Off-Topic: Unresponsive FTP server

What's the deal with Oracle's FTP Server? Everything used to be smooth, no matter what day or time. Now you get:
* User ftp access denied. Not logged in.
* If you ever do log in, and start GET, the transfer rate gets slower and slower 'til you get no response from the server, so you'll have to cancel and try logging in again and you go back to 'user ftp access denied'.
Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing this? I am downloading the last 40mb of 8iR2 for the last 4 nights.

i agree. i have been trying for days to download something from them, and have yet to be successful.

How to set Lion built-in FTP Server auto run off

Hello all.
I set FTP Server by using Rumpus Server application.
But Lion's built-in FTP Server is running on the front.
So if I try to connect my FTP Server out of my LAN, I can only connect to the built-in FTP Server despite I wanted to connect Rumpus FTP Server.
It can be solved by unload the built-in FTP Server(using sudo -s launchctl unload...) but every after rebooting I should set it because it is set to run automatically in every booting.
How can I set the auto run off?

well, the ftp server (=ftpd) takes account info from the user list for your mac. so, go to the system settings on your mac, then to users, and then just add another user with a password of your choice (tap on the little plus-sign to add a user!). this will then be a valid user for your ftp server after you restart your ftp server.
the other thing you want to do, about the home directory, is called chroot. you can set the home directory of a specific ftp-user to be another directory then the standard. for this, there are configuration directives in the configuration file in /private/etc/ftpd.conf which you have to edit by hand. so make sure what you do there.
you should read this before editing the file, this will give you a better understanding of what to put there: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/darwin/reference/manpages/ man8/tnftpd.8.html

CRIO - RT - FTP server becomes unresponsive

All,
Ive got an issue here that once i load my code (executable), and it starts up, the NI ftp server becomes unresponsive. All the software on the RealTime is the latest NI RT 2009 software. Im using about 55% CPU and 92% memory on the device.
Regards,
Ken

I would kind of expect that if the CPU usage was really high, but not at 55%. Have you narrowed it down to this specific piece of code? Have you built a simple do-nothing application and deployed it to your controller? And could you expand on "becomes unresponsive", does it work for a while then stop, or is it immediate?

How to automate a unilateral sync from Aperture to an FTP server?

+You can export multiple Projects at once:+
+1. Select the top-level *Blue Folder*, this will show all the images from all the Projects in it.+
+2. Select all the Versions.+
+3. Export, using the image export preset of your choice, and a folder-naming preset made up of 'Folder Name', '/' & 'Project Name'.+
+This will export the whole lot in one go, into a subfolder structure of 'name of *Blue Folder*'/'Name of Project'. Note that it will only take the name of the topmost *Blue Folder*, so it will only work for single-level *Blue Folder* structures.+
I want to take this one step further. My goal is to have a "mirror" of a given *Blue Folder* (with the projects and sub-folders represented as sub-directories as accomplished by the advice above) not just on my hard drive, but on a (private) FTP server. In essence, I want a significant percentage of my photo database mirrored on an FTP server. Note that this is not for backup purposes but for sharing the contents of my photo library (the portion of it that is appropriate to share--for example photos of family events, travels, etc.)
Currently my workflow is to click the *Blue Folder* that houses all of my family photos, select all versions, and export to a directory as advised above: Folder Name / Project Name. That takes a long time. Then I ftp the entire exported-directory tree to my FTP server. I try to do this cleverly by taking advantage of Yummy FTP's relatively new "sync" feature that compares my source directory tree with the destination directory tree, deletes files on the destination FTP server that aren't in the source file tree and uploads only the files in the source tree that aren't present in the destination tree (i.e. a unidirectional sync).
This works well enough, but it seems like a process that could be readily automated. Does anyone know of an Aperture plugin that can accomplish this workflow? Ubermind's plugin "UberUpload for Aperture" appears to come close, but it doesn't approximate the Project-Name/Folder-Name to directory tree conversion and it doesn't delete files on the destination FTP server, so it doesn't accomplish the unilateral sync I'm looking for.
Are there any other plug-ins I should look at; are there any other plug-ins you know of that might accomplish this task?
Thank you,
George
This is a new question but partially in response to a previous post (here --> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1586469) that was marked answered.

