FTP sharing Disables by itself

I am having a continuous problem with FTP sharing disabling itself from the Advanced settings in the Sharing options on OS 10.5.4
No matter what I do even locking the settings so they cannot be changed does not prevent this from happening and I cannot discern waht may be causing it. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? The same also happens with the restart after power failure feature in the Engergy Settings. The computer never restarts! Very odd and I cannot imagine they are interconnected...

I have and this time Airport turned itself off. I continue to have the same problem, the settings do not hold.

How to set SMB and FTP sharing for different users?

In Tiger FTP and SMB sharing was different options with their own settings each other. In Leopard there if i enable user for sharing, it enables for all protocols together.
Another problem. In file sharing i can add shared folder, but what's sens of it, if the whole filesystem is shared (at least FTP and AFP, not SMB, thanks god) and there's no way to remove this share. Just shortcut? How can i create ftp sharing, allowing user to see only his folder, not the whole filesystem?
Any advices are pleased, except to get Leopard Server Thank you.

OS X Client FTP implementation is not comprehensive at all. Apple does not make FTP serving a priority for OS X (on the general principle that it is not really necessary for most consumers). Thus, by default you can't enable/disable FTP for individual users. Nor can you create FTP only users.
However, a useful product called [Pure-FTPd|http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd], provides the missing functionality for free to all UNIX based systems. Even better, [PureFTPd Manager|http://jeanmatthieu.free.fr/pureftpd> provides a GUI on OS X for managing it.
This product is probably overkill for a single-user situation - but it is a great example of leveraging the UNIX platform of OS X to significantly enhance file sharing capabilities to server level.
Cheers,
Rodney

Java - Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm ?

Hi,
My mac is PowerMac G5(1.8Ghz) + leopard server 10.5.1.
I have a question.
After typing *java -version*, the following messages are shown.
*Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm*
*java version "1.5.0_13"*
*Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)*
*Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode)*
What is *Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm* ?
Using my other macs, iMac(Intel 1.8GHz) and PowerBook G4(1.5GHz) + leopard client-10.5.1,
the message is
*java version "1.5.0_13"*
*Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)*
*Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)*
So, the difference is "sharing".
Anyone know what it means?

I'm getting the same message. I'm intrigued. This would seem to be something to do with the new version of Java
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)
I don't get the message when doing java -version, but I do get it when starting JBoss:
./run.sh: line 80: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
run.sh: Could not set maximum file descriptor limit: unlimited

=================================================================
Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm

It doesn't seem to cause any trouble, but it would be good to know what it's all about (man java doesn't help).

FTP sharing service not listed under sharing preferenecs

Hi All,
I need to enable FTP sharing on my MacBook Air (2011 OSX 10.7.2) but when I go to the Sharing settings under system preferences, FTP is not listed so I can't turn it on. Any thoughts as to how I install the FTP service?
Thanks!

I know how to enable it, it's just a stunningly bad idea. What are you doing that couldn't be done better with SFTP in 2012?
There's a reason Apple no longer exposes a GUI control for it.
But here:
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
Replace 'load' with 'unload' to turn it off again.

What happened to FTP sharing?

In Tiger, enabling FTP sharing was a godsend for me. Since Mac OS X doesn't have any particularly good ripping programs, I would always rip on my Windows PC with EAC, and then use Filezilla to send all of those files over my network to my Powerbook.
As far as I can tell, though, the FTP option is no longer available in Leopard. Why is this? How should I transfer things over my network now?

Oh, I guess moving everything to the shared documents folder works well enough. It's a little less than ideal, since I want to use the files on that computer, too, and I don't want them in the shared documents folder, but it's not too egregious.

Builtin FTP, sharing only account, refuses connection.

Im trying to setup FTP sharing since the builtin afp is painfully slow.
The ftp setup works fine, allows normal users to connect and view/download content, but the sharing only accounts are refused, saying the user is not allowed to connect via FTP...??
Ive used a group called FTP and added 2 users, one sharing only, and one normal user.
The normal user works fine, but can navigate the whole file system, including system files, other harddrives and non-shared folders.
This is NOT ok, so i will have to use sharing only-account but first i have to get it to work...
Ive tryed connecting both tru finders connect to server and Transmit (ftp app).
Finder reports error -36 or unknown user, transmit reports "user shared may not use ftp".
everything else works fine but something is terribly wrong..
can anyone PLEASE help me troubleshoot?
both client and server-side are 10.5.1 client.
Client: macbook c2d 2ghz 1gb ram
server: quicksilver 867mhz 768mb ram

