ANM file system, or you can create a new empty license file on it and copy paste the license file content.
    If you have no access to the ANM server through CLI, then a workaround might be:
         - install a new VMWARE machine where you have CLI access.
         - install ANM on it
         - copy license (other you copy the file through any means or you create a file and edit by copy pasting the license file content)
         - install license with the command  /opt/CSCOanm/bin/anm-license install /path/ANMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.lic as described in the link above
         - save the VMware image
         - deploy the same VMWare image to the ESX where it has to be installed and where you have no access to CLI neither you can copy a file.
    Hope this helps,
    Domenico.
