FTP File Sharing

Howdy. I do produce video and audio for people. I am doing a project now where the clients dont even live in the same town or state. I would like to have a Mac Mini set up in the future where i can put the file on the hard drive and then send a link in an email to the client and then have a link or instructions on there to tell them how to get to the file they are supposed to get. That way i can send multi gig files to them and they can down load them on their own time and i dont have to waste discs and postage mailing things over night. I would need something where they can not acess any of the other files for other clients on there only the ones for them. Does anybody know of such a software or how to do it. I am needing something similar to a Digidelivery server made by Digidesign. http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=38&langid=100& Thanks for the help.

Would anonymous FTP work for the situation?
Are you just trying to do a drop box? are you trying to make this available for internet visitors?

  • Server FTP File Sharing

    How do I activate the VPN, FTP, and File Sharing on my server? Also, is there a way to access my server from another machine without using my IP address without port forwarding and/or registering an internet host name? Also, I have another post on how to use VPN on server, found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026213#22026213
    Please answer to both of these posts, I really want to make this server thing work.

    Do you know how to connect to my server without knowing the IP of the host and without registering for a internet domain name or port forwarding?
    This is absolutely not possible.  To connect to a remote server, somebody somewhere has to enter the identity of the target server among the billions of net-connected devices. 
    Now can that information be loaded into a client device, and can an end-user avoid having to know about these and other details of networking?  Sure.  What's variously called "provisioning" is a common approach used here. 
    There are other approaches available which can be useful on different and often on smaller networks, such as what Apple calls Bonjour; variously known as multicast DNS services and service discovery.
    There are other potential solutions.
    Also, does anyone know how to specially protect a folder in File Sharing?
    Sure.  Usually with what's called a file mode or protection mask, or via access control lists. 
    Whether the protections are effective depends greatly on who you're protecting against, and how the files are being shared.
    My server at school only allows certain users to access certain folders, but when I connect to my server I have the same username so I don't need to enter any kind of log in.
    Why not ask the folks that run the server for information?  You are affiliated with a school, and the purpose of such institutions is to learn, after all.  Ask some questions of the folks that are running the configuration you're familiar with.
    If it's a typical educational configuration, there'll be a "directory" — Microsoft Active Directory is common, though there are others — containing information mapping your identity to what you're authorized to access or do, as well as a variety of other information such as your identity and your email address and which mail server you're using for accessing your mail. 
    Can you password protect the folder?
    Directly?  Not really.  Details here depend greatly on the operating system and file system involved, and on how the files are being served, and how the files will be accessed.   File-level encryption can be used, and web servers can protect folders, and various operating systems including OS X support what are called encrypted disk images.  Web content management systems can also provide access controls, too.
    Rather than continuing this blizzard of questions, please consider providing us with some background on the problem you're looking to solve here, and some of the general requirements.  There can be many potential solutions, and even more wrong solutions.  With some idea of what you're looking to do, we might be able to give you something more specific to look into.
    As for learning more about OS X and OS X Server and server networking — all of which can provide some background and can introduce a number of these general topic areas — see the OS X Server documentation, and — for yet more detailed information — see the 10.6 server documentation that's linked from there.  The older 10.6 OS X Server documentation was much more detailed.

  • FTP File Sharing protect documents

    I have three computers. FTP is working fine but it is too broad. I only want the public folder to be visible to each other computer. The other two computers are a G-4 and an iMac. Can I limit access or protect other files?

  • File Sharing Checkbox / FTP

    We are in process of setting up a new Mac Server where we want to use as an FTP server. All HELP and tutorials indicate that the first thing you do is go to Preferences > Sharing > and check the "File Sharing" selection where you can then indicate to share as an FTP. However, when we go to the Mac-Server > Preferences > Sharing, it does not list "File Sharing" as an option to check. Any ideas why File Sharing is not listed as a possible sharing item?

    It sounds like you're in the wrong place - you're using System Preferences, right?
    System Preferences -> Sharing is where the FTP server is controlled in Mac OS X client
    In Mac OS X Server it's configured and controlled via Server Admin (or Server Preferences if running in the 'easy' mode).

  • Is FTP server better than common file sharing

    what is better : ftp server or common file sharing on server
    i need to convince the management that ftp server is better than file sharing on server but i need some strong security points.

