OS X Mountain Lion - FTP server, no files visible

I try to set up the FTP server in OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion with the Server app (2.2). So far, all services are running but I'm not able to make files visible over internet or local access. I can change the directory to any custom or predefined share and give all users full access (read & write) to all files in that share but no file is showing up. I tried to access the FTP server locally with a FTP application and the same with a web FTP proxy. Files that I copied to the selected share will not show up on the FTP server. In fact, not a single file is visible.
Maybe this has something to do with anonymous access. I want a public folder, accessible from outside (internet). I really don't know whether anonymous access is possible with OS X FTP server nor whether I should create special users for FTP access. The server application is not very helpful regarding this.
Which rights and users should configured in FTP server? How to set up generic anonymous access?

I am having a similar problem. I have files automaticly uploading via FTP. This works perfectly on my older desktop but on my MBP with mountain lion, the files only display one or two at a time and only show newer files when the first ones are deleted.
The same behavior occures when using the ftp enable script in the terminal app.
Not exactly the same but similar.
Why did apple take the simple FTP toggle away??? My 13 year old Mac wins this battle and remains on the shelf

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. All the files were deleted. I have Time Machine backups. When I restart the mac pressing Command R to restore from backup it shows the previous OS X (Leopard) beside the date of the backup. Will it go back if I restore?

No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Photoshop CS5 Windows file server save issue

After Lion to Mountain Lion upgrade.
Cannot save or save as to Windows server. Due to "program error." Adobe Photoshop CS5. Can save as fine to local drive. Can also drag and drop in the Finder to this server.
This is Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 (current).
Once the error "could not save filename due to a program error" occurs, the file disappears from the Windows server.
I think it has something to due with the SMB connection.
All other CS5 apps (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.) "save" and "save as" fine. It is also fine performing the same procedure using Preview.

We're in 2015 and this is still an issue with the latest updates from Apple. Any one confirm that the save to network storage problem in Photoshop is gone with the newest version of Photoshop Creative Cloud?
Here's what's happening in our shop as of May, 2015 with both AFP and SMB server connections:
We are using Photoshop CS 5.1, Version 12.1 x64. I believe this is the most up to date version of our CS5.1 software.
We are on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3.
When connected to the server via afp (in server log it says "AFP client")
Photoshop gives this error on a save after some changes are made to the file: "Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted." Then, as soon as you hit ok, the file is deleted from the server and is gone within a minute or so. If no change was made to the file, save works fine.
If you use "save as" and keep the same file name, it will usually fail with the same error as above. If you use save as and type in a new file name, all works fine.
If logged in via SMB (in the server log is says "CIFS client")
When you try to save, the error changes to "could not save "file name" because the file was not found." And then as soon as you hit OK on the error, the file is deleted from the server. Using Save As and inputing a different file name presented a new problem, it always says "could not save as "file name" because the file was not found." (in this case SMB seems to be worse than an AFP connection).
This is very frustrating and has been going on in the forums for over 3 years. Shared network environments are commonplace today. It seems to be centered around photoshop and OSX. All other software we use has been working fine with the server / network attached storage.
Thanks for any guidance. Sean

Any news about Mountain Lion not closing open files / folders on smb server shares?

Hey Apple, anyone listening?
Are there any new about this issue, where Mac clients cannot move/edit/rename each others files and folders on a smb server share? We are a graphics work group in an otherwise Windows-centered enterprise. We have mac clients with OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and recently 10.8.5. None of the older clients can work with files or folders created by the new machine, meaning that InDesign files will open read only, files and folders cannot be moved or renamed. This is absolutely critical in a flexible work environment, where any graphics designer must be able to jump into any other project on short notice.
As mentioned in other threads around the web, this seems to be a problem not with file permissions but with the finder not releasing/closing files and folders correctly when not actually in use. (a known issue is the fact, that i.e. Acrobat pdf must not be viewed in column views preview, if anyone else wants to overwrite that file, but this issue here goes much further). We urgently need a fix for that!
I'm really desparate about this topic, since the IT-department is already reluctant to offer mac support and to look into these problems; if there is no solution to this, we will be switched to windows workstations by the end of the year ... Apple, do you want that? We surely don't!
A frustrated user

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Does that mean, that there is a solution to this on the server side? Is this ACL stuff a matter of setting up the server correctly, rather than a problem with mountain lion's networking?
If i could be sure about this, I would approach our IT department... (the are just waiting for some Mac User pestering them ) ...

