Safari and FTP

Safari 6.0.2
OS X 10.8.2
I typed:
ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]//[email protected]:[email protected]
onto Safari, and hit enter. Safari can't open page.
Using Chrome and Firefox, i was able to access the ftp contents on their browser windows.
I then tried:
ftp://xx%40domainname.com:[email protected]@domainname.com
on Safari. This time a window opens up with the option of connecting as Guest or Registered User. I've tried both, but neither worked.
Kindly help/advise.
Thank you.

safari doesn't browse ftp, it hands it off to Finder or whatever app is the default.
direct links to files rather than directories should open or download in Safari (do here on 5.1.7)
eg:
ftp://anonymous:[email protected]/ftp-instruct.txt
should open in Safari, whereas
ftp://anonymous:[email protected]/
opens a Finder window

  • IWeb internal hyperlinks not working on Safari and Firefox

    I've just finished creating my website using iweb and hosting it through an FTP server. However all but one of the hyperlinks to internal pages don't work when viewing it on Safari or Firefox on either a PC or a MAC. They just appear as text and you can't hover over them. External hyperlinks appear to work as normal.
    In addition blog entries i've created aren't shown in their entirety on Internet Explorer. You can access the blog using the 'Archives' link on safari or firefox (the only internal link that does work) and i can see the complete entry but this is not the case of IE. It is just missing half of the text.
    What am i doing wrong? I really want to get these bugs fixed asap.

    Ah, good call. I will try that when I return home. Strange that safari and firefox would have an issue with this but not internet explorer. Seems so simple but still getting my head around working a website, thanks. Will comment if it doesn't work.
    But can anyone explain to me why the only blog entry "shooting on an iphone" would not appear in it's entirety on iternet explorer 9, when it appears on fine on safari, firefox and iternet explorer 7 & 8. It just stops at the heading 'lessons learned'

  • Safari and Internet Ex Unable To Trace Servers  -  again......

    I'm reduced to helplessness with Safari and now Internet Explorer as well at the moment with a repeat of the failure I reported yesterday. I can't get anywhere on the Net. At the moment I'm using OS9.2.2 with O.E. to get this message out.
    Can anyone throw some light on the reason why I've got such a problem.... ?

    You assume people know what information you posted yesterday, and therefore are able to correlate the two messages.
    The first question is whether this is an intermittent thing. The fact that you have this "at the moment" implies that it comes and goes, which is much harder to troubleshoot than when it doesn't work at all.
    You mention two web browsers so we can assume you have a web-browsing problem, but what about other protocols? does your mail work? what about ftp? Can you ping and traceroute to other sites (try using Network Utility to test)?
    Also, what error message do you get when you try to use Safari. Very often there'll be some clue in the message itself.
    In short, there are many potential reasons why you might be having problems, but there isn't enough information yet to enable anyone to answer which one(s) you're experiencing. For pointers consider DNS settings (incorrect settings would prevent you from performing name lookups) and proxy server settings (incorrect proxy settings would block specific protocols from working).

  • IWeb, Finder and FTP Uploads...

    Hey folks...
    I was wondering if anyone was aware of an app that integrates FTP uploading capabilities straight into Finder - as opposed to use a third party FTP application to upload files.
    I would like to use iWeb to publish websites to my website's FTP account - via FTP, by using Finder (But, obviously Finder is only read-only FTP access).
    Does an application like this exist?

    I don't know if this solves your problem, but I connect to an FTP server through Safari and it mounts on my dekstop - thus Finder. If I type the line below in Safari (substituting my information where it says "username, password, and FTP host), then the FTP volume will mount on my desktop (after a few seconds), and appear in the Finder. Depending upon on your privileges you should be able to drag files in and out of the window (or the volume in the finder).
    The line looks like this (type in the URL of Safari):
    ftp://username:password@hostname
    Again, not sure if this is what you want.

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • How to inspect web app using safari and ipad and USB cable?

    On my mac I have
    OSX 10.10.2 (14C109)
    Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18)
    On my Ipad 2 (MC769X/A) i have
    OS 8.1.3 (12B466)
    Safari Web Inspector "on"
    Javascript "on"
    There are no "privacy" or "private mode" settings that I can see.
    I physically connected my iPad to my Mac and chose that I trust this computer. Confirmed that it's connected by looking in iTunes (and quit iTunes afterwards).
    I opened a web app on my iPad that's running on my local server, and then opened safari on the mac.
    I then opened the Develop menu and can see the ipad. The menu does not contain any other entries other than "Use for development..."
    My mac also shows "No inspectable applications", whatever that means.
    If I choose "Use for development" under the iPad menu, nothing at all happens and the menu item disappears.
    To get the iPad sub-menu back again I have to quit Safari and then re-open it.