Thank you guys for some VERY enlightening answers
I think i got the hang of it
But that must mean that if i can create a shell with only the allowed acccess that i provide, i can prehaps make it auto-mount shared folders aswell?
Or is there prehaps a already builtin "profile" i can use just by selecting it in the shell-links?
if there would be an easy way of creating this, i would definitely think other users could benifit from this aswell
Since this is basicly a unix-fix, there must be similar needs, and prehaps complete solutions that would only need minor work to convert to mac-os?
The ftp-privs appears to need SEVERE work to work properly, since normal user has access to EVERYTHING on the server-machine and not only the sharepoints i see as a HUGE problem and MUST be solved ASAP!
I would imagine that the macosx builtin control isnt that specific so prehaps a ftp-share shell even could be more secure and easier maintained?
So my question is two parts;
1: Is there the easy way out, ready made apps that can do this?
2: if not (or good alternatives) where could i search for other os solution?
I have no problems with adding more logins to the computer, but i would preferably not show them all at login (add other..-button or similar to loginscreen or not visible at all) since its my girlfriends work-computer (my harddrive-stash for my puny 80gb laptop, family and friends) i really need a fast but secure file-sharing..

FTP sharing not working

Hello folks!
I am using OS 10.4.11, with an AirPort Express (v 6.3). I am connected to the Internet via cable modem. I am trying to share files with a friend of mine who lives in different country. We figured using FTP would be handy, but in spite of the fact that I have done everything I can think of that would be necessary, it just doesn't work. When he tries to connect to me, he gets no response from my machine and the connection times out.
I have:
(1) Turned ON FTP Sharing in the System Preferences>Sharing>Services.
(2) Verified that the Firewall is turned OFF in System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall.
(3) In the AirPort Utility (5.2.1), Internet>NAT panel, checked 'Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol'
(4) In the AirPort Utility, under Advanced>Port Mapping, set up port forwarding for ports 20 & 21.
(5) Clicked 'Update' to reload the AirPort configuration and restart it.
(6) Created a new account for my friend to use in System Preferences>Accounts
(7) Looked up my IP address with http://whatismyip.com/ .
When he tries to connect to that IP address (the software appends the ':21' to the end of the IP address), it does nothing except time out eventually with this error: "Network Error: Connection Failed. Operation timed out." The same thing happens with an anonymous login attempt.
Note that I also have tried this with item 3 above not checked (NAT Port Mapping Protocol), in case that were to make a difference. It didn't.
Something strange that I noticed is that in in System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall, despite the fact that the Firewall is turned OFF, in the scrolling list of allowed services, "Personal File Sharing," "FTP Access," and "Printer Sharing" are checked, but greyed out. However, other services that I use (and work properly) are checked in solid and have blue checkboxes: "iChat Bonjour," "iTunes Music Sharing," "Network Time," "Transmission," "Limewire," "Gnutella."
I went to http://probe.hackerwatch.org/ and did a port scan, and it came back saying that my port 21 was "completely invisible to the outside world" and secure.
Can anyone tell me what I might have overlooked or done incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for any and all help you might be able to offer.

Ah! Okay.
I verified that indeed, that was {i]a problem. All the port forwarding was set to go to 10.0.1.201:nnnn, and my computer was working from 10.0.1.2!
I did the following to fix that:
I went in to System Preferences>Network, "AirPort" was selected, and I clicked "Configure."
On the resulting pane, I selected the "TCP/IP" tab, set "Configure IPv4" to "Manually" (in the pull-down menu). Then I configured "IP address" to be 10.0.1.201 (the range is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200), the "Subnet Mask" to be 255.255.255.0, and the DNS servers to two internal numbers that were in the AirPort configuration.
I clicked apply, and that worked. Just to be sure, I restarted the computer and the AirPort, even though I believe this isn't necessary.
In any case, it took and nothing appears to be broken, BUT...
When I try to connect with FTP to the IP address I get from http://whatismyip.com/ it times out without being able to connect!

Itunes 9 Sharing Library when Sharing Disabled

Hello,
I believe I have found a bug in the new iTunes 9 Library sharing feature.
I have 4 Macs - all running OS X 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.01
3 are setup for Home Sharing with:
* 'Look for Shared Libraries' enabled
* 'Share my Library on my local network' enabled
The fourth Mac is setup for Home sharing as follows:
- 'Look for Shared Libraries' enabled
- 'Share my Library on my local network' DISABLED
However, despite the 4th Mac having sharing disabled, all other Macs are fully able to access the library on that 4th Mac
To test further I have disabled the 'Share my Library...' option on the other Macs and those 'disabled' libraries also continue to be advertised and accessible.
I have rebooted, enabled and disabled the various options etc but the behaviour is consistent across all 4 macs no matter what I try.
Bottom line - it appears impossible to disable sharing once enabled
If anyone has advice how to report this please let me know. I have screen shots I can share if needed.
///P