    I agree on DropBox.
    In DropBox, Favorite (Star) the files (documents, MP3...) when you are on-line.  They will be available when you are off-line. Test access to your files in Airplane mode before you leave home.
    To bring the document into an app (e.g., Pages), use 'Open In..'..  the MP3, you can just tap in DropBox. 
    There are solutions to get files back from different apps to DropBox, but honestly it is probably just easiest to email it to yourself (and then use your Mac to copy the final file back to DropBox for reference purposes).
    Have a good vacation.

  • Problem using File sharing  in a small office network

    I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
    My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
    From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
    On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
    The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
    To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
    All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
    Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
    I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
    Thank you

    Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
    What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
    The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
    If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.

  • How do I use VPN for file sharing?

    Hi folks, hope you can help.
    I need to find a method for file sharing between my company's two offices, which are not only in different countries but also use both PCs and Macs. I think setting up a VPN is the way forward.
    My file server is a Mac Mini running the standard client version of OS 10.5.4, with a static IP, 217.xxx.xxx.xxx. I need the PCs and Macs to access its resources. It is set up to share its files using FTP, AFP and SMB. It is running the application iVPN Server, which I understand is a GUI that makes the built-in OS X VPN Server function available to the client edition of OS X.
    I am currently overseas and can connect to the Mac Mini over VPN. The problem is that I cannot seem to access the Mac Mini's files - I don't know what to do having established the VPN connection. I was half-expecting it to show up in the Finder under Shared or something.
    The Mac Mini has a local IP of 10.0.1.20, but the VPN Server is issuing an IP to all clients in the range 192.168.2.200 and beyond. Is this where I'm going wrong?
    Should the Mac Mini VPN Server also connect to itself, using VPN, as a client?
    I'm really stuck, all help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks for prompt reply Topher..
    I am familiar with the Connect to Server window, but I am not sure which IP I should be using. Assuming no VPN connection for the moment, and assuming I'm on a remote network, I can connect to the User's documents folder on the Mac Mini already by typing afp://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents
    However, I need to ensure that SMB shares work (I know they work when I'm on the local network). So I type smb://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents but this fails to connect to the User's Documents folder.
    To make the SMB shares work I think I have to connect using VPN. So I connect to the Mac Mini via VPN, and my laptop is issued a VPN IP of 192.168.2.200. Of course my laptop also has an IP from my local network. Do I need to rearrange my network order in System Preferences?
    So I'm now connected via VPN. However to view the Mac Mini's files, surely it also needs to have an IP issued by the VPN Server? But the Mac Mini is the VPN server. So should I go into its System Preferences and set up a VPN connection to itself?
    Now back on the laptop and I want to browse User's Documents folder on the Mac Mini using SMB. I go Connect to Server, and I guess I would type smb://[username:password]@[Mac Mini's VPN IP]/Documents
    Am I on the right track? Thanks again...

  • File sharing network problem

    I have an Airport Extreme (G) base station with an Airport Express acting as a WDS extender. I have two client Macs - a 24" iMac (Intel Dual Core) and an iBook (G4). There are a variety of other clients as well - 2 wireless-G tivos, a Win XP laptop, a wireless ethernet bridge serving a slingbox.
    My problem is with the two Macs. Using Network browser, from the iMac, I can connect to the iBook just fine via AFP. However, when I try to connect to the iMac from the iBook, it tries to use FTP, then I get the error "unable to find alias." Both macs have AppleTalk enabled and both have File Sharing enabled.
    I suspect that the root of the problem may be from the fact that the iMac was set up by copying everything over from an older iMac FP (I've learned my lesson and will not use the Migration Assistant again!). But, I can't figure out how to correct this.
    Thanks!

    Hi franki, I'm glad those web sites were useful.
    Unfortunately I can't advise about your remaining problem because I don't have a suitable Windows computer to try things out on. Maybe somebody else here can.
    I'd suggest you give a few more details about exactly how far you get and at which point things get stuck.
    Also, if nobody on this board can help then you could try another one. There are several boards here related to networking, of which the Tiger Forums Getting Online & Networking one seems to be the most lively.

  • Not just another file sharing thread......

