FTP Access on OSX Server via a browser

I have a number of ftp clients set up which can succesfully upload/download files using ftp client software (Fetch/Easy FTP).
I have a windows user who wants to upload his stuff via ftp in his web browser (IE presumably).
Not had any success (Guest access is disabled) with his account settings in browser though I can get in using same settings in ftp client.
Is this possible with the built in ftp element of OSX Server without having to install something like Rumpus?

IE is the only browser I know of that supports FTP upload via the web browser window. Most Mac browsers that I'm aware of simply pass the FTP connection off to the Finder to deal with.
The Finder, of course, doesn't support FTP upload.
So unless your clients are comfortable working in the command line, you're going to need some additional software. That software could be as simple as an AppleScript application that performs the upload, but you're going to need something.

Problem accessing WL6.1 server from IE browser

          Hello,
          Im currently running weblogic server 6.1sp4 on microsoft xp home edition.
          I started weblogic using the startWebLogic.cmd file. For the most part it looks
          like the server starts up correctly but when I try to access the index.html page
          through internet explorer 6.0 by typing http://localhost:8001/index.html I get
          a "The page cannot be displayed" error.
          The server log looks alright upon start up.
          below is the output from the logs.

Have anyone browsed the Embedded LDAP server successfully in 8.1GA usingan external
LDAP browser?
I followed instructions onhttp://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/secmanage/ldap.html#1100263
but hit a road block. The broswer is not able to connect when using UserDN. When
I connect using anonymous mode, it is able to connect fine.
Is there a bug in the 8.1 Embedded LDAP server?
Are you using the cn=Admin dn or a user dn? If you are using a user dn, you
will need to
modify acls.prop.

More than 1 user access control of vi via web browser

Hi all,
Currently I've a vi that need to share it with other PCs using web browser (eg: IE) I've tried using Web Publishing Tools and I noticed that only 1 pc at a time can grant access control of the vi. May I know is there any methods or other 3rd party software that could possibly able to give multiple PCs to control one vi simultaneously over the net using web browser? THANKS!!!...

Hello,
I’m not so sure that using VNC or remote desktop to have
multiple users control LabVIEW is really in-line with our license policy. I suppose if you built your program into an executable
and had the VNC users access the exe program they wouldn't really be using the development
environment so I suppose this would be ok…
I found a tutorial which might help. Check out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/bc79065d8b2e0d0886256c590072a454.
Hopefully this will help out for now! Let us know if you have questions-

Open port 21 for ftp in mac osx server 10.6

Hello
I want to open port 21. The firewall in the mac server is already off.The ftp server is enabled in this mac server. The NAT in the router is set accordingly to the internal IP of this MAC computer (OS X Server 10.6). However, whenever I try http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ to check whether the port 21 is open or not, it still says that the port is closed.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

well if your trying to connect to the host, without an active network port you could try connecting with localhost or 107.0.0.1. You could also try deleting the ethernet interface and re-adding it. And or hard coding the ethernet interface to static ip.

How to access files on server via VPN

hey,
i have set up all the VPN side of the server and is all working.
Opened all ports for vpn services on my router etc.
At work we have a situation that automatically logs into the server and opens files. This also puts the server under "shared" in the finder window.
The question is how do i replicate seeing the files or the server under the shared area in finder as if we were at work?
I have read other peoples posts and the only things i can see is about wide area bonjour. Is this what i need to setup?
all help appreciated.

Giving someone access to my server thru ftp

Hey there,
I need to give someone outside my office a link with a password to be able to upload files to our server I don't know how to do it can anyone help...
we're using leopard server and I'm not sure what else anyone needs to help me with this problem
any help will be appreciate it!
~D

