OS X Built in FTP client lockdown
Does anyone know how to lockdown the built in FTP feature in Snow Leopard?

Sorry about that yes.
I was asked to look into how I can remove or prevent users from using the built in FTP capability os OS X.
The "built in FTP capability" is implemented with the executable file /usr/bin/ftp. You could delete that file, but instead I'd recommend changing its permissions settings to that it's no longer executable. That could be done with this command in a terminal session:
sudo chmod 444 usr/bin/ftp

IWeb's built in ftp client won't upload new files
iWeb's built in ftp client is mad at me, refusing to upload new files. No doubt because last Sunday I asked GoDaddy to change my domain name (same site, name changed). They did. Immediately nothing would upload. GoDaddy said "Well some FTPs are picky." Problems continued so I said OK, please change the domain name back to its previous name, and all would be put right again. I thought.
No so. iWeb's ftp client seems still offended for having been disturbed. I make a change. Save. Click Publish Site Changes. Get the window saying Content Rights. Click Continue. The blue line scrolls nicely, "Publishing will continue in the background" shows, then **"Your site has been published"**...
...but no changes or files have been uploaded. The old page is the same.
Looks like I permanently po'd iWeb’s ftp. Should I give up and rebuild my site in a new folder? Try Fetch?
I shouldn't have done that stupid thing last Sunday. Live and learn.
Help?The root folder on the server is the top level one that you upload your files to.
You publish your website files to a local folder on your Mac. This produces an index.html file and a folder with the same name as your site in iWeb.
An FTP application transfers the files on your Mac to the root folder on the server using File Transfer Protocol.
Unlike Cyberduck, most shareware FTP applications will show both the files on your Mac and those on the server in the same window so its just a question of browsing to the folder containing your website files on your Mac and dragging them across to the icon of the root folder on your server. The application will take care of the rest.
The process really is just about as simple as dragging files from one folder on your Mac to another as long as you have the FTP application set up correctly. -
Does the Built-in Windows FTP Client Support a Secure Connection?
I have set up Server 2008 IIS w/ FTP. I set the SSL setting to require a secure connection. However, I can't connect to the FTP server from the built-in Windows FTP client. I CAN get it to work in FileZilla after modifying my connection properties.
Does the built-in Windows FTP client support secure connections? I received a request to set this up so our internal employees can share files with external customers. Many times our customers are unable to install any kind of third party software on their
computers.
Thanks in advance for the help.Hi,
Based on my known, the built-in FTP client does not support secure connections.

If it does not help, you could ask in IIS forums as Meinolf Weber mentioned.
Hope this helps.

To offer integrated forms, so like Jotform, there are templates that can be used and upload options to FTP client as well as other built in widgets.
What you need is merged help.
You generate a parent and all the child projects. You always install the parent and then whichever child projects you require. The TOC, search and index automatically adjust. See the pages on my site.
Note though that many people take another view to your Product Development. Show all the help and then people see information about something and realise they need it!

I would like to have my business website (built using iWeb) hosted with another service other than .Mac. I have registered my domain name with GoDaddy and am looking at GoDaddy to host my website. I understand I need an FTP Client and GoDaddy directed me to Fetch for Mac. Also, if I purchase GoDaddy's web hosting service, I have to choose between Windows shared hosting and Linux shared hosting. I'm assuming I need the Linux shared hosting.
Can somebody tell me whether I am making the right choice to:
1) Host my site at GoDaddy
2) Purchase Fetch FTP Client
3) Choose Linux shared hosting
Thanks for your help,
Randygodaddy has a good rep.
fetch works fine. many like cyberduck or transmit
linux is the choice -
Ftps client and other connect to server questions
Does anyone know if OS X has a built-in ftps (not sftp) client? Also, is there a list of supported protocols for "connect to server"? Thanks!
apparently there is via the application Terminal...but I have no idea how to work it!

Built-in FTP not showing all files
I have my 15" flat panel connected to a Topfield 7160 PVR by an ethernet cable. The Topfield has a built-in FTP server. So, using the built-in FTP (read only) facility in OS X Tiger, I can show the Topfield files on the Finder.
Recently, however, the FTP facility has not been accessing all folders on the Topfield properly. Some folders are shown as empty when they are not. When I disconnect and reconnect, different folders are shown as empty.
I have tested the Topfield FTP server with the Cyberduck client. Everything shows properly. So, there is an issue with the OSX Tiger FTP client and/or how it sends commands to the Topfield FTP server.
Does anyone know what the problem might be ?
Many thanks
GarryI think your second question is correct - I think I see more if I open up further down the tree. I'll have to do some tests with the Finder and my AppleScript. I'll search for more online regarding the file limit.
I know that being read only the OS X ftp client isn't fully featured. I wouldn't be surprised if there are limitations.
Many thanks.

Why to use 3rd party ftp client
why not using the one in iweb?
There are 3 reasons to use a 3rd party ftp client:
1 - if you intend to use the freeiWeb SEO Tool to add Google Analytics, image alternate titles or other metadata to the site's files. This requires publishing to a folder first and you'll need a 3rd party ftp client to upload from there.
2 - if you intend on using a web site optimizer like Web Site Maestro which also requires publishing to a folder first.
3 - if you experience problems using iWeb's built in client. Some users have reported problems with iWeb's client and switching to a 3rd party client like the free Cyberduck solved their problem. Just a matter of need.
If you don't need to add metadata or optimize your site and iWeb performs as it's intended then there's no reason to use a 3rd party client.