    Running a forum search gives me a plethora of file sharing threads. Most of these threads are a one answer type of question or a simple "Preferences>Sharing>File Sharing type of answer. I am no expert here, I learn something every time I visit, but I know the basics of file sharing after nearly 20 years of using macs. I have a network set up at my business and home that the computers share and am perfectly comfortable with the basics. I would really like a discussion about more creative options available to expand what I am currently using.
    We have four macbook pros here. Two are personal only and the other two are business/personal. The two business MBP's are the ones we use the most, they are the primary machines which go from work to home. Right now they share files but up until now have really been set up for their own workstations for 2 different jobs. Now, we are starting to blend a little bit more of our work and we have had the need to share more files with the 2 computers. It's gotten to a point where basic file sharing isn't enough. The problem I am having is that both computers aren't always within airport range of each other, and both computers aren't always on or awake. So, it's become annoying to have to make sure the machine with the files I need is awake and nearby. So, we have recently started using dropbox to share files that way. The only issue with that is that many of our files are sensitive in nature and security is a bit of a risk. So, I am encrypting volumes with PGP and sharing the encrypted volumes via dropbox. So far it's not been an issue with having the same files open at the same time on both computers to avoid conflicts, I think we'll be ok for awhile. But as this data collection grows, I think it will become impractical. The thing I really like about using dropbox is that both computers don't need to be running at the same time since the files are stored locally and the changes are synced online. Even if I am traveling with one computer, I will usually have an internet connection so the files will update on my partner's computer when I make changes. This is the ultimate in portability and syncing. But like I said, it may become impractical when we put 30-40 Gigs of data up and we can't so easily keep track of what's open on which computer.
    So, I would like to know what others do at work or home to share necessary files between multiple computers, other than typical OS X file sharing techniques. I know some applications have a checkout type of feature which might help for certain types of files, but I really want a simple universal setup that my partners and employees can learn without having to think about what type of file they are working with. I have quite a bit of server space I can use for storage of files online if it would help, but syncing would be an issue.
    Dropbox may just be the best option for me to share and sync from multiple locations. It makes sense! I just hope some users here have some other recommendations that might work!

    Allan Eckert wrote:
    As to the PGP questions, as long as you have a file from the DropBox attached and are doing updates they are being sent to the copy on the DropBox. The updates are not all held until you unmount it.
    Actually, I'm seeing otherwise. I just ran a test to be sure. I held a pgp disk open for about 5 minutes while copying files to and removing from it. I watched the dropbox folder and the upload activity the whole time and saw no activity or change. The moment I ejected the volume, network activity jumped up and the folder icon in my dropbox turned from synced to syncing in progress. It actually seems to work quite well. The problem I have with it is that if I need to use large files, it will take a long time to upload, because doesn't the whole encrypted volume need to be uploaded again for any minor changes? I haven't tested anything larger than about 20MB, so it's hard to tell.
    The drop copy application might actually be quite useful if I were running a file server. I would certainly need an easy to use interface for the actual sharing of the files. If I do go that route, I would prefer for the ability to be able to lock files. As Allan said, drop copy doesn't have that feature, unfortunately.
    So, there really isn't a well known solution for this type of application, huh? I may just have to reorganize my plan and stick to removable media for the shared data. If there is only one copy, it can't get mixed up. The only issue I have is when I'm not on premises, how do I share the data with the office? I suppose I will just have to have a better handle on what I need and make sure to have it with me and use dropbox or ftp to upload the files back and forth from office to user.
    I just did a test with a decent size PGP virtual disk (125MB) I added one small 3MB jpg file to it and it did an incremental update to sync the file very quickly. I don't know how it's able to do it, but it's doing it. I would have thought it would have to update the whole disk every time, but I guess not. Maybe PGP and dropbox is a better solution that I ever imagined it to be.

  • At a total loss on a file sharing issue

    I have been using file sharing for years and have never had a problem. Tonight that streak has come to an end and I feel stupid!
    I have built myself a PC for work. However, I want to be able to share files with my Mac on it. Here is my setup... On my Mac, I have a hard drive that I have made into 2 partitions. One partition is a FAT32 format, specifically so that I can share files with my PC. I have gone into file sharing and set it up so that drive will be shared with my PC. From my Mac, I can connect to the PC and the My Documents folder on it.
    However, when I get on the PC I can not see my Mac unless I connect using the ftp://ip address format. Even then I do not see the drive I am trying to share. I see my Documents folder on my Mac, which is not what I want to share.
    I have done searches on here as well as Google throughout the day and can not find anything that addresses this specific issue. Can anyone give me some things to look for? I am fried!
    Randy

    Never mind, as usually happens after making the post, I finally found a link to guide me with what I did wrong.

