Setting portrange directive for FTP

A few weeks ago I posted a question about FTP file listings timing out and got an excellent response from Camelot advising that I create a set of ports for passive FTP connection. This is done using the portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf. My Terminal skills are somewhat limited and I was unable to find the portrange directive. I am, however, good at following specific directions in the Terminal and would appreciate someone (Camelot?) detailing the commands to accomplish getting into and setting the portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf.
Thanks!

> My Terminal skills are somewhat limited and I was unable to find the portrange directive
That's not (necessarily) your terminal skills. By default there is no portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf - off hand I can't even remember if there is a ftpd.conf file at all. The issue is that if the file isn't there, or if a certain directive isn't in it, then ftpd uses the defaults - in this case any port number can be used.
You only need to add/edit the portrange directive if you want to use something other than the default.
So all you need to do is edit /etc/ftpd.conf using your favorite text editor to edit /etc/ftpd.conf and add a line:
<pre class=command>portrange all 60000 60010</pre>
to limit all connections to ports 60000 through 60010.
If you need specifics on driving a command line text editor, post back.

Any way to set "active mode" for FTP, or to use sFTP instead?

I have a web host that does not support passive FTP mode. I need to either set the mode to be "active mode", or I need to use secure FTP (sFTP). Is there any support for either of these within Muse?

Hi
By default , Adobe Muse FTP option uses " Passive Mode" , I am afraid its not possible to switch to "Active Mode" or to switch to Secure FTP. Alternatively, you may export the site locally using " Export as HTML " and then you may use third party FTP client to upload the site to your third party hosting using Active or Secure FTP.
Let me know if you have any further query.

Set maximum instances for FTP polling

We are in the process of implementing our first BPEL integration involving the FTP Adapter on 10.1.2. However, it is not scaling well.
The FTP Adapter is set up to poll an FTP folder containing XML output from our sales system. Each record is in its own file. We imagine that in the event of communication disruption, the files could accumulate to several thousand fairly quickly.
The problem we are seeing when testing for this scenario is that the adapter picks up all the files at the same time and spawns a separate request for each until it overwhelms the server.
How can we change our process to prevent this from happening?

Oracle will tell you that a correctly tuned BPEL engine will cope...
but for those of us in the real world the only option I can think of that may work in 10.1.2.x is to limit the number of available threads (dspMaxThreads), and because that's a domain wide setting you'd need to create a seperate domain just for the processes with adaptors you need to limit.
I've read that in 10.1.3 you can specify process level thread limits.

Setting up router for ftp filezilla server

I want to share some files with family using filezilla ftp. I have set up my one computer running xp pro as a server using filezilla.
What I am having problems with is getting a complete port forwarding circle back to the client software. I have port 21 forwarded
to the computer that is acting as a server. However under passive mode i cannot complete this return. How do I set up my actiontec router to do this?
I am using the routers external address and the client is coming into my computer but the port (I think) needs to change on the return route. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is this correct?

CS3 brushes w/Angle jitter set to 'Direction' crash ps everytime.

For months my custom brushes have been crashing ps in under 12 brush strokes. At first I though it might be because the TPL files were corrupt. I went back into CS2 and converted all the brush TPL files to ABR and reimported to CS3 -no change.
Then support suggested one of the files was corrupt so I went back to CS2 and save the brushes out one by one and brought them into CS3 one by one testing and taking notes on each.
In every crash the brush that was used had 'Angle jitter' set to 'Direction'. I dble checked my findings by using a default brush first with nothing but 'smoothing' checked. This worked beautifully for over an hour with no crash. Then I saved the file and changed the Angle jitter on the brush to 'Direction'. It took only 7 brush strokes to crash ps with only 'photoshop has unexpectedly quit' as an error message.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Can anyone else reproduce the issue or is this unique to me?
I use Mac OSX 10.5.6 with CS3 design premium I have 23Gb RAM and a 1TB HD
Please forgive me if this has been discussed I searched the FAQ's and the current posts first. I didn't find anything that fit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

On a hunch I installed the intuos on my old G5 with CS2 to see if it was an issue with the intuos and maybe not CS3. I could paint with the brush set to Direction until my heart was content -no problems at all.
I tried to install my old graphire on the Mac Pro with CS3 but it wont work with the intel chip.
So instead I went back to the Mac mouse and happily scribbled away with the brush set to Direction for as long as my wrist could take it.
Now I know that the problem is with the Intuos 3 on CS3 but I installed the latest drivers a week ago.
Is there anyone that could test this out for me? Or is it unique to me?
I'll try reinstalling the tablet software, maybe something went wrong the first time.