Hi,
To allow access to your server via FTP:
1. Select your server in the list in Server Admin.
2. Click Settings, then click the Services tab.
3. Make sure FTP is checked on the list.
4. Now click the little arrow next to your server on the list of servers to your left.
5. Click FTP, then click Settings, then goto the General tab.
6. Check Enable anonymous access if you don't want your clients to enter a username or password.
7. Goto the Advanced tab.
8. Make sure Authenticated Users See: is set to FTP Root with Share Points.
9. If you want to put your FTP files in a folder other than /Library/FTPServer/FTPRoot, change FTP Root.
10. Make sure you save your settings by clicking the Save button in the lower right-hand corner.
11. Select FTP under your server in the list of servers to your left, then goto the Server Menu > Start or Stop Service.
12. If you have an AirPort or AirPort or AirPort Extreme Base Station goto step 12A, if you have a non-apple router goto step 12B
12A. Start Server Preferences (Applications > Server > Server Preferences), then click Security. Make sure security is on. If it is not, turn it on and enter your AirPort password when prompted. Click add ( + ). Select Other under Add Service. Name it FTP and enter 21 under Port. Click Add. Exit Server Preferences and Restart the AirPort if prompted.
12B. Since there are too many router brands and models to fit into this post, it might be a good idea to google how to forward ports on your specific brand of router. Start Safari and goto 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1 (which ever one works). Enter your username and password when prompted. If you do not know, ask your network admin or try admin as username and no password or admin as the password. Goto Port Forwarding, Virtual Servers, or something similar. Add a new port or entry. Name it FTP, select it's type as TCP&UDP (or if that isn't available, add two separate entries: one TCP and the other UDP), and the port(s) as 21.
13. Go to whatismyipaddress.com and write down the IP address it gives you. This is what your clients will type in to access your server. (Note that this IP address changes every couple of days, so repeat this step every so often)
14. To connect to your FTP server, go to the Go menu in Finder > Connect To Server. Enter ftp://youripaddress (replace youripaddress with the one you wrote down) and click Connect. / should mount on the desktop, and you should be able to access the server.
15. If you have any problems getting clients to connect, you may need to forward the port 21 on the router they are behind.
Glad I could help,
Ian

Static NAT causes unable to access server via internal IP

Hi all,
Need some help. I running site-to-site IPsec VPN in Cisco 2811 IOS 12.4 both site. Here I encounter a problem to access server on Site A from Site B
Site A having Leased Line connected to router with Public IP. I have done static mapping 1 web server to Public IP (NAT). This to allow external users to access the server via Public IP. At the same time, users at Site B would need to access to same server via Internal IP since they have Site-to-Site VPN established. But once I done Static Mapping (NAT), user at Site B unable to access the server at Site A using its internal IP. But external user can access server via Public IP. What went wrong here. Do i need to add extra command to get this done? We really need this.

Hi sheik,
I'm accessing the server form Site B using its server's LAN IP.
If I remove the static NAT statement from my router at Site A, everything works well. I can access the server from site B using its LAN IP via Site-to-Site VPN. But in this case, external users unable to access server via Public IP since no Static NAT statement.

Using Amazon S3 as linked storage with OSX Server 10.6.7

Hello everyone!
I will be getting a nice Mac Mini OSX Server tomorrow. I'm not new to networking and I've done over a month of reading the PDF's here that are related to the server and software. I think it's a great tool at a great price.
My question is:
1) Is there a way I can use the S3 Amazon Simple Storage Service as secured linked storage space or SMB to the OS X Server?
2) Is there a way that the OSX Server software can pass both the S3 Access Key and Secret Key to S3 to securely access directories on the S3 Amazon Cloud?
I would like to use S3 Amazon Simple Storage as a secured disk space solution that would be reliable a quick. Am I asking too much?
Thanks!
JT

Would it be a good idea to have another computer link to the Amazon S3 then have the OSX Server link through that computer to S3?
Or would I have to create a script / CGI to authenticate to Amazon S3 to access the directories.
My goal is to use Amazon S3 as copy and playback storage.Like a hard disk connected to the OSX Server via a firewire or an Ethernet connection. Does the sound too simple? It must be possible.

Trouble connecting to OSX server from XP domain members

Can someone help me out with a problem connecting to our OS X server from Windows XP? Basically, I only have trouble connecting from XP machines that are members of the domain.
Here are some details:
OS X Server 10.3.9, bound to domain through Active Directory.
Windows Services role = Domain Member.
Computer name (under Windows Services) = macserver
Connects fine from Macs via Network>Domain>macserver
macserver IP address: 192.168.1.5
Sharing 1 folder to all members of the domain.
I can connect fine from OS X computers and XP computers that are NOT members of the domain
I can connect from XP domain members via the IP address \\192.168.1.5
I cannot connect from XP domain members via Network Neighborhood>Domain>macserver, or by entering the computer name. Error message recieved: "The account is not authorized to log on from this location."
I can ping macserver from any xp machine and it resolves the IP address.
I can browse the webserver on OSX Server via http://macserver.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric

I can't remember how I resolved this. I think I had a number of problems, for instance, spaces in fileshare names. I might also have set up the domain incorrectly. Who knows.

