FTP question

If I set up the ftp and use the "get files" to pull a website
into my DW, will it take it offline or just copy it to my machine?
I don't want to take it offline as the current site needs to
be up until it is updated.
Thanks!

It will just copy it to your machine.

    Subject: FTP question; very basic
    John Vitollo had this to say:
    Do you have a website and/or do you own your own domain name... such as
    http://forums.adobe.com/people/nancy7147.com? You'll need a website hosting
    company to serve your website to the world.
    Depends on your ISP. I'm a Comcast cable customer; they allow me to have
    a personal website. I could use that space to do it.
    In my case, I have a Flickr pro account. When it expires, I will
    probably move to Zenfolio, as I like their presentation much better. I
    can't use LR slideshows with Flickr or Zenfolio, but that's not a
    deslbreaker for me.

  • FTP question for newbie -- How to access external volume?

    I have set up an old Mac (running Tiger) as a server on my LAN; attached to this Mac are several Firewire disks. I want to use FTP (with retrospect Express) to automatically back up from another computer to these disks.
    I can successfuly mount these Firewire disks using AFP on the other computer. But when I use FTP, I seem only to access the user account I use to log in. How do I get FTP to go those Firewire disks to transfer the backup files?
    Please forgive me if this is a naive question... Thanks in advance for any advice!

    To configure the FTP server in Tiger requires creating and editing certain files using the terminal application. So if you have no prior UNIX or command line experience you may find this tricky and you would need to read the man file for ftpd.
    So I would suggest you try out PureFTP manager which is a front end application for an alternative FTP server.
    I have used this Application and found it quite straightforward to use.

  • File and FTP Question

    We have a situation where a bank places an EDI document on their FTP site and then we go and download the file and process it. We are SOA Suite customers and have been using the tools for over a year. My question is would it be recommended to tackle this problem with BPEL or ESB and the ftp adapter? The bank doesn't require any kind of acknowledgement, but I've never dealt with EDI docs before and thought B2B might do a better and more seemless job of processing the EDI doc. My other concern is that B2B is overkill for this scenario since it isn't transaction based meaning the bank will place their file a couple of times a day and not everytime there's a transaction. Hope this makes sense. Be happy to provide more info as I'm just getting started.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Ramesh,
    Thank you for the reply. My confusion is that I don't really have a trading partner to setup or specify communication. I simply need to poll an FTP site for an EDI document and process it, basically a one-sided effort. Is this possible with B2B? There is essentially no interaction with the bank and no acknowledement that needs to be sent.
    Thanks again.

  • FTPS question.

    Hi,
    If I use a FTPS connection to get a file in a server I need the FTPS only in the server that I use to get the file or I need in both servers the FTPS connection?
    Thanks for the help!

    HI,
    You need to configure the FTP server for this.
    For more have a look into SAP Note - 821267 Question No 19.

  • Extending a VO - FTP question

    I am looking at this userguide:
    http://oracle.anilpassi.com/extend-vo-in-oa-framwork.html
    Because I have a VO on our eBusiness system that needs to be extended.
    I am new to JDeveloper, so apologies for the very silly question.
    One of the steps on the doc says:
    you need to FTP all relevant the files from $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/../..However, using my FTP account, I can't see anything with $JAVA_TOP listed. Could that be because I don't have access?
    If I FTP onto our Oracle server, I see folders like:
    .dt
    .java
    .SPOT
    .ssh
    .topasrecrc
    arffs1
    audit
    bin
    cdromWe have other folders corresponding to instance names - e.g.
    TESTAnd if I look in there, I can only see:
    lost+found
    oracleIs this an access issue? I'm scared of asking our DBAs because they will throw things at me, like sarcasm and scorn, for asking such things!
    Any advice much appreciated
    Thanks

    Click on oracle. Here you will find Java top.
    Like
    /u01/oracle/ InstanceNameComn / java // check for your common_TOP
    Thanks

  • Ftp question when trying to connect CS4 manually

    HI!
    I'm trying to connect CS4 manually (don't have a connection key). After putting in my ftp details, the question comes up "on the FTP server, what folder contains your website?" It then says "Contribute needs to locate your site on the FTP server:     example:/users/myfolder/public-html/"
    It then tells me that if I don't know, to contact my web administrator. I've done that, and they don't know, and just refer me to the adobe webpage which supposedly will answer the question. It doesn't.
    This seems to be an easy one to answer, but I'm totally non-techie, and if my website administrator doesn't know the answer, then I'm stuck. Can anybody help? Thanks!!