Buy Mountain Lion: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

Hi community,
When trying to buy Mountain Lion I get: "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.”, any clue on how to fix this issue? It only happens in one of my computers.
In the console I get an error when trying to purchase it:

1) I deleted the /var/folders/8l folder (gets recreated when opening the app), no result.
2) Tried to check "Best attempt" for both OCSP and CRL certificate management in Key Chain.
No result in any way.
Any idea?

Can't connect to mountain lion smtp server

Hello. I've been trying to get outside mail clients (Mac Mail) to connect to a virtual domain mail server I am hosting at work. Our main domain name works fine. And the virtual domain works fine as long as you are on our internal network. But for some reason, outside of our network, I can only receive POP mail with the server but I can't send any mail with the server. This is on a completely new installation of OS X Mountain Lion/Server. Everytime I try to get mail I get a message that the smtp connection to the sever failed even though I know the settings are the exact same settings I use to connect when I'm on our local network and it connects, sends, and receives just fine. How do I allow the outside world to connect?

I did a work around which I didn't really want to do but my head hurts from trying to find an answer for days and no one here apparently has a clue as to why it's happening.
I gave my mountain lion a static ip address and then made a hosts entry on all the windows machines. Viola, I can connect to all the mac shares with no account screen/password screens popping up. I shouldn't have to go into the hosts file on every single windows machine just so I can see shares on the macbook. Something's broke somewhere.

Mountain Lion Filemaker/Server

I have a Filemaker Database hosted on a OSX Server running 10.6.8 Server.
I have a number of Mac clients connecting to this database all running 10.7 & either FM 10 or 11. Pretty easy to set up as once you point or browse FM to the server it jut see's it and away you go.
I have just upgraded on of the client Macs to 10.8 Mountain Lion, doing a completely new install (new HD) and reinstalled FM 10.
Tried to find and connect to the database on the server without success.
Thought it may be a version issue so installed FM12 on the client Mac running 10.8 but still cannot see the database.
Read some issues about how ML has turned off Apache web hosting but I was assuming this was for incoming connections to the client.
Anybody have any ideas of a fix?

FileMaker 12 changed the file format, which means that Pro 12 is unable to connect to FileMaker Pro/Server 11 or earlier (and Pro 11 or earlier is not able to connect to Pro/Server 12). If any one client needs to run FileMaker 12, you would have to upgrade everyone to FileMaker 12 (including the server).
If a copy of FileMaker Pro 12 has been purchased for one computer only, you can contact FileMaker Inc. and purchase a downgrade licence to FileMaker Pro 11, for US$5 (or similar prices in other currencies).
I can't explain why Pro 10 on Mountain Lion would be unable to connect to Pro/Server 10 or 11 on Snow Leopard.
FileMaker Inc. have not tested FileMaker 10 for Mountain Lion compatibility, so it may have some issues (it has some known issues on Lion, but not in the area of networked databases).
They have tested Pro 11 on Mountain Lion, and they claim it is compatible apart from complications with Gatekeeper for installation.
I'm running Pro 11 on Mountain Lion, but I haven't tried network connections to other instances of FileMaker 11. I can set up a test, but won't have a chance for a few days, so hopefully someone else will chip in.
You might also have better luck asking this question on the FileMaker discussion forums.

If you are unable or unwilling to update to Office 2008 or 2011, you can install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion and continue to use Office 2004 (and most other PowerPC applications) concurrently with Lion or Mt. Lion:

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
Thanks,
Madhu

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

hi colin,
TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping

Mountain Lion iMovie I deleted files and now I can't log in at all

I was editing a movie in iMac, but when I went to finalize the project, it told me I didn't have enough memory. I checked and re-checked and I could not find what was using it up. My movie/photos etc totaled a litte over 100 gigs out of 1 TB. I downloaded a couple of programs to see what was taking up the space but finally found out that 719 gigs was being used by a huge file called "bands." I deleted the file and now when I try to log in I am told that file vault cannot log me in at this time. I have been trying for two days to log in. I was connected to Lacie 6TB but upon disconnecting the size of the file did not decrease.
Am I screwed? Are there any solutions? Apple refuses to even acknowledge my mail, so I assume this is a problem they don't want to hear about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using OSX Mountain Lion.

