IMac FTP Set Up

I'd like to set up my iMac as an FTP.
I have tested the function but it seems I can access my entire folders remotely.
How do I set it up so as only to access the Public or Drop Box folders?
(so others can then drop files onto my 'FTP')
Running Yosemite OSX
thanks

OK Problem solved!!
At the DSL end
1 tech support with ISP reset modem to Disable NAT/NATP. If I understood correctly the modem is now just a plug in the wall interface and controls nothing.
They assigned me a static IP ( altho I never needed it withte cable modem at home)
2 tech support with netgear I cant remember what we did now But it didnt work.
3 to night after trolling though the modem and Router innards I discovered that the internal IP address had changed from 192.168.1.4 to 192.168.1.5.
AHA that must be it
Also "allowed remote access" from my home Mac.
Got home . Got into the modem via remote access.. Still couldnt FTP
Thinks !!! Hang on Ive disabled the modem from any control maybe I am driect into the router. Use iMac ID and password instead of ISP ID and passwoI had tried that before and Im in..
Who knows .. It might have worked before if the internal IP addy was correct. Maybe the other changes had something to do with it.
If I feel like wasting an hour or two Ill go back to point zero and start all over
Thanks for looking in and offering suggestions guys..

  • Issue in Flat File load through FTP set up

    Hi All,

    i don't get you.
    You are trying to FTP a file to your application server in your process chain; is that correct?

  • Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

    Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
    Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
    So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
    ê Ê Ë ë è È
    Ô ô Ö ö
    à À Û û
    I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
    Thanks...
    I appreciate your thoughts, as always...

  • FTP set-up to new PC

    I am to get a new PC and I wonder if I could migrate all the
    FTP set-ups that I have on old PC with Dreamweaver MX 2002 (I have
    about 20 FTP set-ups). My help desk support said that they are to
    reinstall DW using CDs meaning that I would have to re-set the FTPs
    all over. Would appreciate to see if I could retain the FTP setup
    from old PC to new PC. Thanks much in advance.

  • Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Using the Mac with your iPad has nothing to do with the fact that the iPad is running slow. There could be any number of reasons why the iPad is now running slow.
    Have you tried a reset on the iPad?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT1343 How do you delete mistakes you put on a new imac when setting it up ?

    How do you delete mistakes you put on a new imac when setting it up ?

    pretty vague question.
    But i'l assume you went through setup assistant and made errors.
    Ignore, proceed, then go back and fix them in the appropriate control panel or application.  Requires a bit more knowledge fo the system or searching around.
    Make life easier and tell us context, error, etc.

  • FTP set up. iMac to iMac

    BAckground.
    I want to be able to shuffle files back and forth between home and my office. Previously I have been able to do this between mac and PC (across the globe to other ftp sites too) .
    This was done by using Bulletproof FTP as the "host" software for incoming requests and a variety of MAc clients for my outgoing requests without problem.
    It did take alittle bit of fiddling to make it work but I succceeded.
    With the iMacs, things are proving to be more difficult.
    I was under the impression that using the same kind of technique , a mac would "see" a mac. but not so!.
    First step.
    Do I NEED some other "host" software like Bulletproof FTP ( for mac) plus a couple of clients. (I have these FTPeel and Fetch )
    Second step .If so What HOST software is recommended ?

    OK Problem solved!!

  • I changed my imac hd setting to no access and then i restarted it. Now, im stuck on a white screen, what do i do? I can't even enter my password.

    I was playing around with my imac (because im an idiot), and i clicked on computer. I decided to change my macintosh hd setting the last one (can't remeber if it was everyone or something else) to no access (it was on read only). After i did that i couldn't click anything, i tried to change it back but it wouldn't open the computer page for my so i couldn't click on the macintoch hd. I pressed the start button on the back until it shut off. I waited for 10 seconds and then i started it up again. It opened on the grey page with the apple logo and then it went to the white screen i waited for the page to change so i could enter in my password but it never came up. It's just stuck on the white page. I'm freaking out right now, i don't think i have my files backed up, but right now i could careless as long as my mac works. It's the iMac 21 inch screen and OS X Lion but i've done software update. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • How do I set access to the same network share on a Windows server for multiple users on an iMac (school set-up) in Lion 10.7.3?

