Problems accessing home network via FTP

I get a -50 error when I try to FTP thru my company's wired Ethernet network to my home network via the "Connect to Server" command in the Finder.
However, I can connect with my home network using FileZilla thru the same (wired) network.
And I can connect to my homework via my company's wireless network from the Finder.
Any ideas what might be blocking me from FTP'ing to my home network via the Finder and thru the wired network, and how to resolve?

At least a partial answer.
If I use the command FTP://username@IP Address, I'm able to connect. But I don't have to use my username with wireless.

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Settting Up Time Capsule to Access NAS Device Via FTP

Have had problems accessing my NAS via FTP when trying to connect to it from an outside network. Have never been able to access and login either anonymously or using one of the user names and passwords that I have set up from outside the home. When at home I am able to connect to the NAS via FTP on the LAN no problem so I am almost positive that I have not properly set up the Time Capsule.
My NAS also uses a web server feature that I am able to use by forwarding the proper ports on the Time CApsule and setting up a DynDNS account.
I would just use the web server feature but it's limited to accessing files under 2TB.
Would GREATLY APPRECIATE any advice on how to solve this problem.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It sounds like you need to configure your Time Capsule to do "port mapping" of FTP ports to your NAS. In AirPort Utility enter "manual setup" mode with the Time Capsule, then select the Advanced panel and the Port Mapping tab. Click the plus sign at the bottom, then choose "FTP Access" as the service. Supply the LAN IP address of your NAS. Now direct your FTP requests to the WAN address of the Time Capsule.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

Problem accessing BBC News via iPad 2, iPhone or web

Anybody else have these problems - and solutions?
I have continuous, but erratic problems accessing BBC News either through MacBook Pro, iPhone 3G or iPad 2 (64G Wi-Fi & 3G). Until a few months ago, I never had problems accessing BBC News via my computer. Now I often cannot access the site at all, and problems occur whether I use Google Chrome (11.0.696.57)or Safari (5.0.5). Erratically and less frequently, however, the pages load OK. I have no problem loading other news websites, e.g. CNN or Al Jazeera. I live in Spain. My internet provider is Movistar. I have an ADSL connection of 10Mb (maximum available here) and a wireless router. My MacBook Pro runs OS X 10.6.7.
When trying to access BBC through Google Chrome, I get the following message:
Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.bbc.co.uk
Try reloading: www.bbc.co.uk/news/
Additional suggestions:
Access a cached copy of www.bbc.co.uk/news/
Trying to access BBC on Safari, I get this message:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/” because Safari can’t find the server “www.bbc.co.uk”.
Using the BBC app on my iPad 2 and iPhone 3G, sometimes the BBC News loads OK, but more often, again, I get this message:
No network connection.
Sorry, you are currently offline and will not be able to view any updated content.
N.B. I am clearly NOT "offline" at this time, since I can open any other web page.

I'm trying to access BBC news on iPad 2 through the app. Have the same problems.
I wrote to BBC tech support complaining about my access problem through computer, iPhone and iPad. On May 2, I received the following reply:
Thank you for your email.
We are aware that some people in Spain are having problems accessing the
BBC News site. We have identified the problem to the Telefonica ISP.
We have contacted Telefonica and they have advised anyone with problems
to contact them directly
Kind regards,
BBC News website
Hence, I contacted Movistar (new name of Telefonica) tech support. I was told they knew nothing about the problem and tried to blame my computer for it. And then they hang up!!! Not impressed!!
I wrote to BBC again on May 19 asking WHO I should contact in Telefonica/Movistar, since their tech support staff claim not to know about the problem As of today, no reply from BBC, so still very frustrated!

Trying to get my Viera TX-P42S30B hooked up to me home network via Airport express with no luck.