Hmm, that's a possibility, made a little more difficult by the fact that I don't know how to write Applescript. I understand that it's not too difficult to pick up, but that will add to the time required to figure this out (especially if there's no documentation for calls to Aperture--is there really no documentation?). The simplest way to do this with Applescript would probably be to run a script that exports my library of photographs into a file structure as described above, then runs the sync commands available through YummyFTP, and finally deletes the exported files off my hard drive. The major drawbacks to this approach include the long time required for export (and sync if there are a large number of changes) and the need to have a significant amount of free hard drive space (probably 10 gigs in my case) which could be potentially be a problem if one were running low on disk space.

Can I set up an FTP server from a networked Time Capsule?

I've been looking around and can't seem to find this specific question addressed anywhere, so I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this.
I have a Time Capsule connected directly to my router. Other than its intended purpose, I would like to connect an external USB hard drive to it, and use that as an accessible FTP server for a select few.
To my understanding, port forwarding the router and giving WAN access would allow any user to see the entirety of the Time Capsule - which I do not want. I only want to share this one drive and have it maintained by an FTP login/password. I would then share this drive on the internal network.
Is this possible? Or will I have to run the FTP server off one of my workstations?
Cheers.

Not in usable and reliable way no.. many things are possible.. if you have the (various bad words for foolishness or courage)... but it is too hard as there is no hacked firmware out there for a TC. It is a device intended for TM backups of laptops by wireless. Anything else is restricted strictly to what Apple want you to use it for. You can buy a cheap NAS, single disk unit will almost inevitably have FTP in them.. over network FTP is ok but remember it is not secure so you want SFTP for internet access.. And be warned.. FTP itself will be blocked from WAN on the TC.
There are severe FTP issues with the AE/TC.. the last couple of versions of the Gen1-5 firmware as well as the Gen 6.. See this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22948061#22948061
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22927625#22927625
The last post in this thread by.. SBeattie2
I think will condemn you to replacement of the TC by a router that actually conforms to standards if you are trying to forward it to a workstation or NAS even.
SFTP might work.. see this thread.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Os command for ftp server

I use file adapter receiver channel to transfer messages to external ftp servers. After a file is transported to the ftp server completely, I need to run a OS command to rename the file accordingly.
My question is where I should put the OS command file? On XI or ftp server? Any blog on this topic available?
Thanks!
Regards,
Hui

Hi,
Try using RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND AFTER MESSAGE PROCESING and RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESING.
You just post ur output file in some folder(Target) , lets say /usr/sap/sapout/test/.and the shell script in this path /usr/sap/bin/convert.sh (use ur Rename logic here).
Inside the File access parameters put target directory and filename scehme and for shell script give processing parameters as File construction mode , File type and OS Command and use a space after the shell script name and the %F.
And for input can use it directly.
For the shell script (which u will use to rename the file after processing) you can put anywhere inside /INTERFACE/XI/ but athe time you provide the pat it will be exactly matching as from where you are using the Shell Script and the file at the coressponding places. It shud be in XI. Thats it and u r done.

Enable logging for FTP server in 10.8

Can't figure out how to enable 10.6-style logging for FTP server in 10.8. It used to be configurable via Server Admin allowing you to choose what to log and so on and the logs would go to /Library/Logs. Now I only see some irrelevant stuff in /var/log/system.log and I want to have all the transfers logged on this server. Tried setting parameters via serveradmin ftp:setting = param but it wouldn't appear in the list afterwards no matter what (just copied those off a working 10.6 server).
As a bonus, I can't figure out where the settings for logging are stored in a 10.6 server either. There's certainly not a mention of a file named FTP.transfer.log. Weird!

