FTP Functionality in Finder causes Hang

On my brand new (and software updated) Leopard build, visiting two FTP locations in a row causes Finder to hang and become unresponsive. The only option is to go to Force Quit and click 'Relaunch'.
To recreate this bug, I clicked on two SRTM data file FTP links from within Google Earth. The first loads and begins downloading. Clicking on the second link hangs Finder.
I think these are just the same as hyperlinks in any other program, but to recreate exactly, the Google Earth overlay I was using is one for Shuttle Topography data, and is at http://www.ambiotek.com/srtm - clicking on the green triangles shows you a number of ftp and http links to choose to download. Clicking on two of these in a row causes Finder to hang.
Does anyone know how bugs like this should be filed properly?

I made some comments in another thread about providing feedback and filing bugs with Apple; maybe that will help you:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7459400#7459400
I've found that joining ADC and filing bugs through that forum is the best way to get attention. I've had many email exchanges with Apple engineers because of bugs filed in this way...

Finder crashes with OS 10.6.8. With or without any apps running finder will hang repeatedly causing the iMac to hang also. I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 recently and finder was OK for 1 week. How do I submit a crash log?

Folllowing an upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Finder frequently hangs, causing any open apps and the iMac to hang. This will occur whether or not any 3rd party apps or Safari are open. About 50% of the time trying to empty the trash will cause a finder hang. There are no error messages to let me know what code such a hang may be. Repeated attempts to force quit the iMac always fail, so I have to hard crash using the power button. Multiple attempts are required to successfully restart via the login screen. I do not know whether any other apps, such as Safari or screen saver may be involved. I think a crash log would help, however I am not sure whether I should look in: useres/library/logs/DaiagnosticReports or : users/library/logs/CrashReporter, and whether I should attempt to open the latest in either in Console or Text edit and then post here. Also, is this the appropriate site to post a log in the hope that Apple may look at it? I have read through threads on Apple finder, and am stunned to find that after all these OS-X versions finder is still buggy and inferior to MS Explorer and Apple appears to be in denial. Maybe their efforts are in devices such as iPhones and iPads? Ths issue never occured in OS 10.5.8.

External Firewire HDD causes hangs on my Mac Pro & HDD lag using finder

External Firewire HDD causes hangs on my Mac Pro & HDD lag using finder.
I have an 2008 Mac Pro 8 core 2.66hz, 10GB Mem, ATI HD4870 with 4 internal 1 TB Drives. I have 3 external HDDs (2 USB + 1 FW400). The 2 USB HDDs are for Time Machine and backups.
The external FW HD is a 1TB bootable clone of my Internal 1 TB boot HDD.
I have 2 problems ... somethimes when using finder or opening a folder, copying files, starting or quiting a program, I get the spinning beach ball that seems to hang the Mac.
I power off the external FW HDD and everything starts to work. I get an error about the device going offline, I then power the FW HDD back on and all is good.
It seems the external FW Drive tends to hang the system. It occurs pretty frequently.
Any recommendations?
The other issue is that when I use finder to go to a folder, I seem to have to wait for all these drive to spin up. You can hear them all start whirring.
is there a way to remove that lag?

If you recently moved to Snow Leopard you might look for new firmware for your external drive. I would also get DiskWarrior and run that on the external and consider programs like Drive Genius. You might also back it up and wipe it and restore the data. After that I'd consider looking at a new external.
Sleeping drives that take time to spin up after waking....I'd like to learn how to stop that myself. Be sure the Energy Saver in System Preferences is set to not put drives to sleep when possible. Even then my drives will go to sleep and I have up to 6 external added at times and they take quite a while to all spin up. I've never found a way to prevent that.
BTW...external USB drives on a MacPro? Really? Even for backup....

Mail Will Not Quit and causes finder to hang.

