Finder connect to FTP server no write access

I've set up my own FTP server at home and have access through terminal by typing ftp "my address" and I can open a virtual machine and connect to my FTP server just fine with the access privileges I had set up but when i use finder to mount it as a volume I can't write to any directory. I get an error saying the volume is read only. Looking at the volume in finder it says I am connected to "my address" as ftp user (this is odd because this isn't the user name i logged in as)
I've tried all sorts of configuration options and as a last resort I connected through a VM so this is obviously a problem with OS X.
How can I get this working?

CyberDuck and Transmit doesn't let me mount my FTP server as a volume (in /Volumes/FTPserver)
That's what I'm looking to do.
I'm trying to link my iTunes to an off site location, my new mac book air doesn't have enough space to hold everything. I can do it with an external drive and it work with a network drive. Getting off my own LAN I can read and play but updating apps doesn't work so great (this was using pogo plug) My upload speed is too slow to use Amazon S3 and I was trying to reduce costs by getting my dead desktop at home to do this for me rather then paying Amazon $20 a month. All I need is Finder to work with FTP transfers or a decent program that wont glitch out on an upload.

  • 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.
    Regards.
    Naveen

    HI Naveen,
    This link explains all the parameters that need to be entered for a file adpater. Just check it out and compare it with your values and your FTP settings.

    //folder - name of the folder created on the ftp root directory ( without the path ) Do i need to give the full path here ?
    Yes, i think you should specify the full path here.

  • How to  Connect to ftp server in active mode using the finder

    How can I can I use the finder command "connect to server" to connect to a ftp server using the active Mode. With Cyberduck I can connect to this server only in active mode. Apparently the connect to server command uses the ftp passive mode.
    Or is it an other way to mount on the desktop a ftp server in active mode?
    Thank you

    Passive mode can be disabled in your network settings, but I have a feeling what you're actually asking for is the ability to upload, and the answer to that is the Finder can't do it. There are some filesystem plugins out there that provide this functionality, but they cost money.

  • Keep getting an Error Code 403 for trying to connect to FTP server

    I am trying to access a friend of mine's ftp server so I can upload some pictures of a recent event. I keep getting an error code 403 "FORBIDDEN, You do not have permission to access this server". At first I was trying to connect through Safari. Then after a quick google search, I found out I should be connecting through my Finder by selecting GO then Connect to Server. When I did that it says Connection Failed - "They could be a problem with the server or it could be down".
    Now a friend of mine who has a PC told me he was able to access the server and upload his pictures with no problem!
    So why am I getting all these error codes and he was able to access the server? Yes, I was giving permission by the owner of the server to upload my pictures!!!

    In the Finder->Go->Go to Server->this should do the job:
    *ftp://ftp."URL to server"*
    where it's something like: ftp.xyz.yyy.com
    In the Terminal app, all you need to use is:
    *ftp "URL to server"*

  • Error occured while connecting to FTP Server...

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the file adapter to pick the file from FTP server however file adapter raised the following error:
    Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server \"64.72.230.42:21\": java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
    I changed the timeout of the communication channel to 1200 but still getting this error after a minute.
    The ftp server is working fine with my ftp client.
    Could you please help me to fix this issue ?

    I got the following message
    "Processing finished successfully" when the ftp folder did not have the required file.
    Do you mean, the connection is ok when there is no file in the source directory.
    Yes.
    However as soon as i put the file start getting the same error message.
    This could be then an authorization issue. Check if your source dir & file are having proper authorizations. Check with your BASIS guy.
    I set the source directory to a folder name which does not exit on ftp server. now i am getting "The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /user038888888888888888/input: The system cannot find the path specified:"
    So, do you think it is a problem of authorizations ? and if it is then how can i change it ? should i have to change the permissions of the folder on ftp server?
    Thanks for your support. I really appreciate your help. I almost spend a whole day trying to fix this issue.
    Regards,
    Ehsaan.

  • Failure to connect to FTP server using FTP Adapter?

    Attempting to setup a SOA 11g composite app to demo the use of a FTP Adapter. Composite used a File Adapter (Read, opaque schema) wired to a mediator which was wired to a FTPAdapter (ASCII-Put, opaque schema). The routing rule in the mediator maps the File-Read opaque schema to the FTP ASCII-Put opaque schema.
    In the document "+User's Guide for Technology Adapters 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)+" I followed the steps in 4.2.21 Securing Enterprise Information System Credentials to set username/password (ftpuser/oracle) for the eis/Ftp/FtpAdapter connection. This is the default JNDI name for the FTP Adapter.
    For the FTP server installed Filezilla server. Configured the home directory to appropriate folder.
    Installed Filezilla client to test the server using ftpuser/oracle - as the created user on the server. No problem here – can see the appropriate folders and ftp files to/from the folders.
    Used a similar composite using a File Adapter-Write (opaque schema) instead of the FTPAdapter (ASCII-Put - opaque schema). This composite works with no issues. FYI – using JDev 11.1.1.1, SOA Suite 11g.
    Was not using VPN.
    When placed the required file in its directory (for the File-Read) it was read but the ASCII-Put file from Filezilla server did not appear.
    Based on error/fault messages seems to be a login issue. However, have no idea as to where the issue as all usernames/passwords are correct. But then - isn't that always the case?
    After having worked on this for a couple of days - need some help - please.
    The following error messages appeared:

    I've an ftp adapter configured to read from windows server(SOA server running on IBM AIX, filezila on Windows server). I've provided the hostname,username,password, accountname,ftpAbsolutePathBegin as /, port as 21.
    I've set listParserKey to WIN.
    Still FTPAdapter is unable to read from Windows server.
    I'm able to get, delete etc from ftp commands through putty.Port 21 is open.
    Any clue?

