Filesharing, ftp protocol

Hey everyone im trying to set up an ftp out of the file sharing property. I've selected the file sharing on, checked ftp. When i go to the ftp adress it gives me it says, "You don’t have permission to view “Macintosh HD”.". I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue, and point me in the direction of how I would get an ftp working, thank you.

In 10.5, file sharing is enabled by checking "File Sharing". Under the options for File Sharing, you can choose which servers to turn on - AFP, FTP, or SMB.
Oh, I see. Thanks - I didn't know that. It makes sense to group them that way and I always thought "personal file sharing" was not entirely self-explanatory.
I'll have to remember that file sharing -> afp is effectively the new replacement for pfs (and file sharing -> ftp for ftp etc.).

Http and ftp protocol extremely slow (pop working well though)

Hello. Starting today, on one of my macs, http and ftp protocol are extremely slow (page load 90 sec. instead of 2) (pop working well though). Provider finds nothing, on second mac all is fine (same cable, same settings … ). Cable connection, checked both sockets, changed cable, no change. Since pop3 protocol seems to work fine, this does look like a software problem to me. (Repaired permissions, no other tests or means. All used software up to date (OSX10.6.8 etc.))
I'd be thankful for any idea.

Not at all. Then I turned on NetBarrier, for testing and to avoid any damage (piece of software I don't employ in vain), and all slowed down again, but not quite as badly as before. Restarted, and now it seems back to normal with all extensions loaded. (I had done that before, obviously, and with no outcome, so it can't very well have been just that. But what?)
I'll watch and learn, and report back; unless you have any further suggestions for the moment. Either way, thankyou very much so far.

Sender File Adapter (FTP Protocol)

Hi Every Body,
I have a problem in using Sender File Adapter of (FTP Protocol Type)
I have given all required settings to get connected to the FTP Server.
When i give ( Source Directory and Exact File Name ex : MDMERP.xml)
File gets picked up.
But When i give (Source Directory and Exact File Name ex : *.xml)
it gives below exception
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "mdmerp6:21": java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Strange any guess !! :(((

Srinivas

Hi,
If that is connection error then it should have not allowed to pick up when i have given the specifif file name ,
.xml is too not working
my problem all starts if i use other than file name declarartion it throws error
of below kind
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "mdxxxp6:21": java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Can i use " Advanced Selection of Source File" and make it run\
With regards

File Sender Adapter with FTP protocol

Hi,
I implementet a file sender adapter with FTP protocol. There is a problem: the sender processes the files even if they're in use by another application.
I.E. If another application put files (via ftp) in the sender work directory (that is on ftp), the sender processes those files before their transfer is completed.
I don't want that this sender in a communication channel in PI 7.1, imports files in the system when they aren't completed yet.
There are some ways to block sender before it processes incompleted files (in an ftp)?
Thanks
Matteo

Hi,
File sender adapter provides a check for NFS mode
+Check this
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.+
Other approach can be to apply OS level checks

Processing Sequence issue of FTP protocol

Hi,we are using the standard SAP MDM data syndication mode which using SAP XI to publish the data to client system.In this sceanrio,we think the data files generated by MDM Syndication Server should be processed according to their time stamp in the file system, starting with the oldest file.I saw the Processing Sequence parameters of transport protocol File System (NFS) in XI file adapter,but not in the FTP protocol.It seems if we want to sure the processing sequence by date,we have to use NFS.
In the Notes 821267,it mentioned "The File Adapter allows you to configure the Processing Sequence of files for the Transport Protocol "File System (NFS)", which also determines the order for EOIO processing. Files can either be processed in ascending alphabetical order (Processing Sequence "By Name") or by their last modification time stamp (Processing Sequence "By Date"), where the oldest file is processed first. For the Transport Protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" files are always processed in ascending alphabetical order."
My question is if the file name is consisted of the timestamp,such as "data20081116122345.xml" "data20081117122040.xml",will the files be processed by the "timestamp" name ascending in the Transport Protocol FTP? For example "data20081116122345.xml" first, "data20081117122040.xml" second.Thanks.

