FTP upload with Flex 3

Is it possible to upload a partiular file, in this case a
users answer file, to an FTP site with out any interaction from the
user. For example, when they are done the test, upload the answer
file to an FTP site (without using cold fusion or asp or
.net)?

I have downloaded the coded and converted it to work with
Flex 3 (changed it to WindowedApplication, and updated the
FlexFTP-app.xml file). When i run it, I get the following:
220 jpl Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
USER jhughes
331 Password required for jhughes.
PASS *****
230 User jhughes logged in.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (66,109,241,93,12,42).
LIST
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.
TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (66,109,241,93,12,43).
STOR //test.txt
550 /test.txt: Access is denied.
It allows me to connect when I have the correct password but
it will not allow me to upload or download files. Any ideas?

Can I build a photo uploader with Flex?

Hi,
I am looking into Flex as a possible platform to build a new
photo website. I know that many of my requirements fit great with
the flex/flash platform. But one specific issue is to build an
easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy photo uploader which feels like
Flickr/Picasa and can manage picking 100s of files/folders. That
means I need:
1 - local read access to the filesystem to browse JPGs for
upload
2 - local write access to add EXIF keywords to selected JPGs
(i.e. uploaded tag)
3 - network access to upload to my website
For the absolute simplest user experience, I think I need to
run in a local-trusted sandbox, an SWF downloaded and configured by
an installer. I think that will get me 1 and 3. But I think 2 is a
problem - am I limited to only writing local shared objects to the
filesystem?
If this is so, is there a workaround for this? For example,
can I call a local executable to write the EXIF data to JPG, or can
I use the Flex/AJAX bridge to expose my SWF to javascript and
somehow use that to write the EXIF data?
Also, can someone point me in the right direction to
understand how to write an installer that will configure a
local-trusted SWF?
Thanks,
m.

Sorry, no. That feature is not supported in iPhoto for iOS.

FTP Uploading with Safari

Hi.
I'm new to mac, and can't seem to upload files to FTP sites (for website hosting/updates etc)
On my old windows machine, I could just drag & drop the files onto the FTP site, but safari won't even let me open the FTP site at all.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Here are a couple of other sites discussing your issues:

File upload with 'asp vb' backend

Hello,
I am trying to get file uploading with flex (flash buider) working. There are plenty of examples with a php backend, but i need the script for a 'asp vb' backend.
I' ve tried lots of different approaches but can't get it right. Someone out there with a solution?
Thanx!!

Believe it or not I have to do this also.
I have legacy ASP code that uses ASPUpload that I'd like to get working with my Flash CS5 and FlashBuilder Burrito front-ends.
it's just multipart encoded.
So, if you first test it with ASPUpload and a simple form, trying just FILE1 first, and it works with ASP backend then tackle the FlashBuilder side with some debugging.
ASPUpload is still an extremely embedded component on tens of thousands if not more sites, and it was just updated, but I think the previous version just before this update, the one that's out there in code on so many sites, that is what Flash needs to work with.
ASPUpload is doing its part, as it follows all the multipart encoded RFC rules and has worked for years.
I'd love to join you in finding out what's going on here.
This is a long-standing issue.
I've done PHP also. But again, enhancing an interface with FlashBuilder4 or Burrito, to integrate with working legacy code makes it hard when something is not working on the Flash side (it appears anyway) as ASPUpload form posts are extremely easy.

FTP upload slow/timeout

When I try to upload, via Fetch, Dreamweaver, whatever, the upload times out. I am wired (ethernet) to a router and out via DSL. The PC on the same router is sometimes slow on the upload, but nothing like the mac.
any help?
thanks.

Update.
I tested the ftp upload with success through a different network.
The issue seems to be a known bug in the Thomson modem from my ISP.
The modem will be exchanged.

How do I automatically upload files to an FTP server with Compressor 4?

So I've been using Compressor 4 in order to compress some videos into a manageable size for streaming. However, I've been trying to figure out how to set up an automatic FTP upload to the program Transmit through Compressor 4, but have been running into roadblocks. When choosing a destination by using the plus icon in the destinations tab, the choice of local or remote no longer appears. Also, when going to the actions tab in the Inspector box, the option to "Execute Applescript" is also gone.
Has anyone found a way around this yet? I have no experience with Automator, so I am hesitatnt in spending the time to learn a new program just to make the process of compressing and uploading more efficient.

Hi Nick.
I'm afraid it went missing in the 4.0.3 update for whatever reason. Unless you have a way of rolling C back one version, you'll either have to write a work-around or see whether it re-appears in a future version.

