Pacman : ftp login [auto-solved]

Hi, -sorry for my bad english !-
I am trying to setup an archlinux repository in a local network. I have synchronised my local repo with archlinux.org's one using rsync as written in the Wiki, an it works fine :shock:
I installed proftpd to host my repo, and I would like people to connect to it using a username and a password. I tried to write in pacman.conf :
Server = ftp://username:passwd@path/to/repository
But pacman says
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: anonymous login failed
... Is it possible to use a login & passwd with pacman ? Another solution would be to allow anonymous connections. Are there ftp daemons for that?
Thanks,
EDIT : uncommented the line
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
in pacman.conf and it works.

Hi all,

Discrepancy between Pacman FTP and Arch website ? [solved]

Hi,
I just wanted to report out what I think is a discepancy between the pacman FTP base and the Archlinux website.
I installed kde yesterday pacman -S kde and replied yes to the question asking me if I wanted to install all kde group components.
I ended up with gwenview which belongs to the multimedia category on Archlinux website, while kiosktool and kshutdown, which are in the kde category on the website were not installed.
Unless I am confusing the group and category concepts, it appears to be a discrepancy. Wouldn't it be clearer if those concepts matched and bore the same name ?
Let me know. Thanks.

As you thought, you are confusing group and category. A group is a bunch of similar apps that can be installed at once.
For example, you can list all groups available by doing:
pacman -Sg
However, categories aren't the same. If you try pacman -S multimedia for example, it won't work.

Dreamweaver 8 FTP login details

For some reason Dreamweaver 8 no longer retails the FTP login
details on the remote info tab on some but not all of the 5 web
sites I manage. Anyone suggest a reason for this?

8.02 would do it.

Strange FTP log entry - FTP LOGIN REFUSED: getpwnam returned null

At the systems log file, I get entries like the following since a few days:
FTP LOGIN REFUSED: getpwnam returned null
Over and over again (three or four per second). System performance is not harmed, anything working in normal parameters.
There are several xftpd processes there causing this behavior - stopping ftp, killing them, restarting ftp solves the problem - and after one day, same situation.
I searched this forum, but haven't found much information. Others seemed to have the problem as well, but either got no reply or have decided to use a different ftp server instead of Apple's one (which is no choice for us).
Any advise would be appreciated.

Using a different server won't make any difference.
Your machine is being attacked by a hacker trying to get into your FTP server.
Don't be surprised by this. Just about any service that is open to the public internet is going to get probed at some point. All that's happened here is that some bot has detected a FTP server running on your machine and is trying a number of username/password combinations to see if they can log in.
Whether they will or not depends on the number of accounts you have on your server and the strength of their passwords.
Having a different FTP server isn't going to make a difference because the bot doesn't (yet) know what server you're running, it's just opening FTP connections and trying to log in. Any FTP server would respond in the same way.
The solution is to decide whether you really need FTP exposed to the outside world. It really isn't a secure protocol and can be the vector through which other hacks occur. If you don't need it I'd turn it off. If you do need it, consider some way of limiting access (e.g. make it available to LAN clients only and not to the whole internet, or use a VPN.

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.

Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session.

DW8 forgets FTP login and password

Each time I open Dreamweaver 8 to work on my site, I have to
re-enter the FTP login and password. This only began happening
recently. I check SAVE box, but DW8 does not save the login or
password ... so I have to re-enter every time. PLEASE advise what
could be causing this. Thank you very, very, very much!

Mac user: FTP login pw not saved

I tried posting this to another topic that was posted by a PC
user, am concerned it will get buried. I'm a Mac user and having
this same annoying FTP login issue. I don't have IE7 (can't, thank
you Microsoft) and had no problems in MX, only after upgrading to
Studio 8. Have installed the 8.0.2 update without problems. Doesn't
fix the problem. Murray, are you out there. Help!

Thanks for posting this!