Yes, if the file consist of timestamp then with alphabetical order, it will execute in the sequence you described.
Thanks

The FTP protocol: How does the AE manage inbound packets?

I've noticed the following with resect to how the AE handles NAT port forwarding for the FTP protocol.
1. Forwarding for FTP service seems to only work if the WAN port is 21, e.g. map 21 -> 21 works, 2121 -> 21, does not work (packets seem to be dropped at the AE). However, such a restriction hold with other services such like ssh or openvpn.
2. When ftp packets are received by the LAN server, they have the IP of the client stripped and arrive at the server with the WAN IP assigned to the AE, as indicated by the logs. Again, other services that we are forwarding to the server arrive with the correct client IP. So this is only an FTP thing.
The AE seems to do some analysis of incoming packets and treat them differently. One question:
Why does the Airport Extreme do this, and apparently only for FTP packets?

I found a workaround by changing the port my FTP server listens to from 21 to 2121. I then set the AE to forward port 21 on the WAN side to 2121 on the LAN side. This allows the server to know what IP the client is connecting from.
I'm still curious why the AE strips the client's IP when you forward to port 21 on the LAN side.

Sender File(FTP protocol) Adapter not able to pick multiple files(eg *.xml)

Dear Experts,
I have SAP PI 7.0 installed on HP-UX. I installed Guild FTP on my Windows Vista machine.Configured File to File scenario. Sender File adapter(FTP Transport Protocol)is able to process the 'input.xml' file placed in FTP INBOX folder.
I want to process all/multiple XML files. For this I have changed File Access Parameters in Sender Communication channel as:
Source Directory - /INBOX
File Name - *.xml
Immediately Sender Communication status went into red with error log messages :
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "172.XX.XX.XX:21": java.lang.NullPointerException
Please let me know what is the issue. Thanks in Advance.

Hi
It should work with *.xml
Check with the connectivity as well.
If this is still unable to process files then check with the FTP server compatibility.
J2EE File adapter is based on RFC 959 and if GUILD FTP is non compatible to RFC format then exclusion mask may not work.
Thanks

When you have achieved this already in J2EE adapter, there should not be any problem in configuring the J2SE adapter. The parameters you need are described in only help:

FTP Protocol support in JDK 1.4.2

It seems like HTTP is the only official supported Protocol. Any idea if FTP is supported by Sun One Web Server 6.1 SP5. If yes is there any special set up, currently it is not working.
Thanks

You answered your own question, when you typed "Sun One Web Server".
In case that's not clear, no, it doesn't support it.

Using tie-classed to change name of file uploaded through FTP protocol srvr

Hi,
I'm trying to use the extendedPreAddItem (or Post) method in an S_TieFolder class to automatically change the name of a file (an S_PublicObject) when it enters a Folder (via an FTP put upload).
I'm fiddling around with code like this:
AttributeValue val = AttributeValue.newAttributeValue(newDocName);
val.setName(Document.NAME_ATTRIBUTE);
rightpo.setAttribute(val);
But it does not work: in the FTP client the filename is indeed changed, but somewhere at lower levels the original filename is still being used...
Any helpfull ideas would be appreciated.
TOon

I'm aware of this... My ftp-client (FTP-Voyager) will prompt me if I "put" a file that already exists in the remote folder, and ask me to go ahead and replace the file, or cancel the put-operation.
However in this case the ftp-client sees file X' remotely and I'm putting file X, so it does not prompt me at all...
Stopping and restarting the FTP-client (in case it caches remote folder-contents...) does not change the behaviour.
Timewise this is what happens:
1) I put file X.
2) My S_TieFolder class (extendedPreAddItem) changes it's name into X'.
3) The ftp-put successfully completes
4) I refresh the remote folder contents and see the X' name instead of the original X name.
5) I re-put X (and would now like to have it changed into file X'').
6) Before my S_TieFolder code executes, something (I'm still suspecting the cm-sdk) deletes the X' file first... ==> the logfile does not show any communication with the ftp-client here now.
7) Then my S_TieFolder code executes and changes the name into X''.
8) I refresh the remote folder contents: File X' disappears, file X (just re-put) changes into X''.
More testing has shown that I'm also not able to delete these files (whose names have been changed by S_TieFolder): 'file does not exist' error.
I need to know:
a) If changing the files name on-the-fly using S_Tie class is supported at all.
and
b) if so, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