So to help anyone who finds themselves in the same boat and wants to enable ftpd logging on OSX 10.8 proper:
All operations assume root which is obtained by issuing 'sudo su' or just prefixing every command with 'sudo'.
First you edit the ftpd's launchd plist file:
pico /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.a pple.ftpserver.plist
Find the section titled 'ProgramArguments'. Amend it so it looks like this:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>ftpd</string>
                <string>-ll</string>
                <string>-r</string>
                <string>-n</string>
                <string>-d</string>
                <string>-c</string>
                <string>/Library/Server/FTP/Config</string>
                <string>-L</string>
                <string>/var/log/ftpd.log</string>
        </array>
Second you edit /etc/asl.conf. This is necessary to make '-d' (debug) switch work since by default syslog won't log any debug-level messages at all.
pico /etc/asl.conf
At the end of the file add the following:
# ftpd verbose logging
? [= Facility ftp] [<= Level debug] file /var/log/ftpdv.log
Third important step is to reboot the server. ftpd's plist configuration is cached somewhere so restarting just the ftp server alone won't work.
Now what the added switches do:
-ll enables some logging (PUT and GET commands only despite what the man pages leads you to believe) to a file specified later by -L /path/to/file
-d enables debug mode which logs everything - including server's response. May be too verbose but at least you get a log of every single command issued to the server by your clients.

FTP Server in FXP mode : PASV / Illegal PORT Command

Hello,
In our workflow, we transfer the media files with the FTP protocol in mode FXP (server to server), the commands are initiated by an automation system.
This system work with the plateforms windows (serv-u), linux (vsftpd), osx (tnftpd) but it's impossible on a osx server (xftpd). The aim is to write file on our Xsan.
The error is an illegal PORT command, when the automation system sent the IP adress of the other server.
For test, If the IP adress of the destination server is the same that the automation server, the transfers are good, the PORT command is accepted.
But in our case, the ip adress, is a other server...
We can't to run the ftp server in FXP mode, and I do not want to install a Pureftp for to replace the tools included with osx server (and server admin).
I think that's is possible, because this workflow works on a osx after we have modify the ftpd.conf (checkportcmd off).
We not found in the file ftp access and nothing on the Internet, that's why I write on this board.
I need your help, anyone have a solution, it's really important ?
Thank you very much.
Franck

Hello Franck,
I'm attempting the same thing. Did you find a solution to your problem?

Help ReadyNAS NV+ as FTP server using Apple Time Capsule

I am setting this up for somebody else. I followed http://www.readynas.com/?p=1682 to configure the ReadyNAS RND4000 NV+ and then followed http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Designing_AirPort_Networks_10.5-Windows.pdf starting on page 54 to limited success. At times I could log into the FTP server and it would Auth, but then timeout. Swapped it out with my Netgear WNR2000 and configured it and it works great. What am I missing on the Apple Time Capsule that only took me 5min to do on the WNR2000? Called Apple Care and they said they could not help since they do not provide phone support for FTP. I have spent nearly 6hrs on this and all I know is that I had it working within 5min using my WNR2000, but they really want to use their Time Capsule and I just can not get it to work.

FTP is a lot trickier than it looks and unfortunately opening ports even in a fixed range as you are doing on the readynas, (following that post you referenced). Did you open 5000-5020 for FTP?
As an odd co-incidence.. the apple utility uses port 5009 to access the TC.. when you forwarded ports in the area of the Apple Utility you may well have wreaked something. Try using different port range above 10,000.
I can understand why the Apple people would not talk to you.. they have deliberately left out ftp as a method of access to the TC.. but I have a suspicion that something else even inside it might be running ftp.. in which case when you port forward you might be messing up the internals. Or the internals are messing with you. To say nothing of the access to the internal server which could be blocked from remote access.. even if you forward the port. Apple phone support workers will have no idea about this stuff.
My recommendation for a windows network.. use a router that has normal http access. Keep the TC in the network bridged. You can get Netgear router cheap.
My other comment is, ftp has no security other than password.. it is open to man in middle attacks because passwords are sent in the clear. It is not really a great method of remote access unless you have a walled off ftp store that you don't care if others access. If you want to buy another router, get something that does vpn and use vpn to access the network.
BTW Apple do break things like vpn, ftp, telnet in some versions of their firmware.. this is a well known issue and happens across all the apple routers.. since Apple does not use those ports themselves they don't seem to give any great deal of attention to bug catching.. if you run apple network with apple products you won't need it.
eg
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1435270?start=0&tstart=0
Do a google search for time capsule or airport (fundamentally the same thing).
I stick to my recommendation.. keep the TC as a bridged device... just buy another router.