Has anyone else had Mountain Lion 10.8.2 file copying trouble?

Has anyone had any trouble with file copying to external disks?
I have used a third party programme called "Synchronize! Pro X" (SyncPX) for many years with OS X up to 10.5.8 and it has never given any trouble at all. In July I bought a new MacBook Pro 15", upgraded to 10.8.1 and bought the latest update for SyncPX (6.5.1). This worked perfectly as far as I know until I downloaded the 10.8.2 Mountain Lion upgrade about a week ago.
The symptoms are:
1) When files are copied in backup mode (running as a single user, updating only files that have changed) to an external disk using Firewire, a high percentage of them do not have their file information copied correctly. The "Last modified" date is often set to the time that the copy was made rather than being replaced with the "Last modified" date from the source file. Also, "further information" is sometimes not copied.
2) When files are copied in "Full bootable backup" mode (SyncPX runs "as root", copies files from ALL users and tries to set owner and group to be same as source file), the same symptoms as in (1) occur, but also SyncPX hangs right at the end of copying. Sometimes it says "Updating dyld cache…", sometimes "Updating aliases…". When this happens it is impossible to halt SyncPX except by forcing a quit, and then the external disc is not released so that it cannot be ejected except by forcing a shutdown. In that case the external disk usually needs repairing. The errors are always "incorrect number of extended attributes".
I have tried lots of things.
a) Restart
b) Reformatting the external disk and starting over.
c) Reinstalling the system (after checking and repairing the main system disc), followed by (b)
d) Turning off indexing for the external disc
e) Repeating the test with a different external disk (to make sure it's not down to a faulty external disk)
f) I have looked at Console logs but they do not indicate anything odd going on.
None of this makes any difference. By contrast, a straight drag and drop copy from Finder works with no errors.
At this point you probably think the errors are SyncPX's fault. But:
i) The same version of SyncPX worked until 10.8.2 was released
ii) If the destination disk for a SyncPX backup is a network disk, everything works OK.
I started by taking the fault up with SyncPX's developer, Qdea. One other user had noted a fault similar to (2). Qdea maintain that there's nothing wrong with their code, and blame Apple's disc drivers.
On balance I think Qdea could be right, or at least Apple have changed some specifications but not told the developer world.
I haven't yet tried to take this up directly with Apple (through AppleCare) as I think they will probably wash their hands of it and blame the developer. The point of this post is to see if anyone else has had a similar problem, perhaps with different software, and if there is anyone with sufficient experience to give advice on how to take this forward. Is the case for an OS bug convincing or do others feel it's a fault with SyncPX alone? If so how does one explain its perfect behaviour until 10.8.2?
What steps can I take to pin this down further? All advice and comments will be gratefully received..

Dump Qdea for someone who knows how to write Mac software.
1. Qdea displays the following logo: . This is a pre-MacOS X logo.
2. Qdea displays the following review:
MacFixit had a good reputation, if you are old enough to remember when it used to exist.
3. Qdea provides download links to SynchronizeX and version in French, German, and Japanese. Apparently they don't know that Mac software can be localized into a single executable.
I'm sure there are any number of similar utilities available, all of them cheaper than SynchronizeX's $99.99 price.

Mountain Lion to Mavericks, Restore Files on Time Machine

Hey gang, I tried to install Mavericks on my 13" MBP and it completely bombed. I had to boot into recovery and reinstall Mountain Lion. After a clean Mountain Lion install I proceeded to upgrade to Mavericks. Now I have a clean Mavericks install with no other programs, files, etc from my original Mountain Lion install. I have a complete Time Machine backup from my Mountain Lion install but when I try to use Migration Assistant it doesn't see the disk. I can browse the disk through finder though. How can I get my files from my Mountain Lion install onto this new computer? I do have access to another MBP with Mountain Lion if required to do this.
Thanks

If that happened to me, I would use the Recovery Disk bootstrap and do a "Restore from Backup".
Here is how:
Restart your computer, holding the "Command" and "R" keys until you see the Apple logo. This will boot into recovery mode. You can then choose a "Restore from Backup" once you establish your WiFi, etc.
