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.

FTP access via Time Capsule

Hi
looking for help in this. My TC has the address 192.168.1.1 (I guess this acts as the router). My ibook has the address 192.168.1.3 (set by DHCP). Using manual set up in the Airport Utility I go to Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings > Add FTP Access and put 192.168.1.3 as the private IP Address. However, when I try to access by FTP using Transmit I get "server closed connection" error message.
Any ideas ?

I don't have a Time Capsule to test, but if you go into the preferences panel called sharing, and turn on the feature called "remote login" this will enable ssh and sftp. Do that on the one Mac where you want to share out the Time Capsule disk. On Time Capsule, I assume you get a similar software GUI as with a regular Airport Extreme, right? If so, open up the Airport Utility on the Mac that is authorized to make changes to the Time Capsule device and go into the manual set up. Click on the "Advanced" icon (its looks like a gear symbol) in the AirPort utility's GUI, then click on the NAT tab. Click on "port mapping" and then click on the plus "+" symbol and, using the pull down menu, select "remote login - ssh". This should enable port 22 on your TC. You would log into the same account on your Mac as you do when you boot up, so use that account and password.
I hope this helps.

Yosmite, Filevault, and drive access via Windows or Linux

If i turn Filevault on, will I still be able to access my newly encrypted SSD from a booted windows partition on the same SSD or a Linux live boot distro?
Does FIlevaule encrypt the whole drive or just the mac partition?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Hello!
It's explained here: OS X: About FileVault 2 - Apple Support
The first time you log in after turning on FileVault, the initial encryption of your entire hard disk begins.
The drive will be cut off from external OS-es. If you could still open it form Windows or Linux, it wouldn't be much of a security feature.

Ftp access via Go Menu - severe crash

Hi
I have been using the built-in fpt client to access my site-hoast's ftp server i.e - Go Menu > Connect To Server > ftp://ftp.myisp.net etc. This works very well when using it at work with a high speed broadband access. However, at home I get an initial good access and then the server disconnects (with a server dissconnection warning) and if I 'Ignore' rather than 'Dissconnect' the Finder crashes. My issue is with the fact that this is a serious crash. Once I have force-quit the Finder and it has re-booted, it crashes again as soon as I try to access the Go menu to re-open my ftp server. Also, the Activity Monitor crashes at start up, which I have never seen before. This continues until I have re-booted the Mac. I have sent the crash report to Apple.
I have a few questions:
I wanted to know if anyone else out there has experianced this kind of thing?
Have you had ftp servers dissconnect on a regular basis?
If you Ignore the ser connection interuption instead of Disconnecting does your Finder Crash so badly that you can't use the Go emnu again until you have re-booted the machine?
Have you seen the Activity Monitor crash on start up - I never have before.
Other tan using anothre ft client have do you know of a way round this?
Is it possable to set up a 'passive' connection to maybe make things more stable?
Your thoughts would be very welcome.
Thanks for reading

FTP access via "Connect to Server. . ." function in Finder

How do I connect to a server using the "Connect to Server. . ." function in Mac OS X Finder?
Currently, in Finder, I click on "Go", "Connect to Server. . .", enter "ftp://[email protected]" and click on connect. I then enter my user name and password, but the application fails to connect. I've done it before, but am now having problems. Any thoughts?
Also, I do not want to install a third party ftp program. I know I don't need to install a third party application because I've successfully connected in the past, but have forgotten how to do so.

Are you aware that the Finder's ftp is Read Only, and that CyberDuck is Free?
Try turning off the Firewall on both to see if that's the problem.

From Firefox, can I open an FTP site in Windows Explorer?

Firefox presents a simple FTP view of files. Firefox does not support active FTP mode, or uploading. Thus, some other program must be used to navigate and work an FTP site.
Windows - Internet Explorer - provides a connection to open and view an FTP site via Windows Explorer.
Why can't Firefox do the same?

You can look at:
* FireFTP: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/684
* FileZilla: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

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

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.

