Folder linked to FTP site

Hello,
Some time ago I created a link to an FTP site that functions like a local directory. Recently, I needed to create another one but have forgotten how I created the first. I am able "add a network location" but that doesn't achieve the
same type of connection. Look at the images below. Number one is what I want to create, number two is the network location. Note the difference in icons in the first image. In the second image I display the properties of each type of link. I also opened a
DOS window. The connection I want show itself as a <DIR> while the network location shows as "***.lnk".
The type of link I want to create works much better with the interfaces of some of my installed programs, they navigate just like folders. The ***.lnk connections cannot be seen by the program's interface.
Do you recognize what kind of connection (#1) this is? And could you tell me how I can create another?
Thank you for your help, Tom
PS> I was unable to attach the images because my account wasn't verified so I will try to describe at least the icon I have. It is a open folder sitting vertically, there is an arrow in the lower left pointing upward and to the right. The properties
says it is a file folder, but its' location is the ftpsite including login and password There is only one tab shown when opening the properties.
Thanks again for your help, Tom

Hi,
Have you tried mapping your fpt site as a local drive?
The FTPUSE command maps a remote share (FTP server) as a local drive.

How to read all files under a folder directory in FTP site

Hi Experts,
I use this SQL to read data from a file in FTP site. utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
But this need to fixed file name in a directory. However, client generate output file with auto finename.
SO do we have any way to read all file by utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
We need to read all file info. because client claim for security issue and does not to overwirte output file name,
we must find a way to read all file in output directory.
Thanks for help!!!
Jim

If you use Chris Poole's XUTL_FTL package, I believe that contains functions that allows you to query the directory contents.

How do you upload a folder to a FTP site?

I want to publish a .com site to the web. I was told to sign up to a FTP "client". So I chose Fetcher.
I published the site to a desk top folder. (Did I really "publish" anything if no one can read it?)
Apple HELP then tells me to "download an FTP client from the web...but if I don't publish to .Mac these features aren't available:
Password protection
Blog comments
Blog search
Hit counter
Enhanced slideshows
Why not? And how do they know Fletcher won't provide the same?
Finally: HOW DO I GET MY WEBSITE FOLDER TO FLETCH? You guessed right. I'm new to this.

{(Did I really "publish" anything if no one can read it?)
Yes. You can read it.
Why not?
Because they depend on using .Mac as your host and have zero to do with ftp.
Here are some tips for using other servers:

For Fetch, try its Help. Or you can also use Cyberduck and try its Help.

Files on FTP site won't load

My goal is to link together a course, a quiz for the course,
and a course survey that are all going to be hosted on a
password-protected FTP site. My first attempt to do this was by
going into movie preferences and pointing movie 1 to movie 2 and so
on. This works locally and it works if I put all files in the root
of the FTP site, but if I put the files in a subfolder (making the
appropriate path changes in the movie and republishing them), movie
1 ends and doesn't load movie 2. Using sub-folders is neccessary to
avoide confusing learners who will be accessing the FTP site.
I also tried using the Captivate Player and as with the other
method, it works locally. Regardless of where on the FTP site I put
the files, none of the movies load.
It seems to me that this is a problem that I'll have to take
up with my Network Admin, but it's Sunday and I was hoping that one
of you had an insight that could help me fix the problem today.
Michael

Don't apologize, Michael, we've all been "stressed out". You
said . . .
quote:
1. I published a movie to the FTP site as an SWF file, and when
I ran the HTML file for the movie, the movie ran. I then published
two movies to the site as SWF files that are linked together (the
first one linked to the second one in the movie preferences), then
I ran movie A. It ran and and then movie B started.
Good. Step 1 mission accomplished!
You said . . .
quote:
2. I created a sub-folder in the FTP site and placed the linked
SWF files there. Movie A runs, but movie B doesn't run when movie A
ends.
Taking you at your word, you
placed only the SWF file in the sub-folder, so the link was
broken - thus, the 2nd movie
couldn't run.
You said . . .
quote:
3. I published three movies to the root of the FTP site as SWF
files. I also uploaded the Captivate Player files to the site. I
modified the Player XML file so that the 3 SWF files are being
used. When I load the player, the menu shows the three movies, but
none of them will load.
Check the other Captivate Player files. Sounds
like something got left out when you either 1) configured Captivate
Player, or 2) uploaded the Captivate Player support files. From
what you said here, it sounds like it is Captivate Player that
isn't running, not the movies in the XML. You might double-check to
see if you are opening the "Index.HTML". Matter of fact, you might
even want to change the name of Index.HTML and link to the new name
. . . it won't fix this problem, but after you get it fixed, you
might find that renaming Index.HTML will eliminate some confusion.
Just a thought.
Overall Michael, it sounds to me like you are really tired
and expecting too much of yourself in that state. Take a fresh look
at it after getting some rest and a new perspective. Just another
thought, but this one is even better than the first.

