Ftp server recommendations?

i am using Transmit and have a number of "favorites" set up to easily access various ftp accounts. however, i would like to have software that has these favorites also set up in case i have some kind of problem with Transmit. ideally it would be great to easily transfer these favorites to the new program and ideally it would be free but neither of these are necessary.
anyone have any recommendations?
TIA

So you are looing for an alternative FTP client. My recommendation would be
Fetch

not free, but surely a trial period?

  • File transfer from a FTP server to another External FTP server

    Hi,
    I have one FTP server , I need to transfer a file from this FTP server to aother external FTP server. Could any one please help me how to write a batch file on FTP server so that my file is transfered to another FTP server by executing the Batch file. I don't want to use SAP server for this.

    CREATE CONTROLFILE
    Caution:
    Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
    All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
    You want to change the name of the database.
    You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
    Note:
    If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
    An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

  • Can a directory to be created if it does not exist on FTP server?

    Hello SOA experts,
    We are good with most common usage of all Adapters. But recently, I am facing a challenge when archive files on FTP server.
    Archive files need to be placed into different folders for each month. For instance, ./archive/201308 for files archived in August. Next month, a new directory ./archive/201309 should be created, ideally automatically.
    My question is, can I do through some configuration and properties setting to let SOA create a remote target directory when it does NOT exist?
    We maintained multiple archive folders for different typr of documents. It is really a hassle to create them manually. And if the target directory does not exist, it would throw errors.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    CGI

    Hi, After reading your post, I myself wanted to test this out. I thought that by configuring the following in the Adapter Wizard it would create the remote directory for me:
    <adapter-config name="FW" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="FW.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
      <connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter"/>
      <endpoint-interaction portType="Write_ptt" operation="Write">
        <interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec">
          <property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="C:\Archive"/>
          <property name="Append" value="false"/>
          <property name="FileNamingConvention" value="%SEQ%\test.txt"/>
          <property name="NumberMessages" value="1"/>
        </interaction-spec>
      </endpoint-interaction>
    </adapter-config>
    It failed on my BPEL instance however I could see that it was trying to create the file. When I created all destinations it was able to create it.
    This is my recommendation from what I understand you'd like to accomplish:
    Create the different Year&Month folders on your destination from Jan to Dec:
    201301
    201302
    201303
    201304
    201305
    201306
    201307
    201308
    201309
    201310
    201311
    201312
    (You can actually create as many as you want going to 2090 if you want...
    Add the below config to your JCA File:
    <adapter-config name="FW" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="FW.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
      <connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter"/>
      <endpoint-interaction portType="Write_ptt" operation="Write">
        <interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec">
          <property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="C:\Archive"/>
          <property name="Append" value="false"/>
          <property name="FileNamingConvention" value="%yyyy.MM%\filename"/>
          <property name="NumberMessages" value="1"/>
        </interaction-spec>
      </endpoint-interaction>
    </adapter-config>
    This will allow the files to be dynamically created in the correct directories.
    This is a work-around and I hope this works for you.

  • Setting up a local ftp server for wireless photo transfers

    I am a semi-professional photographer who recently purchased a wireless unit that connects to my camera to transfer my images to my Mac. I have turned on the ftp services under Sharing on my Powermac G5 and set up a user account for the camera to log into. All of the transfers will be on the local side of my router, no outside (Internet) connections.
    I can get an IP address for the camera, so I know the connection to the router is ok, however I can not log into the user account on the G5 when ftp is initiated. I keep getting a 'Not Connected to Server' error message.
    The connection software on the camera is rather basic. It is ftp only. Do I need to do anything else on my G5 or router to help this along? In the camera, I can specify the IP address of the local ftp server, the account username, and password. Do I need to use passive mode?
    Should I use another ftp server program other than the one built into Tiger? The camera company recommends a product called Rumpus, but it is very expensive for my use. Any other suggestions for server software?
    Also, is there a way in Tiger to see who is currently logged into user accounts?
    Lots of questions, but I am determined to get this to work for me.
    Thanks.
    Jeff W.

    Also, is there a way in Tiger to see who is currently logged into user accounts?
    In Terminal just type 'last'. More ways to tell...
    http://www.osxfaq.com/tips/unix-tricks/week95/friday.ws
    I wonder if ftp might not mean some other file transer protocol like SMB... don't know for sure, but most use FAT16/32, which would need SMB I think.
    Try from the Finder... CMD+k, then type in smb://, then the IP of the Camera... or maybe ftp:// plus the IP.
    Most ftp programs are more funtional than the built in one... Cyberduck is popular, though I use TransmitX

  • Help ReadyNAS NV+ as FTP server using Apple Time Capsule

    I am setting this up for somebody else. I followed http://www.readynas.com/?p=1682 to configure the ReadyNAS RND4000 NV+ and then followed http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Designing_AirPort_Networks_10.5-Windows.pdf starting on page 54 to limited success. At times I could log into the FTP server and it would Auth, but then timeout. Swapped it out with my Netgear WNR2000 and configured it and it works great. What am I missing on the Apple Time Capsule that only took me 5min to do on the WNR2000? Called Apple Care and they said they could not help since they do not provide phone support for FTP. I have spent nearly 6hrs on this and all I know is that I had it working within 5min using my WNR2000, but they really want to use their Time Capsule and I just can not get it to work.

