Remore access via ftp to homehub.

Hi,
I have a number of site that backup and thn download the backup file via ftp.
I am unable to access my bt homehub 3 and then connet to my NAS so that the file can be downloaded.
I have tried entering the ip address of the hub and the sub directory on my NAS - this just fails. (I believe this should be possible without the need to register for a dyns service).
Any ideas, please?
Cheers,
Mike

You can only use your public Internet address, as that is the only one routable over the Internet.
As your public IP can change, due to the home hub disconnecting, or the PPP session being refreshed by BT, you need to be able to keep track of this address.
That is why a DDNS service is needed. If your public IP changes, the home hub will report this change to your DDNS service, and make sure that your host name always points to it.
Your home hub needs to be configured to allow this to work.

Remote access via ftp

Hi.
I am trying to set up remote access to my mac so I can upload files to it remotely from a PC. I want the simplest free solution as I simply want occasional access to back up files from my work PC to my home mac. I have got 90% of the way, but fallen at the final hurdle.
I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router
I am trying to access my imac via ftp as this appears to be the simplest route. So far I have done the following:
(a) Followed the advice in "Mac OSX Missing Manual" and portforwarding.com: i.e. ...
(b) Set up a static IP address on my mac through system preferences. This is working as I can access the internet fine.
(c) Turned off "Block anonymous internet requests" in the router settings
(d) Set up port forwarding of port 21 using the static IP address I have set up
(e) In system preferences, turned on file sharing using ftp
(f) Tested access using Safari - typed in my local static IP address as specified in the file sharing ftp box in the sharing section of system preferences. I logged in with my main account log in info. This worked - I immediately got a finder window pop up with my folders visible. The ftp server was also mounted on my desktop.
(g) Tested access using Safari via my public IP address. This was much slower. I eventually got the login box, but when I entered the same main account login info I eventually got an error message saying password / username were incorrect. They weren't, as I have tried this several times. (I don't have access to a PC on another network to test that way.)
Very grateful for any help.
Thanks

I am not sure which type of FTP Apple uses but this will give you the differences the in firewall policy for active and passive. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html you will need to set the firewall accordingly.
You may also have problems with the firewall in use at work, it depends on how its been locked down.
It depends on how much time you have to spend on the problem. There are free remote control applications that include file transfer, have a look at this site http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx , there is a free version available but I have not used this software. There are other similar products some free, some cost.
If you cannot get any answers to your question at least there are other esiaer options open to you.

So TC can not be accessed via FTP?

I am currently set up fine with a router, external hard drive for backups, etc.
My new need is to backup an offsite computer, and I want to do so via ftp (or sftp). I can buy a network based hard drive that supports FTP which are inexpensive. I was hoping to justify buying a TC to take over everything, but I can not find anywhere evidence that TC supports FTP access.
This is unfortunate. Unless I am wrong and someone can correct me, but due to this limitation I won't be buying one.

You're right, you can't use FTP directly to a Time Capsule. But sftp works for sure if it's mounted to the desktop of a computer on the LAN. But there's no ftp or ssh daemon running on the Time Capsule. Just AFP over TCP and, I believe, SMB.

Can't Access Site Via FTP

I'm not sure if this is an issue related to my Airport Extreme or my Virgin Superhub...
I have a Superhub that is set to modem mode connected to my AE and there are a couple of websites that I am unable to access via FTP. (I use Transmit as I'm on OSX 10.7.4 and am able to connect to several other websites.) I have only noticed this recently, and can only think it may have been since the 10.7.4 update.
When I am NOT using the AE and the Superhub supplies my wi-fi I CAN connect to these sites. Does anyone know what may be causing the issue?

It can take quite a long time to publish a site. Mine takes more than an hour. And I don't see anything moving in the publishing wheel for about twenty minutes, then slowly the clockwork starts moving. Depending on the size of your site you may have to let it publish (and don't let your mac go to sleep while it is publishing) for more than an hour.

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.

FTP access via Window browsers

I've been struggling with Windows users accessing our FTP site via their browser. Without including the username within the URL it's considered an anonymous login attempt. I don't like this method since it makes the usernames public domain. Can anything be done short of allowing anonymous access?
ftp://@ftp.domainname.com (anonymous login)
ftp://username:@ftp.domainname.com (works but reveals username)

Hi Steve,
Go to the FTP Server settings, you will find the anonymous login is checked. Please uncheck this option to avoid anonymous login.

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.