    Thanks, I worked it out in the end; when I changed webhost, the old pw
    remained but I hadn't realized because it wasn't clear, and I'm not sure
    what I'm doing...

  • FTP question in Terminal

    I am new to the command line so I appologize if this is a silly question.
    I just wanted to know once you have logged onto an ftp server and navigated to the directory you want to "put" a file into, how to find out what your location on the local machine is. I assume that I start at my root which is why I can navigate to my desktop using "lcd Desktop". But how can I see what is on my desktop? I guess I am asking for a way to do a local ls command.
    Thanks!

    Are you saying "! ls"? Nothing happened when I tried that.
    Remote system type is UNIX.
    Using binary mode to transfer files.
    ftp> ! ls
    ftp>
    *edit
    Now it gives me this
    ftp> ! ls
    Applications Library Pictures SME
    Desktop Movies Pictures.sit Sites
    Documents Music Public Unnamed Site 1
    lol why does it work now and not before?

  • Terminal FTP questions

    I have successfully been able to connect to my server using terminal. So far I can change dir., create dir. and get files. The problem I am haviung is that I cannot put files to the server from anywhere on my computer, actually to better describe this is the error message I get:

    FYI: my password and username are accepted
    second question/s: when should I use binary and when should I use ascii? do i just use ascii for '.txt' files and the rest use binary?

    Hmmm. What kind of computer is your server? It looks like ftp is trying to upload the file using your local path on the remote server. There are two ways to get to the local directory. First, you could just change to that directory:
    <pre class="command">cd /Users/myUserName/Desktop</pre>
    to use your example. Second, you can use the lcd command once you're in the ftp program:
    second question/s: when should I use binary and when
    should I use ascii? do i just use ascii for '.txt'
    files and the rest use binary?
    <pre class="command">ftp> lcd /Users/myUserName/Desktop
    Local directory now /Users/myUserName/Desktop</pre>
    Secondly, you should navigate to the proper directory on the remote machine using the cd and ls ftp commands. For example, suppose the server is a Linux server, and your web page goes in a public_html folder. When you log in, you might be at the root level of your account:
    <pre class="command">ftp> ls
    drwxr-xr-x 2 usrname group 4096 Jun 3 08:00 public_html
    drwxr-xr-x 2 usrname group 4096 Mar 22 16:47 bin
    ftp> cd public_html
    250 CWD command successful</pre>
    Then you can just put the file on the server:
    <pre class="command">ftp> put sample1.php</pre>
    And not have to bother with figuring out the relative paths on both sides.

  • WRT350N FTP question

    I got the WRT350N router the other day, it's running like a champ!  So far i'm still learning on how to fully get the FTP portion of it working. 
    For testing purposes, I'm using a 20gb HDD split into two 10gb partitions.  I've set both partitions to be shared.  Partition 1 shows up as NTFS2 and partition 2 shows up as NTFS3.  I've set what i thought would have worked almost like active directory, the groups permissions.  There are the default groups "admin" & "guest";  I've added 2 groups, let's say "X" & "Y".  The way i want this to work is that group "X" would have access to only NTFS2 and group "Y" have access to NTFS3.  I have 2 seperate Users setup, again let's call them "X" & "Y".  So under group management I have user "X" & admin (by default) under group "X" and same scenario for group and user "Y".  I have a 3rd user "Z" that has access to boths Partitions/Groups.  I've given full R/W permissions to user "X" in group "X" and to partition 1 and so forth and so on to user/group "Y" for partition 2.
    Hopefully I've painted a good picture on how this is set.  Now to my problem.
    - When logged in as admin and "Z" i see and have access to both partitions. 
    - When logged in as "Y" not only do have access to partition 2, but I also have access to partition 1.
    - When logged in as "X" it gives me a "permission denied" error.
    Now my question is, why does have "Y" have access to both partitions, when it's not granted that permission and is "X" restricted from seeing any of the partitions?
     Please help.
    Thank you!

