HT200069 Does OS X (Mavericks) any FTP client?

Does OS X Mavericks any FTP client or I have to download one?

OS X Mavericks hasn't got any FTP client.
In this case, you have to download one. I use FileZilla and it works great

Does the Built-in Windows FTP Client Support a Secure Connection?

I have set up Server 2008 IIS w/ FTP. I set the SSL setting to require a secure connection. However, I can't connect to the FTP server from the built-in Windows FTP client. I CAN get it to work in FileZilla after modifying my connection properties.
Does the built-in Windows FTP client support secure connections? I received a request to set this up so our internal employees can share files with external customers. Many times our customers are unable to install any kind of third party software on their
computers.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
Based on my known, the built-in FTP client does not support secure connections.

Looking for a specific feature in an FTP Client

Hello!
I am looking for a "simple" feature in any FTP client for OS X.
I have tried Fetch, Transmit, CyberDuck and Interarchy 7.x and none had the ability to throttle uploads/downloads. I work with a limited bandwidth and sometimes have to download files (or upload) in the background but at a very slow speed (because the peer has a poor connection).
None of these nice (and they are nice!) ftp programs can do this. I have to either use wget via the command line (wget --limit-rate=xx) or use Total Commander for Windows inside a Parallels Virtual Machine.
Does anybody know about a Mac FTP client that can throttle and enqueue items easily?
Thanks in advance!

Look at "lftp". It as about a zillion parameters that can be set. One of them is "net:limit-total-rate"
Quoted from the Docs....
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to avoid this.
Find lftp here lftp.yar.ru It is also in thr Fink archive. http://fink.sourceforge.net/

FTP Client Setup Problems

I cannot get access to my web server on my new Mac. I have finally gotten back to working on a Mac, after having to use Windows for work for a long time, but I cannot get ANY ftp client to access a server that I have been accessing for two years. I am truly baffled. I have been using CuteFTP to make passive mode connections, but on my Mac, no luck. I get connection, authentication, PASV mode start, then the whole thing seems to time out while LIST is happening. This occurs with the firewall on or off.
I am working on a Mac Book Pro, on an Ethernet network that has DSL and a Linksys router. I truly seek enlightenment.
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.13 gHz, 2 gig RAM

Also, I just tested using -A, and no go.
Hmmmm. Okay. Try logging in with the comand line client, and add the "-d" to the two different ftp commands:
<pre class="command">ftp -A -d ftp.servername.com</pre>for active mode or
<pre class="command">ftp -d ftp.servername.com</pre>Adding the "-d" makes it a little more verbose than normal. Perhaps there'll be a clue in there.
If that doesn't give you any clues, one more thing to try is to toggle the use of PORT/LPRT commands. Once you're connected to the remote server, and before you list the directory, issue this command at the ftp prompt:
<pre class="command">sendport</pre>If I do this on the ftp server I'm connecting to, I get this result (I started ftp with -d):
<pre class="command">ftp> sendport
Use of PORT/LPRT cmds off.
ftp> ls
---> LIST
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed</pre>which is not exactly the same as your error, but kind of close.
Finally, since it's a laptop, have you tried connecting to the server from another network, like at work or a friend's house? Also, can you log into another ftp server? Perhaps there's a problem on the server end at your web server. It seems unlikely, but it's possible. You could try ftp.apple.com. You can log in with the username "anonymous" and giving an email address as the password. There's not much there any more, but it might be a good way to test.
Finally, are there any messages in the console or system log when you try to log in? You can see them using the Console application from your Utilities folder. Also, if you click on the "Logs" icon in the Console app, you'll toggle a listing of logs and directories. Look under the /var/log listing for the ipfw.log and see if anything gets logged in there when you're trying to connect to your server.

AUTH TLS ftp client?

I've made my pure-ftpd work properly (with a virtual user database and ssl/tls), but I haven't been able to find any proper ftp client for the unix platform
the most important thing is AUTH TLS support!
a gtk2 interface would be nice, but it's not mandatory...
any tips?

I'm not using any ftp client with tls currently but let me search...
First this is a list and comparision of ftp clients with support for tls auth for all systems:
http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pf … tml#client
These look promising:
Kermit http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html
Ftp-tls (from Openbsd) http://www.runestig.com/osp.html
Kasablanca (with gui but for kde) http://kasablanca.berlios.de/features.html
Bsdftpd has cli ftps client http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/
Secureftp (Java gui) http://www.glub.com/products/secureftp/
Lftp (it should automatically recognize tls) http://lftp.yar.ru/
Iglooftp (nice gtk2 gui, commercial? closed source?) http://www.iglooftp.com/unix/download.html
Kftpgrabber (gui, kde) http://kftpgrabber.sourceforge.net/features.php
Pftp + gui clients (ncurses, gtk, qt ?) http://pftp.sourceforge.net/index.html
Tls wrapper (allows any ftp client to use tls) http://tlswrap.sunsite.dk/
BTW it's also good to read pure-ftpd readme first :-)
http://www.pureftpd.org/README.TLS (there is tested clients list)...
Maybe there are more. List of ftp clients for linux:
http://www.usinglinux.org/ftp/
http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_list.php?id_kategory=9
Maybe some of them support tls too.

