Need help setting up FTP server.

I have a networked video server that converts analog video from my security cameras to mpeg, it has an internal FTP client that I have pointed to a share on my server, with the correct login info. This will all occur on my intranet and if possible I do not want FTP open to the internet. I can not connect to the server via FTP. Any advice would be appreciated.

John, this is all very vague.
What is your FTP software? or if inbuilt to the OS, which OS is it?  Mac, Windows, other?
When you say you can't connect to the FTP box, is this using your "Video server" (What OS is it)?
Have you tried using another machine to connect to your server?
More info please...

  • I'm new to Solaris 10 and need help to setup ftp server

    hello!
    I just installed Solaris 10 and I'm trying to setup an ftp server (with ftpd) but I don't know how to do that
    my server doesn't need any security or authentication
    I'm looking for the default shared files directory
    Also wondering what to change in what configuration file...
    This OS looks quite similar to some linux I used before but the differencies are big enough to drive me crazy
    anyway thanks for your help.
    Any advice is welcome :-)

    cd /etc/ftpd
    vi ftpusers
    put a # in front of root and any other users that you wish to be able to ftp
    then svcadm restart ftp

  • Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

    I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
    I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
    The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Need help setting up web server with WRT54GS

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up a web server with my linksys router. For the network settings, I have used 192.168.001.150 as my primary IP (192.168.1.150, all 3 numerical characters have to be filled in), 255.255.255.000 as my primary netmask and 192.168.001.001 (192.168.1.1) as my gateway. I have gone into my router and then enabled port fowarding for port 80 to 192.168.1.150 but I still cannot access my web server. What could be the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to set up this server so I can test scripts and things.

  • Need Help Setting Up Testing Server

    Hi. I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but am
    extremely new at the whole testing server thing, as I have been
    building only simple pure-html pages.
    I am want to password protect a part of my site using the
    Insert > Data Objects > User Authentication > Log In User.
    I have already converted my whole site from .html pages to
    .php pages, because I thought that .html pages wouldn't work.
    Everytime I try to use that Log In User menu command,
    Dreamweaver gives me a dialog box that says, "Before inserting this
    object, please do the following: 1. Create a site for this file 2.
    Choose a document type 3. Set up the site's testing server".
    Numbers 1 and 2 have a checkbox which I am assuming means they are
    done correctly. But number 3 (set up teh site's testing server) has
    no checkbox and the dialog box will not allow me to click OK, which
    leads me to assume that I need to accomplish the aforementioned
    step number 3.
    So I go to the Site Definition for my site and under the
    Advanced Tab go to Testing Server. I want PHP MySQL as the server
    model, so I chose that. And I am guessing I need to choose
    Local/Network for the Access option because
    the computer I am building this site on is not connected to the
    internet. (I have no intention of hooking this machine up to
    the internet becauase all of my work I have ever done is on it!)
    Now, here lies my main question: What should the Testing
    server folder be? And what should the URL prefix be? And do I need
    to change anything else?
    If I am not being clear about anything regarding my
    questions, please make a point of it, and I will try to be more
    clear.
    Thank you so much for helping!

    I see that this is a *real* domain, with a real registration.
    It's best to
    just use 'example.com' for dummy domain names.

    Ditto. And by the way, there was no hyphen when you first

  • Need help setting up Lion Server

    Here's my story... I got a 2006 Xserve for free. It has 2 dual core 2.66 Xeons, 4 GB of RAM, and 2 300 GB SAS drives that I have turned into a RAID 1 array. I've installed OS X Lion Server on it and all is running okay. My OS X Server knowledge is slim to none. I do a little work with it at my job, but our main servers are Windows. I'd like to set it up as a DHCP and Open Directory server at home, just for fun. My home network consists of this Xserve, my 27" iMac, a MacBook Pro, an Xbox, a Samsung TV, a couple of iPads and our iPhones.
    I go from my Charter modem, to my AirPort Extreme, and then broadcast wirelessly to my other devices, and have my Xserve plugged into port 1.
    To get DHCP working, do I need to go from my modem to my Xserve, and then from my Xserve to the WAN port on my AirPort Extreme? Or do I just need to configure something?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    If you have just Lion Server installed, go here for the rest of the tools:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1528
    This will include Server Admin.  It will allow you to define DHCP, DNS, and other services not available in Lion's Server.app. 
    You networking knowledge will apply here.  It sounds like you want to use the Xserve as the NAT gateway.  This is possible, but you will need Server Admin to make it easier.

