Port 548 Shutting Down File Transfer Over Network

OK, nobody laugh, but I am trying to transfer some old work files from an ancient PowerBook 3400 (including many on Zip disks) running OS 8.1 to one of our newer machines so we can look through them at our leisure later and save those of interest.
On the PowerBook, I have successfully connected to both of the new machines (see below) via Chooser and started to copy files to those machines. In the middle of the copy, after a few minutes, I get the following message: 192.168.1.xx:548 "The file server connection has closed down". 192.168.1.xx is the LAN IP address of the receiving machine. Personal File Sharing is allowed, and file permissions have been given to Others in the receiving folder. Do I need to do authorize something on Port 548 to allow the transfer?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Ralph
I can see where that might be the case, but file transfer worked flawlessly BEFORE I went wireless using the same modem. The only way to unblock ports on my router is to turn NAT off - it creates a DMZ, so it permits unhindered 2-way traffic...
It's a pretty confusing piece of kit. Maybe I should just get a Netgear anyway!
I have a laptop on the wireless network as well, and file transfer works a treat between it and the iMac. All I can think of is that because I'm now working on a LAN, there's a blockage to get out to the "Real World" - even though it's easy for video to pass through.
I'll check my unblocked ports again, just to be sure. I'm unfamilar with the term "Jabber" - is that what Apple decided to call one of the elements of iChat? Excuse my ignorance...!

  • File Transfer Over Network Problem since 10.4.9 Update

    Since the update I've had this problem. Here's a typical operation:
    In a finder window, from my PowerMac G5, I click on Network and mount a disk from another Mac on the Network (Intel Mac Mini). I navigate to that mounted disk and drag a 1.5GB file from it to a directory on my G5.
    This used to take a couple of minutes before the update. Now it takes over 4 hours! My network looks like this:
    Intel mac Mini (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    PowerMac G5 (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Pwerbook (10.4.8) Wi-Fied to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    I don't understand why this is happening or how to correct this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I do this operation frequently and 4+ hours is totally unacceptable.
    Thanks!
    G5 2.5gHz PowerMac, Mac Mini Core Duo, G3 400mHz Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I found out that about the same time as the update one of my five external hard drives started going south on me. When it got to the point of no return where it wouldn't mount any more I took it off the Mac. The network is running fast and fine now. For some reason the drive was slowing everything up. Weird.

  • When upgrading to OSX Yosemite do all my programs and files transfer over such as Office for mac, saved documents from word,excel,pics,pdf files,etc.etc...

    Will all my files transfer over (or stay) automatically right after upgrading to Yosemite or do I have to backup every single desired program or document? Question is do I HAVE to please if you can answer if its mandatory or not. Not looking for recommendations that I SHOULD back up or anything like that just want to know if it is mandatory to perform a backup to be able to keep or transfer all my current programs and apps and documents currently on my MB Pro Retina.

    Yes, upgrading to Yosemite will not touch your 3rd party apps or files in the Home folder.
    Although not mandatory you should have a a backup of your hard drive regardless if you upgrade to Yosemite or not.  To not have a backup is just playing  Russian roulette as there are only two types of hard drives;  those that have failed and those that will.

  • EEM -automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase

    Hi,
    Need help..
    can any one help me how can EEM help for automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase a predefined level.
    I have a set up different branches connected together...OSPF is the routing protocol and need to communicate with two branches via hub locations.
    need to shut or switch some percent of traffic from primary to back up when packet drop in the link.

    I am not sure EEM can do what you want.
    Another option could be to use SLA tacking/monitoring. But you will fall back to the new route when you lose some percentage of pings, you can't switch only part of the traffic.
    I hope it helps.