Accessing an External HD via OSX Server

Hi
I've got a brand spanking mac mini running OSX Server 10.5 for a small (3 people) office
and I've attached an external HD to bump up the HD space but cannot figure out how to
remotely access it! Every time we connect we find the shared drives as usual but nothing else
and I've gone through all the help files and forum but to no avail!
So can I access this drive and if so how, also can I move the shared mounted folders to the external as we want to keep the MacMini HD clean and just target the external for all work/access
Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me mad (amongst other things!)
Thanks

You use Server Admin to create shares - define which directories on disk are shared and via which protocol(s).
In Server Admin, connect to your server then click the File Sharing icon in the toolbar. Now click the 'Browse' button and select a drive/directory to share. Use the options at the bottom of the pane to set the sharepoint rules.
The confusion is likely to be that File Sharing defaults to showing the list of currently defined sharepoints and it isn't obvious that you have to switch to Browse in order to see other directories to share (are you listening Apple Server UI team? )

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN. I have VPN set up and can access the Calendar and Contacts via a web browser, however I want to be able to access data files store on the hard drive and shared external drives connected to it. The MacPro runs OSX Server Lion. Any Ideas if this is even possible or how to do it!

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Maybe there is another solution - here is my situation:
I have internet and cable service through Telus. Telus' system consists of a modem/set-top-box that provides internet (ethernet and wifi) and TV signal (corded) for one TV and another set top box that provides internet (ethernet only) and TV signal (corded) for my other TV in the basement.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to the modem upstairs which I am using as my home network wifi. I also have an external hard drive (USB) connected to it on which my iTunes library is shared with all Apple machines in my home network.
My upstairs ATV, connected to my APE, works fine and streams internet (Netflix), iTunes Store and my shared iTunes drive just fine - the APE is 3 feet away with a great signal.
My downstairs ATV, also connected to my APE via wifi, does not stream so well, particularly the media from the shared drive. I suspect that this is the case because of signal degredation.
Any suggestions on how to reconstruct my home network to enable my downstairs ATV to work properly?

FTP access via Window browsers

I've been struggling with Windows users accessing our FTP site via their browser. Without including the username within the URL it's considered an anonymous login attempt. I don't like this method since it makes the usernames public domain. Can anything be done short of allowing anonymous access?
ftp://@ftp.domainname.com (anonymous login)
ftp://username:@ftp.domainname.com (works but reveals username)

Hi Steve,
Go to the FTP Server settings, you will find the anonymous login is checked. Please uncheck this option to avoid anonymous login.

Problem accessing mail via Safari browser

How do I access iCloud Mail via my Safari browser on my iPhone? If I go to iCloud.com it just offers me the option to install it on my phone.
The problem is, I already have it installed on my phone and it works fine EXCEPT at my new job - the wifi is not very good and I can access internet/Facebook etc but every time I try and load email it always says it 'cannot find the server .' I therefore tried to access email via safari browser - my other email provider works fine that waybut iCloud doesn't even give me the option to login, just keeps suggesting I install it.
Any ideas how I can check iCloud email at work? Can't do it on work computers, site is blocked....and there is no 3G/4G signal.
Thanks for any advice!

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2618 you should be able to access it via a browser by going to https://www.icloud.com/#mail

Bridge CS6 Mac cannot browse Mac OSX server 10.8

Hello:
We had a drobo file server which was mounted on the desktop and had no issues browseing the volume in bridge. After we moved to a new Mac OSX server running 10.8 we can no longer browse the mounted server. We get a primission violation. Using the finder we're able to browse files and folders and create new files without this same type of issue.
Is there a preference that allows connection to a network volume via Bridge?
I hope I was clear on the discritpion of the problem.
Thanks,
Rick

Try a reset of preferences for Bridge using option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.
There is also a plist file for Bridge in the user library preferences folder that can be manual deleted and will be refreshed after restarting Bridge.
And maybe run a check and repair permission with either Apple Disk utility or cocktail.
Unfortunately Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor official supported by Adobe when it comes networks.