Can't connect to FTP through FINDER (other ftp clients work)

I try to connect to my schools ftp icarus.engr.uconn.edu through finder's, Go -> Connect to Server
but every time I try it tells me you have entered an invalid password or username. The thing is that I can connect to the ftp through any FTP client like filezilla or Cyberduck even the Terminal ftp program will connect, but not Finder. Finder tells me the password or username is invalid. ??

Is it not prompting you? You can imbed your username or even your username + password in the URL.
e.g.
ftp://username@server
or
ftp://username:password@server
There should be no issue connecting. BUT... the imbedded FTP in Finder only allows for downloads. You can't upload.
You can upload via the command line FTP client, and of course a slew of 3rd party FTP clients (some of which you've already mentioned.)

Creative Cloud AS a FTP client

My business has a MAC server. We access it remotely via the internet as a FTP. I want use creative cloud as a ftp client, so that the interface allows for the previewing of ai and PDF files similar to BRIDGE. Unless anyone out there knows of an FTP client with a very SLICK gui that can do this job... How would I set up creative cloud to access my FTP?

Hi Benjamin,
Creative Cloud doesn't support FTP sadly, so you'd have to figure out a workflow using a browser to get the previews. I'm not aware of any FTP clients that would be able to generate these kinds of previews either.

FTP Clients on E72: can't get any to work

Hello again.
So, I've been trying to get FTP Client functionality on my Nokia E72. I guess I'm just doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out.
I tried:
* SIC! FTP (native Symbian App)
* PaderSyncFTP (Java)
* MobyExplorer (Java)
None of the applications work on my E72. They do work however (with the same SIM card) on my Nokia 6120 classic.
The applications seemingly try to connect on the E72, however it never actually initiates a packet data connection at all. As if there wouldn't be an application trying to access the Internet.. I also tried to set up WLAN as my primary access point. Works for everything else, but not for those FTP clients.
I tried several FTP servers on different ports (21, 666, 667). All work on 6120 classic, none work on E72. Also tried to switch from passive to active mode to no avail.
Funny thing is: When I use my PuTTY SSH Client on E72 to just probe an FTP servers port, that works! I can see the connection attempt in my FTP Servers logfile, and I can see the Server responding in PuTTY!! But with the actual FTP clients i never even get out into the network, wether I try to use WLAN or 3.5G..
I'm lost. Everything else works. SSH2 using PuTTY works, Skype works, webbrowsing works.
What could be prohibiting all those FTP clients from initiating a connection?! For MobyExplorer I even tried all of its four "connection modes" that they have for "buggy firmwares". Doesn't make a difference at all.
Also: Those apps never ask for an Access Point on the E72, even if the AP is configured to do so.
I have no idea what to do... Any advice would be appreciated! Maybe it's just some strange configuration issue..
Thanks.

Anyone recommend a FTP client that is suited to OS10.9 (Mavericks) please

I am wondering if anyone is able to assist please. It has been a while since I've updated my website (using iWeb) with the last time being prior to the update from Mountain Lion to OS 10.9 Mavericks. Without going into the whole background, I had use "Cute FTP" to assist me but since the update to Mavericks, it has become unusable - it has vanish into the depths of the hardrive in consequence. CuteFTP have not done any updates either so has render the software useless unfortunately. In consequence, could anyone recommend a (free) FTP client which is compatible with OS 10.9 (Mavericks).
Some people have suggested "Filezilla" but the latest version seems to only go as far as OS10.8 (Mountain Lion) and therefore reluctant to down load it. Again, would appreciate any assistance and guidance in the circusmtances. Thank You.

There are several that are good. YummyLite is very inexpensive from the App Store. I use Transmit. Cyberduck is a good client and is free.
All three show the FTP server in a Finder like window letting you see what's there and going on.

5 days ago I bought a 13" mac book air from an apple store. It does NOT have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it but since it has the old operating system-.I kind of feel like I purchased a "clearance" item but payed full price! any advice?

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.

There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

Why does Mail in Mavericks not auto capitalize text any longer?

Previous versions of mail would automatically capitalize first words of sentences and the word "I" and it no longer does.
Was there any good reason for not continuing this feature?
Is there a setting to regain this feature?

THanks Barnie-15E
You are a life saver or a mind saver at least. I did as you suggested and confirmed that I could not add "i" with a space and have it correct to a capital I. But what you did do is allow me to check the old computer and it was an option on that one.
Here is a screen shot of the place to put the check mark and have any lower case i by itself to be a capital I.
THank you thank you. (Look at the bottom line of the table under "TEXTS". )
In the new version of the IOS they did not give the selection ability but free text to allow you more versatility and I have used that for many things, but in doing that they did not include the ability to use a space which took away the ability to capitalize the word "I".
Maybe they will consider that in the future. If you know anyone who could suggest that please forward this to them.