    FTP is a lot trickier than it looks and unfortunately opening ports even in a fixed range as you are doing on the readynas, (following that post you referenced). Did you open 5000-5020 for FTP?
    As an odd co-incidence.. the apple utility uses port 5009 to access the TC.. when you forwarded ports in the area of the Apple Utility you may well have wreaked something. Try using different port range above 10,000.
    I can understand why the Apple people would not talk to you.. they have deliberately left out ftp as a method of access to the TC.. but I have a suspicion that something else even inside it might be running ftp.. in which case when you port forward you might be messing up the internals. Or the internals are messing with you. To say nothing of the access to the internal server which could be blocked from remote access.. even if you forward the port. Apple phone support workers will have no idea about this stuff.
    My recommendation for a windows network.. use a router that has normal http access. Keep the TC in the network bridged. You can get Netgear router cheap.
    My other comment is, ftp has no security other than password.. it is open to man in middle attacks because passwords are sent in the clear. It is not really a great method of remote access unless you have a walled off ftp store that you don't care if others access. If you want to buy another router, get something that does vpn and use vpn to access the network.
    BTW Apple do break things like vpn, ftp, telnet in some versions of their firmware.. this is a well known issue and happens across all the apple routers.. since Apple does not use those ports themselves they don't seem to give any great deal of attention to bug catching.. if you run apple network with apple products you won't need it.
    eg
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1435270?start=0&tstart=0
    Do a google search for time capsule or airport (fundamentally the same thing).
    I stick to my recommendation.. keep the TC as a bridged device... just buy another router.

  • FTP server: PORT command not supported??

    Hi,
    In a nutshell - we are trying to set up PASV -- PORT connection between a Tiger server (10.4.11) and another system (say it's a windows FTP server). Issuing a PORT command to a Tiger FTP server fails with this error:
    -> PORT 192,168,11,3,199,158
    <- 500 Invalid PORT command
    I have done some research on the web and as far as I can see - this is just a feature that is disabled in Mac OS X ftp server.
    What's strange is that "features" command states that PORT is supported.
    Has anyone seen PORT command work for a Tiger Server ftp daemon?
    Has anyone succeeded enabling this command on a Tiger server?
    Can you recommend another FTP server that works well on a Tiger server?
    Thanks a million,
    Darius

    Passive (PASV) and Port (PORT) mechanisms are orthagonal.
    If you're working with PORT, then you're almost certainly trying to clear through one or more firewalls. And a firewall can also trigger the Illegal Port Command error for a PORT command.
    (Though I don't see a PORT command in the Mac OS X ftp client. I've checked a couple of clients, and it isn't common to expose it.)
    ftp is a mess. Insecure, difficult to configure, insecure, firewall unfriendly, insecure, and slow. And did I mention insecure?
    (No, I'm not a big fan of ftp.)
    Some reading material:
    http://www.cert.org/techtips/ftp_portattacks.html
    http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
    http://cr.yp.to/ftp/security.html
    As for a suggestion, chuck ftp and switch to sftp.

  • Gedit can't save to mounted ftp server

    I mounted an ftp server with curlftpfs, as the wiki recommends this method:
    sudo curlftpfs ftp://some.server.com /media/ftp.some.server.com/ -o user=user:pass,allow_other,ftp_port=-
    I had some trouble to get it to work because it turns out I have to use active mode (I expanded the wiki), but now it works great, and I can cp, mv, rm and edit files as if they were on my local machine.
    Except in gedit, which refuses to save files to the mounted ftp. At first it segfaulted, just printing 'Segmentation fault' to the terminal, but this crashing stopped after disabling all plugins. But instead of crashing I now get "Could not save the file $FILE. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again."
    Same thing when starting gedit as root, odd. So I checked what the permissions were:
    ls -l /media/ftp.some.server.com/file.asp
    ---------- 1 root root 811 17 jan 21:48 /media/ftp.some.server.com/file.asp
    I guess this is because the FTP server runs some flavor of windows and doesn't have unix file permissions. After googling unsuccesfully I wanted to start a topic in the networking subforum, but first I tried to change the file using nano, to be sure it wasn't a gedit issue. To my suprise nano can indeed save the file, so I'm putting this in applications and desktop environments.
    I think nano is checking the permissions before trying to save the file, while gedit doesn't. Does any of you got an idea to stop it doing this, or to fix the permissions?
    Last edited by berz_ (2012-01-17 22:33:02)

    With some help from the nice guys in #gedit, I managed to narrow the problem down to gio, a component of glib used by gedit to save files.
    I did file a bug on the gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668147.