Help with ftp upload problem

Hi I am using a ftp class (known as FTPConnection) that i found on this site: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm , and they only have an example of how to download a File through FTP and not upload one. I am in the proccess of making an FTP upload applet, and need some help on getting upload to work. I also need it to work on both a Pc and mac, so that may be attributing to the problem becuase i am currently on a mac which uses file:// instead of C:\\. Ill post the ftp class, and a snippet of my code that tries to upload a selected file.

ok i tried explaining th eproblem in the previous post, but i apologize if my explanation was poor. anyways, i tried to look into it further by doing a printStackTrace() and believe it may be a read error. here is my new updated snippet, and also a link to a screenshot ([click here for screenshot|http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4qr0.png]) of what the error looks like on my end. it seems like a socket is not being read, or maybe it is initialized properly. Again I apologize if my problem is vague, but I do appreciate your input. thanks.

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook. Problems with ftp upload

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook. I am trying to upload to an ftp server. The connection is established with no problem but any attempt to upload files times out. This is an intermittent problem. I have been using fetch as an ftp client quuite successfully for a long time. The problem starts when there is trouble with the broadband connection. The ftp upload then falls over. I have managed to re-establish it in the past by setting up the connections from scratch. This has not worked this time. The same thing happens with two other clients that I have, so it is not specifically related to fetch. I can uplad files from PC's and by using my iphone's 3g connection as a personal hotspot. The problem seems to lie with the way the macs (the same thing happens on an older mac also running OSX) communicate with the router. I have tried with and without passive mode.
Please can anyone help. It is driving me to distraction.
Oh and I have just downloaded the latest security update.

For anyone else with the same problem.
My husband discovered the problem is with the MTU, maximum transmission unit . This article describes the problem and solution very clearly
http://www.macgurulounge.com/manually-managing-mtu-size-in-mac-os-x/
Our router was running at 1492 and the mac at 1500. I found that resetting to 1400 cured the problem.
I hope this is helpful to other folk having the same problem

Trouble with browser editing FTP upload

I have been updating a site to a sub-domain of my personal site while working for client. Yesterday when I tried to walk them through the in-browser editing feature I got an error that wouldn't let me login to edit the site. I followed all of the instructions in the error message (use the "upload via FTP" setting, sign in with the same user) but I still can't log in. Is this a bug with how Muse handles sub-domains, or what else am I doing wrong?

No, everything uploaded correctly. You can see my site properly

Free Website Hosting With No Ads, Free FTP Uploading

Hi there!
I am working on a website for a technology scholarship I am applying for. I need to upload my iWeb site, so I am going to use Cyberduck. I need a web host that is ad free (it is a requirement of the scholarship) and offers free FTP uploading (so I can upload using Cyberduck). Thanks for your help!

I need a web host that is ad free (it is a requirement of the scholarship) and offers free FTP uploading (so I can upload using Cyberduck).
Who is your ISP? Normally ISP's offer their subscribers a certain (smallish) amount of free ftp accessible web space. That would probably be your best bet, because others are unlikely to meet your criteria.
Or perhaps a school you have a relationship with.

Uploading with ftp client.

I am constantly updating my site on iweb but am wondering the best way to upload it. I use captain ftp and upload the whole site again everytime i update it. Is this right? Is it not using all my allocated data transfer limit.

Michael,
What you wrote is basically what I understood I had to do but I hoped there was a better way than uploading manually.
In fact, even if iWeb has the BAD habit to re-create your whole site (especially when you add a new page) thus making large sites very difficult to manage (my poor Mac takes two hours to do that with my 220 MB domain file...), at least iWeb DOES know what it actually has to upload on .Mac.
Whenever you apply a change, you see icons on the left panel going red.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work with FTP publishing so you have to:
- keep track of what you have done or
- FTP upload your whole site any time you make a change or
- keep your "sites" in different domain files and make full uploads shorter
I do hope this thing is going to be solved, sooner or later: I have a .Mac account but, just as James wrote, there are many good reasons to use a third party's hosting.
At least, I'd like to be able to turn off the "Publish to .Mac" feature in the preference panel in order not to upload by mistake to .Mac a site I only upload via FTP.

Problems With FTP Upload in Leopard 10.5.3-4

Hi, I experience a strange problem with ftp upload speed in 10.5.3-4. When I start upload a file to my trusted ftp server the upload speed starts to decrease from 300 kb/sec to 35 -40 kb/sec. It remains normal for 1-2 minutes (about 300 kb/sec) and then smoothly decreases to 35 -40 kb/sec. Pressing Stop and then Resume in Cyberduck makes speed normal for 1-2 minutes and then it starts to decrease again. It does not depend on ftp-client, it does not matter if I use either Cyberduck, Transmit or Fetch. It happens if I use either ethernet or airport connection. I have my old Powerbook with 10.4.11, it's connected to the same router with the same settings and the same time upload speed remains stable about 300 kb/sec.
But when I transfer files from my Macbook to my old Powerbook via ftp everything is fine. And when I transfer files to ftp server of my local ISP it's also fine.
Please, help me, I have to upload big 100 Mb files very often and it's significant difference for me 30 or 300 kb/sec
Boris