How can I display the folders in an ftp site in Windows Explorer during a Firefox web browsing session?

I would like to view and select multiple files from a folder on an ftp site and copy them to a folder on my computer, but with Firefox it seems I have to plod through one file at a time. In IE there is a Page button which has an option to display the site in Windows Explorer, which allows me to select and copy as many files as I want at one time.
Does such a feature exist in Firefox, or an approximation?
Thank you

That is done via an onbeforeunload or onunload event that displays a JavaScript alert.

You can try to search for a Greasemonkey script to reset and block such events.

Cant open ftp site on ipad

Hello. I have to figure out a way to allow ipad users to open a specific ftp folder from our ftp site on their ipads. so far when i attempt to open the ftp url safari tells me i have no permission. if i try it at my computer it works properly and prompts me for a password. the only option i have found is to give these people access to the whole ftp site via one of the many ftp apps out there. the problem with that is they may end up deleting something they shouldnt or seeing something they are not supposed to have access to.
ftp://[email protected]/CEB%20Joint%20meeting%20October%2017 is the url

Try to reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

IWeb To FTP site........Having trouble doing it.....

Ok, so last time I asked about uploading my iweb to a web site that I own and it was answered with a video that a teacher made for other teachers at her school. Well I finally tried it out and umm kinda didnt work out for me. So this is what I did.
Made my web page, publish to a folder, typed the url I want it to got to in the url line, went to my FTP program (its yummy ftp, not sure if thats the problem) and grabbed both files and uploaded them to my folder on the ftp site, went to my url www.uopaintball.com, nothing Any ideas ?????

Hi Jonathon, The following advice is from Fetch -- another FTP program; but it may apply to your situation...
"The most common problem when trying to upload pages created with iWeb is that for your website to work correctly once you upload it, after you publish your website to a folder, you need to upload the contents of the folder - but not the folder itself - to your server."

Create folder in FTP site

Hello,
I have an FTP site that is used in conjunction with one of my processes. I would like to be able to check if a particular folder already exists in the FTP site, and if it doesn't create one. I have been able to do this within the regular file system (using the file utilities components Is Directory and Make Directory), but am having trouble setting this up in an FTP site. I have been trying to use those same components used for the file utilities, but can't seem to make it happen. Is it possible, and how should I go about doing this? Thank you ahead of time for any assistance.

Kendy,
Yes I am able to perform this task in the file system without any problems (creating network folders on shared network drives). I would like to be able to do the same with an FTP server. Aside from using an FTP server (uploading and downloading), I guess I'm lacking knowledge of how the back end of an FTP server works (I haven't had much luck in my google searches on the topic either). Should their be an accompanying file system location for an FTP site, or is FTP something that is set up on its own, seperate from a file system? If there is an accompanying file system location for an FTP server, then I can use the File Utility components to search for the folder, and create it if it doesn't already exist. I have tried doing this with the FTP site URL but am unable to get the MakeDir to work in this regard. I have also tried using the Put component from the FTP utilities. Placing a txt file in a folder that doesn't exist on my FTP server in hopes that it would create the directory, but this does not work either. I can Put the file in folders that already exist on the FTP site, but cannot automatically add these folders through a workflow.