    We've got them authenticating/binding with AD (after hours of troubleshooting to get working), and their Home drive on the Windows 2003 server loads in the dock, but they also want to be able to load the same network shares on the server e.g. "Students$" for every student that logs onto the iMac.  I realise without Lion server we can't control it by group, but if we could at least set it up consistently for the students that would be a great start.
    Thanks.

    When you install you get the opportunity to install it for "All Users".
    It sounds like you have a demo version on your Mac however, you need to delete it:

  • Colour Calibration for 24" iMac and setting up an ICC profile

    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend a way for calibrating the display of a 24" iMac (not too expensive)? I will mainly be using Photoshop, Aperture and web browsing (I do not need for business, but like to have the best set up possible).
    Also, on a similar note, can anyone suggest a cost effective way of getting an ICC profile for use with Photoshop (CS2) and Aperture for an HP Photosmart 3210 please?
    Thanks

    Hi Kevin
    As your based in the UK feel free to contact me with regards to obtaining display profiles for your 24" iMac, and possibly output profiles for your printer.
    We are hoping to add a 24" iMac (or should that be BigMac to our studio as a training machine and backup to our other Macs in the very near future. As soon as we get our machine it will only be a day or so before I get it profile and I would be quite willing to email you a copy of our screen profile free of charge for you to test, this should get you pretty good results.
    As part of our business we carry out colour management training and that obviously includes creating colour profiles. We use a Gretag i1 Pro to calibrate and profile our screens to a very high level so I think it may be worth you giving me a call soon. Feel free to call me on 01773 717446 or email me at [email protected]

  • Proper connection between av receiver and iMac (network setting)

    What would be the proper network setting, to connect an av receiver (connected to cable router/modem)? Tech support peeps at Harman Kardon say I need to share my "Music Library", for the home network feature to work and allow me to stream music from my iMac (running OS X 10.9.2).

    Does your Harman Kardon support airplay?  Does it have wifi?  You're gonna need to give more info unless someone here happens to have your exact setup.  How does your mac connect to the internet?

  • IMac RE set up

    I have an iMac G5 running 10.4.11. It is connected to a wireless network (that Comcast set up) thru a Netgear router. I also have a PC laptop running Vista wirelessly connected to the router. I have read that Vista is not compatible to RE and have tried everything from the installation CD to connecting it right to the PC to no avail. So, I am trying through the Mac. The Mac is the device that I need the range expanded on anyways. I have read many threads and tried everything that I can think of to make it work on the Mac. I tried plugging it into the router directly, and did get blue lights, but when I unplugged it and plugged it in elsewhere, I got a red light again. Right now I have it plugged into the Mac and manually set IP to 192.168.0.240, SM 255.255.255.0, Router 192.168.0.1. My wireless settings for the router are IP 192.168.0.11, SM 255.255.255.0, router 192.168.0.1. To add to my confusion is that I do not really know anything about networking and my neighbor has a linksys router that still has factory settings (apparently) and my system keeps locating. I have also tried going on-line to 192.168.0.240 or 192.168.1.240 and cannot connect on either computer. Can anyone help me? I have wasted countless hours on this. Should I just return it and get a larger antenna?

