Need Info or a Solution for FTP Firewall

I have been able to create an Applesque anonymous FTP login situation for PCs and the only problem left is that the PCs can not connect unless they turn off Passive FTP.
For some reason ports 20-21 are being inappropriately blocked to proper FTP communication so that a session can not be properly initiated. Such as the remote client sending the request to the Server and the server initiating the connection. Or so I have been told that is the way it needs to be.
Right now I have the Apple firewall options turned off and all is fine. Anyone know anything of any of this?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Graham,
Thank you for your reply, but I have found that it is not a firewall issue on the PC end, but on the Mac end. If you turn off "Use Passive FTP" (on by default in Explorer) on the PC end all is well. But with it on it can't get through on the Mac. If I turn off the Mac Firewall, all is well.
I am trying to provide the same access to a PC that a Mac has when you use "Connect to Server" from the "Go" menu in the Finder and login as "Guest" (Anonymous on the PC) - access to the Public and DropBox folders. Now if you login as a user with a password you get right in no matter what and have access to the whole user. This I don't want.
This all started working, to a point, after I created an FTP user and group in the NetInfo Manager via these instructions: http://digitalelf.net/archives/000030.html
So . . . it's either feast or famine. Something on the Mac end is over working. If I could get the Mac end to operate as everyone else in the IT world, that would solve my problem. Thus, my quest.
Thanks again.

  • We need to implement EP Solution for Supplier Portal

    Hello All,
         I'm working on BSP's and Portal since 1 Year.
    The Portal Implementation is already done before I started working on it.
    Now my scenario is as folows :
    We need to implement EP Solution for Supplier Portal .
    For this we want to know what are all the activities involved.
    Can anyone throw some light on it ?

  • Need info on New Gl for a fresh implememtation

    Hello,
        Kindly give your inputs on the new gl functionality for a fresh implementation. Please provide some documentation or pros and cons of it.
    This is the senario, only one plant is being implemented for the time being, what is the possiblity of implementing the new gl at a later stage . If we activate the new gl can it be deactivated or if we activate can and not decide to use it and only uuse the regulat GL is that ok.
    kindly provide your inputs as it is urgent and have to give my suggestions soon to the client.
    points will be awarder generously.
    thanks.

    Ashwin,
    Here are my thoughts on the new GL.
    1) Parallel Accounting - This feature allows for much more seemless implementation of multiple GAAP accounting.  Previously you'd have to mess around with having accounts that are specific to different GAAPs, creating FI validations to ensure the entries balanced, and complicated reporting structures to make sure you had the proper reporting.  The only other solutions were special purpose ledgers which may have helped to separate transactions for reporting, but did nothing to simplify the chart of accounts issues.  If you are a multinational company, and will have different GAAPs, it is essential.
    2) Profit Center Integration - With the new GL, Profit Center Accounting is an integrated element of the reporting ledgers.  No need for a fully independent PCA implementation.
    3) Extended Coding Block - Better support for adding customer defined fields to the coding block and having full transaction processing and reporting support.  No need to implement the SPL unless you are doing some truly complicated manipulations to posted data such that you need user exits on flexible field movements.
    4) SAP Stated Direction - This is where SAP is going and they aren't looking back.  If this is a fresh implementation you should consider starting out in this manner instead of performing the transition at a later date.  There are different transaction codes for the New GL than from the old GL, different reporting tables for the RW/RP, etc.
    5) Document Splitting - If you need documents to split automatically for various attributes, e.g. profit centers, business areas, other custom defined fields, this is the only effective way to perform this.
    I can't answer to the going back/forth  between the two, e.g. classic versus new GL, but don't see why you would be absolutely in error with going new GL.  I'd have a different opinion, but unlikely, if you were already live on the classic GL and you were contemplating going through the conversion.
    I hope this was what you were looking for.  Some points would be nice if so, please.
    Regards,
    Kyle

    Very good! Kudos!
    Comments:
    in *Open Questions*, yes, you can use a TC as a shared drive in addition to TM backups. Because of the way TM will use up all the space it can before beginning to delete old backups, and since you can't partition a TC (bizarre, but true), a poster here suggested putting a Disk Image of sufficient size on it to be used for the sharing. Sounds workable to me.
    One caution: You may need to find some way to back-up that data. The Airport utility has a feature allowing you to "archive" the TC's disk to a USB disk plugged-in to the TC, but it's the whole disk -- you can't pick and choose.
    And yes, you can connect your Mac to a TC via Ethernet and do backups. We often recommend that for the initial backup (it will run 40% or more faster, depending on how good/bad the wireless connection is). Then incrementals can be done wirelessly to the same sparse bundle.
    That's also a good idea when doing a large or full-system restore.
    *Other options:*
    If you have multiple Macs and your TC is too small for all of them, you can attach a USB drive to the TC and back some of them up to it. (Why Apple doesn't "officially" support that on an AEBS, which many of us are doing anyway, I cannot figure out).
    A shared drive on a Leopard or Snow Leopard Mac on the same local network.
    And, of course, a Mac Leopard or Snow Leopard Server on the same local network.
    Good job!