  • Personal file sharing: file copying broken from/to imported account?

    I have an iMac G5 with two user accounts A and B ; and a MacBook Pro with two user accounts A' (imported from A with the migration assistant) and C.
    Personal file sharing, FTP and SMB are enabled on both machines. The firewall is disabled. Permissions, as well as the Keychain have been repaired.
    When I am logged as A' on the MBP, and when I connect to the iMac with the username/password of A, I can't copy files from A' to A : I get the following error message [The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items]. However, a 0-byte file is created on A'. The same problem occurs from A to A'.
    This problem drives me crazy because :
    - I can read and delete any file in A' from A (and vice-versa). Only copy and modification doesn't work.
    - I can copy files from A to C, A' to B, C to A, B to A'.
    - FTP sharing between A and A' does work.
    Someone got the problem solved by re-creating his account and re-importing all his data, but I absolutely want to avoid that. I'm sure there can be a simpler solution...
    It appeared to me that the only reason why AFP copy doesn't work between A and A' is that A' was imported from A. It seems also that a common broken preference/setting is not the source of the problem, since sharing works from/to any other account (and well, re-creating the account couldn't solve the problem as it would re-set the broken settings).
    I would like to know which information is used to determine user privileges when copying from one machine to another...
    A strange thing I noticed is that both A and A' have the same generateduid (which is thus not "unique") - could it be the source of the problem?
    If you have two machines with one account imported from one machine to another, can you check whether Personal file sharing with this account works? I love understanding why stuff doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    Here are the results of a few more experiments... Something is definitely broken with those two user accounts, but I'd like to know why, and how it got broken
    I have replaced the names of the accounts/machines by more meaningful identifiers.
    From the MBP, trying to access Account_B on the iMac:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountB:*****@iMac/accountB test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwx------ 29 account_A' account_A' 942 Nov 8 22:28 Desktop
    drwx------ 14 account_A' account_A' 432 Sep 24 23:47 Documents
    (And I can copy whatever I want in test)
    Now trying to access Account_A:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountA:*****@iMac/accountA test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 23 501 501 738 Aug 26 00:03 Code
    drwx------ 13 501 501 398 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (I can't copy to test here)
    501 is the uid of account_A (on the iMac). (The uid of account_A' is 503).
    Same stuff through SMB:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t smbfs //accountA@iMac/accountA test
    Password:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Aug 26 01:03 Code
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (In this case, it works)

  • File sharing - can't see a Mac that's asleep

    Trying to setup file sharing between my Mac (PBook G4) and a team member's Mac. Problem: I can't access the other Mac through the Network or Go menu (using IP number) when the other Mac is asleep. I have to go over to the other machine, wake it (just moving the mouse is sufficient), then return to my Mac. Not convenient, especially when working from home.
    I tried assigning a fixed IP address to each machine hoping it was a problem with network identity (we have a strange network). No luck. Any thoughts?
    My Mac:
    PowerBook G4, 10.4.2
    Sharing settings: Personal File Sharing ON
    Firewall: Off (no real reason why -- just haven't turned it on yet)
    Other Mac:
    G4, 10.3.9
    Sharing: Personal File Sharing, Windows Sharing, FTP Access ON
    Firewall: ON (PFS and Windows checked to allow them through)
    PS - Eventually want to use SharePoints to establish OS9-like sharing rights.

    Putting the hard drive to sleep is an additional option in the energy saver system preference. Unlike display or system sleep, there is no time-to-sleep slider for this; it is an on or off checkbox at the bottom of the pane. When checked, the hard drive will spin down if it hasn't been accessed for a while, even if the system is awake. When the system next needs to access the drive, there is a delay while the drive spins up, but it does not otherwise have any effect on the system's sleep or wake state.
    If your software claims it can wake the Mac, it is referring to waking the system. If it doesn't do that, you should contact its maker for assistance with the appropriate settings, for upgrades that might be needed for Tiger, etc.