Trying to get my Viera TX-P42S30B hooked up to my home network via Airport express with no luck.
Have tried both wired (network cable) and wireless to no avail, can't find much info online, any help appreciated !
Airport utility 5.5.3
Airport Extreme 802.11n
Airport Express 802.11g

The problem is that the AirPort Express (AX) is creating a subnet.
To prevent that, configure the AX to act as a bridge (so that it is NOT sharing a single IP address).

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

Connecting to existing home network via Airport Express

I had my Macbook Pro connected to our home router which allowed me access to our home network and the internet. On this network we had connected both my MBP and my flatmates PC (which is connected directly to the router via network cable).
Through this configuration i was able to both access the internet AND access files on the PC. I have recently purchased and airport express to eliminate the need for the network cord. Since setting up the AE i have been able to connect to the internet no problem by creating a wireless network and using all the automatic settings, however in the process i have lost my ability to connect to the home network and my flatmates computer. In fact, under "networks" in finder the home network has disappeared. Also in network prefences i am getting a warning saying "The cable for Ethernet is not plugged in".
Is anyone able to tell me what im doing wrong?
thanks ....

External Drive Problem on Home Network?

Hi,
Any chance someone might be able to help me sort out a problem with my home network or point me in the right direction for more info?
I've managed to set up my home network through a wireless router (3Com). I've got a PPC iMac, MBP and HP printer connected wirelessly on this network. I use the Finder/Go/Connect to server and smb://192.168.1.2 to connect. (I've no idea what smb means or how it works!) An icon also appears in the finder side bar under shared and I can connect this way aswell.
I bought a 320Gb/7200rpm Iomega Home Network Hard Drive - Ethernet (and Usb). I partitioned and reformatted it (Mac OS Extended-Journaled) to move my iPhoto, iTunes and Data files so these could be accessed from either computer (haven't moved the files yet!). This drive is wired through one of the ethernet ports on the router.
Although I can see and access this drive on the wireless network I can't see the partitions or add files and I can't see files I added as a test when wired/connected to the iMac through the Usb ports.
I had tested the drive before reformatting/partitioning it and could see and access it (copy/move files, etc,) on the wireless network.
Any ideas on what to do to be able to access and use the drive wirelessly or from both computers, wired to one on usb?
Thanks for any help,
David

Hello,
Purchased the 500G version of the Iomega NAS drive, having similar issues. Accessed the unit via its IP address, from Safari, and set-up some folders to be shared, and other parameters. But I can't seem to access the drive (mounting with SMB://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) seems to offer me grayed-out choices for those folders).
My guess is that we're required to use the SMB networking, since its built-into the unit. Was surprised to see in your post that it was easily formatted with a Mac OS (I presume you did this while connected via USB?)
Becoming inclined to try the PC management SW that came with unit (using a "bootcamp" PC) as opposed to trying to do any more "Mac-based" configuration. Note that if you need to re-format back to the original PC format you can do that via the IP address, from Safari.
I guess I'm not really being very helpful, but maybe you've figured out some of this since November.
Appreciate any "Lessons Learned".
Cheers,
Dave H.
P.S. I did find some info at the Iomega web site (see below). Maybe this will help?

Problem with "Home Network" in hub manager

Hi everyone,
I had a bit of an issue with my homehub this week where some prolonged decorating caused the hub to be unplugged for most of the day. When the hub was plugged in again it appeared to have performed a factory reset. Now over the past day or two it has had the odd issue that I've needed to sort. My main issue is that currently the "Home Network" option with the Home Hub manager will cause the router to reset and drop connection, however it is only this page. Also the router isn't responding to requests to bthomehub.home and I have to use the IP. I've done a factory reset through the hub manager and set up all my previous settings as were previously, but the lack of access to the "Home Network" page is still a problem and is getting to be frustrating because I have a chromecast unable to connect without being able to turn off smart setup.
Details of my home hub below, any input would be lovely.
BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6

have you tried a factory reset but using the recessed button on back and holding for 20/30 secs until the lights flash?