  • FTP Server have been accessed by Internet Explorer 7

  • Cannot connect to ftp server other than in safe boot

    hello. After updating to 10.6, no ftp client in my use will connect or upload to an ftp server. Apple's finder (connect to server) shows the remote contents, but will not upload. Dreamweaver, FileZilla, Cyberduck and ClassicFTP don't connect at all. None of these occur in safe mode, which should indicate a conflict with third party software—however, which one could that be? I turn off all firewalls (including the system's); what else? I run Butler, no other third pary software. Anyone had that, or any idea?
    Thanks

    Could it be a signal? Have a look here http://suite101.com/article/2012-end-of-the-world-predictions-by-nostradamus-a148071
    On a more professional note, I think it is best to contact the host, he/she is sure to help you.

  • Cannot connect to ftp server

    We have three MBPs in an external office connecting via internet to our main FTP server in another office. One connects perfectly via the GO > Connect to server > address > user and password login. The server mounts on the desktop as it should. The other two cannot. The process skips the > user and password login phase and they connect as guests with no access. If you click on the Disconnect button then the Connect As flashes for a microsecond and disappears.
    They all connect perfectly with the Firefox Fire FTP. It appears that the OS has memorised some setting and and uses that setting for their connection through the GO> Connect to server window. How would you fix that?
    Thank you very much
    antonio

    Port 21 is the control port. You also need to open the data port. Given typical modern network configurations with two firewalls (on the client network and on the server network), both active and passive transfers can be blocked, too.
    Here's some stuff that describes the general sequence and some of the risks: [Configuring FTP Services On Mac OS X|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/942] and [Why You Don't Want FTP; Firewalls And Ephemeral Ports|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/530]
    It's vastly easier to use sftp. Open port 22, and Bob's Your Uncle; you're done. And you're also not showing off your username and password to everybody in the coffee shop (unlike ftp), and you can choose to set up a no-password or a passphrase-based login using certificates.

  • 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.

  • Content Management Server-Read/Write Access

    If one is migrating to a stand alone Content Management Server, then how does one control the read/write access to this CMS for the employees of an organisation?
    Previously, the CMS was SAP Portal Based and hence the read/write access was controlled from the KM Content in the Portal.
    Is there anything else to be kept in mind  as pointers when migrating to a stand alone CMS?
    Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly helpful.

  • Mac won't connect to ftp server for iweb

    my mac won't connect  to the ftp server. i have been
    trying to publish a site on iweb

    Well, do you actually have a web host server to be able to connect to in the first place.  You need this before you can publish a website from iWeb in that way.
    Also, you don't publish a site on iWeb.  You use iWeb to design your website and then publish from iWeb to your web host/server.
    What version of iWeb are you using?
    More info generally would be useful.

  • Can't connect to FTPS server

    Hi,
    I have problem with connection to FTPS servers. When I try to connect to my testing virtual server, i get:
    GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.
    I am using current Filezilla, server software is vsftpd from Debian Squeeze (last version there). I tried connecting to another server with Pure-ftpd (also from Squeeze), same error. I also tried lftp, same error.
    I tried downgrading gnu-tls package to 3.0.4-2 and also downgrading filezilla to 3.5.2-1, still same error.
    I do not even know what could cause such error. I tried googling but with no success (there were some errors with GnuTLS, they have been corrected). What could be the cause?

    SFTP and FTPS are two different things...
    * FTP — File Transfer Protocol. Popular and fast way of moving files between a client and a server. The problem with FTP is that it’s not secured by encryption, leaving files at risk of being compromised during transport.
    * FTPS — File Transfer Protocol over SSL. FTPS is an encrypted flavor of the FTP protocol (kind of like how HTTPS is an encrypted flavor of HTTP).
    * SFTP — SSH File Transfer Protocol. SFTP uses the Secure Shell (ie: SSH) protocol to encrypt all file transfer communications. SFTP is a bit more firewall friendly because it uses only 1 port and it’s also a bit more secure than FTPS. SFTP is gaining steam as the most preferred method of secure file transfer, particularly in infrastructures that favor unix but SFTP is quickly gaining steam in Windows environments as well.

  • Cannot Connect To FTP Server (Waiting For Server)

    no matter what I do, I am unable to connect to my FTP server. In dreamweaver when I try and connect my site, it just keeps saying waiting for server. I have also just recently downloaded filezilla to see if it was dreamweaver that was messing up, and it turns out, it wasn't! because I am having the same problems on there too, when I try and connect to my site in filezilla, it just times out. I have disabled all my firewalls, played around with every setting possible (turning mt FTP from passive to active etc) whats going on? is the server playing up? someone help me please! I have had no problems like this before, it only began yesterday.

    Could it be a signal? Have a look here http://suite101.com/article/2012-end-of-the-world-predictions-by-nostradamus-a148071
    On a more professional note, I think it is best to contact the host, he/she is sure to help you.

  • Connecting to FTP server in Finder

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect to my web hosting via ftp. Whenever I try though I get the message, "The user name or password you entered is not valid. Please try again".
    I know the username and password is correct as I can access the server with 3 windows PC on the same network as my mac by using this combination.
    I have turned of the firewall on my router and my mac, checked PASV is enabled and I still cannot connect.
    I get essentially the same messages in Fetch and Cyberduck.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave.

    Off the top of my head I don't have a solution for you. However have you spoken to the webhosting company their ftp logs may be able to shed some light as to why you can't login from your mac.
