Fireftp can establish a connection to a server through my LAN

I am trying to use fireftp to connect to a college server for a class I am taking on the web. The college support is not at all helpful for mac users. I have a local network set up through my Airport Extreme. I have tried various changes to the settings of the proxies through the advanced tab on the network preferences and nothing is letting me get out to the server. After each change to the settings I have restarted fireftp and still can't get out. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

I realized that the topic headline should have said "fireftp cannot establish a connection...."

  • Using oracle (services in manual) following message appears Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:1158.

    when I use oracle 11 and have it set in automatic (in services) it operates properly. (after restart) When I have it in manual (in services) i get the message 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:1158.'
    We use the computer for various instructors but only one uses Oracle. With oracle in auto it takes for ever to log in (2 mins or more), when it is in manual it takes 10 secs for log in.

    you mean the local.profile?

  • Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

    Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

  • Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 'URL of the site' why does this appear in all browser??

    I have used these sites
    -www.facebook.com
    -www.dubbedonline.tv/ and some others for a long time but few weeks ago i couldn't access them anymore and this appeared :
    Unable to connect

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    i have also tried many ways to access them but none of the solution worked, one of them was checking troubleshooting problems and it detected that the remote device won't accept the connection, so, how can i fix this?

  • Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at "Every Website" but IE and Safari work just fine.

    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at google.com.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Im trying to set up a connection to localhost from my mac but keep getting an error message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

    Hi
    I'm new to working with Mamp, Dreamweaver and WordPress and am trying to work using the Firefox browser. unfortunately i keep getting the error message Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. when i type the URL http://localhost/explore_ca/blog/wp-admin I cant use Dreamweaver with WP without this is there a reason for this and how do i get around it?

    1- Is your MAMP working '''whithout errors'''(does it show you errors while executing or running and enabling)?
    2- Have you tested other browsers? Is your problem still occuring?
    3- Are you using '''proxy '''or '''VPN '''(or setted a proxy server or VPN server on your Computer)?

  • Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost

    I was building a wordpress website on my PC: using Firefox browser, accessing wordpress through WebMatrix which opened Firefox & showed a 'localhost:20238' address. It worked for 5 days then WebMatrix said ' website does not exist. I could still load it for 1 day using browser history. Then that failed too. Have ditched WebMatrix. Now loaded XAMPP & Wordpress (shown as succesful). Putting 'localhost' into address box. Error message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

    Does it work in other browsers?
    When you enter http://localhost/ Firefox will try port 80, since that is the standard for web servers. If there is any other software on your computer listening on port 80, the web server might not be able to use it. Can you check your XAMPP settings and try using a different port such as 8080? Then you would access the server using http://localhost:8080/.

  • Have an error saying 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:50972. '

    Hi, in case you haven't solved your problem - here's what i've discovered based on having same issue. where IE proxy system settings automatically allows local host url access; It appears FF system proxy or auto-detect does not, it's settings blocks local host URL access. To access local host, "no proxy" settings should allow or, only way to allow this exception (or any other exceptions) is through their manual settings. You should see in manual settings that the local host is already set to be allowed through.
    FF also has plug-ins available which allows you to configure multiple proxy settings/profiles that you can toggle between based on your connection needs. THis way, when you want to use local host you can select it's proxy profile and go back to default proxy settings for regular web surfing, etc
    Hope this helps you.

    I have installed N1 system manager but when i try to open its web page there is an error occur on web page which is i paste below. Any body help me. please i shell be thank full to u.
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.50.28:6789

    The error you're saying suggests, that your N1SM isn't either configured or didn't start up properly.
    N1SM was EOLed (end of life) long time ago & doesn't support any newer systems or S10 updates
    Also it's slowly nearing EOSL (end of supported life).
    N1SM was replaced by xVM Ops Center, which was released as of version 2.0 two weeks ago.
    I strongly suggest you ask your local Sun representative for xVMOC and disregard N1SM.

    Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
    many times and cannot connect to my local DB. 
    How do I connect to my Local DB? 
    Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
    instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
    I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
    I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
    May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated. 
    Some of the things I have tried:
    From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
    net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR 
    net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
    on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

    Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • Azure Webjobs with EF DB - A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server

    Hi,
    I have been trying to get a very simple WebJob developed and deployed onto Azure with little to no luck.  I have a MVC Website which has a common project which handles my Data Access Layer with Entity Framework.  I have created a WebJob project
    using Visual Studio and added the following lines of code to the Manual Trigger Function
    [NoAutomaticTrigger]
    public static void ManualTrigger(TextWriter log, int value, [Queue("queue")] out string message)
    RitualDBEntities db = new RitualDBEntities();
    log.WriteLine("Function is invoked with value={0}", value);
    List<Location> locations = db.Locations.ToList();
    string msg = string.Empty;
    foreach (Location location in locations)
    msg += location.Name;
    message = msg;
    log.WriteLine("Following message will be written on the Queue={0}", message);
    In my app.config of my WebJob i have the following connection strings:
    <add name="RitualDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RitualDBEntities.csdl|res://*/RitualDBEntities.ssdl|res://*/RitualDBEntities.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=ritual-pc\sqlexpress;initial catalog=RitualDB;integrated security=True;persist security info=False;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
    <add name="RitualContext" connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=RitualDB;Data Source=ritual-pc\sqlexpress" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="AzureWebJobsDashboard" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=ritual***;AccountKey=tQAP0gyMYKtWPJeIbsqk2iT2k69gyd1FwcyRf3+5Mc9b9EdYzpj0Dq8X2VHUmF*****"/>
    <add name="AzureWebJobsStorage" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=ritual***;AccountKey=tQAP0gyMYKtWPJeIbsqk2iT2k69gyd1FwcyRf3+5Mc9b9EdYzpj0Dq8X2VHUmF*****" />
    When i test locally (F5 Debugging) the webjob runs successfully and does the loop of the objects returned from the database.  When i deploy this Azure the WebJob fails with the following error:

    If i remove any of my database code and use just the basic Stub code my webjob will run successfully so i know that my connection strings (outside of the DB ones) are correct.  My MVC web application also runs perfectly using the same connection strings
    in Azure so i also know that they have also been configured.  
    I am now lost and need some guidance, so if someone is able to assist me that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ritual.

    Can you try to log the connection string you are using in both cases to make sure they are the same?
    Also can you share your site name, either directly or indirectly?
    This will help us investigate.
    Thanks,
    Amit