FTP access via Time Capsule

Hi
looking for help in this. My TC has the address 192.168.1.1 (I guess this acts as the router). My ibook has the address 192.168.1.3 (set by DHCP). Using manual set up in the Airport Utility I go to Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings > Add FTP Access and put 192.168.1.3 as the private IP Address. However, when I try to access by FTP using Transmit I get "server closed connection" error message.
Any ideas ?

I don't have a Time Capsule to test, but if you go into the preferences panel called sharing, and turn on the feature called "remote login" this will enable ssh and sftp. Do that on the one Mac where you want to share out the Time Capsule disk. On Time Capsule, I assume you get a similar software GUI as with a regular Airport Extreme, right? If so, open up the Airport Utility on the Mac that is authorized to make changes to the Time Capsule device and go into the manual set up. Click on the "Advanced" icon (its looks like a gear symbol) in the AirPort utility's GUI, then click on the NAT tab. Click on "port mapping" and then click on the plus "+" symbol and, using the pull down menu, select "remote login - ssh". This should enable port 22 on your TC. You would log into the same account on your Mac as you do when you boot up, so use that account and password.
I hope this helps.

How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
This is driving me insane.
I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

Hi,
I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
OSX 10.7.5
I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Thanks,

Cannot connect to cFP-2120 via FTP

I am using several cFP-2120 running LV RT 8.2.1 with the FieldPoint drivers version 5.0.1. for process control and data acquisition. All data are logged to a file and broadcasted via network-shared variables. The data files can be downloaded using an external ftp client. Lately, two of our units have been giving me some trouble as I sometimes can not access the cFP2120s via ftp. I can ping the unit on the network though, all programs are still running and I can still access the network-shared variables. Only a reset of the controller seems to solve the issue.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Volker

Kyle,
Thanks again for contributing.
> Can you only connect one time after you reset and it stops working if you try to reconnect shortly there after or does it work for awhile and then eventually it stops working?
After we reset the controller it seems to always work for awhile before it stops working again.
> Are you using the controller to perform any other tcp communications with an other servers, besides the network shared variables?
Our system is configured as a slave on a Modbus TCP network and is queried typically once a minute.
> Whats your memory usage on the cFP? Do you have the System State Publisher software loaded? Try connecting with DSM and see how much CPU and Memory usage you are using.
No, I havent done this yet. I think this was instroduced with LV8.6? I just upgraded to the latest LV version and will investigate. This will take a week though.
> Can you check the timeouts in MAX to make sure they didn't get changed? Right click on the cFP and select Communication Timeout Settings. From stock they should be 15000 ms.
The timeout in MAX is still 15000ms.
> Are these cFP dedicated to just this one task or are they reconfigured from time to time?
We only reconfigure these units when we upgrade the software. This has been less frequent lately and happens maybe once a year.
All the best,
Volker

Can no longer connect to Mac index via FTP

The other computer on my LAN is running Ubuntu Karmic and I can FTP to it no problem. Used to be able to FTP to my Mac no problem until I tried this free firewall software which claimed to have a decent GUI. I made sure to remove the software completely using the TrashMe app when I decided it was useless, but have not been able to reconnect from my Linux machine to Mac via FTP. I can ping the Mac no problem and have also gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps: turned off the firewall and tried - nothing, turned the firewall back on - some story, restart, rebooted router, release/renew IP (not that that would help but what the hey).
Anyone else experienced similar issues? Any suggestions as to next steps?

Hi. Try this:
- Open System Preferences
- Open Sharing (not sure if is this name)
- Activate Share Files (or file sharing...)
- In Options button, you got to check FTP and the users (below) that will be able to access
Voilá... hope this works for you!

PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter

I have a scenario where PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter, this zip file contains a number of txt files that I need to process, and the content of one of them send it to an ECC, now I'm using the PayloadZipBean Module in the Sender FIle Adapter, and I have two things if I use the Message Protocol as File, I get a Payload for each txt file in the zip file, but this payload has no structure, and if I use the File Content Conversion I get an XML strcuture with only one field and a strange string in it, and somewhere in this string the names of the files I assume all the content of the zip file, can anyone help on how could I achieve what I need that is to pull the zip file via SAP PI, then unzip it, and with the content of one of the txt files send it to an ECC via ABAP Proxy, thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Raul Alvarado

Hello Raul,
you can do it in futher way ...
pickup zip file and simply extract and dump it in another temp folder (can use scripts on OS level).
@ then Use another sender communication channel to pickup all these text file .
for further clarification you can use these links also. -