  • Need help setting up xrdp server on my Arch

    Hey,
    I want to set up an XRDP/VNC server on my personal computer which is running the latest Arch linux (X64).
    I wanted to use xrdp as I am going to connect to my computer from a windows based OS (work).
    I want to be able to do so using microsoft's RDP program (mstsc) as I am unable to install any software I like, it's a laptop from work.
    So far I have downloaded and installed XRDP from AUR and installed the tightvnc as it was a dependency.
    Right now I am kind of clueless about what to do/config/etc..
    Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks !

    From one newb to another, I can give the process I took to get it running.  First and foremost, uninstall xrdp from the AUR, I could not get it to work no matter what I tried
    Next you will need to make sure xvnc is working properly, this can be done by:
    Xvnc :1
    More then likely you will get several font errors, as Xvnc is looking for its fonts in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory, and Arch deposits that in the /usr/share/fonts directory.  So to fix this we do:
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
    now try the Xvnc command above, it should work properly this time (might be a font error or two but the server is running).
    So now that we have Xvnc running properly, lets go to sourceforge and gank the latest xrdp tar ball...  http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/
    I used the standard install (generic linux install) with "tar zxvf" then "make" and then "make install"
    If you are using KDE, you should be all set, if another WM, then search through the forums (Ubuntu had several hits on xrdp and are Gnome specific) as I would more then likely steer you in the wrong direction.
    Next we need to remove the lock on Xvnc :0 so it can restart (or you can restart your system if it makes you feel better), its in the /tmp/ as .X10-lock
    then run the following command to startup xrdp:
    /usr/local/xrdp/xrdp_control.sh start
    I hope this helps, if not completely, at least in the proper direction.  As I mentioned, there is a lot of info in the Ubuntu forums on xrdp, some of it is helpful, other is meh

  • Need help setting up ftp/home network

    I am hoping someone can help me here.
    I have an emac, imac dv se, and 2 powerbooks. They are all connected to the internet via airport cards. I want to allow all of these devices to access a firewire drive that is connected to the emac AND make those files accessible to me and my wife over the internet. what is the easiest way to do this and what additional hardware/software do I need?
    thanks in advance for the assistance!
    emac 1 Ghz SD 768   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Turn on FTP in the sharing control panel. Use Connect to Server in the Finder with an FTP URL or use an FTP client or ftp in the terminal. With FTP you can do a:
    $ cd /Volumes/nameofthefirewiredrive
    then go from there.
    File Sharing on OS X only shares the "Public" directory in your home directory. You might be able to put a symlink inside Public to /Volumes/thedrivesname
    $ ln -s ~/Public/externaldrive /Volumes/externaldrive
    and try enabling Personal File Sharing and trying Connect to Server.
    If your wireless network uses DHCP, remember that the IP address of a given computer may change without warning if DHCP give it a different IP. You might have better luck using the Bonjour/Rendevous name of the computer to connect consistently.

  • Need help setting up Mac server for dental practice?