Ummm... Maybe this is actually a 'Design Feature' that I've found the answer to myself
Looking at this more it appears that 'Library Sharing' as set in the iTunes Preferences and 'Home Sharing' are similar but completely separate functions.
Home Sharing is either On or Off - the granularity of viewing other libraries but not sharing your own doesn't appear to be an option. And it is enabled and disabled from the advanced menu with no settings in preferences.
This separation of the 2 features - while it makes sense to make it possible to enable the 2 features simultaneously - was not immediately intuitive to me.
Would be great to see Apple somehow clarify this in future versions.

Was library sharing disabled in iTunes 6.0.1.3?

I'm no longer able to see other users' libaries (on my network) since I upgraded to 6.0.1.3. I know others who have the same problem, even though we have "Look for shared music" checked in Preferences. Users with older versions of iTunes can see other libraries without a problem. Anyone know what the problem is here? Is there some security built in to the new version that prevents sharing? Or limits it somehow?
Dell Inspiron 9100 Windows XP

Well, I've noticed this problem at work (while using my work laptop on a network with other users -- some who have iTunes 5 and some iTunes 6) and at home (using a completely different laptop).
At first I thought it was a configuration problem on my work laptop, but now I'm thinking it has something to do with iTunes itself.
The weird thing is: People at work who use iTunes 5.0 can see the shared drives without a problem. Those with 6.0 cannot. So this problem is replicating itself in two completely different environments -- leading me to believe it's something in iTunes 6. Hmm....
Dell Inspiron 9100 Windows XP

Windows 8.1 finds printer in the other room but I have all sharing disabled.

I have everything I can see disabled for sharing. Everything in:
-Start > PC settings
-When I go to Start and type in 'homegroup', 'Network', 'workgroup', etc.
-This Computer > Network
-All file explorer folders and drives.
I think W8.1 installed like this.
I have a printer that's like 15 years old and worked fine in XP but couldn't get it to work with W8.1. I made a thread and we tried basically everything but I gave up and am getting a new printer. I'm waiting from the manufacturer if there's a universal
driver or if it definitely can't be used with W8.
But anyway, when I tried to print, Windows couldn't find the 15 year old printer and asked to 'install a printer?" When I hit yes, it tries to install the printer on a computer in the other room (I know because of the printer name). That printer IS
on a workgroup and can be printed from other computers here and most likely without a password or anything (but never printed from my PC using XP that I noticed).
I have "sharing and the ability to see other computers and devices on this network" turned off, so how did I
find the device? Is it because the device is set to share without a password and windows thinks it's doing me a favor by allowing me to see it despite it saying I have even seeing other devices blocked?
I don't want to share anything at all to the network/workgroup/homegroup. I installed W8.1 about a week ago and haven't retreived my XP data from my external because of possible unaware sharing.
And, I'm pretty sure the workgroup here is called WORKGROUP, and even though I don't think I'm sharing on it, it says I'm on WORKGROUP under my 'System', so I also changed that to random jumbled letters. Is that an extra step to insure no sharing or actually
prone to more accidental sharing, or it doesn't matter?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I might have figured it out sorta.
I could never get my Dell XPS 630 motherboard's onboard NIC to work with XP. Instead, I plugged my internet wire into a SMC1211TX add-on card that has a built-in driver and always worked.
In device manager, SMC1211TX is called "Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC". Device Manager shows the onboard NIC as "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" and it works with Windows 8.1.
I'm %98 sure that both cards don't have wireless capabilities. Although this site calls the SMC1211TX a wireless card and I read people installing drivers to make it wireless but I'm not sure if that requires additional hardware: [link]
All I can search out is people trying to add wireless to the Dell XPS 630's NVIDIA NIC and people saying that it does not come with wireless. I can't seem to find an exact model # for the onboard NVIDIA NIC to see if it has Ethernet, but according to this,
it has Ethernet [link]
Someone mentioned "Is the printer on Ethernet, or is it connected directly to a PC? If it's on Ethernet, anything on the local network can see it."
The printer has a fax line from the wall phone jack, power cords, and the data cable's USB'd to the computer in the other room. The printer has Wireless enabled. The computer that the printer's plugged into might have an Ethernet card (I checked network
controllers in Device Manager etc on that PC and didn't see the word Ethernet, but it might be). So, I turned off the computer in the other room that the printer's connected to, but I still found the printer when I tried to print when using my Realtek RTL8139/810x
Family Fast Ethernet NIC. So I'm thinking that maybe since that NIC has Ethernet that I'm also getting wireless by being connected to a wireless router and it picks up the wireless printer? And that this still doesn't breach me sharing anything from my computer
because everything's private right?
I also plugged into the onboard NVIDIA NIC. I tried to print and see if the onboard card would find the printer in the other room and it did; however, when I tried a few more times, it wouldn't find the printer anymore, so I thought maybe this card doesn't
have Ethernet and that's why I could still find the printer with the other Ethernet card. But then even after rebooting a few times, I could still find the printer with the NVIDIA NIC with the computer in the other room turned off, so I'm thinking that maybe
the NVIDIA NIC also has Ethernet? Or that maybe it doesn't and it only tried to install the printer because the info was cached from using the Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC?
Also worth mentioning that the first thing I did after installing 8.1 was download drivers (chipset first then BIOS then one or two others). The only chipset driver from Dell was for XP so I tried it anyway but it didn't install. The BIOS flash seemed to work.
I tried their automated assistant to find and install drivers but it just showed the same XP drivers.