  • I need a one-lens solution for my photo needs on high speed Corvette Races. Will 35-350L do?

    I need one lens to carry on my 1D during long road rallies with the Corvette Race club.  Would the 35-350L be a good canditate?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have a 1D ?     Or do you have a later 1 D seires camera?  
     I have used and still use a 1D.  It would not be my first choice, or 2nd, or 3rd, for motorsports shooting with whatever lens.
     At 4MP you are going to be really handicaped in any sort of enlargements.
    The 1D is a fantastic camera and at one time the best camera in the world with a, at the time, insane price of around 8 grand.
    If you do indeed have a 1D, I would search for a later 1 series and the best buy right now is a 1D Mk III.
    Than the addition of the EF 35-350mm f3.5-5.6, or better yet the EF 28-350mm f3.5-5.6 should work well.
    With a lot of practice as suggested above.

    * Sends a file to be stored on the FTP server.

    try {
    ip = tokenizer.nextToken() + "." + tokenizer.nextToken() + "." + tokenizer.nextToken() + "." + tokenizer.nextToken();
    port = Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken()) * 256 + Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken());

    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
    int bytesRead = 0;
    while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer)) != -1) {
    output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    output.flush();
    output.close();
    input.close();
    response = readLine();
    return response.startsWith("226 ");
    }

    Rather than fixing the code, may I ask why, when you are admittedly not good at Java I/O, you are trying to write an FTP client? Such things exist already and are free for your use.

  • Need to find a solution for my problem

    GadgeOrderTaker class - which is an interactive aplication that takes four customer orders. The class contains an array of the four Gadge objects offered listed below
    Item# Description Price in $
    101 Electric hand warmer $12.99
    124 Battery operated plant waterer $7.55
    256 Gerbil Trimmer $9.99
    512 Talking bookmark $6.89
    The application prompts each user for a name and street address and assigns a unique order number to each customer, starting with 101. The aplication asks each user to enter an item number and quantity wanted. When the user enters 999 for the item number, the order is complete, and the next customer can enter data. Each customer can order up to four item numbers. When a customers order is complete (the customer has entered 999 for an item number, or has ordered four different items), calculate the shipping and handling charges. After all four customer have placed Orders, display each Order's data, including the order number, the name and address of the customer, and the list of items ordered, including the item number, description, and the price of each order, the total price for the order, and the shipping and handling charge. The GadgetOrderTaker class handles all thrown Exceptions by displaying an explanatory message and ending the application.

    Wahh Wahh stfu I never asked anyone to my work for
    me. All i asked for is help. If you read your first post and honestly consider it to be a reasonable request for help, rather than a lazy twat whining to have his work done for him, then you need even more help in basic communication than you do in computer science.
    Apparently the people
    that fill this board are just too good to help or put
    anyone in the right direction to help.And yet, thousands of people get lots of very good help here. So is it just random whim, or do the people who get help do something different than knobgobblers like you?

  • Need photo cataloging/management solution for small business

    Hi,
    I'm about to be tasked with setting up a way to manage thousands of high res images coming in from various photo shoots for our upcoming projects. We are a Mac-based office, and have an Xserve as our local file/web server which we will install something on.
    - Ideally it'd be something hosted locally from the Xserve so that it's easily updated via the file server. Easiest would be an app that helps import batches of new images, or has a folder where we can drop new batches directly. Online web services are not ideal as we'd like to house all the data locally.
    - Could be software-based, ie if there's a package that has a server app we can install on the Xserve and run client apps on local machines to access, OR could be web-based, ie image gallery software I install on the Xserve, which we could access in or out of the office (external access would be most helpful). Web based may be the way to go.
    - Main thing is that it's easy to browse and search thumbnails, view larger preview on screen, then download full size image when ready
    - Ideally individual users would be all be able to tag/organize content
    - Super extra bonus points if users can create their own lightbox/favorites to select images for a particular project, and save their settings etc.
    - Simple, clean, easy to use interface would be excellent. We don't need something that does 1000 things, just the above things really well.
    Thanks for any and all suggestions!

    There used to be a good program that did just that: iView MediaPro (worked on a Mac). But Microsoft bought them in 2006, changed the name and upgraded the product, and I'm not sure if you can find a version that will do just that anymore.
    They call it Microsoft Expression Media and they have several different flavor of it.
    Here is a link to the iView MediaPro website that will refer you to the Microsoft site for Expression Media http://www.iview-multimedia.com/
    Not sure if that will help you.

