FTP: can't change directory to

When I try to connect to my FTP Server, any user has the message:
530 User xxxx: can't change directory to asdads/xxxx.
I have also this message in System Log:
Sep 13 10:58:24 hostname ftpd[7916]: FTP LOGIN FAILED (cannot chdir) for 01.user.isp.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), username
I want that my users will connect to their own Home folders.
Could anybody help me? I have no idea what could be wrong in my config.
Thanx

In Server Admin for the FTP Server, what are the Advanced Settings for the authenticated users? Do the authenticated users have access to their home directories enabled?
If that's not it and the setting should allow access to the home directories, what path is the cd command targeting? If you're authenticated, then / (root) is typically set up as your login directory on the ftp server.
If you're poking around at random directories, configuring and using ftp gets a bit more interesting. If access to share points is permitted, then there are symbolic links provided that allow you to cd over to the share points. But the paths can be (are) relative to and specific to how ftp server chooses to expose the local file system to the ftp client.
(On a side note, ftp can also run afoul of network firewall settings and such, and can expose user and password information when used from untrusted or open networks. sftp can be a better choice in both regards.)

Iweb Publishing via FTP -- can't change the site

I am updating a site built in iWeb, now using v. 3.0.4
It has always been hosted externally and I upload using the FTP in iWeb.
I made some updates today (principally to add a link to a Facebook page). I republished the entire thing (it's only two pages). iWeb said it published fine.
I visited the new site, and there were no changes. I have cleared the browser cache upward of 10 times with no result. I have also tested the FTP connection and it's working fine.
Any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

Actually, I figured it out ... I needed to change the directory/path information.

FTP adapter without change directory - is it possible?

Guys,
I have an FTP adapter question. We are trying to both
send and receive a file using FTP. To do this we use
the server, user ID, password (etc) and the directory
name. The directory is mandatory.
After connecting to the ftp server, XI always seems to
issuing a "cd <directory>" command, however this fails
because this target company doesn't want to give
anybody the option to do a "cd" command on their FTP
server, therefore the whole file transmission fails.
Is there any way for XI not to use a "cd"?
We could just place the file on our server and run a
Unix scripts to FTP it over, but it would be such a
backward solution.
Any ideas?
It would be a disappointment if SAP didn't think of
this.
Your help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot,
Viktor

Hi Viktor,
     What i could understand from your question is that in the FTP server you'll be writing a file in folder A and once the writing is done you need to get it moved to Folder B using a 'CD' OS command. But this OS command is not allowed in the FTP server.
    If that is the case then it will be better to write the file directly into the Folder B. But in the file adapter use the option 'Use Temporary File'. In that case until and unless the file is written fully the file will be having the name .tmp or so.
    The advantage will be the third party server could be polling the folder B for a file *.txt in that case it won't pick this .tmp file.
Cheers

How can I change the name of my home directory?

When I first set up my Macbook Pro a year ago, I put my first and last name. I didn't like this and later changed the login name to just my first name, but the "home" directory is still listed as my full name on the side panel in Finder windows. How can I change this, it won't let me rename that.

You should have experienced that same effect when you managed to change you login name. How did you change your login name?
I imagine that has something to do with why everything 'disappeared' when you changed the directory name.
It's actually pretty simple to change the login name, and it doesn't affect files at all.
All I did was change the field labeled "user name".

How can I change my "Home directory" folder name?

Hello, everyone.
I was given a pre-owned MacBook Pro that's running OS 10.6.8. How can I change the name on the Home directory folder? I was able to change the Administrator Account settings, but the Home directory still shows the previous owner's name. It bothers me a bit, though, to see the previous owner's name still come up on the Home folder.
I came across the instruction listed below, but I can't get past step 4. It instructs me "rename it just like I would rename any folder." I can't seem to rename it, though. The cursor doesn't come up when I click on the folder name.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I followed this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872
and got to the stage of having renamed my Home folder with the new name but the Home folder is STILL designated to the old name?
When I try and create a new user with the new name, I don't get asked if I'd like to use the existing name as Home folder, I get told I can't use the newname because it exists already - thats the end of it - no further options.
So to clarify - I now have oldname folder STILL assigned as Home folder. A newname folder with all my stuff in - apps, desktop, etc etc but this is just another user folder.
Interestingly at login stage, the oldname folder isn't an option. I think I've confused the system somewhere by titling things differently at some stage in an attempt to rename Home folder.
I'm running Mountain Lion (as of yesterday) and because I've kinda lost the use of my User folder as the Home folder, can't get to my Time Machine. I'm in trouble but I'm trying not to panic. Would appreciate any help!