    This is not about your question, but was curious if you can access the FTP partion from the Internet as well as the local network? Also does the config restore feature work?

  • Simple FTP question

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.4.7 server here at work for our mail and web server. We want to open an FTP site for client uploads as well. I created a new user with a home directory and deleted all the default folders in the FTP users home directory.
    So right now I am able to log in and upload files to it no problem. The problem is I can't see any of the files I have uploaded or any files at all through the FTP program. I set up the FTP users home folder as a shared point with full read & write access for owner, group and other.
    Still no luck all I get is an empty window to upload files into. Never can see what I've uploaded or anything else in there.
    Any help is greatly appreciated and if you need any info about my setup please ask.
    Thanks in advance...

  • IWeb FTP question

    I need to publish my site into a certain folder of my web site, but I don't see an option on how to do that. It would be much easier to have iWeb publish to the folder rather than going through and saving to a folder, then uploading through an FTP client. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    You should be able to set the ftp path in iWeb just like you do in your ftp client so you can publish directly from iWeb to the server.

  • A General FTP Question  - Interesting One?

    Hi,
    We have a domain hosted through a hosting company and can access the ftp in two ways...
    ftp.mydomain.co.uk - user/pass
    ftp.hostingcompany - user/pass
    We have a OS X Server (email) in house and an iMac running PureFTP.
    I need to allow a 3rd party ftp access to dump regular info to us so I want the iMac to be our dedicated FTP server (hence Running PureFTP).
    We have a Fixed 881.137.215.123 IP address with our ISP.
    now in my stupidity I thought of point some A/C NAME records for ftp.mydomain.co.uk to our fixed IP address then forwarding the ports on the router to the iMac.
    But then I realised that ftp.mydomain.co.uk is already used for us to access our http hosting.
    So this is where my brain over the last few days has overloaded and gone blank.
    How would I make the iMac accessable to the oustide world.
    Ideally I'm thinking of using our 81.137.215.123 as the ftp.
    Maybe I'm wrong but could someone run me through this as my head is hurting and I think I'm now making a mountain out of a molehill.

    >How would I make the iMac accessable to the oustide world.
    Ideally I'm thinking of using our 81.137.215.123 as the ftp.
    You can do that. what's the problem?
    If your problem is because the name 'ftp.mydomain.co.uk' is already used, you can either change the IP address that ftp.mydomain.co.uk points to, or use a different name. For what difference it makes you can setup 'fred.mydomain.co.uk' to point to your IP address. There's nothing special about the name 'ftp' other than it makes it easy for users to remember.

  • Dreamweaver FTP questions

    Hello Everyone,
    I've been using Dreamweaver since version 3 (back in the Macromedia days) but I'm by no means a Dreamweaver Guru. I recently set up my first VPS and noticed a problem with the FTP section of DW. When I try to transfer a file using the "get" or "put" buttons DW tries to move the "entire" site, not just the selected files. BUT if I try to open a file from the "remote" server, DW only moves the individual file. Is there a setting I'm missing in DW or does anyone out there know why this is happening?
    I'm using DW CS5 on a Windows 7 computer.
    Thanks for all of your help,
    Todd

    Do you have it set to enable file check in/check out? This would be under the Advanced tab in Remote Info. Also do you have the "Automatically upload files to server on save" checked?
    I do not get the behavior you describe when I just have "Maintain synchronization information" checked and nothing else checked in that section.

  • Why were FTP questions moved?

    I don't think the threads about FTP being discontinued should have been moved to the FIOS section "for greater exposure." I have DSL, and the loss of FTP really has an impact on all of us. Sorry, but just my opinion.

    The threads were moved in order to keep the board more organized. We realize that not everyone has FiOS, but since the threads there had already expanded quite a bit and there were several in the General Services section, it made it confusing for new users joining the discussions.
