Lost website and ftp access in Leopard

After one of the recent security updates, I lost access to my website and I no longer have ftp access to my computer. I have a mac mini in my office that I host a company website on (with a static IP address). I also access my office files using the Fetch FTP program. I can no longer access either one. I can ping the computer over the internet and get no packet loss. Nothing hads changed on the router. I can access other computers in the office, only having a problem with the mac mini.

Your problem doesn't look like a technical one. It's more a problem of practices in your organizations.
Michals suggestion with the identity-firewall is a very good choice if you still want to keep complete control over the traffic that is allowed through your firewall. But your post sounds a little bit that you would like to delegate the work.
For that, an FTP-proxy in the DMZ could be a solution. This proxy is allowed to access the internet with FTP on your firewall. And you can delegate to administration of that proxy to the desktop-crew which are probably the admins that know best who needs FTP-access and who doesn't.
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

  • Mapping drives and FTP access

    Hello, I am looking at migrating our GroupWise server to OES Linux and have
    a few questions about drive mappings. I set up a test server and tried using
    EVMS to manage volumes to get NSS volume support but the server crashed
    within a few days with a "Segmentation fault". I could not figure out how to
    recover the OS so I reinstalled, this time without EVMS. Here's my
    questions:
    1. Can I use NSS without EVMS?
    2. If I stick with the standard Linux file system (reiserfs) how do I assign
    rights to my edirectory users and map folders?
    3. Is there an easy way to set up FTP login using an authentication method
    that I can give certain users or groups of users access to the htdocs folder
    for web publishing?
    I have not played much with user rights on OES so I am not sure what would
    be the correct or easiest path to take to accomplish what I am after.
    Thanks,
    Richard G.

  • Lost phones and monthly access charges

    I have just realized that for the past 12 months I have been paying monthly access fees for a phone reported lost and had service suspended. After reporting the phone lost while on vacation, my husband bought another phone and signed up for service, separate from the Family Share Plan the lost phone had been part of. Today, while at the office, going over monthly expenses with a new practice manager, we realized that there was a monthly charge for the suspended number. When I called to ask about a refund, I was told by a representative and a supervisor, that because I had not indicated I wanted the service suspended and NOT billed, the billing was my responsibility. I would not be able to receive a full refund. 
    While the dollar amount is less than $200.00, I found it odd that the responsibility was mine to indicate after 30 days, that I did NOT want to be billed for a lost phone.  So the lesson is, BUYER BEWARE, and just because you report your phone lost and have service suspended, you may not be entirely free of charges, even with a new phone and contract.

    I can certainly understand your frustration. When you sign up for service with VZW, you enter into a contract. Most likely 2 years. If you do not fulfill 24 months of that contract, then you will be charged an early termination fee. This is the same for any business. If you suspend WITHOUT BILLING, meaning months go by where you do not pay a monthly access charge, then your contract end date will extend. This is in order to fulfill the 24 months of that contract. You aren't obligated per that contract to pay more than 24 months. Your service continues after those 24 months (which are typically consecuative but in situations where there is a suspense without billing, there could be a gap) and after that contract you are able to cancel without any penalty or continue service month to month, or enter into a new contract.
    You can suspend indefinitely when you suspend WITH billing. There are time limits and restrictions for suspend WITHOUT billing. This is for your protection. Again, you would never get out of a contract if you could just suspend that line and not pay anything!!! In your situation, you should be thankful that you have been paying.
    Liken it to paying for a hotel. At 2:00 AM you cant go to the desk and say that you want to leave and not have to pay for the rest. You pay for the WHOLE night!! ...well most respectable hotels anyway...
    Service is great, but most people expect every company to bend their rules to suit self. Where is individual responsibility. You can't always tell a company what you want to happen. There are guidelines in place for a reason. Same reason I can't go to a restaurant and order a piece of rare chicken! If every customer got their own "utopian version" of customer service (i.e. selfish) it wouldn't be fair to me or the other customers!!!