I'm afraid it's not just the Duck or FTP, Boris....It's many many Apps...and protocols... 10.5 appears to have ;broken',a number of file transfer protocols and Apps... (Wired and KDX are two that come to mind- precisely the same symptoms, AND some others) Apple's own 'built-in' FTP appears OK Mac-Mac, oddly enough.
There's obviously some kind of weird Copy-Paste problem too.
It's obviously 'fixable' or a workaround is available because several s/w mobs have released 'fixes for 10.5 file transfer Bug'
The rest of us will just have to wait while another unannounced,unacknowledged, gaping hole in the Mac OS is quietly fixed and our expensive s/w sits unusable...
Not really good enough, is it ?
Like: Not being able to automatically detect a part file transfer on FTP and Auto-resume from whence you left off: something we thought was pretty cool- back in about 1984.... and absolutely essential in 86 or so.
Boris:You will almost certainly find that it happens whatever the client-server server setup and applications or Medium... I've seen precisely what you describe happen with Airport, Cable, 10/100/1000' local' LAN...
- and watching your throughput drop from 300K to 300 BYTES/Sec is NO FUN.
I've spent a lot of time and money convincing potential 'Switchers' of the superiority of the Mac way over the last 20 years or so...
I'm getting pretty tired at defending the indefensible: 'SkoolBoy Misstakes' in a 24 year old 'superior Computer.- Not Good enough, Apple.

Problems Uploading With Muse FTP And Publishing.

Hi
Please help if you can.
I have finished creating my website and launched it onto Adobe businesscatlyst and it looks fine!
http://magicorganic.businesscatalyst.com/
There is a major problem loading up to my web host. IPage.
Firstly i loaded it with the FTP feature in Muse and it stopped uploading at 61% and I got an error message concerning images.
I then exported the files to My Docs. ( And noted there is no Home Page mentioned just Index) here:
I then uploaded these manually to IPage: Here
and viewed my site www.magicorganic.co.uk and its all over the place. I then tried to upload again using FTP with the files already on the host and it loaded 91% before and error message. See here:
If anyone has any ideas of where to go with this please gt back to me.
Many thanks

They did reset permisssions etc. But by then I had already loaded up every file manually. There was a problem as the CSS files went into the root folder so were not working properly, this is now fixed.
I want to make a few adjustments to the website copy. I have already done this on businesscatalyst, which was painless.
To ensure that copy changes take place do i simply upload with the FTP, as I know the host system will overwrite existing files or is it more complicated? And do I upload all files or selected files?
Please advise
Many thanks
James

Incredibly slow FTP upload speeds on Intel Macs with OS 10.5

I've been using FTP programs like Fetch and Vicomsoft FTP for years and recently bought two new Intel iMacs to add to my office. I still have my older G5 iMacs as well. We have an extremely high speed business class broadband connection and on the older iMacs that are running 10.4.11, our FTP connection through Fetch and Vicomsoft with them is absolutely super-fast with upload speeds of close to 300 kb/sec.
However, on the new iMacs, which are Intel Macs and run OS 10.5, the FTP upload connection is insanely slow, with upload connections of less than 30 kb/sec (yes, 10 times slower). It starts out fast at first (like all FTP connections) but then very rapidly slows to a maddening crawl of 30 kb/sec or less.
Anyone have any idea what this might be attributed to? Or anyone out there have the same problem? We are having to transfer everything to our older iMacs in order to upload, which is another huge time waste.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, on the new Intel Macs, we have tried using both Fetch 4.0.3 (which is the version we have on the older iMacs) as well as Fetch 5.3 and the same slowness problem exists for both.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. 
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Big troubles with FTP upload since upgrade to leopard

Hello out there,
I made an upgrade from tiger to leopard 3 weeks ago (10.5.7) on my iMac (Intel - early 2006). Since this time I Have big troubles with ftp upload.
I'm using Cyberduck as FTP client and it worked very well before but since the upgrade it starts quick and falls down to a view kb after a view seconds. Sometimes it stops completely.
Target Server is checked and working well. Also the ISP is fine (tested with a windows machine).
As it is important for my business (photographer) I would appreciate if somebody can give me a quick hint how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

I am also experiencing this problem, but only (so far) with one hosting company of the many I FTP into (web designer). The symptoms are exactly as reported above. Files initially start uploading fine, then slow to a crawl and stall. This is the same regardless of FTP software. Error reports say the server is not responding.
This problem is the same using my daughter's computer (also running 10.5.7), but my son (being my son) hasn't updated his OS since 10.5.5 and I encounter NO problems whatsoever FTPing from his machine, nor from a PC.
It's only the uploads that seem to cause a problem. Communicating with the server to download, rename, move or delete files presents no issues.
(In trying to track down where the problem was, I also discovered that the traceroute command to any site on both 10.5.5 and 10.5.7 stalls at the modem, though pings work fine as does tracert from the PC.)