Yesterday my mail app started to give me the spinning wheel while receiving new mail and will not quit no matter how I try to force quit. This includes forcing a quit through the activity monitor, force quitting through the finder and right clicking > force quit. It has since continued and now in its wake other apps have started to randomly hang as well. Even Thunderbird has done the same thing a couple times. Up to this point I have never had any issues with Mail.
I removed any third party add-ons from the bundles folder and no improvement.
I copied the mail folder to the desktop from user/library/ (Which causes the finder to hang but appears on the desktop once I relaunch the finder. This also happened when I copied the mail preference file to the desktop as well)
What the **** is going on here? Should I be worried about worms at this point? Could one corrupt file affect the system this drastically if it is indeed a corrupted file i received?
Anyone have an idea what might be happening here? I really am trying to avoid reinstalling system software here as I have no idea if re-importing my mail folders will yield the same problem.

The new info is really important, and I am glad you reported it. It sounds very much like something corrupted preferences for Mail, but interesting if only one account was lost.
With what you call you secondary account, have there ever been any changes made by the provider, such as a change in server names that you made as an update to account set up info? When that happens the account folder does not get renamed, and when preferences are lost, and you set up as though new, the old account folder is no longer recognized.
Were you using any applications that could have temporarily used nearly all available disk space in some session of work?
I think you need to purge the preferences file for Mail, but we need to know what may be needed to reconnect to both account folders.
Quit Mail, and in the Finder make a Duplicate of the Mail folder that you found in the Home folder, and drag the copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and either delete it or drag it out to be on the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail, and set up your accounts again, and decline to import anything even though prompted, and Mail should if all else is well rediscover both account folders.
Please keep us posted.

Does previewing mpeg-2 files cause the Finder to hang in Leopard?

In Tiger, previewing an mpeg-2 file in column view in the Finder causes a spinning beach ball for ages. Has this been fixed in Leopard?

This is probably your Norton software doing its best to ruin your mac.
I would start by trying to uninstall the Norton/symantec stuff. Then take any of the norton installer discs you have and burn them. I would also bury the ashes.
Maybe a safe boot would work to try to start up so you can uninstall the norton.
Barring that you may just have to start from scratch and reinstall everything (except the norton stuff).
Then never never never buy anything from symantec again.
Hope this helps.

Why can't i use the ftp functions with a built file

I have created a report program that connects to an MS Access database and generates a series of reports from it. i also wanted to give the user the ability to download the database. we haev the database stored on a server at a different building. i have used the labview FTP function in the internet tool kit. the program works fine in the development mode. however if i build an application the ftp call fails to work. i have added traps so that if i get an error i will know it. unfortunatly the program flows through with no errors but the database is not copied.
i have also written an ftp function which works in the development mode and the application mode with no installer, but it does not work in the apli
cation mode with an installer.

Well once again I find myself on a machine that will not let be take a look.
I am glad to here that you have your app running.
I am troubled by by the solution. It makes me nervous when functions behave differently in the two environments. Have you run this past NI support?
I'll email myself this link as a reminder for monday.
Thank you for the update.

FTP Functions in Background

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to run FTP Functions in background
like FTP_CONNECT, FTP_R3_TO_SERVER.

Hi Sekhar,
Yes, it is possible to schedule FTP function module in background.
To make sure, use SAPFTPA instead SAPFTP in RFC destination. Because SAPFTP run on client, and SAPFTPA run on application server.
Hope you find it useful
Regards
Indu.

Need help adding FTP functionality

Is there a built in class for FTP functionality with the jdk 1.5
I am sure there are thousands of threads on this subject but when I searched for related threads the first ten pages were all about ftp errors.
we are manually FTPing files from several remote servers to one main server, then using java to further act on these files.
I know there is a way to program java to FTP the files automatically.
Does anyone know a link to a good related thread?
Does anyone know where to find some free code to do this. I can't pay the $ for the commercial packages out there. I would like to code my own client but do not know where to begin.
Anybody?

