How to setup local FTP

Earlier I asked how to setup LAN
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=12874
How to upload files on LAN? How to configure?

For a long time I have used FTP for LAN file transfers. Actually I am running NFS for my Linux Desktop and Samba for my roommate.
A FTP service is very fast and easy to set-up and can be used by windows or Linux. I you just want to transfer file or do some backups, this is great ! vsftpd is the fastest and most secure ftp sever I have saw until now. Well documented too. Actually you have to read documentation if you want it to work with your local system users on your server. Unless you already know how to configure vsftpd... It is quite easy actually.
proftpd works out of the box with local system users non chrooted. Just pacman -Sy proftpd then /etc/rc.d/proftpd start and you have a nice ftp server. If you want to open your server to the world, I strongly recommend vsftpd !
FTP is ok for sharing small amount of files not accessed too often. For sharing large amount of files, you are better with NFS for Linux and Samba for Windows. I you need help with these, just ask !

How to setup local loopback for "Oracle 11g Release 2" installtion

Hi all,
I was trying to install the Oracle 11g Release 2 on Red hat 6 using Local Loop back configuration, but not able to install..
The contents of are:-
/etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 59.179.243.70
nameserver 203.94.243.70
and of /etc/hosts are:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
and
System eth0 is having setting given below:-
IPV4 is set to " Automatic(DHCP)".
IPV6 is set to "ignore".
If i select system etho0 then host-name gets changed it becomes "dhcppc0".
i checked it using command host-name. and if i try to install with this configuration then during installation gives error of networking as host-name has been changed to "dhcppc0".
Please tell me what to do for local loopback configuration
Am i doing some thing wrong?
Thanks

i am using "oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0" but same problem was there with oracle 10g on redhat 5.
Please tell me how to setup local loopback configuration so that i can use internet as well as oracle on same machine. otherwise for internet use i have to change my system ipV4 to automatic(DHCP). if i change it to automatic(DHCP) then oracle stop its working please tell me solution for both case.
I can not assign Static IP to IPv4, i earlier post i got recommendation to connfigure Local Loopback , but i am able to setup it.
what ever the setting i have done are given below:--
vi /etc/hosts

How to setup specific FTP access on 10.4 Server??

I want to setup an FTP on our server.
I want to allow specific access to only a couple of users...
Its so a supplier can dump an automated data dump onto the server for us to utilize.
So I want an account for them so they can only access a predefined area, of which 2 other users has access to.
I dont wan't to allow access to any of our other workgroup users.
How would I go about setting this up?
Our website is hosted with a external hosting company and NS are pointing to them and we have a fixed I.P address for our internal mail and everything else etc etc.

How to setup local SLD in CE 7.1

Hi, all.
i installed CE 7.1 but how can i setup(install) local SLD on
this CE?
i tried to setup as i did with NW04s but /sld/admin does not
show administration screen for installation.
Let me summarize my questions.
1. Is it possible to setup local SLD in CE 7.1?
2. If possible, could someone tell me how?
3. If impossible, when CE supports its own SLD?
Best Regards.
Sejoon

Hi Sejoon,
I think that in NetWeaver CE 7.1 trial version the SLD service is not installed. If in your system landscape exists a SLD 7.0 server you can connect your CE instance to it.

How to setup the FTP Service by the OS X Server? Thanks~

Dear All,
OS X 10.8.2
I want to setup a FTP Service by the "OS X Server".
When I start the FTP Service, I can't login by my account.
FTP Service and FTP Client run at the same computer,
I think it's not the network problem.
Do you have the documents about the FTP Setting or "OS X Server" User Guide?
Thanks
Austin

service generally manages the lower level services on the system.
High level services such as Apache are managed via serveradmin:
serveradmin status web
serveradmin start web

How to setup ftp with dreamweaver and windows server 2003

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
John

No. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

How To Setup A Local Exchange Server Integrated With Office365 For A Single Mailbox

Hello,
We recently migrated to Office365 but had an issue since we need more than 16 simultaneous connections to a single mailbox. Because of this, we need to deploy a local Exchange Server that will be used to host a single mailbox that requires up to 500 simultaneous
connections for a Contact Center application. I'm looking for information on how to setup the local Exchange Server to basically create a local instance of a mailbox hosted on Office 365. So we can have our application open the numerous simultaneous connections
to our local server which will then connection to Office 365 to send/receive email through the mailbox hosted on Office365.
Please let me know if you have any information or resources you can direct me toward.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
To deploy local Exchange server integrated with Office 365, we can depend on Exchange Server Deployment Assistant:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exdeploy2013/Checklist?state=2419-W-AAAAAAAAQAAAAAEAAAAAAAA%7e
Please note that there may be 9646 error if there are many simultaneous connections at the same time.
Thanks,

How to setup not start cf9 local server on PC startup of VISTA OS

how to setup not start cf9 local server on PC startup of VISTA OS...? How to startup it manualy later if I wanted to?

The same way you would for any other Windows service: use the Services app in your Control Panel.