Fire FTP does not work with Firesfox 4. It worked OK with version 3. How can I get a New Fire FTP? Last version of FTP does not solve the problem

Fire FTP does not work with Firesfox 4. It worked OK with version 3. How can I get a New Fire FTP? Last version of FTP does not solve the problem

I need to know if it's 64-bit or 32-bit.
If it's 64-bit, try copying the mms.cfg file from C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\Macromed\Flash to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

FTP login & password not saved

Under "manage sites" /remote, the box is checked to "save" my
site FTP login and password, but after I shut down Dreamweaver 8
and later come back to edit & put a page, I get a login error.
Turns out the login and password are not saved. When I re-enter
these two fields, I can put the page up on the site. I never had
this problem in my last version (Dreamweaver 3). Please help!! I'm
on the very disappointing Windows Vista OS. This problem happens
with multiple sites on multiple host servers, so it's not a single
site problem.

FTP Login Gone Everytime I Close DW

Hi,
Every time I close and re-open Dreamweaver all my FTP login
info is gone. (user and password). This just started yesterday. I
have been using this product Dreamweaver CS3 for almost a year
without problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

the link has now been terminated but from what I remember it was
down to Keychain Access in the Utilities folder.
If you select the 'login' section under Keychains you'll see
a list of password entries with the name of 'Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Site'. These are still named like this now even though I now use
CS4. These were all apparently corrupted and I had to delete them
all.
I then went back to Dreamweaver CS4 and re-entered all my
passwords and logons (a pain I know) for my web sites and upon
quitting and restarting the app it held them. Whatever made them
corrupt in the beginning I don't know but everything's been fine
since.
Hope this helps for Mac users.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I'm using Dreamweaver
CS4 on OS X 10.5.6 (mac). I removed the CS3 keychains and then
started up DW CS4, re-inserted the login and password, made sure
"Save" login info was checked. Then after closing DW CS4 and
re-opening it the login and password were blank. This happens both
at work and at home.
This little annoying bug (that has yet to be fixed by adobe)
makes CS4 almost unusable.

DW CS3 Repeatedly Loses FTP Login & Password Info

Greetings -
This has happened more than once, and I can't pinpoint anything else happening at the time that might cause it. Sometime during my work today, while DWCS3 was opened, all the FTP logins and passwords dropped out!
This install has only been on my new computer about a month, and all the updates were done, and no more are available. I saw many posts about old Dreamweaver 8 having this issue and a fix link given, but I don't see any complaints about this problem in any later versions, including CS3.
In lieu of a fix, I wonder what the most efficient way to put them back in is - since I have a couple of dozen on different servers with varying logins and pw's? I tried importing a backed up definition but discovered it won't overwrite but instead creates a 'version2'.
Thank you from Catherine.

You lost me.
I'm talking about the login and passwords in the Manage Sites section where we define our dreamweaver sites for FTP'ing to the server.

FTP login attempt timesout when coming from the www

hello there, let me describe the problem i am having
my seperate department under our university has our OSX Server running smoothly. Everyone is able to pull up webpages from withing the university, as well as from the outside, this is GOOD.
from within the university i can login through an FTP connection to upload things and whatnot..., HOWEVER from outside the university this is not possible, the login attempts always TIMEOUT.
now the reason why i am quite confused about this is because the webpage displays without a problem from outside the university, the FTP login however does not work.
what might be the problem here?
any help is real greatly appriciated.
Thanks, gregor.

Hi guys,
I had the similar problem:
Login via client tools worked fine
Manual login via InfoView also no problem
Kerberos-ticket was created in the background
But when acitvating vintela SSO for InfoView I could see in stdout.log that no username was passed:
"[Krb5LoginModule] user entered username: @MY_DOMAIN.COM"
As there was no real error message it was hard to figure out what the problem was. The solution itself was to simply add the server-URL to the Intranet-pages in IE. This is described in several guides but I think it's good to document what happens if this is not done correctly
Regards