    My dentist is running windows server 2003 and wants to do a total upgrade to Apple server components. The issue is that the software his office uses for patient records is not Mac compatible. He is really set on the Mac environment and is curious if he can run the software on a Mac running Windows and I guess my question is the same. I don't have the specifics on the software he needs to run but from what he says it is fairly low overhead and handles some large jpeg files but mostly small data files.
    I am curios how difficult the task of migrating all the info into the Mac environment will be? He is also curious about remote access from home or wherever he needs to get to his info and am curious if a VPN or other method is best.
    Thanks

    Ok, I am a sucker. I will bite.
    The answer is yes. OS X and OS X Server can run Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels of VMWare (or virtual box, or Crossover, or... you get my point). This will allow you to run Mac hardware with Mac software but at the same time run Windows and the required applications.
    But, there is a cost penalty here. First, there is the cost of the hardware. Not a big deal, Apple is competitive in price and the server hardware is very nice. Then there is the cost of Windows and the VM software. This is your tax. You have to add these costs on top of what you are already buying and then there is the hidden cost of the additional support. You are now supporting two operating systems, OS X and Windows. And just because Window is running on a Mac does not make it immune to viruses/spyware/trojans/etc.
    If this guy really wants to go the Mac route, then go all Mac. Check out http://www.macpractice.com/mp/dds/ or http://www.macdentpro.com/index.php or do a search. There are a number of products that can handle dental practices on Macs, including the radiology aspect. Google is your friend.
    As for remote access, OS X Server has a VPN built in that works well. That is not a problem. Or you can get a dedicated VPN appliance to handle security. Once bit of advice. Make sure you implement a good backup solution. Don't be foolish and think that TIme Machine alone is going to save you. This is medical records. Do not mess with them. Spend the dollars to properly harden the environment and ensure record retention policies are met.
    Hope this helps

  • Need Help Setting Up Wide Area Bonjour

    The subject says it all.
    Please assume I am a newbie.
    I need step by step procedure.
    Do I need a registered domain?
    Is there a web page with simple instructions.
    I want to be able to share files with family across the web - so they can download full resolution photos etc. I want to host these locally as there are many photos and it is not practical to put them on a server.
    I have tried setting up ftp on my computer and cannot access it from outside my LAN - previous question on this has not come up with any answers.
    Please help

    I don't think there is an all encompassing single source or information for you to go to. There are too many variables and choices for any one solution.
    Unless you have a static IP number from your ISP, your IP address will change on occasion. Your guests won't be able to find your machine without knowing what your IP number is. I get around this by using the service at dyndns.com. The service is free and you can get a domain name that doesn't change. You run a program on your machine that updates the ip number for your server automatically (there are a couple of consumer level routers that provide for this kind of service and you don't have to run a program on your computer).
    You will need to have an FTP server program running. You can probably do it with the OS, but I never bothered to figure out how. I just use a program named Crushftp which is a standalone FTP server with a fairly simple setup and full controls over users and groups. Ben at CrushFTP has pretty good support and keeps his software up to date.
    In addition, you will need to setup port forwarding in your router. Almost every router used in the home environment has a NAT firewall that blocks incoming connections on most ports. FTP uses port 21 TCP and the service or port must be forwarded to the Lan IP number of the machine that's hosting the FTP server.
    There are several skills you will need to learn to make this all come together and work right. You will need to install a couple of programs, learn to setup your router, create user accounts and passwords on your FTP server, and then teach your users how to use an FTP client program like YummyFTP. The machine that runs the FTP server will need to be running 24/7 so that it can answer users when required.
    Or, just use a hosting service for this kind of activity, like .Mac - give them the $100 a year, unload your pictures, build a couple of web pages that are based on their fairly simple templates, and get on with using your Mac. Using a solution like this means you only have to learn how to use one service, and you don't have to dedicate a machine for the task. You will still have to read their help menu's and understand the system, but you don't have to setup, maintain, and backup the server.

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

    Teresa,
    I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
    I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

  • Need help setting up and configuring rsync

    Hello
    I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
    Here is what I would like to:
    - I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
    - The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
    - this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
    - hopefully this makes sense??
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    It's a lofty but unrealistic goal.  Rsync does not run automatically.  There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
    I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
    If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

Maybe you are looking for