How do I setup 'local' dns lookups for hostnames using DHCP server on WRT610N?

Said router with latest firmware has DHCP reservation setup with reserved clients names mapped to specific MAC addresses/IP addresses. I'd like my clients (a mixture of Mac and W7) to access mapped devices via hostnames and not IP addresses. I have static IP address provided by my ISP configured on the router with it's corresponding ISP DNS server addresses. FYI, the DHCP server DNS settings on the router are masked out (can't be changed) on the router and looks to be inherited from the Internet setup (in which I've entered the DNS IP addresses of my ISP's DNS).
On my clients, nslookup (or equivalent) clearly specify that the DHCP is pumping out the DNS servers from the ISP. Why would it not look for the reserved client hostnames first?
I know I can setup local /etc/hosts (or equivalents) or override the DNS and point to the router's IP address on the clients but I'd rather not - that's a lot of maintenance. I can also setup an internal DNS server, but again, overkill.
Is this feature available on this router or am I doing something wrong? An aging integrated Westell 327W DSL model/router used to be able to provide internal network DNS - but this more modern capable WRT610N router does not? Thoughts? Thanks.

Well its not possible to access the storage driver using the host name.. You can access the storage driver using only the IP address. As the Linksys Router doesn't work on a Host Name.

How to Move Local Users to Network Domain Users

Before you follow these instructions...... I'm a rank amateur so I'd check to see if the smart kids have corrected my errors or improved on the method in the replies below
The reason for the post is I have good and established local user accounts on all the computers and moving them to domain controlled accounts is the one topic I could not find a script to follow that worked for my low level of knowledge of OS X.
Let me first explain my setup and needs. I'm replacing a Windows Home Server (WHS) with the Mac Mini Server. My goal was to have the Mac Mini as the server holding all our photos, data, etc. and running a user account to run the family iTunes account to feed the Apple TV and be the backup / sync point for a family sized set of iPod Touches, iPads and iPhones. I want to be able to log into each mac and have the same information setting, links, etc........ basically walk around the house, find any mac shaped device not used by someone else, log in and carry on where I was before - with the MacBook Air having a portable account so it can come travelling with us.
The key hardware is...
Mac Mini Server running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Apple TV
2 x iMac Running Lion 10.7.1 [upgraded from 10.6.8]
MacBook Air running Lion 10.7.1 [upgraded from 10.6.8]
Normal stuff like wifi, hubs and a router doing the DHCP (and for me reserving IP addresses based on the 'MAC Address' to save me having to manually configure all the IP addresses)
Key Resources I used as I learnt how to do this; to level set you all, I'm a relative newcomer to OS X having had a Windows life with Linux for fun, so i'm not a mac or IT specialist but like to play around.
Apple's podcast series 'Apple Quick Tour of Leopard Server' - this is great, it informed me and kept me motivated through all the bah moments, all 33 episodes and it's in the iTunes store as a podcast.
The book 'Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server For Dummies' - I bought this about half way through the whole process and wish i'd bought it earlier, my reccomendation would be get the Kindle version so you can search it for advice.
The excellent information on DNS from Hoffman Labs http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436
The video 'Setting up a primary DNS zone.....' from Lynda.com on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEgQY9oFK4
The Series of PDF document on Snow Leopard Server from Apple http://support.apple.com/manuals#mac%20os%20x%20server%20v10.6
And finally this excellent post from Joe Ferrante which was the core of what I used http://joeferrante.net/how-to-migrate-local-user-account-to-network-user-account -with-networked-home-folder-on-snow-leopard-server/
Right off we go....
Setting up the Server [this took me 6 goes to get it right as I learnt a little each time].
So i'm not going to go through this step by step because it in the 'dummies' book and the videos from Apple above and those will be better than anything I write but here's my details/advice.
I split the primary disc into 2 partitions using disk utility so I could reformat the operating system without moving my data.
100GB for the OS X system
400GB for user data
Install OS X from the DVD, press the buttons based on your desires but stop at the bit about naming you computer titled Network Names
READ UP ON DNS - this one of the reason I had so many goes as it was the 1st time i've set up a server like this using DNS and guessing didn't get me there.
If you don't have one buy a domain name for your network it make it much easier in the long run & is $10 well spent
The name needs to be [the computer name].[your domain name].[com or net or org, etc]
So if you want you computer to be called fred and you bought or have the domain location.com enter fred.location.com in the primary DNS name box
This shoud automatically put fred in the computer name box.
Follow along with the set up guide to finish
After you have finished the set up test the DNS with NSLOOKUP in a terminal window
nslookup fred.location.com in my example and you should get the IP
Add your servers IP address to the list of DNS servers in network preferences on the client mac.
Bind [link] the client computers to the server in Accounts on the client computer - I used the 'dummies' book for this but there's lots of data on the web.
Clean up the user profile on the client to reduce the size of the Home folder as much as possible or the data transfer is loooooooonnnnng - i also connect the iMac on a cable rather than wifi to speed it up.
Read Joe's post http://joeferrante.net/how-to-migrate-local-user-account-to-network-user-account -with-networked-home-folder-on-snow-leopard-server/ and follow along.useful info I learnt somewhere - to get the paths to the folders correct in the terminal window go to the folder in Finder and then drag it to the terminal window and let go - this will put the correct link in the instruction.
You now need to be on a terminal window on your server, with a finder window open and logged into the client as the user you are moving
THE CLIENT COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE LOGGED OUT or logged in as a different user than the one you're trying to move.
so when you're at the right point - type sudo cp -R then hit the space bar, drag the existing user folder onto the finder window, add the /* and hit space then find the users folder on the server and drag that onto the terminal window to complete the instruction.
Hit enter and wait a while assuming it starts ok - i used network traffic on the Activity Monitor utility to check if it was working.
If you got this far and it all worked - login to the profle you moved on any computer linked to the server or the server but not the original client computer to see if it worked and all your setting and data are intact and then delete the profile off the original client if it was ok [archiving the home directory took ages for me].
As you can probably guess most of this was good learning for me and it worked successfully for me in the end, moving all my history, saved password, etc, etc without any problems.
Hope this helps other in the same situation & feel free to expand or correct this if I've missed anything.
Ed