Connecting Via Windows FTP Service

I recently moved several sites that used Contribute to a new
webserver (Windows 2003 running IIS 6). The server uses Windows FTP
Service.
To create a FTP account I created a Windows Account and then
a Virtual FTP directory with the same name as the windows user and
pointed that virtual directory at the root of the site I want to
update with contribute. I gave the Windows account full control on
the site root folder. I can FTP connect via Internet Explorer and
the command line.
When connecting via contribute I get an error saying
The directory you specified does not exist. Please make sure you
entered the directory name correctly. On some servers,
file/directory names are case sensitive"
Contribute seems to be trying to change directory to a folder
with the same name as the FTP virtual directory, rather than to the
folder that the virtual directory points at.
here's the error log from contribute

Hi!
I think the windows service is using a different systemaccount that your other application, and that account does not have rights to read the sbo-common database.
You can change the account used by your service on the service definition or in the SERVICES application of Windows.

So TC can not be accessed via FTP?

I am currently set up fine with a router, external hard drive for backups, etc.
My new need is to backup an offsite computer, and I want to do so via ftp (or sftp). I can buy a network based hard drive that supports FTP which are inexpensive. I was hoping to justify buying a TC to take over everything, but I can not find anywhere evidence that TC supports FTP access.
This is unfortunate. Unless I am wrong and someone can correct me, but due to this limitation I won't be buying one.

You're right, you can't use FTP directly to a Time Capsule. But sftp works for sure if it's mounted to the desktop of a computer on the LAN. But there's no ftp or ssh daemon running on the Time Capsule. Just AFP over TCP and, I believe, SMB.

I have recently migrated data from Windows PC to Macbook Pro 13in. On booting the macbook now the account with the migrated data an only be accessed via the Apple menu. Is this normal ?

I have recently migrated data from Windows PC to Macbook Pro 13in.running Yosemite. On booting the macbook now the account with the migrated data can only be accessed via the Apple menu. Is this normal ?

Open the Users folder on the internal drive, drag all of the other home folders to the desktop, and then move the files inside to the desired locations.

Accessing the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer

I run a no-icon desktop and have noticed in the RC that I can not seem to access the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer as has previously been the case. Thus making it, in my experience so far, impossible to empty the Recycle Bin without turning on Desktop Icons to do it, and then turning them off again when finished.
I have found a work-around that is quite simple to setup, add a Favourates Shortcut to Windows Explorer, but I wondering with there is a setting somewhere now that needs activating/deactivating to have Windows Explorer show the Recycle Bin as one the the items in the Navigation Panel under Computer?

When the Recycle Bin is visible on the Desktop, left-click and drag the icon image to the TaskBar near the Start button. If you have Aero, you'll see a message "Pin to Windows Explorer".
Then open Windows Explorer and you'll see the Recycle Bin on the DeskTop from the left column.
Now you can opt to not display the Desktop Icon. Contol Panel>Appearance and Personalization> Personalization and select >Change Desktop Icons>Uncheck Recycle Bin.
Work for you?
After doing the above, I then opened Windows Explorer, and used the organize tab. I then selected "the show all folders" option, selected ok. The Recycle Bin now appears in the left Navigation Pane and the Icon is not visble on the desktop. I believe it is because I pinned it to win explorer by dragging it to the taskbar that it appears there.

Windows FTP access into 2nd internal HD

How do you set FTP access into a secondary (internal) hard drive? I am able to set up a user account and can log in (from Windows WS-FPTpro) into that users account (on the main HD), but is it possible to allow them to get into the secondary internal HD?
I checked the "get info" and tried changing the "Group" to the user account, but I still can't get into the drive from my windows machine.
Is this possible with the built-in FTP server in Mac OS 10.3.9??
Thanks

Hmmm, I just FTPed into another Mac, this one I'm on is owned by bdaqua8, the one I was connecting to was/is owned by bdaqua4, at ftp login, I erased the bdaqua8, put in bdaqua4 as the name, and bdaqua4's password, it took me to bdaqua's Home Folder, but above the file list from the other computer, (not familiar with the SW your using, I'm using TransmitX, but the free Cyberduck is similar), anyway, above that list is a little menu to allow me to change the directory it's showing, backstepped Users, the parent of bdaqua4, backstepped all the way back to Macintosh HD, there was the Applications folders and everything else at root of the disk, I could see all files folders that bdaqua4 could on that machine... perhaps you're missing the path changing thing, or maybe enter / as an initial path when you login?
Leaving work now, but when I get home I'll try your SW to see what is happening.
