Mount disk as folder to share on ftp ??

Hi,
I have OSX 10.3.9 server installed and running FTP perfectly...
I want to mount an external disk as a folder in /users/myuser/mydisk
so it can be accessed from my ftp
Do anyone knows how to do that ?thx

It seems not to be a problem of permissions...
It is really the link that is not working... the link appears to me as a "stange-file" over FTP.
It works on local but not over FTP...

thanks again

  • Problem writing external file to externally mounted disk in Windows

    Folks,
    I've got a puzzling problem with a simple OWB mapping where I'm dumping the contents of a table to an external file.
    Versions are OWB v 11.2.0.2 64-bits on Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.2 Windows 2007 64-bits Enterprise Server.
    When the external files module is hooked up to a location that points to a local disk and directory on the OWB-server, everything works fine - files are created and written.
    When the external files module is hooked up to a location that points to a mounted disk on another Windows 2007 64-bits Enterprise Server, I get +"Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly".+
    The "File System Location Path" in OWB is set to "N:" (no slashes either way). "Test Connection" reports OK.
    I've given both the Oracle os-user and "Everyone" (for good measure) all rights on the mounted disk, and I can see that the generated package code is using the correct Directory, and the Directory Path is the correct one on the server. The mounted disk (N:) should appear as a local disk to Oracle as far as I can see. I'm able to create and delete files on the disk using command line on the OWB/DB-server.
    I'm scratching my head on this one....

    then mapped that share as a network drive (N:) on server A (the OWB/DB-server)I think that problem was with different accounts used for run Oracle database (usually database instance run under SYSTEM account) and which you used to map share (it was interactive session). Even when you made this map persistent (enable "Reconnect at logon" option during mapping) you don't grant access to this drive to other accounts (including SYSTEM ) - this drive will not be visible to other users.
    I think it is possible to create "persistent" network drive mapping for Oracle database context with specification non-SYSTEM account (domain or server local) for running Oracle database instance (and Oracle Listener service).
    Also it seems there is a workaround to access mapped network drive under SYSTEM account:

  • If I put my I tunes library in my external hard disk can I still share it with all the accounts of my Mac?

    If I put my I tunes library in my external hard disk can I still share it with all the accounts of my Mac?

    Hello there, Gnorra.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to share your music in iTunes with multiple users on the same computer:
    iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
    If you're using Mac OS X, follow these steps:
    Quit iTunes.
    Go to your iTunes Media folder. By default, it's in ~/Music/iTunes. (This folder may be named iTunes Music if you created your iTunes library in iTunes 9 or earlier.) 
    Note: "~" represents your Home folder. Other users on your computer can't access these locations.
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. For example, you could move it to the Public folder in your Home folder (~/Public) or to a location outside your Home folder that other users can access (/Users/Shared).
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Click Advanced.
    Click the Change button.
    In the window that opens, go to your iTunes Media folder.
    Click Choose or Open.
    Repeat these steps for each user that you want to share music with. If multiple users on your computer are storing music in the same public folder, duplicate song files may appear if a user imports music from a CD that another user already imported.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Does Time Machine still ignore mounted disk images? Specifically, encrypted sparse bundle disk images?

    My Time Machine backs up to Time Capsule which cannot be encrypted. I also have confidential data in an encrypted sparse bundle disk image in my home folder. When TM backs up and the encrypted sparse bundle disk image is mounted and I'm accessing the data, does TM back up the data "in the clear" decrypted form or does it exclude the disk image because it's mounted? I've done a little research, but there's conflicting information. Not sure what happens in Lion now...

    Time Machine does not backup mounted disk images! The encrypted sparse bundle disk image was mounted, I updated a doc and did a TM backup - the file was not listed in the TM repository and the doc remained unchanged in the encrypted sparse bundle disk image on TM. Then I ejected the disk image and did a TM backup - the updated doc was backed up in the encrypted sparse bundle disk image! Thank you!

  • Mounting a local folder

    Using OS X 10.6.4, can I mount a local folder? Here's what I want to do. I have piece of software that I'm trying to install on my MacBook Pro. The software requires additional files. I have those files on in a folder on the MBP. The software prompts me to insert the cd with the files into the drive. The software will not allow me to browse to the local folder. The contents are 6.5 Gb. I'd rather not bother with having to burn all those files onto discs.
    So can is there a way I can just tell the OS to mount the folder so that (hopefully) the software reads it as a CD and will read the files from there?
    thnx in advance,
    --Joe

    You might try creating a .dmg disk image file from the folder:
    Disk Utility>File menu>New>Disk Image from folder
    Double-clicking the .dmg file would then mount it as a volume.
    It would probably take a while to create a 6.5GB disk image, but it would be faster than burning to optical media.

  • General Installation/ Mounted disk images

    I am a Mac virgin, having only had my new iMac for 2 weeks. I have recently downloaded/installed some apps (google earth for instance) and notice that if I eject the mounted disk image that the app will no longer run. I can not "hide" the mounted disk in the HD either. It just sits there on my desktop.
    Is there no way to rid my desktop of all this clutter? If anything, is there anyway to hide the icons on my desktop like you could on...<ughhh> XP <ughhh>?
    Thanks for your help.