  • Files deleted over network

    Hi, some of users over the network accidentally deleted a folder from XServe, and he asked if it can be recovered, when someone deletes a file/folder over network OSX reports that "the item will be deleted immediately", is this true? it wont going to be stored in some "Network Trash Folder"? or ".Trashes"? or "Temporary Items"??
    And if it really wont be recovered, is there a way to prevent this in the future? like to tell OSX Server to put all the files/folders deleted over network to be stored in a special folder for a certain time to prevent loosing important files accidentally or by other users??
    Thanks

    Bertrand> This seems a nice idea, but its not exactly what i need, people still need to delete files from the server, but sometimes they delete important things and im looking for a way that the OSX Server keeps the remotely deleted file for a certain amount of time so it can be restored if needed. many times users accidentally delete files from the server and hit the "OK" button without noticing they just delete an important file from the server and not from there HD, for example, in Apple Share IP on OS9 if you delete a file over the network it would keep it in the user Trash and he empties it, and if he for example restarted his computer, the file on the ASIP would be stored in "Network Trash Folder".. why the mighty OSX Server doest have this great ability?!
    Steve> Tapes is great for backup and archiving, but its not what i am really looking for, it has the same problem i have with Time Machine, time machine wont backup a file copied to the server and accidentally deleted within an hour, so Tapes, wont backup a file copied and deleted within a day..
    WelshDog2> just a question: if i dont have any partition on my XRAID, how can i make it backup its self on its own HD's?! is this possible?! it wont solve my problem but its good to know if this can be done..
    Thank you all guys for your replies, i really appreciate it..

  • IChatAV and file transfer over wireless network

    Hi there...
    I'd like to let you in on my predicament. Firstly, a bit of background.
    I decided to buy my folks an old iMac from eBay in Australia - and pay for their broadband connection - so that I could video chat to them from the UK, and they could see my 5 year old son for the first time in 4 years. Cute, eh?
    Well, everything was working fine until I decided to go wireless in my home about 3 months ago. I have a static IP address, and purchased a nice new Airport Express to integrate into the system. I allocated my G5 iMac it's own network address (10.0.1.2), and the base station the master address (10.0.1.1). From there, the base station communicates to the router via the static IP... Sound ok?
    Anyway - NOW (or, for as long as I can recall), I CANNOT for the life of me send files over the connection. Video chat and audio chat are fine (although OCCASIONALLY it takes a few goes to be able to see THEM on my computer - I think their bandwidth isn't THAT stable at 512Kbps down and 128Kbps up) - however, the correct ports have been unblocked on the OSX firewall AND the Airport Express base station.
    And just so that you know it's not the folks' fault - I can't send documents/images over the network to friends I KNOW are competent (or, at least more competent than my parents!). There's always an error message at the receiver's end, and the file I'm attempting to send just times out.
    Has anyone any suggestions as to how I might be able to resolve this problem before I expire from old age?!?
    Your thoughts are REALLY appreciated!

  • Can't find how to shut off File Transfer Mode with...

    I've spent the better part of two hours searching the Internet for information on how to turn off File Transfer Mode since my phone started refusing to connect to my home computer, today.
    The pdf user's guide doesn't say how to find it.  I've been digging through the menu on the phone trying to find anything that resembles File Transfer Mode so I can click it off.
    The other FAQ and discussion groups I've located are irrelavent as the information they contain doesn't transfer to my Nokia 820 (they suggest options which don't exist on my phone).
    Please, where does one start looking for File Transfer Mode on this phone so they can shut it off, and why isn't that information printed in the troubleshooting documents and self help files for these phones?
    I connect through the USB cable to my PC.  I have downloaded and installed Nokia PC Suite v.7.1.180.94 this morning in hopes that it would fix the connectivity problem, but unless I can get File Transfer Mode shut off somehow, my new phone's going to wind up being useless.
    Nokia Lumia 820, Windows 8 phone
    HP Pavilion Slimline s52021, Windows 7 Home

    have you searched these forums and tried a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? Bear in mind that no, Nokia Suite, or Nokia PC Suite do not work with Windows Phone 8 devices at all, only the Windows Phone app does.
    See if other devices connect to your PC, and try other USB ports.