          CCVS from Red Hat (http://www.redhat.com/products/ccvs/) has a Java api.
          We use CCVS but not the Java api so I can't comment on it.

I've done the "report abuse" routine on a number of them but that seems to have been ignored.

Again, the community moderators don't have permissions to do that.

Some files never getting transferred to our FTP Server

We are moving configuration changes from one instance to another using 'Manage Implementation Projects' functionality. This PeopleTools functionality creates DM scripts to transfer functionality like Billing, Contracts, etc to another instance when you click 'Export'
It is supposed to send the scripts to 'FTP Server > psdata > PSFILEDIR' on a Windows system in Financials 9.1 using PT 8.53.04. We constantly get a 'Permission Denied' from this process when trying to do this.
This problem happens in all DEV instances, yet the process works fine in the Prod instance. I have examined the permissions in the PSFILEDIR and compared them in DEV and PROD and find no differences

I guess you didn't like my last answer. So I'll try again. First off, forget FTP. We don't even care about FTP and adding it to the Title of the question just confuses things and maybe gets you less responses. In production, does this open a Dialog box/Save window when the export finishes?
My assumption is that you have the variable PS_FILEDIR set to \\s-wpstbftp1\s$\psdata\PSFILEDIR for the app server. Is that true?
You are failing on line 10 which is
&PROJECT_FILE = GetFile(&FILENAME, "W", %FilePath_Relative);
The PSAPPSRV process is trying to open a file in write mode. It's using Relative Path which appends &FILENAME to the path which is determined by either PS_FILEDIR or PS_SERVDIR. This part of the code is not even the part where the file is supposed to be placed at a final destination. This is very initial step in creating the file, nothing is being written yet. The PSAPPSRV process at this point knows nothing about FTP or other network transfer protocols, it simply knows that it should use \\s-wpstbftp1\s$\psdata\PSFILEDIR as the path. To the PSAPPSRV process this is a path that is locally available on the server,wWhen the system call comes through to the OS to attempt to open this file, the operating system is what allows this to seamlessly connect to a network resource.
There are two potential points where for this and they both relate to the user running the PSAPPSRV process.
You are using the Admin share for the S: drive on s-wpstbftp1. This means any connection to this PATH must be made as a user that is an Administrator on server s-wpstbftp1.
The PSAPPSRV processes must be running as a user that is an Administrator on the other server. This requires configuring the Oracle ProcMGR Windows service to run as a user that has access to the resources in question.
So to fix this you need to look at the ProcMGR service and set it to run as an Administrator user from s-wpstbftp1. This may require additional tasks such as setting up that user on the PeopleSoft server. Use task manager to look at what user is running the PSAPPSRV processes and make sure it's the user you need it to be.
In my humble opinion though, this is bad configuration:
You shouldn't be using Admin shares
I don't like relying on remote server paths that aren't redundant storage devices (NAS or SAN). What if this server is down and other processes need to use this path?
You appear to be expecting this file at a location where it is created for further processing by the code, not the final destination. The file is intended to be downloaded by the user. I don't know why the developer decided to leave the file on the file system, but they may decide to clean up after themselves or change how this works in the future. The file is created, inserted into the database, then read from the database, sent to the user, and deleted from the database. The code calls DetachAttachment which the PeopleCode Language Reference book says:
Use the DetachAttachment function to download a file from its source storage location and save it locally on the end-user machine. The file is sent to the browser with appropriate HTTP headers to cause the browser to display a save dialog box to the user.