Sync folder to ftp site

Hi guys,
Pretty much a novice, but looking for an app that will allow me to "watch" a folder and then sync (preferably close to real-time) that folder to a back up location of my choice (including an FTP site).
What is available?
Thanks

Adobe reader not able to open links to files on FTP sites (10.1.3)

Hi,
After the recent Reader upgrade to 10.1.3, we are no longer to use the existing documentation that has hyperlinks to our company FTP site.
The document is published using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and the staff open the document using Reader 10.1.3.
In reader when they click on the hyperlinks to the FTP files, the following error is shown:
'Could not open the file: 'ftp://******(doc name)****.zip'
In Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended - when you click on the hyperlinks you get this error;
'This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator'
Can someone please let me know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm confused at why this worked in March 2012, but not now (May 2012).
Previously having a hyperlink in a document to download a ZIP file from a FTP site worked.
I did take a look at forum you listed, but I couldn't work out how the document could help me to fix this situation.
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/64389123/AcrobatApplicationSecurity.pdf?v ersion=1&modificationDate=1334708197000

NEW * Cannot upload folder to FTP site

Hi, I am a new user to Mac - switched from PC and I have several questions, my first is trying to upload files to an FTP site. It states the FTP can not be modified - however, using windows no problem. Can anyone help on this? TIA -

This is not an issue with Mac/PC compatibility.
FTP access from the Finder is read-only. You'll need a dedicated FTP client app such as Cyberduck (free), Transmit, Fetch or Filezilla (Free)

Moving a site with links relative to site root

hi:
we have a dedicated server (Linux, Apache) with several
virtual hosts:
/vhost/site01/home/html/
/vhost/site02/home/html/
now, i need to add some sites (developed by other people and
working in
their own servers) as "microsites" inside site01. so i
created a folder
named microsites and a subfolder for each one:
/vhost/site01/home/html/microsites/xxx/
/vhost/site01/home/html/microsites/yyy/
and a FTP account for each developer
the problem is that one of them (HTML, Flash & a lot of
Perl scripts)
was developed using links relative to site root so, they
don't work anymore
besides changing every link to the new path, any other way to
solve the
problem? perphaps on server sidewith a directive on a
.htaccess file or
in httpd.conf?
tia,
jdoe

Haven't used it since the DWMX time frame and that was only
for some quick testing, but an extension named Relativity can be
run site wide to change from one type to another:

Â shows up on a published ftp site instead of 2 spaces-and other characters

Hope this is an easy one I missed some how.
I have iWeb '08(2.0.4) and need to publish to a unix server through FTP.
So I publish to a folder and then ftp to my web site.
When I do this I get Â when I should be getting 2 spaces. Which happens after every sentence. The only thing I can think of that is working it to just use single spaces instead of 2. Though that looks kind of wierd for paragraphs.
Any ideas? I have already made sure the html files are going up as ascii. But I tried binary just for laughs.. didn't work either.
Though if I look at the web site with Safari on the local harddrive it works fine. Though looking at it through "vi" I see ?| inbetween my sentences. Though one space has no unusual characters.
Could it be iWeb is not outputting standard ASCII?
Thanks for any ideas...
Other than using single space between sentences....

Unable to access FTP Site via internet

Hello All,
Here is a problem that I'm facing accessing my home deployed FTP Server on Windows 2008 Server via internet. Below is the description of setup at my home.
1. I've a private network behind D-link DSL 2750U router.
2. I've forwarded Port 21 to my FTP Server in private network (FTP Server IP: 192.168.1.2)
3. FTP Site is deployed in IIS 7.5 with Anonymous access rights (so obviously no username and password is required to access it).
4. In IIS 7.5, FTP Site binding is set as "
5. I'm able to access my ftp site within private network (via command prompt and any browser).
6. I've registered a domain name ftp.tx-fr.tk for my FTP site so that I can use it from outside world and here are settings.
7. I'm able to ping this (ftp.tx-fr.tk ) domain name.
8. All firewalls are disabled for testing purpose (Will implement security later, once primary issue resolves).
Now here is the problem, whenever I type in ftp://ftp.tx-fr.tk in my browsers,
IE 9 and Chrome prompts for username and password, whereas Mozilla throws a message as "421 Login Incorrect".
Same happens when I use command prompt to access the FTP site using domain name.
Here is the funny part, when I'm prompted for username password, I typed in router's credentials (U:admin, P:admin) and I get
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in IE 9, "421 Login Incorrect" in Mozilla.
Whereas when CMD is used to access the site, I'm able to log in using router's credential but none of the command executes
Now is there anyone who can assist me resolving this case?
Kind regards,
Aniruddha

I would have ask in IIS forums: http://forums.iis.net/
Thanks