  • WD My Book NAS drive, Cisco VPN router and FTP access

    Hello:
    I have a Western Digital My Book World Editon II NAS drive that is connected through a Cisco ASA 5500 VPN router.
    This NAS drive has a service to use it as an FTP server using port 21 as default or other specific port.
    I also have a XP PC in which I installed Filezilla where I am trying to access the NAS files.
    Only problem is that Filezilla apparently connects to the NAS drive but it lists the directory as empty.Changing to Active mode makes no difference.
    Does this sounds like a problem with the VPN configuration?
    Do I have to configure some kind of port forwarding on the VPN router for port 21?
    Or does the VPN router has nothing to do with this problem?
    Thanks for your help

    Would you "Solve" this question please ?

  • New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

    New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • 10.6.2 added and lost the ability to access external 500G HD

    I have 4 Mac computers and used with delight my Iomega 500G HD which I purchased at the apple store for 3 or 4 years ago. It was connected to my Mac’s. by my airport and could be accessed by my MacBookPro, MacMini and my MacBook air. I upgraded to 10.6 Leopard Snow when it came out and my Apple computers accessed the 500G HD well. Recently I lost the ability to access my 500G HD.
    I saw it on the computer desktop and when activated it said it was an allies and would not open. I did all the usual things trying to get help from Apple Techs and even took it and a computer to the Apple store. I was ready to discard the 500G HD since there was little help and Iomega seemed difficult to find an answer.
    In my other residence I have a PowerBook G4 with 10.5.8 system and much to my surprise the 500G HD is fully working. Now my further discussion of this problem with Apple was not helpful. They had not heard of another similar problem and did not direct the problem to them but to Iomega, as I suspected. I tried to illustrate how as new systems were presented they alone or with the device supplier drivers or solutions were forthcoming and my example was with numerous printers. This was rejected reasoning.
    My conclusion is there is no driver for the 500G with 10.6.2. It seemed to initially work especially since I upgraded to 10.6 as it was originally released. Up grading to the latest Apple upgrade to 10.26.2 must have created the problem.
    If there any help and it must come from Iomega some combined effort by both Apple and Iomega. Now my problem is to convince them to own up to the incompatibility that occurred.

    Is your storage too full?
    Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure your available space is absolutely no less than 10% of your device's total space.

  • I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    Great, first post, sorry for the title.  But to repeat it:
    I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
    If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
    All of this you can do with FTP

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

  • Lost airport network share and print access - security update?

    Roughly around the time I installed the last security update to my 10.3.9 iBook I lost Airport 802.11b access to printing services, afp and smb shares.
    I still have internet services (email and web).
    If I connect via fixed ethernet everything works.
    Any suggestions?

    I fixed this, but I can't remember the full details. Sorry! I just wanted to mention there was a fix. I think I somehow tricked the system into forgetting all prior access and I rejoined the network.

  • How do i set up an ipad to become a kiosk in my business for access to my website and e-club sign-up?

    i'm seeking information about how i may set up an ipad as a kiosk in my business for guests to access my website while visiting, as well as to be able to sign up to my e-club.  I need the ipad to be completely locked down to the public with access only to the website and e-club sign-up.  Any help?

    If your carrier offers tethering, you will see it in Settings -> General -> Network. If your carrier doesn't offer it, you won't.

  • Ftp and http access over XDB repository is not allowed...

    When I try to execute the following command on a reasonably fresh Oracle 11 installation:
    insert into "XMLTEST" ( "name", "xmlfof" ) values ( 'small', DBMS_XDB.GETCONTENTXMLTYPE('/public/small.xml') );
    -- The schema is correctly registered, the file "small.xml" is in the /public repository folder, the user has every conceivable role and priviledge
    -- http access works fine from a remote location, tried to execute the command on the server and from remote system...
    I get the following error message:
    ORA-31020: Der Vorgang ist nicht zulässig, Ursache: For security reasons, ftp and http access over XDB repository is not allowed on server side ORA-06512: in "XDB.DBMS_XDB", Zeile 1915
    Searching for an answer on the forum didn't produce any concreate explanation... Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

    As it turns out, the XML file contained a reference to a DTD at an external web-site, which caused the problem - it was identical to that described here:
    Re: ORA-31020 when using XML with external DTD or entities
    After removing the reference, everything works perfectly...

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

    Niel...
    I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
