How can I set-up to receive a file with FTP?

I want to receive a .pdf file from another, but the file is rejected by my email service provider for size.  What are the requirements and steps for arranging to receive this large file using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?  I'm using OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with a DSL Internet connection nominally at 10 MBs download.

Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • How can I scan multiple pages to one file with MG 7120

    My printer does not have ADF. How can I scan multiple pages to one file on my MG 7120?

    Hi albabynyr,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single file.  To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
    1. Start IJ Scan Utility by going to your Start menu, then selecting All Programs, then Canon Utilities, then  IJ Scan Utility (folder), then IJ Scan Utility (program).
    2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
    4. In the right pane of the window, locate the SELECT SOURCE field and select the DOCUMENT option.
    5. Set the color mode, document size, and scanning resolution as required in the rest of the fields shown in the window. Click DOCUMENT SCAN ORIENTATION SETTINGS... to specify the orientation of the documents to be scanned.
    6. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
    a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
    b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
    c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears. If you have more pages to scan, place the next page on the platen and click Scan.  Do this each time a page has completed scanning.  After the last page has been scanned, click Exit. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed during scanning.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

    I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only".  Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
    “Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
    a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
    First, create the account in Outlook: -
    Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
    POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
    In the Outgoing server field, type
    nomail.
    Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
    If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
    Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
    Deselect the option to
    Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
    Click on the
    Finish to return to Outlook.
    Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
    Send and Receive Settings for this account.
    Press
    Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
    Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
    Click the
    Edit button.
    Select the receive-only account, then deselect
    Send Mail Items.
    Click on the
    OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

    There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (it won't work with existing accounts) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when buying it - if you are doing it on your iPad then you will need to log out of your account first by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores, otherwise that account will be used

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • How can I set the SRQ bit on GPIB with LabView ?

    Hello,
    I am developping an application with LabView RT on a PXI RT system. This application acts as an instrument (non controller GPIB), and I need to assert the SRQ line. How can I do that ?
    I know the ibrsv function, but I can't find it in LabView, and I can not use it through a DLL call since GPIB DLLs are not compatible with Real-Time.
    Thank you.

    Hello Alfonso,
    It sounds like you might be getting errors -200279 and -200278.  (In the future, if you post the actual error codes, it helps us to know exactly what is happening).  Error -200279 happens when you are performing a hardware-timed acquisition (meaning the data is sampled according to a clock signal on your board), but your LabVIEW program is not reading the values from the buffer allocated for that task in computer memory fast enough.  Basically it's a buffer overflow error.  It means older samples have been overwritten before you attempted to read them out.  As the error message suggests, "increasing the buffer size, reading the data more frequently, or specifying a fixed number of samples to read instead of reading all available samples might correct the problem."  For more information on this error, please see the KB (DAQmx) Error -200279 During a Continuous, Buffered Acquisition.
    Error -200278 happens most often when you have configured a finite acquisition, but are calling the DAQmx Read function in a loop.  If you want to perform a finite acquisition, you should only call DAQmx Read once.  For more information on this error, see the KB Error -200278 at DAQmx Read.
    Finally, please refer to Abhinav's earlier post about the sample rate on the 9237 module.  As he described, the NI-DAQmx 8.3 driver will only allow you to set the sample clock to integer divisions of 50k (50,000/n, where n can be 1, 2, 3...13).  Since the maximum divisor is 13, the smallest sample rate that can be used is 3.846 kS/s.  You can check what value the driver is actually using for the sample clock by reading from the SampClk.Rate property of the DAQmx Timing property node.
    I hope this helps!  Let me know if you have any questions about what I've described.
    Best regards,

  • How can I set up a List of Figures with extra text?

    I'm writing my Art History dissertation, which includes a substantial group of figures at the end.  My advisor has requested that I caption the images, but also provide a List of Figures before the actual images begin.  I've got it figured out this far--I'm using the Table of Contents feature to automatically number the captions and then pull the caption text back to the List of Figures. 
    Here's the snag:  I need to include attribution information about where I found the images I'm using, but only in the list of figures.  My advisor specifically requested that I not include this information in the captions as he felt it cluttered the images.  How can I include small amounts of text (for example "After Jones 1987, Fig. 22") for hundreds of images in the List of Figures without putting this info in the captions themselves? 
    Of course, just typing the info into the List of Figures doesn't work--as soon as the list is updated the extra text gets erased.  I've been playing around with hidden layers, but when I create a new hidden layer with text frames the numbering of the original layer is disturbed.  Any ideas about how to preserve the numbering and include the extra information in the List of Figures without adding it to the visible caption? I'd be very grateful for any help.

    Perhaps at the end of your caption, in a [None] coloured text, 0.1 pt size? Don't put it into a separate paragraph, 'cause you'd need to pick this up as well for your TOC. To edit this invisibly small text, you can use the Story Editor.
    (And I got quite far suggesting making it Conditional Text, which you would normally hide, having it show only when you generated the List of Figures, before a few dormant neurons woke up and demanded attention.
    'Course it would work -- you would get the extra text in your list, and if you hide the conditional text again, your document would reverse to "normal" state. However, making the conditional text visible may cause your text to reflow, and thus your regular Contents would be okay but the List of Figures -- generated with more text in your document! -- could well be off by a few pages ...)

  • How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

    My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):
    http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf
    Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
    http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
    Scope?
    I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
    - the smallest possible file size
    - which displays images and text sharp on the screen
    - which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
    - that is flattened for easy print
    The problem?
    ▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
    ▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Further explanation
    The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
    ▪ With InDesign 5.0?
    → In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
    Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
    Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
    Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
    Standard > PDF/X-format?
    Compatibility > PDF-version?
    Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                            which method and settings to I have to use ?
    Ouput > How can I control colors and PDF/X output intent profiles in the PDF-file?
    Advanced > How can I control fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are
                      in the PDF file?
    ▪ With Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    → How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
    → How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
    !! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
    WHAT CAN I DO ??

    I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com.

  • How can I set up a WD My Cloud with my Airport Extreme - I can't get it to open ports 80 and 443?

    For remote internet access to the WD My Cloud Mirror, I have been advised that ports 80 and 443 must be open in order to reach the WDMyCloudMirror.  My Motorola Gateway (Surfboard SB6141) is connected directly to my Airport Extreme (WAN port) which is in turn connected to the WDMyCloudMirror (all by ethernet cables).  I do not have FULL instructions on how to properly manually configure the Airport Extreme to open the ports.  I have tried an earlier posting which provides many of the steps, but not all of the required information is included (how to determinge the IP address to be assigned, etc.).  I did the best I could with the information given, but the test using "YouGetSignal" showed the ports as still closed and attemps to reach the WDMyCloudMirror by the internet failed as well (of course).  The WDMyCloudMirror has enough Apple "stuff" included in it (software, I suspect) that an Apple legal acceptance is required for its set-up, yet Western Digital Tecnical Support is unable (or unwilling?) to help with this aspect of its configuration required to work within the Airport Extreme environment.  I have returned the WD My Cloud Mirror to Amazon as "not able to work", but I have not given up the hope that I can eventually get the ports open so that I can get this cloud device, or one similar, to permit remote internet access.

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.