IWeb integrated ftp won't connect. Settings confirmed via standard ftp client
I am nable to ftp via the iWeb integrated ftp interface. I have tested the settings via a standard ftp client without issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks! JoeiWeb is kind of unusual in that it publishes a folder containing the website files and an external index.html that opens the home page. There's also a copy of this index.html file inside the folder.
This arrangement is to suit publishing to the Apple server - MobileMe - and is kind of illogical when publishing else where.
Uploading using the iWeb built in FTP means that the URL has the folder name in the path...
http://www.domain-name.com/Site-Name/Page-Name.html
To avoid this, the site needs to be published to a local folder using the second method on the page I referred to above and the files inside the folder uploaded to the root on the server....

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 -
Issue with Ftp Client / Server using Sockets
I have developed a Ftp Client and a Ftp Server. The client Connects to the Ftp Server and sends files to the ftp server. It is a multi threaded server and can have multiple clients connecting to it.
If a client goes down...the server waits till the client comes up
Similarly the client waits if a server goes down and reconnects when the server is again up and running
i am having a strange issue here. When two clients go down and reconnect to the server...They take a long time to connect and transferring of files takes a long time...
Other wise in all other scenarios the duo work properly.
Any feedback and suggestion about this strange issue from all you java gurus out there will be deeply appreciated.

FTP client is not working in active mode
Hi,
I have a ftp issue trying to download iweb files.
My provider enabled me a ftp access.
I tried to connect to it with transmit or rbrowser ftp client (passive mode disabled). The connection works well but i can not retrieve the list of files.
However using my PC and filezilla ftp client in active mode, the connection did work properly.
Any idea to help make this connection work on my mac ?
ThanksPerhaps this will help...
http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
"The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn't make the actual connection to the data port of the server--it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client--something that is usually blocked." -
How can FTP users access my NAS system via FTP client?
I recently purchased a 2 bay, 4TB Buffalo Link Station DUO in order to solve some FTP issues. I have about 50 users outside my LAN that need to connect drop files on my NAS, however nobody seems able to connect via FTP client. If they login using the Web Access Dynamic DNS address they can read and write via their web browser, but it's clunky and slow.
My NAS system has been given the IP adress of 192.168.1.254 which seem to me that it's a local IP adress, not a public/static IP. Do I need to manually assign an IP adress to my NAS system in order fot users to log into that specific IP and go directly to the shared folders on the NAS system?
Thanks in advance!Your NAS is getting that IP because it is behind your Router, which is the normal way to use it and as it should be.
You can not ASSIGN a public IP you your NAS. Only your ISP can do that and usually that incures an extra cost for more than 1 Public IP address. Usually included with a Business account and most of the time only available with a Business account. ISP do not want home owners running FTP or Mail servers on a residential acounts.
As noted you have to forward the noraml FTP port, port 21, in your Router to the IP of the NAS. Since you already have that port forwarded to your Mac, which I have no idea why you did that, you have to either change that port forwarding to the NAS IP or make the FTP server on the NAS respond to some other port and forward that on the router to the IP of the NAS. The to access the NAS FTP server you have to enter the piblic IP address of your router followed with a :and port #. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:22 or whatever port # you assign to the FTP server on the NAS. -
Looking for a specific feature in an FTP Client
Hello!
I am looking for a "simple" feature in any FTP client for OS X.
I have tried Fetch, Transmit, CyberDuck and Interarchy 7.x and none had the ability to throttle uploads/downloads. I work with a limited bandwidth and sometimes have to download files (or upload) in the background but at a very slow speed (because the peer has a poor connection).
None of these nice (and they are nice!) ftp programs can do this. I have to either use wget via the command line (wget --limit-rate=xx) or use Total Commander for Windows inside a Parallels Virtual Machine.
Does anybody know about a Mac FTP client that can throttle and enqueue items easily?
Thanks in advance!Look at "lftp". It as about a zillion parameters that can be set. One of them is "net:limit-total-rate"
Quoted from the Docs....
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to avoid this.
Find lftp here lftp.yar.ru It is also in thr Fink archive. http://fink.sourceforge.net/ -
FTP Clients on E72: can't get any to work
Hello again.
So, I've been trying to get FTP Client functionality on my Nokia E72. I guess I'm just doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out.
I tried:
* SIC! FTP (native Symbian App)
* PaderSyncFTP (Java)
* MobyExplorer (Java)
None of the applications work on my E72. They do work however (with the same SIM card) on my Nokia 6120 classic.
The applications seemingly try to connect on the E72, however it never actually initiates a packet data connection at all. As if there wouldn't be an application trying to access the Internet.. I also tried to set up WLAN as my primary access point. Works for everything else, but not for those FTP clients.
I tried several FTP servers on different ports (21, 666, 667). All work on 6120 classic, none work on E72. Also tried to switch from passive to active mode to no avail.
Funny thing is: When I use my PuTTY SSH Client on E72 to just probe an FTP servers port, that works! I can see the connection attempt in my FTP Servers logfile, and I can see the Server responding in PuTTY!! But with the actual FTP clients i never even get out into the network, wether I try to use WLAN or 3.5G..
I'm lost. Everything else works. SSH2 using PuTTY works, Skype works, webbrowsing works.
What could be prohibiting all those FTP clients from initiating a connection?! For MobyExplorer I even tried all of its four "connection modes" that they have for "buggy firmwares". Doesn't make a difference at all.
Also: Those apps never ask for an Access Point on the E72, even if the AP is configured to do so.
I have no idea what to do... Any advice would be appreciated! Maybe it's just some strange configuration issue..