How can I set the direction of motion before number of steps?

Hi all,
There's probably some really obvious answer to this that I'm just missing, but I need to separate (delay) the signal for direction change from the clock pulse train when driving a stepper motor. I'm using Labview 6.1 (oldish system) and PCI-7334 motion control card and basically need a way to set the direction for the motion before the number of steps.
Thanks.

Would it be acceptable to make a first extra step ?
Make extra step in the direction of the movement (to set the DIR output to the desired value)
Wait some time
Make movement
Another solution would be to use a digital output of the motion (or some DAQ) card instead of the DIR output. This gives you the ability to set its level and to wait before sending the pulses. However, this wouldn't allow to use the reference (home, limit switch) search functions of the motion library.
A last recommendation would be to post your question to the motion board. Then Jochen will chime in and everything will become clear...

How to set hostname using dynamic binding for FTP, AQ, SMTP adaptersin BPEL

I am using Oracle BPEL and SOA 11g and my requirement is to send files and messages to different destinations ( hostname ) using dynamic JCA bindings. All hostname to be used other related information for destination is stored in database. My BPEL flow should retrieves the hostnames using one webservice and then set the hostname in FTP, AQ and SMTP adapters using dynamic JCA bindings.
I came across http://rahullahiri.blogspot.in/2011/09/configuring-ftp-adapters-in-oracle-soa.html and http://www.soabyte.com/2010/11/jca-dynamic-partnerlinks-in-soa-11g.html but unsure if we can dynamically set the hostname also for the adapters mentioned in the BPEL flow.
Can you please advice how it can be achieved in BPEL and what is the best way?
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi,
Its good that u pasted the complete log file. In your environment you have to run this upgrade tool only once from any of the middle tier.
And with respect to your error that u got in precheck is quite simple. All u have to do is just run this script from by connecting to portal schema using sqlplus.
Run dropupg.sql
Location-------- /raid/product/OraHome_1/upgrade/temp/portal/prechktmp/dropupg.sql
Later you re-run the upgrade tool and let me know the status.
Good luck

Working directly off FTP server in CS6

I just migrated from CS3 to CS6 and will be a cloud subscriber as of tomorrow I guess with it's launch, assuming it does launch on time.
I'm going to preface and say that I admit that my workflow is not the most ideal and is more commando than it should be but it IS my workflow.
In the case of a new client, completely new site (just for example but I would be similar on a live existing site):
In CS3 I would set up a new site and choose FTP, pop in all the credentials and info. I would then connect. I will have already set up the CMS we use and I could mass upload any other files I needed using Filezilla. I would then use CS3 Dreamweaver to just work on the files directly off FTP. I know behind the scenes it was downloading the files to some kind of temp / cache folder but I didn't care, ultimately when I hit save, it would automatically put the file up on the server.
In CS6 it seems like I have to bring the files down off FTP to a local folder of my choosing, then make my changes, then save, but that's only a local save. So I have to manually click Put to put the file back up on the server. I'm not seeing in the settings something that says roughly "don't bother saving locally, just put them up on the server."
I work in a team of all of 2 people, we hardly ever bump into each other working on the same site so all the check in check out nonsense is not required for us. Is there any way I can set CS6 to behave more like CS3 in that regard? I really don't need to choose a local directly to bring files down once they are on the server. Our server has like umpteen layers of backups and redundancy, having the files locally does me no good at all and just eats up space. Even when working on existing sites, I'm not so worried about being commando and doing things on a live site. I just want my workflow back
Thanks!

As far as going commando it's been debated a long time. So my suggestion there is to file a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
WIth the upload on saving, that feature is in the Site definition. Go to the Remote definition that you setup and click on the Advanced tab. You can set DW to automatically upload on save there.