  • Need Info Regarding Unix Scripts for DBA's

    Maybe it is about time you leave your ideal world, and take a reality check.
    You don't take into account, I would say all over the globe, with the likely exception of the University of Washington, companies unwilling to upgrade to a supported version of Oracle. Then there are companies who can't upgrade to a supported version of Oracle, as the third party sw doesn't support a supported version of Oracle.
    Then there are companies who are unwilling to pay for OEM and/or database control.
    My company can't afford to use OEM to manage all our customers.
    Daniel, I think I know your answers. They are, and always have been highly unrealistic. You need to leave your paradise, and stop making people frustrated, because they have to stick with the (you so often use that word) paleolithic version of Oracle that has been presented to them.
    They simply have no choice.
    In the Netherlands 50 percent of the customers use 10g, 25 percent 8i and 25 percent 9i. You can climb your hobbyhorse every day, many of them won't upgrade, simply because management doesn't want to upgrade, as it doesn't buy them anything, apart from support, which is considered unimportant, as the application 'works'.
    Apart from that, your assertion scripts aren't portable across platform is not necessarily true when you start using Perl (comes with Oracle).
    There are many tasks for which shell scripts are still mandatory.
    In fact Rman is one of them. As Rman doesn't support variables, you can't use OEM to set up a script which uses a proper tag in the backup command.
    You need scripting to reset an alert.
    You need scripting to rotate the log file of a listener.
    Etc, etc, etc.

  • Need a reliable backup solution for mixed pc and mac home network - existing WD MyCloud isn't working?

    Hope you guys can help me.  I'm currently trying to use a new WD MyCloud NAS device attached to my ASUS Wireless router to back up 2 Windows laptops, and an iMac and a Macbook Pro.  Unfortunately, the TimeMachine backups seem flaky and inconsistent to the NAS - so I am worried and need to switch to something else. 
    What is my simplest option without replacing the exiting NAS and Wireless Network and Router - can I attach a Timecapusle to the existing router and just use it with wireless off to do mac backups?  How do I set that up if it is advised?
    If I replace the wireless router with a Timecapsule, will the PC 8.1 backups work automatically - how do I set those up?    Can I simply attach the WD NAS off the Timecapsule then and still use the NAS for PC backups as is?  Any other ideas?
    Thanks for the help -

    Ok.. much more complicated.
    There is several things that add to the background of the story.
    1. That you are trying to backup a USB drive drive already.. I strongly recommend CCC to do this.. as you cannot setup a separate task in TM to separate the backups. I can understand not wanting to add another USB and it is older iMac so usb2 only.
    2. Your Express do add complexity.. yes they work better if using the TC..
    Will replacing the ASUS with a TC improve my music streaming through the AE's given that it will all be apple then?
    More than likely although hard to say.
    Is the wireless range of the TC as good as the ASU in your opinion?
    No, i have both and the Asus is very good.. but with the Express you can do more than you are doing.
    What model Express and what model Asus we need to know to give a straight answer??
    3. I assume that if I simply replace the ASUS with a TC and use same SSID and PW it should be an easy swap since we have many mobile and networked devices in the house?
    I strongly recommend you start over with new names..
    Problems in wireless networks are common.. and part of the problem is trying to make one wireless router pretend to be another .. you don't fool the clients that rely on MAC address, BSSID not SSID. And you don't fool the main router.. which now is lost as to the clients expecting one MAC address and getting another.
    It doesn't take that long.. use a slightly different name but the same password is fine.. I have several wireless routers.. all use the same password but different SSID.

  • Need info on the approach for building admin forms for authoring

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to store the content in the content repository. I have two levels of data to be stored i.e. continents & countries; both continents & countries have their individual properties; continent contains countries node. I need to build a mechanism to store the content at a particular location in the JCR. The content authors should be able to add, edit or delete the continents & countries.
    What's the best way to build this admin form? Should the custom node types be created? Should a custom action type to be built? To support dynamism on UI i.e. add, edit & delete in a single form - how can it be done efficiently?
    If someone can provide me pointers, I will start with my build. Let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks,
    Chetanya

    Justin,
    The approach you listed sounds easy to implement.
    However I want to understand why out of all we choose cq:Page and why not nt:unstructured or sling:orderedFolder? Can sorting be enabled in this case?
    Also I have various scenarios where I need to store different form of data. Another example is storing product information in a alphebetical manner. There are lot of products to be stored and needs to be displayed in a tab format. The tab looks something like this A-E, F-L, M-S, T-Z, which should be configurable. Do you recommend creating one page per alphebet e:g A, B, C... and add all products (component) starting with A under page A, and so on? Or is there a better way to implement?
    Can something like calendar event be used here where in year, month and day node gets created first and then the event node is added. If so, in the above scenario how can the nodes A, B, C... be autocreated when products are added? Also the products need to be always sorted.
    Thanks,
    Chetanya
