FTP Server login

I'm trying to connect to a ftp server. I use "Go - Connect to Server" and type in the address: ftp://name.
This is a secure server and normally requires a user name and password. I can't figure out where to enter the required information. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

Use this format in the box after Go To Server...
ftp://username:password@hostnameORipaddress
However, you may prefer to use a 3rd party utility.
I use Cyberduck it will take care of all your FTP needs. Provides a nice interface for transfering files via drag-and-drop too. Very nice.
Otherwise, perhaps u can try the command line in Terminal, if you are familiar with the FTP commands.

  • Ea4500 FTP server - connects but that's it..

    Have a security camera that will ftppics but when I enter ftpserver login it can't save.
    So, everything is on the same 192 network. My pc client connects to the ftpserver fine but will not get a directory list, save a txt file, or do anything other than connect. My account has read/write and I don't get it..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Also don't disconnect the usb drive while the router is on unless you use the Safely Remove Disk feature.
    Create the share using the router utility.

  • 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.

  • Unable to login to our FTP server

    I'm using Contribute 3 and for some reason I'm unable to access our website to do some editing. When I login to the FTP server for connection to our website, the message I receive is that the FTP username or password is incorrect. However, I updated some data in December last without any difficulty. I'm not very computer literate but am curious to know if a change in our IP address is creating this problem. It looks to me that our IP address has changed (not sure how!) I would much appreciate if anyone has any suggestions how I resolve this.
    Maria

    Contribute does remember the IP address. If your's has changed, you will need a new key.

  • Basically, I failed to login to an ftp server by typing the password wrong. Now I cannot connect to the website at all. What can I do to fix this?

    Pretty much what the question says, I managed to type the password wrong when trying to connect to an ftp server and now I cannot connect to the whole website.

  • Can't login to solaris 8 ftp server

    I can't login to my solaris 8 ftp server from another computer. When I type in the username (root) and my password (the password I use to login to my CDE), it tells me that the password is incorrect. I am a beginner at this, and any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    Hi,
    If you must log into the ftp server as root for some reason you have to first edit the ftpusers file. This file lists all the users who can not use ftp. The file is found here /etc/ftpusers. If you remove the entry root from this file it will allow root to log into the ftp server.
    Hope This Helps.

  • Removing from an FTP server

    Hey Guys,
    Say you have an image or file you want to remove from an FTP server, what method would you use in the FTPClient? the deleteFile(String arg)?
    Thanks,
    ArchBytes

    If you are using Apache Commons net API the answer is yes.
    Provided the login which you have used has respective permissions to do that.
    for more info please refer the API.

  • Having trouble setting up osx 10.5.8 as ftp server

    I would like to set up my macpro to act an ftp server,
    I have activated file sharing via ftp
    What I don;t understand are the accounts.
    My public folder has been listed as a shared folder, file sharing is on (green dot) and in the options bit I have enabled afp ftp and smb
    When I click on my public folder I am listed as read and write and there is another account called everyone listed as read only.
    If I create a new "share account" (to avoid the creation of home folders etc for this account) called "test" with password "test" I give this read and write access access.
    From the same mac (logged in as me) I launch a web bowser and enter ftp://mylogin:[email protected] (my internal ip address)-and I get full access to my mac via transmit (my client).
    If I try the same with ftp://test:[email protected] i get "user test may not use ftp
    I have port forwarded in my router from my external static ip ports 20 & 21 to my macpros internal ip address and I get permissions denied when an ecternal friend tries the test account
    I am very unsure of what else to do

    Sharing account users do not have access to ftp. I know it seems totally counter intuitive, but that's how it is.
    You can create a user account for your friend, and share whatever you want via ftp when they login using their login.
    Also, there are third party ftp options:
    http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd
    I have not tried the above, but it looks promising.

  • Can I set up an FTP server from a networked Time Capsule?

    I've been looking around and can't seem to find this specific question addressed anywhere, so I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this.
    I have a Time Capsule connected directly to my router. Other than its intended purpose, I would like to connect an external USB hard drive to it, and use that as an accessible FTP server for a select few.
    To my understanding, port forwarding the router and giving WAN access would allow any user to see the entirety of the Time Capsule - which I do not want. I only want to share this one drive and have it maintained by an FTP login/password. I would then share this drive on the internal network.
    Is this possible? Or will I have to run the FTP server off one of my workstations?
    Cheers.

    Not in usable and reliable way no.. many things are possible.. if you have the (various bad words for foolishness or courage)... but it is too hard as there is no hacked firmware out there for a TC. It is a device intended for TM backups of laptops by wireless. Anything else is restricted strictly to what Apple want you to use it for. You can buy a cheap NAS, single disk unit will almost inevitably have FTP in them.. over network FTP is ok but remember it is not secure so you want SFTP for internet access.. And be warned.. FTP itself will be blocked from WAN on the TC.
    There are severe FTP issues with the AE/TC.. the last couple of versions of the Gen1-5 firmware as well as the Gen 6.. See this thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22948061#22948061
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22927625#22927625
    The last post in this thread by.. SBeattie2
    I think will condemn you to replacement of the TC by a router that actually conforms to standards if you are trying to forward it to a workstation or NAS even.
    SFTP might work.. see this thread.