Apple TV Gen 2.. Terribly Slow Streaming From Wired Home Network via itunes Windows 7. Please Help

Hello all, I just signed up for this as i hope to get more results from here than i did waiting 4 hours for a call from apple today.
I recently purchased an Apple TV Gen 2.. installed it on my Samsung 40" HDTV via HDMI cable and also ran a network cable to my basement where my router, (Linksys 5 port router plus Wireless) is mounted on the wall beside the cable modem.
just to rule things out i will give some spec's and details before i get further into this.
My goal is to use my Desktop Homebuilt PC running windows 7 ultimate 64bit to store my Digital Movie Library and stream through itunes all of my digital media to my Apple TV located in another room. Both Apple TV and my desktop windows 7 PC are hard wired NOT WIRELESS.
My internet connection is cable and tested it this evening several times at 58.9 Megabits per second down and 8 Megabits per second down... (yes that is correct 58mb/s down. this equates to about 7.1 megabytes per second download speeds for reference.
Now just to rule out my 2 year old wireless router i went and purchased a brand new router today... Same results.
Now on to the problem details and my findings.
Using my Desktop PC wired to try and stream Itunes movies from the streaming is absurdly slow.. very slow... i have yet to wait to see what happens after 30 minutes of waiting for a Movie to start.. music also takes a long time to load...
Music... i can go to icloud funtion which i paid for today.. and click on the same song in icloud and the song starts almost instantly, so does music videos...
Also previously purchased TV shows starts playing from the cloud almost instantly as well even HD TV shows...
Trying to stream anything through my desktop windows 7 pc just doesnt work right...
I have narrowed this problem down to my desktop.. but can not figure out what the problem is...
using my macbook air 120GB SSD wireless over the same network, which i also have a mirrored copy of my itunes library for testing purposes... there is zero issues with streaming anything from my macbook air over the same network via wifi...
Also using my ipad 2 mirroring works flawlessly, even HD movies plays without a hitch... same goes for my iphone 4s
the only issues i am having are with my desktop and streaming from my itunes libary on it... i do not want to use my macbook air.. as that defeats the purpose of having apple TV.. in the future i plan on ripping my entire DVD / Blueray collection to a 3 TB hard drive and stream to my AppleTV... from my desktop computer storing my entire DVD / Blue Ray library digitally on the 3TB hard drive....
But i can not get this to work... i can see my itunes libary on my desktop.. i can play music and watch movies.. other than anything HD will not play... but everything takes a rediculously long time to load... i can download an entire movie with my 58mb's connection in the time it takes to load something streaming from my itunes libary on my desktop PC...
if anyone has any suggestions.. there may be something i have overlooked or i am missing. any input and or advice will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,

Ok.. in order to help other users i will post this..
I have resolved the issue... it was rather simple and dumb...
I never use windows media player ever.. i do not like it and can not stand it.. because in my case it was a brand new windows installation this fix will only apply to certain users..
because it was a brand new windows installation.. i had never clicked on windows media player.. apparently streaming settings are embedded into windows media player for the windows 7 OS...    in past installations that i have used for years.. i simply never ever clicked on windows media player, as i never had a reason to.. i use itunes for my ipad, iphone etc.. etc...
by accident and shear luck i decided to click on windows media player.. and of course go through the express settings.... after i did this all of my streaming problems to my apple tv gen2 disapeared... HD movies now start almost instantly... so as i stated above apparently there are media streaming settings embedded into the OS through windows media player... doesnt make any sense to me as i never use the program.. but whatever that fixed my issue..
so for any of you windows 7 people out there using a windows 7 pc as your itunes sync computer and using that itunes library to stream to your apple tv... make sure you have done the initial setup at min.. of windows media player.. i still left itunes as my default player.... everything now works flawlessly... infact for whatever reason.. even in an HD movie my network almost has half the movie synced now accross the bar before the movie starts so now my apple tv is blazing fast....
i have been struggling with this for 2 days now and simply never gave it a thought that windows media player would ever have anything to do with itunes streaming a totally seperate program.. but it did..
i hope this helps other people with similar problems.
good luck

Repeated Problems Accessing Secure Network - Which Pref Do I Delete?