    I'm sorry I don't buy this as an answer because:
    it's for a question that is 2 years old and for older devices. My devices are all the latest version
    I have XCode and I'm a member of the develop program already.
    XCode does not offer a way to create a project or other pairing between safari on the mac and on the ipad, since that is a built in feature of Safari
    It works with IOS Simulator, but not with the actual device even when all correct steps have been followed to pair / connect them
    The problem I'm trying to resolve works in IOS Simulator but does not work on an actual device.

  • IPAD 4 screen flicker in App store as well as browsing via safari and vdownloader. I tried restore and reset, but still the same...

    Hi everyone,
    I just have my new Ipad4 last January 27, I noticed that while downloading a certain Apps in App Store then scrolling to look for more application, my screen would flicker like flashing or something blinking on it. I don't know what happened, why is it like that? Is it somewhat connected with hardware problem or does Ios 6 version still have a bug? I've tried using safari and other video downloader like vdownloader and I tried searching in youtube, still the same dilemma, it flicker also while browsing some video. Is it hardware problem? I already reset and restore my IPAD thou its a new one still the same dilemma happened again. What should I do? It was a gift for me and I'm really worried about it. Hope you could help me regarding it. Thank you so much.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Attachments dont download from Gmail in Safari, They disappear,I even tried re-downloading Safari and that download disappeared, it is not in my downloads folder, I actually searched in finder for the file and it is nowhere on my computer.  Please help!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

    Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
    On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
    On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
    On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
    What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    and
    defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
    but that did not help,

    I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
    PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
    It may work when re-enabled

  • How can I correct the problems I've been experiencing lately  with drop-down menus in general as well as and leading of text. It 's occurring  on both Safari and Firefox browsers.

    The above headline pretty much covers the problems.
    Access to the drop down menus is erratic.  Sometimes it's problem-free, but at other times it's impossible to see the options on the menu, or if they are visible, it's impossible to effect a change by clicking on one of them.  The times I notice it most is when I am trying to change fonts or font sizes, but  it occurs at other times, as well.
    It's also frustrating to have to deal with double spacing (for example, when describing items on eBay).  Sometimes the text flows  normally,  but if I force a  return, the text that follows usually is double-spaced.
    Often,  the justification option does not work either.
    Occasionally, I can  get around one problem or another by switching back and forth between Safari and  Firefox, but eventually, the original problem resurfaces.
    Because it happens on both browsers,  eBay tech support is inclined to think the problem is in my software. (I'm inclined to agree.)
    Although they have suggested clearing  the history in FF, that option must have been relocated, because  it'sno longer under the "Tools"  menu, where it was  in the past. I also can't find  the clear  your cache option on OS Safari or 10.8.3.

    I don't think it'd help much but clearing history is now in the History menu, and setting FF to clear history on exit is near the bottom of the Privacy tab of FF Preferences.
    Also, if you don't have the Develop menu in Safari, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.” You'll find "Empty Caches" there.

  • My iPhone 5c won't connect to home internet. I have an Actiontec router and my phone shows that I'm connected but no IP address comes up on my phone and Safari and other Apps state that I'm not connected to the internet.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
    My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.

    I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer.  Try this: http://themiddleofthestreet.blogspot.com/2013/11/if-your-iphone-5s-wont-connect- to-wifi.html

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
    OS:10.7.2
    Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

    I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
    Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
    I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

  • Problem with safari and wallpaper etc

    I have a problem with safari and dashboard wallpaper... After rebot i loose history and topsites from safari. My deskboard wallpaper swiched back to this http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs28/f/2008/097/f/8/MacbookPro_Wallpaper_by_desingsblp.jpg
    Whats is wrong with my mac?

    HI and welcome...
    Remove that particular desktop wallpaper. That's probably what's causing your to lose History and TopSites.
    Open a Finder window. Now open the Library folder then the Safari folder. See if that wallpaper is hiding in the Safari folder. Mine does that also. If it's there, move it to the Trash but don't empty the Trash.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) Now relaunch Safari. If History and TopSites are ok, then empty the Trash. It's that image causing the problem.
