Open port 21 for ftp in mac osx server 10.6

Hello
I want to open port 21. The firewall in the mac server is already off.The ftp server is enabled in this mac server. The NAT in the router is set accordingly to the internal IP of this MAC computer (OS X Server 10.6). However, whenever I try http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ to check whether the port 21 is open or not, it still says that the port is closed.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot

well if your trying to connect to the host, without an active network port you could try connecting with localhost or 107.0.0.1. You could also try deleting the ethernet interface and re-adding it. And or hard coding the ethernet interface to static ip.

  • How to open Ports for App running in VPC

    Trying to open ports for a Windows app that I am running via VPC but the application still shows the port is unreachable.
    So far I have, opened the port in Mac OSX Firewall, opened ports on my D-Link DSL504G router, disabled the Windows firewall (plus opened the ports in case it became enabled).
    Have also redirected the ports to the IP address within VPC Windows and the Mac itself.
    Have run out of ideas as nothing seems to work.

  • Configure MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 via Windows 7 PC

    Hi,
    i have a problem. I bought the MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 and I want to configure the MacMiniServer via a Windows 7 PC. But the Mac Mini Mac OS x Server Install DVD can not open with a Windows 7 PC. Is there a possibility to start the install DVD from a windows 7 PC. I have at this time only a Windows PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    The MacMini Server having no optical drive has nothing to do with what you want to do. The server OS comes pre-installed.
    All you have to do is follow Mr Hoffman's suggestions.
    Any USB Keyboard and mouse will do. Your only problem as far as I can see is finding a suitable monitor and/or DVI adapter to connect it to. It may be worth your while purchasing a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter?

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

    Hi,
    I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
    I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
    I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
    I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
    Thanks,
    Don

    If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
    Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps

  • Bridge CS6 Mac cannot browse Mac OSX server 10.8

    Hello:
    We had a drobo file server which was mounted on the desktop and had no issues browseing the volume in bridge.  After we moved to a new Mac OSX server running 10.8 we can no longer browse the mounted server.  We get a primission violation. Using the finder we're able to browse files and folders and create new files without this same type of issue.
    Is there a preference that allows connection to a network volume via Bridge?
    I hope I was clear on the discritpion of the problem.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Try a reset of preferences for Bridge using option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.
    There is also a plist file for Bridge in the user library preferences folder that can be manual deleted and will be refreshed after restarting Bridge.
    And maybe run a check and repair permission with either Apple Disk utility or cocktail.
    Unfortunately Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor official supported by Adobe when it comes networks.

  • Do I need to open ports for NTP?

    I just noticed that my hwclock was off by nearly 30 seconds. It's almost certainly due to the recent initscripts update.
    As I was looking into resetting the clock, I found out that openntpd is deprecated so I've switched to ntp, configured the daemon, reset the time with ntpd -q, and started the daemon. The time is not accurate again.
    I remember back when I first installed Arch I tried to set up ntp but it didn't seem to work, so I tried openntpd and stuck with that. I reached the conclusion that ntp required open ports, which I felt was unnecessary given that openntpd could do the same thing without open ports.
    Now that I'm looking at it again, I can't find any definitive answer...
    Do I need to open ports for ntp if I only want to sync the system that it's running on?

    ISC ntpd (the ntp package) will open UDP 123 on all your interfaces regardless of what you do with it. It will work anyway even if you block this port in iptables, assuming that you're allowing responses to established traffic as usual - your outbound mobilization requests to your chosen servers will be enough to allow the responses, and the same with further traffic sent for the lifetime of ntpd. Using iptables like this is probably the easiest way to secure ntpd.
    There's also some defense in depth you can do:
    - run ntpd as non-root
    - run it chrooted to some safe directory (really only makes sense when doing non-root as well, since root can break out of a chroot)
    - apply ntpd's built-in access controls (see examples in ntpd.conf, and full docs in ntp_acc(5))
    I accomplish the first two of these by chowning /var/lib/ntp (and any contents) to ntp:ntp (so ntpd can write ntp.drift there when non-root), by using a driftfile path relative to the chroot in ntp.conf, and by setting NTPD_ARGS="-g -i /var/lib/ntp -u ntp:ntp" in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client.conf.
    For the third, I chose to not allow any remote traffic to initiate anything with my ntpd, with this /etc/ntp.conf:
    server ac-ntp0.net.cmu.edu iburst
    server ac-ntp1.net.cmu.edu iburst
    server ac-ntp2.net.cmu.edu iburst
    server ac-ntp3.net.cmu.edu iburst
    server ac-ntp4.net.cmu.edu iburst
    restrict default nomodify nopeer noquery
    restrict 127.0.0.1
    driftfile /ntp.drift
    Note the two "restrict" lines. The first shuts out remote access of most kinds, and the second allows the local machine all the access that would also be denied to it as well otherwise by the first rule. Note also the driftfile path, relative to the chroot of /var/lib/ntp/.
    With all these security features, ISC ntpd can be just as safe as openntpd.
    The use of the "iburst" keyword on the server lines to recover more quickly from out-of-contact conditions is also quite nice, and not rude to the remotes like "burst" would be.
    One of the nicest other features of ISC ntpd is that it's smart enough to notice when network state changes occur, like bringing a VPN up/down, changing routes, or switching from wired to wireless and back. openntpd tended to just lose connections in these cases.

  • Do I need to open ports for my services if I am connecting through VPN

    Hi,
    I work in a small office and we are trying to connect people remotely to our server through VPN.
    Using the Server App I managed to make VPN work and successfully connected to our file share points, so that means file sharing worked without opening ports for afp on my Airport router.
    On the other side I cant connect to other services as iCal and Address Book as I am locally in the office. Does that mean I have to open the ports for those services on the router, if yes then why use VPN in the first place.
    Thanks,

    If I understood you correctly:
    External client -> (server.domain.name) -> Router -> Server: is working
    Internal client -> (server.domain.name) -> Router -> Server: is not working
    Internal client -> (local ip) -> Server: is working
    If yes, you can implement a-la "split zone DNS".
    1. On the external DNS your domain name server.domain.name resolved to the external router IP.
    2. You should add record (and zone) server.domain.name to your OS X Lion Server DNS pointing to local IP
    When you are connected to VPN, system sets DNS server to your Lion server and server.domain.name is resolving to local IP.
    When you are working without VPN, system use external DNS and server.domain.name is resolving to external IP.
    Of course, you should open ports for your services on the router is you want to use them from external network.
    I am using this configuration and it works perfectly.