Upgraded to 10.10.3, iPhoto Sharing Disabled

My Dad upgraded from Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 to 10.10.3, and now the iPhoto 9.6.1 Share selections for iCloud, Messages, and Flickr are disabled (dimmed out). It may be coincidence, but he accidentally started the new Photos app, and I'm not sure how far he got in the library migration process. Any ideas on why the sharing options are disabled and how to correct? I tried repairing permissions, verifying his iCloud and Flickr accounts (i.e. logging in via a web browser), and verifying his Flickr account was enabled in iPhotos preferences.
Thanks, Will

I was able to fix my loss of iPhoto.
1) I copied iPhoto.app from Applications folder to my backup drive (just to be sure, but in my case not necessary)
2) Dragged iPhoto from Applications folder to Trash.
3) Went to App Store and iPhoto now said "Install" instead of "upgrade"
4) Clicked on "Install", and it downloaded a huge (over 1gig) file.
5) Went to the Applications folder clicked on the newly downloaded iPhoto.app
6) When it opens its says your data has been migrated to Photos, and asks if you really want to use iPhoto. Choose to use iPhoto.
7) It then rebuilds your iPhoto library, and you are back to having a working iPhoto

Screen Sharing Disabled Per User?

Hi, this is a repost from OSX usability forums...hopefully someone can help here:
I caught a kid cheating this morning by utilizing Screen Sharing to see what his neighbor was answering on a test. I would like to disable Screen Sharing as it pertains to the user, but I still need to run Remote Desktop and see all machines at the admin level. Each kid has an OpenDirectory account, so would it be possible to block at that level?

Block the Screen Sharing application. If the accounts are OD accounts, just add this to the MCX set and start enforcing an explicit deny on the Screen Sharing app. That should resolve it. The other option, assuming all systems have a unified admin account that the kids don't know, go into System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management and choose "only these users" and add the local admin account only. That should set up a SACL for the ARD/Screen Sharing process to only allow access for the one user, not for all potential users of the machine.
Hope this helps

Just updated to Firefox 29, now I have this thing at the top that says "Google Sharing Disabled." What is that?

When I click on it, it says "Google Sharing Enabled." What does this mean? Can I leave it disabled but get rid of that button/bar? There's no real trouble. I'm just curious about this, and also it's a little annoying.

This sounds like a problem with the GoogleSharing extension that shows in the System Details List.

Enabling 'Internet Sharing' disables my internet connection

Hi all, my desktop computer (iMac 27") is hooked up to the internet via ethernet cable/modem. Very simple configuration. I normally share the internet connection (password protected) that my other devices access via wifi.
For months this has been working just fine. today I've been having connectivity issues. I worked with my cable company to determine the issue. what finally solved it was disabling wifi, shutting down the modem & computer. Then boot the modem, afterwards boot the computer.
This worked great, I saw everything working in Network Diagnostics...
Then, I re-enabled Internet Sharing, with the same settings I've used for months, and I saw the connection disappear immediately in Network Diagnostics (Ethernet & Network Settings were green, all else red).
Rebooting the router didn't work. Restarting the computer with with wifi enabled didn't work. I had to disable wifi, turn off everything, boot modem, boot computer to get it to work again. Any time afterwards, where I enabled Internet Sharing the connection would break again.
Please help! Thanks!

I guess he meant to give this link :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c1gs9.html
Also setup DNS in the server and use that for LAN clients or you probably will have to change firewall settings to allow the use of a public DNS to-from LAN.