  • Trying to set up FTP server

    I am trying to set up an FTP server using my macbook. I have followed the steps on http://www.macinstruct.com/node/152 but where I am running into trouble is that I have to assign a static ip to my computer. My home network is as follows: ISP -> D-Link DI-604UP router -> Airport Express (bridge mode) -> Macbook. Do I need to set up the Airport Express with a static ip as well, or can it remain dynamic and simply set my macbook to static. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    Do I need to set up the Airport Express with a static ip as well, or can it remain dynamic and simply set my macbook to static
    Since your AirPort is running in Bridge mode (which it should be in this setup) then the AirPort IP address doesn't matter. Only the Mac server needs a static IP address.
    Even so, consider the implications of using FTP - it's an insecure protocol and you run the risk of exposing your system to unwanted attention from hackers, bots and scripts that will try to exploit weak FTP services. Before you go much further I'd recommend evaluating what you're trying to achieve, and whether there's a better (i.e. non-FTP) way of doing it.

  • IPS 6.0 Supported FTP Server??

    Hi,is it true that we can only use supported ftp servers that are documented in cisco for updating ips signatures or image?
    ###cisco ips 6.x document ####
    The following FTP servers are supported for IPS software updates:
    • WU-FTPD 2.6.2 (Linux)
    • Solaris 2.8
    • Sambar 6.0 (Windows 2000)
    • Serv-U 5.0 (Windows 2000)
    • MS IIS 5.0 (Windows 2000)
    can we use ordinary ftp servers other than ftp servers listed above?? thanks

    When originally implemented the ftp auto update feature had several problems when using other ftp servers.
    The implementation has changed over the past few years, and become more generalized.
    So the listed FTP Servers are the ones "officially" tested and supported.
    However, it should work with most other FTP servers as well.
    I would recommend trying it with whatever FTP server you already have running. If it works then great; you are probably fine to keep using it.
    If it doesn't work with your FTP server, then you can contact the TAC. If it turns out to be an incompatability between the sensor and your FTP server, then the issue would have to be entered as an enhancement request to get your FTP server supported rather than an actual bug.
    We used to hear alot of incompatability problems with other FTP servers a few years ago.
    But I haven't heard of any in the past 2 years.
    If it is not working, then it is usually not a problem with the actual FTP server, but rather in how it was configured.
    Here are a few examples of issues that are sometimes seen, and can be avoided with configuration of the FTP server.
    Additional login messages can sometimes confuse the sensor (like warnings about who can access the box).
    The FTP server has to be configured to use unix style directory listings instead of windows style.
    Permissions on the files themselves can be a problem.
    Renaming of the files after being pulled from cisco.com can cause problems, so keep the filenames exactly as seen on the cisco.com pages.
    Keep directory names to letters and numbers to avoid parsing problems with the directory name.

  • Unity Express Backup: Can we use DNS name of FTP server instead of IP address?

    Gentlemen!
    In the Unity Express system, can we use DNS name of FTP server (Microsoft FTP Server) instead of IP address in the General configuartion for Backup Server?

    Backing Up and Restoring Data
    Last Updated: May 12, 2010
    Cisco Unity Express backup and restore functions use an FTP server to store and retrieve data. The backup function copies the files from the Cisco Unity Express application to the FTP server and the restore function copies the files from the FTP server to the Cisco Unity Express application. The FTP server can reside anywhere in the network if the backup and restore functions can access it with an IP address or hostname.
    We recommend that backups be done regularly to preserve voice-mail messages and configuration data.
    Backup and restore commands are available in configuration mode and in offline mode.
    •In configuration mode, commands are available to set the following parameters:
    –Number of backup files to keep (the oldest file is deleted).
    –URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.
    •In offline mode, perform the backup or restore procedure. Decide the following:
    –Type of files to be backed up: all files (configuration and data), only configuration files, or only data files. Data files consist of voice-mail messages. Configuration files consist of all other system and application parameters.
    –URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.

  • How can i do scheduled automatic backups to an ftp server in ios xr?

    Hello guys! As the title says im looking forward to automatically back up my running config on a cisco CRS-1 to an FTP server. I was only able to find this config example:
    Configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://A.B.C.D/myconfig.txt
    This allows me to save my config to an ftp server everytime i use commit on the device. Now i want to know if there's a way to automatically save my configs everyday at 00:00  and also include the date and time in the name of the file so i don't overwrite the existing files in the ftp server.
    I dont want to use any tool i just wanna know if what im asking is possible via CLI commands. I would greatly appreciate your help with this subject.
    Regards,
    David

    Not sure if this script will work on a CRS, but try this:
    archive
    log config
    logging enable
    hidekeys
    path tftp:///$h-
    write-memory
    time-period 10080
    Explaination: 
    There are two ways to save your config to your remote station:
    1.  When someone saves the config; and
    2.  At an alloted time period, expressed in 10080 (weekly for me).
