Mac with Finder's FTP...what's the deal?

I've seen that Finder is unable to do anything except read only in the FTP world. Does anyone know of a hack or some commands that can be put into terminal to fix this? I know I can just use an ftp client, but the integrated link into the Finder makes it much easier to work with remote documents like local drives (rather than having to continuously update and re-backup documents, and I have been able to do this with local network connections). Supposedly this is due to security reasons? Anyways, if anyone could put their linux/unix/mac knowledge in, I would greatly appreciate it.

As anyone (no ?) knows, Finder has a poor FTP implementation.
If you absolutely think using the Fnder is better, take a look at MacFuse and ftp module (full article here)

  • Arial Black is the specified font for headers on my website; however, FF4 doesn't render out Arial Black whereas FF3.6 rendered it out perfectly along with other browsers. What's the deal?

    I just upgraded to FF4 and was surprised to see that Arial Black wasn't rendering. My css validates and have never had an issue rendering our Arial Black on any browser - as of now FF4 is the only browser that doesn't support Arial Black. Chrome, Safari, IE9, and Opera all display my fonts as I specified in the css. Being a web designer I seek uniformity across all browsers.

    Found the answer [http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/971376-firefox-displays-my-site-incorrectly-other-browsers-fine/page__p__593634608#entry593634608 here] . Changing the CSS to this should do the trick:
    font-weight: 900;
    font-family: "Arial Black", Arial, sans-serif;

  • I downloaded Premiere with no trouble, but can't find a setup or install file. What's the deal?

    I purchased a one year membership a few months ago, and installed Lightroom and Photoshop without any troubles.  I now need Premiere for my new classes, so I downloaded it with no trouble.  However, I can't find an install or setup file.  What's the deal?  I've paid for software that I can't install, and I need it for class which started about a week ago.  Help!

    That would be awesome, if the nearest service area wasn't 4 hours away.... It would cost me just as much in gas to drive down there as it would just to buy a cheap replacement off of ebay...

  • I lock my mac with find my iphone feature! now i forgot the 4 digits code

    hi
    I lock my mac with find my iphone feature! now i forgot the 4 digits code and i can't access to the computer.
    the fact is that someone stole my Mac about 1 and a half years ago! so the day after i realise my mac wasn't in the my house i immediately blocked by find my iphone with the hope to find but i didn't get nothing, then after 1 year i received a message telling my that my Mac was successfully blocked and my mac used to call "Kevin Gr. MacBook air" and the message i got from apple said that "Dou MacBook air" was successfully blocked. that time i realised who was the one who stole my Mac a "friend" :/ he was the only one that i know that uses that nickname for everything! well i didn't did much because i wasn't that sure that he stole it! but one day in a party in his house well not a party but all friends hanging out, they decided to go to the disco so i said that i was very tired and i managed to stay at his home, so when they left the house i decided to search for my thing, and after 30 min of searching i finally found all the things they stole :/ and my mac was there!   so I immediately took all my thing and left the house! i called him telling him that i found all my things and ill took them home! he was stunned for a moment and then he said sorry for everything, but all that things he was going to buy! but he knew it was our stolen stuffs and blah blah blah
    well now i wanted to open my computer and its locked with the 4 digits code that i put a year ago and i don't remember, there is a way to unlock it? or i just need to reinstall the OS!

  • What's the deal with Quicktime?

    What's the deal with Quicktime? In the past, there was just plain Quicktime. Then it was separated into two different versions: Standard and Pro. I bought the Pro version for my eMac. Then, when I moved to my 24" iMac, Quicktime was made into just one version again, and the features were rolled into it. Now that I have my 27" iMac running Lion, I find that a bunch of the menu items are greyed out and have the word "Pro" next to them. Also, I'm finding that it can't open many standard files, such as .MOV files that run fine on my older Mac, because "a required codec is not available." What's going on?

    There are two versions of QuickTime Player available for Snow Leopard and Lion systems. The QuickTime Player X included with those versions of Mac OS X have some of the features previously only available with a Pro key to unlock QuickTime Player 7.
    QuickTime Player 7 is an optional installation on SL and Lion, and apparently you installed it or it carried over across an update. If you wish the Pro features activated, you need to enter in your Pro key just as you did previously (you will need a key for QuickTime 7; an older key will not work). Then the Pro features will be available again, though support for some old codecs is no longer available. For more information, see:

  • What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

    Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
    I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

  • What is the deal with Firefox? I keep installing the new update, it restarts, and then it tells me I need to install the same update?

    This is happening on my Mac, my husband's Mac at work, and his Apple laptop. What is the deal?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 37.0.2: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.

  • What is the deal with the Zen Aurvana headphones?