    What you need to do is quit Google Earth, open the Applications folder (with Finder in front, click the "Go" menu then "Applications") and drag the application into the Applications folder. After it copies, eject the installer diskimage and you can delete it.
    Some installers run a program that installs the app and its support files, and others (like Google Earth) just open the diskimage package and show you the application icon, which makes it all to easy to just doubleclick to run. Since diskimages cannot be ejected while files are open, things get messy real fast.
    It's a common problem with even experienced Mac users that they continue to run several apps from the diskimage or from their desktop. Hopefully the Leopard version will have this problem fixed.

  • Not opening window of mounted disk image

    I have created disk images of my CDs with Disk Utility and have them mounted on startup by having them in my Login Items. But each .dmg after mounting opens the Finder window for that mounted disk. I do not want the window opened. Only the disk image mounted. What did I do wrong? Thanks.

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
    tell application "Finder"
    delay 1--time in seconds
    close every window
    end tell
    To close a specified number of windows:
    tell application "Finder"
    delay 1--time in seconds
    repeat 1
    close window 1
    end repeat
    end tell
    In either case, save the script as an application and add it to the list of login items for your account. The delay in the second line of the script may need to be increased.

  • How to make mounted disk image appear in sidebar

    Hi all,
    Previously, I had inadvertently dragged the icon for a mounted disk image off the sidebar. It made the cool "poof" thing. I then checked if it was really unmounted using disk image. It was not, so I unmounted it there.
    Subsequently, when I would mount that disk image, the icon would not appear in the sidebar. If you run into this problem, you can fix it thus:
    1) Go to the Go --> Go to Folder menu item in the Finder.
    2) Enter /Volumes
    3) Drag the icon of the mounted disk image to the disk part of the sidebar
    You will need to aim properly to get access to the sidebar without activating one of the disk icons.
    4) All better
    This started out as a question, but I fixed it and thought someone else could use the info.

    Nicely done Scott, thanks!

  • Mounting folders within a network share ...  please help!

    Hi,
    I am trying to mount a folder that is one level deep in the share using the following item within an applescript:
    Mount Volume “SMB://server/share/folder”
    The share is located on a windows server and I am trying to mount to the users folder within that share. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? when i use the above command the volume gets mapped at the share instead of the folder. i have tried this with the latest 10.3 and 10.4 versions with no luck.
    thanks

  • Auto opening a mounted disk image

    Is it possible to make a (read/write) disk image once it has been mounted to
    automatically open up and show the folder contents?
    I can get this to work if I lock the image, but this makes it a pain to trash.

    jsd2 wrote:
    Try the following:
    Mount the disk image so that there is a disk icon on the Desktop, and then launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).  Copy-paste the following line into the Terminal window, and then type a single space. Do not type <Return> yet:
    sudo mdutil -i on
    After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk image icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and then type <Return>.  Enter your admin password at the prompt (it will not echo on the screen),  and again type <Return>.
    Hopefully that will enable Spotlght indexing on the mounted image. It might take some time to complete depending on the contents.
    The result for this for me, three times, was "Indexing disabled."

  • Time machine can't mount disk ,hard drive,after its been formatted for windows

    i want to use time machine but it can't mount disk as it has been used with windows

    You will need to repartition and reformat the drive for use with OS X:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Error Message: Disk Cache folder doesn't exist

    I know this has already been asked, but I am aware that I HAVE deleted the disk cache folder by accident, and it is no longer in the recycle bin. Is there anywhere i can go to restore the Disk Cache folder, or redownload it? How does it affect me to work without it? Thanks

    Just create a new folder and point to it in the preferences. It's as easy as that.
    You could also delete your preferences, re-launch, and everything should be restored.

  • What's Happening?? Some days after installing latest security up date for 10.5.8 on G4, both inernal CD/DVD drives failed to mount disks other than a cleaning disk which mounted and was imported into iTunes.No other CD or DVD disk will mount.

    Hello Robert,
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Mac wont mount disk images, and fails to auto detect some usb devices.

    for some reason, all of a sudden, my mac won't mount disks. even disks I know in the past have worked.
    also, it wont auto detect some external devices. especially jump drives and hard drives and audio interfaces. It has to be rebooted with the the devices connected.
    I know its not a hardware problem, because everything runs smooth in windows on this computer.
    I did some extensive cleaning recently, and installed a lot of new stuff, but i don't know what could be causing this.
    any help would be greatly apreciated!

    This USB faq may help.
    An SMC reset may help you mount disks.

  • Preview app damage pictures on mounted disk

    I recently upgraded the system to Mavericks and preview app starts to get weird. I have a bunch of pictures (in .tif, jpeg, etc types) on mounted disks and I used to open with preview and it worked perfect. But recently, when I open up a picture file with preview for the first time, it seems ok. But for the second time and onwards, it says the file "is damaged and should be move to trash". I tried thousands of times for all types of pictures, but it's always like that, first time good and second time damaged. However, if I open the same picture with iPhoto in the first time, no matter how many times I tried, it's always working well, no damage was found, so I guess it's the preview app that damages the picture file. Also, this weird thing didn't happen when I open any local pictures. Preview is still always good with the local ones. I didn't come across that before, and didn't find a solution on any websites. Can someone help me here please? Bunch of thx!

    That's a good idea, but actually I just fixed the problem last night by turning on the Gatekeeper in Security to allow apps or files from anywhere can be open on my macbook, then the error went away! Sorry for not marking this question as solved on time, but do appreciate your attention!