Hi,
I was unable to access the Joe Ferrante information (it appears to now requrie a password and was not able to determine how a username and password were assigned) Would you happen to have a copy of the post that you refer to above?
I am still at the early stages of this process but am hoping that the steps you refer to are going to get me where I want to be. Your stated end goal is where I hope to get to.
Thanks,
Sean

How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

Hello,
We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
Thanks

You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
For your review...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

How to set Up FTP on win8?

How to set Up FTP on win8?
I tried step by step from the below link and then when I was done I tried to test it. But I cannot open FTP site . So what am I missing?

How to setup real SFTP in Yosemite?

There's lots and lots of information online about how to setup remote access to my mac using SSH and SFTP in Yosemite...but apparently none of it is actually useful for genuinely remote access...access from outside my network, access from miles away. Because here is what I have learned:
The ip address listed in the Sharing pane when you access remote login is internal. it's some version of 192.168.x.x, which is essentially everybody's computer and utterly useless from outside the network.
So my actual public ip as assigned by my service provider is really my IP if you are trying to get to my computer from outside.
But that IP doesn't "just work" via SSH or, much more importantly for me, SFTP. Evidently that involves something called "port forwarding" which one used to be able to do via Airport Utility, but is no longer possible because such options do not exist in the current version of the utility.
(What I want to achieve is for a friend of mine, a friend on a mac about 4 miles away, to be able to directly access very large files on my computer. I don't want to use clouds or public sites or anything like that, I just want to be my own private little FTP server just for her. That used to be no big deal.)
So... is there a solution for this?

Dropbox may be a better option if you can both have accounts with enough storage, it is a simple setup process that can be forgotten about.
Bittorrent sync is another option that mirrors data between several endpoints. You should get better performance if the files are not being transferred over the network (Dropbox & Bittorrent sync create copies at each end).
ssh & port forwarding allows you to use sftp, if you do some more setup you can also use sshfuse to mount the remote content as a network disk, it's a plugin for http://osxfuse.github.io
Just be aware that many scripts & botnets are constantly attempting to login on visible ssh ports on routers across the internet. Enabling ssh to outside access means that any user on you Mac can be a potential login - have good passwords set on ALL user accounts, and do not enable the root account password. There are also options to disable passwords in ssh (& use ssh keys only) if you want better security.
ssh is good, but it is not trivial to setup and it won't open ports for you. Apps like bittorrent sync can use UPnP to request port forwarding rules, to make setup easier.
Back to My Mac is OK, provided you are willing to hand over the keys to your Apple ID.
P.S. You keep mentioning ftp, please avoid ftp. ftp can use plain text passwords that can be sniffed over the network, avoid opening the network to inbound ftp traffic too.

How to setup the WRT350N to use a USB NTFS Drive for backup storage?

My network consists of a WRT350N Router/AP/NAS (with a 500GB NTFS formatted USB drive), a Windows Vista Ultimate Desktop (wired connection), a Windows Pro SP2 Desktop (wired connection) and a Windows Pro SP2 Laptop (wireless connection).
Does anyone know what settings to use for the WRT350N and how to setup each of the computers to allow me to use the WRT350N for Backup file Storage?
For example: Can I/should I enable and use the ftp server functions? Can I just use the guest user account for all logins; etc.? Do I have to reformat the USB Drive to FAT32?
Any help would be appreciated!

Here is the clue to your question.
1.If you have formatted your Disk with the help of your computer it will be better if you reformat it with the "Erase" button
available on the Storage Tab of the Linksys
router's Setup page.
2.After that You need to make sure that you have
public IP address as your WAN IP on the status of the router to setup a FTP server.
3.You can use guest account for all your users but
please make sure that you select guest as group
while creating user.