    Can anyone explain this to me? (Please note that I am a review addict, and look at reviews before buying anything so I don't make a regretful choice. One of the things that sealed my decision on the Zen was the 8.3 from CNET.)
    I've been deciding to upgrade from the Zen's EP-480 set for a few weeks now, and it's a tossup between the Aurvana and the EP-630.
    Problem is, everywhere seems to report that the Aurvana is very average. Looking at customer reviews on retail sites and media critics, they all barely rate the Aurvana above average. Looking in the same sources at the EP-630, it has a close to perfect score from various ones.
    Now, here's what blows my mind. I stumble upon Creative's European site, and the reception for the Aurvana is better than the EP-630 set. Other countries seem to love the Aurvana more than the EP-630, while the US does not. See for yourself:

    http://hu.europe.creative.com/produc...702&nav=awards
    What's the deal here? I need help with my decision from fellow Creative fans. Has anyone owned both?

    I use it quite a bit for zooming in and out (by dragging up and down) but you have to be careful you don't move left or right when doing this as it then becomes a bit unpredictable as you say...
    If you just want to use the playhead for dragging left and right (and if you can't find a pref to turn it off) you'll just have to be careful to drag only in the horizontal axis and not up or down..

  • What's the deal with Lazy Class Loading?

    My understanding was that if class B is used in class A, (i.e. imported and used in local code), but class A does NOT
    - extend class B
    - implement class B
    - have a field of class B's type or
    - use class B in any of its methods signatures
    then class B would not be loaded unless the localised code that uses it was executed.
    However, I am of course finding that this is not the case.
    So what's the deal?
    Why are my classes being loaded when there's no code that uses them?

    Okay, prepare for some gory details...
    My actual code is slightly more complicated than A & B, but the context of the error is the same.
    Here is what's happening:
    The main method, in class A is creating an instance of A;
    The constructor of A creates an instance of B;
    The constructor of B calls a static method in C;
    The static method in C creates an instance of C.
    C contains an instance method M that creates an instance of inner class C.C1, however method M is NOT called from C's constructor, nor will it EVER be called in the (test) application.
    Class C.C1 implements interface D.D1.
    Neither of classes D or D.D1 are in the classpath (intentionally).
    A NoClassDefFoundError is thrown, indicating that D.D1 could not be loaded, with the top method on the stack trace being (from memory) B.<init> (i.e. no mention of C, the only class that refers to D or D.D1).
    My assumption was that C.C1 should never be loaded, because it is never used, or that, if it was loaded eagerly, no exception should be thrown until a point at which it is used.
    Seeing as the inner classes and the inheritance can complicate things above, I commented out the code that uses C.C1 and D.D1, which results in the following sequence of events (which still fail):
    The main method, in class A is creating an instance of A;
    The constructor of A creates an instance of B;
    The constructor of B calls a static method in C;
    The static method in C creates an instance of C.
    Difference is here:
    C contains an instance method M that creates an instance of class D, however method M is NOT called from C's constructor, nor will it EVER be called in the (test) application.
    Class D does not appear in any method signatures or as a field type.
    Class D is not in the classpath (intentionally).
    A NoClassDefFoundError is thrown, indicating that D could not be loaded, with the top method on the stack trace being B.<init> (i.e. no mention of C, the only class that refers to D).
    Again, my assumption is that D should never be loaded, because the only method that uses it is never called.
    Why is the JVM attempting to load D and telling me that it can't find it when the application never actually uses D?
    Crazy stuff!

  • Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
    External drives if you need more space.
    However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
    Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
    Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
    Rack your brain here on it.

  • I am getting my third battery and charger! What's the deal with poor quality?

    My macbook is a late 2009 model.  It's always been running great, but I have some key issues that are making me question ever buying a mac again... For starters, I am purchasing my third battery and charger since owning this computer.  I am not very happy with the quality of these devices...  The battery is buldged out, and looks like it's ready to explode any day! The power supply is frayed, and exposing bare wires!  What is the deal with such poor quality products? I always thought Apple was top notch in high quality, but lately, I've been proven wrong...
    Power cord:
    Battery:
    Seems to me that these issues REALLY need to be addressed by Apple.  The reviews on the power supplies are ridiculous!  Numorous complaints, yet Apple has YET to do anything about it!  So my question is, what is Apple going to do about these issues?  These need to be addressed, and fixed, ASAP!  I owned a Dell laptop for 6 years, and never had an issue with the batteries I had, OR the power supply, and it cost me half the price of this macbook.

    That would be awesome, if the nearest service area wasn't 4 hours away.... It would cost me just as much in gas to drive down there as it would just to buy a cheap replacement off of ebay...