How to get the FTP clients to work?

This is something that (to me at least) should be trivial but I just can't
get it to work at all.
How do you get an FTP client to work?
I've tried several GUI clients as well as the terminal FTP command and they
all seem to get stuck entering passive mode - according to the log entries
they send the command.... And then nothing or a timeout, the following is
from the terminal FTP command:
Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
Trying 17.254.16.11...
Connected to ftp.apple.com.
220 17.254.16.11 FTP server ready
Name (ftp.apple.com:susan): anonymous
331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
Password:
230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
501 EPSV: Operation not permitted
227 Entering Passive Mode (17,254,16,11,223,157).
200 PORT command successful
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
ftp>
In my System Preferences -> Network panel in the Proxies tab, I have the
"use Passive FTP mode (PASV) checked.
I also have checked the FTP firewall option (but I think that is only if I'm
acting as an FTP server).
I am connected to the internet via a Netgear wireless router.
I also have an old Windows laptop that also uses the same wireless router
and it can FTP quite happily!!!!!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Susan

ejn - thanks for your continued assistance.
I've tried turning the firewall off but this does not appear to make any difference(*). Also, I have Parallels installed and I'm sharing the internet connection with this (even though Parallels itself is not currently running). Turning this sharing off doesn't seem to change anything either.
I have noticed some entries in the ifpw.log file that coincide with some of the ftp actions. Given the following terminal session:
Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
Trying 17.254.16.10...
Connected to ftp.apple.com.
220 17.254.16.10 FTP server ready
Name (ftp.apple.com:susan): anonymous
331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
Password:
230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.

ftp> ls

227 Entering Passive Mode (17,254,16,10,245,46).
200 PORT command successful
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
ftp>
at the time the "200 PORT command successful" is displayed, the ifpw log starts showing:
Sep 5 09:11:21 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1

Sep 5 09:11:27 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1
Sep 5 09:11:30 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1
Sep 5 09:11:33 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1
Sep 5 09:11:36 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1
Sep 5 09:11:42 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1
which makes sense as the system tries to go for an active transfer.
(*) Actually, while I've been writing this, I've been playing on the terminal as well. I've found the combination of:
1) turning off the firewall
2) starting ftp
3) issuing the 'passive' command to turn off passive mode
4) issuing 'ls' etc. works
Looks like I've not been waiting long enough for the ftp client to get sick of trying the passive transfer and switching to an active one with the firewakk turned off!
Still doesn't answer the question - why does passive mode not work?

Connect to FTP site with Apache commons net FTP client through Proxy

String ftpUserName = "myUserName";
String ftpPassword = "myPassword";
FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.setConnector(new SOCKS4Connector("10.148.0.131", 1080));
try {
System.out.println("connecting");
ftpClient.connect(ftpHostName, ftpPort);
System.out.println("connected");

finally {

ftpClient.disconnect(true);
catch (Exception e) {

So I know the proxy settings are correct.
The java version I used to compile and run my apps is 1.6.0_06 Does anyone can help figure out what is wrong when I use the Apache commons net FTP client?
Thank you

Is the old AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)
configured so that the option to distribute IP
addresses is DISABLED? If so, configure the new AEBS
to act as a bridge.
Are you suggesting I use a set-up with TWO AEBSs? Set up a bridge (not sure how) and then use the old AEBS to connect to the DSL modem and broadcast to the new Extreme which will then be the router to the other computers on the network?
Do you have any port mapping or default host enabled
on the old AEBS?
I do not understand, not do I see these options in the Base Station utitlity; perhaps they are in the FTP options--but that, I'm sorry to say, is not obvious to my inspection.
Duane, can you give me a few more basic instructions? Thanks

Coding a FTP-client with a special feature

Hi!
I have a project in school where we are supposed to pick our own project that we code in java, and it has to be involved around networking. So I thought to myself that I should try to code a basic ftp client. This I don't see as a problem since there are a nice API for this, but there is however a glitch that I'm currently researching.
The special feature in my client is segment downloading. Enabling this feature will let loose 3-4 threads that will connect with the original login/pass and split the desired file in 3-4 parts so they all can download it at the same time. Does anyone got hints how I can accomplish this little task of splitting a file?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
//Frank

Thanks for trying to help me with this. I just found a little info that might be useful that seems to proove that it's not a server-side matter: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/MyDownloader.aspx
A little down on that page you can find this:
"Downloads can be segmented because both HTTP and FTP protocols allow the client to specify the start position of the stream. First, MyDownloader performs a request to the server to discover the file size. After that, MyDownloader calculates the segment size as follows:
segment size = min( (file size / number of segments),
minimum allowed segment size )
With the segment size, MyDownloader creates another request specifying the start position of the stream. In this way, we can have multi-requests for the same files running in parallel using multi-threading techniques. This technique speeds up the transfer rate even more if you are using mirrors."
Gotta read up to see if there is a way to apply this thinking in java.