  • Personal file sharing via a cable modem and AEBS

    At home, my Internet access is provided by a Comcast cable modem. It used DHCP; however, the address I get assigned rarely changes. What I want to do is use my G5 and an external disk to back up files from my MBP while I travel.
    I have a new AirPort Extreme Base Station which I use as my router. Is there any documentation available to download that tells me how to set up the AirPort base station to allow me to mount my G5's disks on my laptop when I travel? I know I need to enable personal file sharing, but how do I get the router to allow me to access my G5's disks from my hotel? I also want to access the disk drive that's connected to my AEBS remotely.
    I can do this when I connect via my MBP to my AEBS wirelessly and it works great, but I don't know what to do on the AEBS to allow it to be done from anywhere.
    Any tips will be appreciated.

    Hmmm, don't have the "Extreme" AEBS here... Express or something, so it looks like this one...

    And the setup has no "continue" button... just the ADD, OK, and then Update buttons.

  • Personal File Sharing between Remote Networks

    Trying to connect my Mac (OS 10.4.9) in one state to a Mac in another state (OS 10.3.9). I am connected to the internet via Airport. Second Mac is connected to the internet via DSL modem. With file sharing turned on, on both computers, and firewalls turned off (System Preferences: Sharing: Firewall Off), neither computer can connect to either computer via Personal File Sharing (I went to Go: Connect to server... Then entered the correct IP address).
    Also, have not been able to use my computer as an FTP server (System Preferences: Sharing: FTP Access On) such that the second computer can connect via Cyberduck (FTP client software).
    I know little about all this, but in my research over the last two days I am unsure why my efforts have not worked (for either Personal File Sharing or FTP connections). the following two Support pages on Personal File Shariing have not worked for me:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107369
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106661
    iMac G5 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    What is a NAT router? Your suggestion to use a file
    storage service as an alternative sounds like it
    might be a good idea for me. It's just that the Apple
    Support articles made file sharing sound so simple
    (i.e. "This allows Macintosh computers in remote
    locations to share files with any type of Internet
    connection").
    This is like saying the Interstate highway system makes it easy to drive from one city to another. It's true, but you need to know something about driving first. Similarly, you need to know something about Internet traffic.
    To continue with the highway analogy, let's say your data is like a car. Actually, it's a packet with addressing information inside. The key addresses are source and destination IP addresses. When inside your town, or LAN, it's got local addresses. Maybe your computer is 10.1.1.2 and your printer is 10.1.1.3 and a car destined from your computer to your printer has a source of 10.1.1.2 and a destination of 10.1.1.3. This is like saying take a left at Main Street.
    But there are maybe millions of Main Streets. Where this all changes is where we go out to the Interstate, or global Internet. Your router is your gateway to this traffic. It has two interfaces, one side talks to your locality and it has a number like 10.1.1.1, and another side which talks to the global Internet and might have a number like 71.126.45.113. As your car goes through this router, it's source number changes to become that of the router (71.126.45.113). This is so it can find its way back, and others can follow. The local address has no meaning out here. When it (or rather another car) returns, the router swaps the addresses back and sends it to the local network. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
    Now, the problem you find is that you can reach the destination router, and what you want is to get to another machine in that locality, but there is no local destination. You get to the toll booth at the end of the Interstate, but the toll taker doesn't know where you want to go. This is where ports come in. Your car has a number which corresponds to a service. In this case, the port is 548 and the services is Apple Filing Protocol over TCP. The toll taker know this. "Oh yes, Mrs. Johnson on First Street handles afpovertcp. Take a left on Main Street." This is called port-forwarding. You set the router to send requests for port 548 to the machine you want shared.
    Another possibility would be to disable NAT. This has some drawbacks. If you have more than one machine, you may violate your contract with your ISP. You also open yourself up to certain attacks and need to be much more careful. There's another possibility called DMZ, but that's like disabling NAT for one machine.
    I hope this clarifies things. You need to use the addresses of the routers, and forward the ports you wish to use. There's one more consideration: unless you have static IP addresses, those are likely to change. You can use a service like www.dyndns.com to use a host/domain name to connect your machines. It's free and easy.

    Do you want to watch the live feed of your secutiry cameras or recorded footage?
    In either case, I don't think iCloud is your solution.
    For the first one, check with your security camera software, they usually have this option of broadcasting, so you'll know how to access it.
    For the later, you should use something like Dropbox (www.dropbox.com), since iCloud file sharing is, up to this date, app restricted.
    Hope it helps.