  • G5 shuts down on transfer to Mac Pro

    Recently purchased Mac Pro and while attempting to transfer data to Mac Pro the G5 would shut down. I made several attempts and it continued to shut down. I adjusted the energy settings so that the G5 would not sleep. I'm sure the firmware is up to date. Would the 800 firewire transfer faster. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    John,
    I do not understand the problem with your G5. I do know that with my wife's G5 the fan speeds up when I have it operating in T-boot.
    When I transferred files from my G4, I went through two stages. The initial was using T-boot. The second, ongoing, is via ethernet connection. I use my Macs' gigabit ethernet capability to the max. It's great!! I am the slow link in everything I do these days.
    Your Mac pro has two ethernet connections. Have you considered using a direct ethernet connection from your G5 to the second port on your Mac Pro?

  • Problem with file transfer over the net

    Hi!I'm trying to make a program that allows to send/receive files and I'm almost done,except for a little problem:the file received has some bytes missing at the end!
    For example if I send a text the last 2-3 lines are missing,same thing for an image,an html document,etc.,although the file opens without any problem.As transport-level protocol I'm using TCP so it's not a networking problem,I think the problem is in the application layer so I post here the code,hoping someone helps me out(in this example I'm trying to send an image .jpg):
    Sender:
    Socket connectionSocket=new Socket("ipadress",port);
    FileInputStream source=new FileInputStream(System.getProperty("user.home")+"\\Documents\\image.jpg");
    BufferedOutputStream send=new BufferedOutputStream(connectionSocket.getOutputStream());
    int c;
    while ((c = source.read()) !=-1)
                    send.write(c1);
    Receiver
    ServerSocket receiverSocket=new ServerSocket(port);
    Socket  connection=receiverSocket.accept();
    BufferedInputStream rec=new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
    FileOutputStream receivedFile=new FileOutputStream(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\received.jpg");
    int c;
    while ((c = rec.read()) != -1)
                    receivedFile.write(c);I think the problem is in this code:somehow the sender stops sending bytes before the end of the file is actually reached...what do u think?

    Thank you so much!At the end it was a very stupid mistake!:D
    Btw now that the main problem is solved I continue posting asking for your opinion:is this program for you efficient enough?Or there's a better way to do file transfer?

  • IMac shut down playing radio over itunes

    An iMac from 2009. It was left alone over an hour playing a radio station over itunes. When came back the computer had shut down, & can be turned back on. Touching the keyboard didn't wake it up. Tried option, command, escape. Pressed on switch in back & nothing happened. Unplugged & replugged it, & still wouldn't start.
    I don't have all the details.The computer is in CT & I'm in NJ.
    Any suggestions?

    Leave the power & all cords/peripherals unplugged from it for an hour, plug the power back in & see if it boots up.

    Hi Residae,
    I understand you are having issues when connecting your iPod to iTunes. Lets see if the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant resolves this:
    iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    Reset
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip:
    If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    If the above does not help, please try the remaining 4 steps.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Pxi655x automatic shut down due to over temperatur​e

    I have a PXI-1045 chassis with the following pxi boards installed,
    1. PXI 6602 x 1
    2. pxi 6534 x 3
    3. pix5411 x 1
    4. pxi4070 x 1
    The whole system works fine, however after I installed 3 pxi 6551 in the pxi chassis, I always encounter the problem that the pxi 6551 boards will shut down automatically due to over temperature, and the message showed that I need to switch the system off. Has anyone come across similar problem? Sometimes it happens even when I have not run any LabVIEW programme...Could anyone give me some advice?

    It sounds like you have a pretty full chassis but I don't see anything that should cause an immediate thermal shutdown.  Here are a few things to check:
    1 - Is your chassis operating at room temperature (ie 27 C)?
    2 - Are your PXI chassis fans on and unimpeded?  If not make sure they are on "High".  Also make sure the filters on the chassis fans are clean and there is air space behind the chassis to allow air flow. 
    3 - Are your 655x boards in adjacent slots?  If so try spacing them out or putting your other boards between them.  This should reduce the concentration of heat in your chassis.  Also verify that any unused PXI slots are covered with slot blocking (blank) panels.  This maintains ideal airflow inside of the chassis.
    4 - Do the three 655x boards work when they are the only devices in the chassis?
    The thermal shutdown is meant to prevent the 655x from operating outside of its legal thermal range.  This guarantees the device specifications can be met and ensures the product won't fail due to overtemperature.