    Thank you very much for your instructions. You have gotten me farther along. I plugged the RE into the Mac and on Network settings manually set Ethernet connection IP to 192.168.1.50, SM 255.255.255.0, Router 192.168.1.240. I was then able to access the RE setup using http://192.168.1.240. In that window, I changed the settings to match my Mac's wireless settings. My wireless settings for the router are IP 192.168.0.11, SM 255.255.255.0, router 192.168.0.1. I also changed the SSID to match my wireless name. When I went to set WEP security it gave me an option for 4 different Keys and a passphrase. I'm not sure what that means. I skipped the passphrase (because it said it only worked with Netgear equipment) and manually entered the same key code (that I use to connect through the USB wireless adapter) in all 4 key slots (because it told me I couldn't leave any blank). It said it was automatically saving the settings in that window. When it got back to the main window, all of the things that I filled in were back to their default. (Should I have re-entered everything and saved again in that window too?) I then went to my network utility and it found the RE. I set the WEP there as well. My wireless utility found it, but the RE did not seem connected to the router. Clearly I didn't do something right because it still isn't working. My last attempt ended in complete loss of signal the Mac not seeing the USB wireless adapter. Now I got the Mac to see the wireless adapter but I feel like I know just enough to really screw everything up. p.s. I am using a Realtek USB adapter.

  • Permissions and FTP set up

    I am trying to set up a new Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server. To be honest, given I have managed several other Linux boxes, both dedicated and VPS, I am a bit surprised how badly my first adventure with 10.6.1 is going
    I have a whole range of issues but right now my biggest challenge is that I can't seem to edit any config files (httpd.conf, php.ini etc) using an editor (Coda) that is locally installed. I am logged into the Mac as admin, there is only 1 account - the same admin account that allows me to do everything else but when I try to save a file that I have edited, I get a permissions error. If I look at the file properties (Option-i), I can see I own the files are they are CHMODed to 644. I have tried restarting services - Apache, MySQL etc but to no avail. I just don't get how, when I am the only user and an admin, why I can't edit these files - I must be missing something fundamental...
    I am seriously considering trashing the Snow Leopard Server install and replacing it with XAMPP but then I lose the whole point of buying an integrated server.
    Can anyone suggest what might be going on with permissions and why, as admin, I can't edit my own files?
    As a sidenote, I am also having trouble with SLS's handling of vhosts. I am used to setting these up manually and it works just fine but somehow using the Apple interface, it's just not happening. I set up the folders and vhost name but can never seem to browse to the folder using another mac on the network - only the default SLS page. I don't expect anyone to explain this in detail here but if you could point me to a decent resource or some proper documentation for 10.6 rather than previous versions, I would appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Mac OS X Server is divided into two parts; the Apple UI layer and tools, and the Apple directories, and the underlying Unix layer. Once you're active in the lower layers, you're expected to be familiar with Unix server configurations and management. And you're expected to manage the configuration files and other such either in conjunction with the GUI tools and in a compatible fashion, or (depending on the changes you're making) taking over from the GUI tools and managing the environment entirely manually.
    The configuration files are typically managed via the GUI and Server Admin and related tools for a baseline configuration.
    If you're editing files, you can end up derailing the GUI management tools; proceed here with caution. You can end up reinstalling.
    To edit the low-level configuration files, the usual is with something akin to this:
    +sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf+
    or related. sudo means you'll have to enter an administrative password. vim and emacs are also available. httpd.conf is one of the many files that is typically managed with Server Admin.
    I don't know off-hand if Coda can edit and can save edited text as plain-text files; the configuration files have to be plain-text, and not RTF or otherwise. (nano, vim and emacs can.)
    As mentioned; you may need to reinstall here, if you're off editing configuration files manually. Making the choice to edit files manually is fine, but that can mean you won't be using Server Admin.
    Your first requirement here with getting Mac OS X Server going is to get DNS configured and working. This is one of the first steps, and failure to have functional DNS means the rest of the stack can be unstable or uncooperative.
    Some items for your reading list: [DNS Notes|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] and [Apache virtual hosting notes|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1329], and definitely the [Apple Mac OS X Server manuals|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html]. You're active at the Unix layer, which means you'll want to be familiar with the Command Line manual, as a start.
    I have an article on [configuring and activating ftp|http://core/node/942]; that's easily possible. In general, sftp is easier to deal with, and more secure.