FTP Adapter Unable to change directory 'inputDir'

Hi all. I'm trying to put the file into BPEL Process, transform and put it to the output directory like in tutorial 129.FTPAdapter FTPDebatching. But I've got this message:

Hi Varun,
Review of the ftp protocol specification
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/5_Declarative.html
shows that LIST command
LIST
125, 150
226, 250
425, 426, 451
450
500, 501, 502, 421, 530
does not have 550 code among the codes which are supposed to be returned by ftp server in response
to ls command. So, it looks like the ftp server running on AIX platofrm violates the ftp protocol specification.
As a result bpel ftp adapter returns an error and the process goes off-line.
Solution:
Apply patch 4508850.
If for any reason the official patch does not work, then apply the patch manually using the following steps:
1. Stop OC4J_BPEL
2. Create the following directories:
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound
3. Copy the following files
FileSource.class, PollWork.class, FTPSource.class
from the patch to
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\FileSource.class
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\PollWork.class
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound\FTPSource.class
4. Restart OC4J_BPEL

How can you change the banner of the FTP-server on the Linksys WRT610N ?

Dear readers,
My question is this : How can you change the banner of the FTP-server on the Linksys WRT610N ?
At present it says : "Welcome to WRT610 Router's FTP service" which gives away the type of the device.
Which is a clue I would rather hide. Besides that I would like to change it to something more personal.
But how do you do that ?
The UG is silent about this.
Regards
John

Try this to change FTP banner?
* Login as admin
* Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
* Expand FTP sites (from tree view)
* Right-click on the particular FTP site, select Properties
* Click on the Messages tab
* Setup new message
* Save the changes

I login in ftp server, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

I login in my ftp server by use of Mozila browser, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

Do you mean you browse the FTP server in a tab? That usually works for anonymous FTP downloading, but if your server requires a login, it might not work well because Firefox doesn't do anything special to keep the session alive.
Would you consider using an add-on such as FireFTP? It's a traditional FTP client that runs in a tab.

HI,
1.a. cost center name: can be changed every time (=daily), the relevant fields are set in SAP-standard OKEG to "daily".
1.b. Example: Start date is 01.01.2000, it is always possible to set it to a date before that date by creating the cost center for this new time interval.
If the new start date should be 01.01.2001:As long as their is no posting made to this costcenter, you can delete the time interval that is not needed (01.01.2000 - 31.12.2000) to achive the new start date for the costcenter.
2: I don't know the reason why its working fine for the first 5 cost elements and not for the second 5. Anyway, if the cost element does not contain a posting, change the cost element master record.
Best regards, Christian

HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

hi:
screen capture questions:
1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
thankyou

If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
And of course there are other apps...

How can I change the directory in which I install oracle-xe-universal?

I know I can install the rpm package by relocate the root, but it won't work.

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

Can I change the ftp password of fp2000?

a ftp server is already built-in the fp2000,
and the user name and password is 'none' by
default. So, how can I change the user name
and the password of the fp2000?

Steven,
If you go into FieldPoint Explorer, right click on a comm resource (assuming that it is ethernet) and choose Edit This Comm Resource and then click on the browse button, it launches a utilty called Remote System Explorer. In the Remote System Explorer window, you see the list of all ethernet FieldPoint devices. For any devices that support security (FP-1600 modules that have firmware 411 or later and all FP-20XX modules), you will be able to select the device, right click on choose Lock/Unlock Device. The password configured with this step also carries over into the FTP server, serving to restrict write permissions. However, because FTP is used for certain software abilities (determining firmware revision), read permissions are always enabled and can n
ot be disabled.
Regards,
Aaron

How can I change information on a website that I have linked to the my website I created?

I created a website using dreamweaver cs5.5 and now my boss wants me to make changes on a webpage I linked it to a different site (one that I didnt create its with yahoo). He wants me to make changes on the site that I linked. Example is on my "Store" page I have an "express store" all I did was copy and paste that link to the yahoo store page for our company store so when people click on the "express store" they automatically go to our store via yahoo. My boss wants the prices to be changed on the yahoo page...How can I do that? Do I have to make new files for the pages? By copying the source code from the pages into dreamweaver and make the changes there and just link to the "new" page. Example: My "express store" would go to the new page's I created. What's the easier way to make changes to a site I didn't create?

In DW, you would go to Site > New Site and create a new empty site with just your ftp username, password and directory. You would then open that site in DW and choose the Get button from the Files tab to download the site onto your computer. Then you can make any changes you like to any page and upload them.
There may be some oddities in Design View because it's likely that the site uses some proprietary code that DW itself won't render correctly. Preview In Browser to make sure the pages look the way you want before uploading.