More often than not, when I awaken my 20" iMac G5 from sleep or do a cold startup, it won't connect to my home network. It's an Airport Extreme closed network using WPA encryption. I'm running 10.4.6 on my G5. When this occurs, it tells me that none of my "trusted" networks can be located, do I want to logon to one of the other local networks in my area (there are a couple).
When I try to log on manually by selecting "Other" in the Airport menu bar dropdown menu, often it takes me 4-5 times to logon even though I know I'm entering the name, encryption level, and password correctly. The error I get is always "The selected network does not support this method of encryption" and gives me the option to try again. After a few repeats, I can get on.
I'm figuring that I have some corrupt preferences file or files somewhere. Do I delete them (if so, which ones?)? I've done both hard and soft resets, yet the problem has recurred.
Any suggestions for this annoying problem would be appreciated.
iMac G5, 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

On your Mac.......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Here you will see the connection order list for your Mac
Make sure that your preferred network is at the top of the list. If it is not, drag it there.
Click OK at the lower right of the window then click Apply and close the windows
Restart the Mac to see if it will connect to your preferred network now.

I am currently having problems accessing a network connection. I have reset my IPAD network connections and am still having a problem. I know that it is not my network because I can access the internet on my laptop computer.

I am having problems opening any email or apps on my IPAD 2. It says there is no network connection but I don't have any problems accessing the internet on my laptop.

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Problems uploading big files via FTP and downloading files

I've been having problems uploading big files like video files (.mov 12MB) via FTP to my website (small files like .html or .doc I can upload but it takes longer than usual). I'm using Fetch 4.0.3. as FTP. Same problems when downloading files via Bit Torrent. I recently moved to Spain, since then I seem to have the problem. But my roommate with a PC doesn't have that problem. Connecting to internet with Ethernet cable also didn't resolve the problem. I also tested it from a Starbucks coffee connecting to Internet from there but still couldn't upload that 12MB file to the FTP. The security settings for firewall are set to "allow all incoming connections". I didn't change any of my settings so I don't know what the problems could be. I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7) Any suggestions? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Much of what is available on Bittorrent is not legal, beta, or improperly labelled versions. If you want public domain software, see my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#NATIVE
for search engines of legitimate public domain sites.
http://www.rbrowser.com/ has a light mode that supports binary without SSH security.
http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ has ssh secure FTP.
Both I find are quick and a lot more reliable than Fetch. I know Fetch used to be the staple FTP program, but it grew too big for my use.

Unable to connect Panasonic HDTV to home network via Wi-Fi

I am unable to connect my Panasonic TC-L37E3 to the internet via Wi-Fi. I purchased the additional Wi-Fi adapter for the set, and while setting up the connection I am able to see my wireless network on the TV.
I have a basic WEP key, but I am unable to connect to the network via any of the connection options given. For every option there is a two minute timeout which is the eventual result of each connection attempt.
My router is 9100EM, with at 10M/2M service plan. I am unable to connect the TV directly to the router via CATV since it is a considerable distance.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can suggest any troubleshooting actions?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try switching the router off of WEP and onto WPA2. There is a WEP Setting regarding Authentication that allows for Open or Closed authentication, but even then, devices expect Open. WPA2 is faster and more secure, and it's a good bet that the TV will work once you switch the router over.
You can change the security settings by going to http://192.168.1.1/ and logging in using admin as the username, and your router's serial number as the password. In the Advanced Wireless Settings, you'll find the option for WPA2. Enable that option with Pre-Shared Key and set a Passphrase (if one is not already set), and then set up your devices to use that Passphrase (is case sensitive) once you apply the settings.