FTP protocol in address field

I am able to log into and obtain files from a web site by using this command in Firefox:
ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]//[email protected]:[email protected]
Can any one tell me how the same thing can be done using Safari? As it stands, this command does nothing in Safari.
Oddly, when I try the statement ftp://[email protected]//[email protected] in the address field of Safari, Firefox opens! Then I get 'Authentication Failure' from Firefox, but that is unimportant. I was trying to find some form that would work in Safari. The Help in Safari doesn't contain any reference to FTP.

presumably Firefox or an add-on to it altered
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
some setting via Firefox-Tools add-ons or even Firefox-Preferences-Applications may allow resetting that
or
an ftp app will likely offer you the option to use it as the default ftp handler instead,
or use rcdefault app from
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
or edit/trash the launchservices.plist & restart

Tiger - Finder 'Connect to Server' ftp protocol question

Folks;
I recognize that the Finder's ftp access is read/download only.
I want to understand why I cannot get a file listing with this type of connection.
I authenticate correctly and a blank Finder window opens.
If I use the cmd-line I have to burp the file listing out as shown below.
Is there a way go get the Finder to request this listing with a standard ftp:// request?
Seems like after all these years the Finder wouldn't be so brain dead...
Thanks for any help!

I don't know what "extended passive mode" is. It sounds like the Finder doesn't support it.
Actually, I think Apple is doing everyone a favor with FTP. FTP has no security whatsoever. FTP passwords are often login passwords. Using sftp is far more secure and more reliable. With MacFUSE and MacFusion, sftp can be integrated with the Finder.

FTP protocol help

Ok, so on the side I'm trying to work on this little project which would sync up my documents at school with those at home. The school offers FTP access to those files. The problem I have, however, is that I don't know how to make it keep the modification times on files that are uploaded. Uploaded files appear to take the time at which they were uploaded as mtimes,ctimes, and all other times, which is a problem in this case since it would make remote files always appear newer than local files. Any suggestions on how I could preserve the local mtimes during the upload?

neotuli wrote:They use novell crap, I portscanned them, no ssh stuff open :-/ , and I doubt I can convince them to add it. It's not like I'm talking about a university btw..it's just my highschool...
An indirect workaround which I've used before in a similiar case to yours, is:
1. Having 1 (only 1) tar archive containing all your files.
2. On your local machine, add the new files to the tar archive (which should preserve the timestamps as well).
3. Upload your tarball to the remote machine. It will put a different timestamp on that tarball, but who cares about that.
4. On the remote winclient you use at school, when you modify a file, just add only that file back to the tar archive. I believe WinZip handles tar archives nicely.
5. When you need to get something off the remote machine, get that tarball back, untar with replace only newer files option. I don't remember that tar option, or if it's default.
* Basically, I just remember having 1 tarball (repository if you wish) that had all my files in it. Whether I was just adding 1 or 30 new files to the remote machine, I tar'ed em up first in my tarball repo and then sent that tarball instead of individual files.
Not elegant, but it worked for me. Of course, if you are on a slow connection, as that tarball grows, so will the time needed to get/put them. In that case, maybe as your tarball grows, break your repo tarball up into several smaller ones defined by some category, much like how Arch has different repo's.

Secure FTP Protocol

Can someone tell me what port Secure FTP uses? Is it different than the standard ftp port? Thanks in advance for any help given.

If you are talking FTP over SSL, 990/tcp is the default. The port is configurable depending on the server software you are using.
That is unless you are talking about SFTP which is over SSH 22/tcp (configurable).