Here's a little demo I have lying around:
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*;
* Download Jakarta's net-jar:
* http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-net.cgi
public class FTPDemo {
 private boolean isConnected = false;
 private FTPClient client;
 public FTPDemo() {
 connect();
 listFiles();
 disconnect();
 private void connect() {
 String server = "ftp.yoursite.org";
 String username = "yourlogin";
 String password = "yourpassword";
 client = new FTPClient();
 try {
 client.connect(server);
 client.login(username, password);
 isConnected = true;
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 isConnected = false;
 private void disconnect() {
 if(isConnected) {
 try {
 client.disconnect();
 } catch(Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 isConnected = false;
 private void listFiles() {
 if(!isConnected) return;
 try {
 String[] files = client.listNames();
 for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
 System.out.println(files);
isConnected = true;
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
isConnected = false;
public static void main(String[] args) {

Sending XML file from SAP to Windows Based file server with FTP function

Hi Gurus,
We are using SAP BW 3.0B version.
I need to convert data in ODS to XML format and send this XML file to remote server which is not a SAP application server, it is just a Window Based file server with FTP function..
By writing some ABAP code I have converted ODS data into XML format (which gets saved in my local system)
(Is that I need to put this file in Application Server to send it to the other servers? )
Now the thing is how I can send this file to that Windows Based file server.
plz suggest me.... what can be done......
Thanks in Advance

I dont think the above code support windows OS. Because I always execute this script via UNIX.
I think you can try this option, go to command prompt, goto the destination path where you have an XML file using cd....
ftp (destination servername), specify the username and password.
afterthat, use the command put and filename.
check whether the file had reached destination successfully or not.
For automation purpose, you can use the following script like
ftp: -s: test.txt (servername)
In test.txt,
UserName
Password
bin
cd /files
put file.xml
bye
Also, you can check in SM69, there will be some SAP external commands to automate the file transfer.
Thanks

Function to find quantity of a material in Open sales Order in 4.5

hi ,
is there any function to find the total quantity of a material in open sales order for an input date in 4.5
Regards

I think you may find function RV_BILLING_PRINT_VIEW helpful. This is the function used by the standard SAP report RVADIN01 to assemble all the information needed to print a Sales Order. The structure and table output by this function contain all the information in the header and line items of the Sales Order.
To watch this function in action, set a break point on this function (line 1075 of RVADIN01 in my system) and print a Sales Order (SO).
I use VF31 to print an arbitrary SO during testing.
Your company may have altered the standard print configuration for sales orders in SAP. If so, you will need to note the output type of your test Sales Order in VF31 and use Transaction V/83 to determine which program is being used to print that type of SO.

Write two functions to find the the number of elements in a linked list?

I am trying to Write two functions to find the the number of elements in a linked list. One method using recursion and One method using a loop...
//The linked List class is Represented here.
public class lp {
public int first;
public lp rest;
public lp(int first1, lp rest1)
first = first1;
rest = rest1;
The program i wrote so far is
import java.util.*;
import linklist.lp;
public class listCount{
//loop function
public static void show_list(lp list)
int counter = 0;
while(list != null)
list = list.rest;
counter++;
System.out.println ("length computed with a loop:" + counter);
//recursive function
public static int recursive_count(lp list)
if (list.first == null)
return 0;
else
return recursive_count(list.rest) + 1;
//main method
public static void main (String args[])
lp list1 = new lp(1, new lp(2, new lp(3, null)));
show_list(list1);
System.out.println("length computed with a recursion:" +
recursive_count(list1));
at the if (list.first == null) line i get the error " incomparable types:
int and <nulltype>" I know this is a beginners error but please
help...What should I do?

byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, and boolean are primitives, not objects. They have no members, you cannot call methods on them, and they cannot be set to or compared with null.

Finder causes After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 to crash

Basically when attempting to import files into either After Effects or Premiere Pro the Finder causes them to crash. I'm not sure
if it's the Movies folder specifically thats causing it, but I'm unable to find out for sure because the Movies folder is the default
folder that comes up when I try to import. Any ideas here? I'm stumped.