  • How to connect to an FTP server via Midnight Commander _User_Menu_?

    Hi everyone.
    There's a nifty command that works in MC and makes it connect to an FTP server and display its directories just as if they were local ones: cd ftp://USER_LOGIN@SERVER_NAME. The only thing it asks for is a password, obviously. That's exactly what i'm looking for, theoretically.
    I know it's not really a standard Bash command, because if invoked outside MC, it returns an error (directory not found).
    I got kind of tired of typing it in (or copypasting it) every time, so i thought why not make it automatic? A Bash alias or a shell script wouldn't work, because as i said, it's not really a bash command.
    But what surprised me was that it didn't work as an entry in MC's menu, too.
    Tried to go another way, discovered kftp, apparently it's completely not what i am looking for.
    And i didn't even understand what F9 > Left > FTP Link in MC did. It isn't automatic as well anyway, i have to type everything in manually.
    Can anyone advise how to automate FTP connection in MC, or even in Bash (so that MC just treats it like a regular directory)?
    Big thanks in advance.

    This is not the correct way. You are using bash command line. For this to work it must be:
    # mc cd ftp://ftp.0fees.net

    I don't know what do you mean by "invoke an entry of MC's menu",
    Is this:
    Left->FTP link or Right->FTP link ?
    kiruch wrote:And finally, if i type cd ftp://ftp.0fees.net manually into MC's command prompt, i get a red alert message that says Cannot chdir to "ftp://ftp.0fees.net". Input/output error (5)
    In the first post you said you were able to login with "cd ftp://USER_LOGIN@SERVER_NAME", so MC is working well.
    This error you showed is the same which I have when I type "cd ftp.0fees.net" in the MC command prompt (maybe you typed wrong...)
    Instead, when I try "cd ftp://ftp.0fees.net" the popup error is:  "ftpfs: Login incorrect for user anonymous"
    This is what I expected, because I don't have the username and password and I'm trying a anonymous login.
    Are you sure your typing is right? Please, check your typing and try again.

  • Trying to connect to a ftp server

    I am able to connect to Cerberus (5.0.0.5) using the web browser or using a CoreFTP client, but I can't connect programatically using org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient. 
    Below is my code (this is actually using the java ftpclient through Coldfusion) :
    ftpsClient = CreateObject("java","org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient").init();
    ftpsClient.connect(JavaCast("string","xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"),21);
    connected = ftpsClient.isConnected();
    login = ftpsClient.login(JavaCast("string","username"),JavaCast("string","password"));
    This is what I see in the ftp server log file:
    2011/12/13 13:47:54  [0]  Client connected to Cerberus FTP Server 5.0.0.5 on 'machine'
    2011/12/13 13:48:41  [1]  Incoming connection request on FTP interface 0 at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    2011/12/13 13:48:41  [1]  FTP connection request accepted from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    2011/12/13 13:48:45  [1]  USER svc.script
    2011/12/13 13:48:45  [1]  331 User svc.script, password please 
    At this point the Coldfusion/Java client returns "Truncated server reply".  I also tried not using the login, and instead sending the user command and pass command separately like this:
    userCmd = ftpsClient.sendCommand(JavaCast("string","USER" ),JavaCast("string","username" ));
    But as soon as I send the "USER" command I see the above in the log file and the same reply, "Truncated server reply".
    When I use the cfftp tag like this:
    <cfsetting requesttimeout="1000">
    <cfftp action="open" connection="ftptest" secure="false"
        server="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" port="21"
        username="username" password-"password" timeout="1000" stoponerror="true">
    I receive a "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect"
    Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks much.

    This has been resolved.
    There is a bug in the apache commons ftpclient that misinterprets /r in the welcome message.  The ftp server people made a change that fixes this.
    With cfftp, when I changed the server attribute on the cfftp open to the server name instead of the ip address, it started working.  To me this is a bug in ColdFusion, you should be able to use the ip address.
    The other thing I noticed is when you use getfile, you have to set the the failifexists attribute to "false".  If you don't, it fails every time and the file has a "0" size, whether the file actually does exist.  To me, another bug.

    Can anybody tell me how to overcome this error and make this code to run successfully.

    Seems to me to be a firewall issue. See if you can connect via a command line tool and do the transfer in passive mode. (Get from one server and put on the other). If that works, then duplicate what you did in Java. If it is a firewall issue, your command line usage will fail as well. My strong suspicion is that you do not want to use active mode.