Setting up and accessing FTP

Hi there, new to iMac and Lion after 30 years of being shackled to every incarnation of DOS and Windows that has been, yada yada yada.
I have a project I would like to get underway and would be appreciative of any pointers, how too’s etc. So I guess first up I will tell you what it is I actually want to do:
I wish to be able to set aside a dedicated folder on my iMac Lion HDD that my family or myself can access across the internet.
What I know: I have Googled and learned how to unhide the hidden FTP server in Lion. But that’s it, there are no lights (to indicate it's on) or buttons or anything else to help me setup what files/folders can be shared or who can have access to them. I know that anyone wanting access to this folder will have to use an FTP client and know my static IP address. I know, I think, that I then have to somehow tell my router to direct traffic for these FTP requests to my local IP.
My questions, to start with:
Can I set up a special “FTP user” that has access to the FTP folder and not my computer? i.e. I would like Fred to have access to my shared folder but I wouldn’t want Fred to be able to log into my computer if he were in front of it.
Am I correct in what I have said above re what I know?
How might I go about setting up this user access or anonymous access?
How might I go about sharing a folder for the purpose of FTP?
Or maybe there any third party software available that might hold my hand and help me set all this up?
I would be much obliged for any pointers anyone can offer, many thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
Mike

Well thank you for the comments and suggestions above. I have used DropBox but it has it's limitations, not only in size but also bandwidth allowance which enforces a three day lockout if you exceed. Terminal work is for young smart folk and not old far_ts like me. However, all is not in vein. On Googling my quest I stumbled across a company who produces a little gem of a program called "Fast File Sharing Web Server" (they must have stayed up all night thinking that name up) and I had it setup in just a few mouse clicks and was serving files securely in only minutes. Software cost just $15.00 which I thought well worth it.
Anyway, just thought I would mention it in case other folk were trying to do same.
Cheers,
Mike.

Setting up E3200 for TV Flux

Hi all,
I do have a problem setting up the above mentioned router with my French Internet/TV provider.
The French Internet/TV access is provided through, what they call "Freebox". I have the v6 version, which exists of 2 parts, a server and a player. The server is equiped with 4 Ethernet ports and has a build-in NAS of 250 GB for storing and accessible for everybody on out home network. The server is connected via Ethernet to the player, which in turn is connected via hdmi to my TV.
In order to extend my network, I used an old Belkin 54g Wi-Fi router without a problem. Since the wi-fi died on the Belkin, I replaced it by the E3200.
I also want to use the wireless capabilities of the E3200 in our living room.
Internet access, through cable and/or Wi-Fi works without a problem with this setup. The only problem is: I don't have access to the TV channels. I am getting a popup on my TV saying that the Ethernet cable is disconnected! The cable is fine since it works with my Belkin.
The configuration is the following:
ADSL cable to the Freebox server => port 1 connected to port 1 of the E3200 via a crossover cable => port 2 of the E3200 connected via a straight cable to the freebox player => hdmi cable between player and TV
Asking around, it seems that the Freebox server is using an encrypted VLAN100 connection to the player for TV channels. The problem must be there. But I don't have a clue how to setup a port - if possible - to handle the TV flux.
I know a bit about hardware what concenrs pc's, but my knowledge about networking and addressing ports is rather poor.
What I did so far is the following:
Since the Freebox server has its IP set at 192.168.0.254, I setup my E3200 at 192.168.0.5 with sub mask 255.255.255.0 and disabled DHCP. As I said before, it works for internet and connecting laptops through the router ports. But my knowledge stops there.
What I would like to know if it is possible, and, if so, somebody could help me setting up/directing one port in a VLAN mode in order to get access to my TV channels and leave the other ports for normal internet access. Just a small tuto with an example would do.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Eddy

If you want to setup the Linksys E3200 as a secondary router, set it to Bridge Mode. Also make sure the cord the Ethernet cord on the TV is properly connected because that might be the issue. The TV wouldn’t say “Network Cable Unplugged” if it is properly connected. Follow the steps on the following link to know how to set the router to Bridge Mode. The example is for a different Linksys device but it applies the same process.

Hello
I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Setting Sales Tax for in State ONLY??

What we have here is a failure to communicate... Either it is a language problem with support or they can't explain the feature.
All the answers I 'm getting are NOT answers to the question I'm asking. And the document is not clear either.
I have clients who sell products who ONLY need to charge sales tax to customers in the same state (PA) but BC is charging 6% to all customers regardless of location. We realize now that we should not have set the tax on individual products to PA 6% (although that is VERY counterintuitive), and we set up our tax code for the USA with all states being zero and pa being 6%. Tech cannot tell me how I should be setting taxes globally for products. IT is almost as if this feature does not exist:
ME: No, This is not acceptable nor does it make any sense.
In the USA, for most companies, we only charge sales tax to In state customers, not out of state customers. Therefore we need to be able to set up a global tax NOT on the product and NOT on the Country, but upon the state ONLY.
If this option is not available, it is a worthless system.

There are two proper ways to add tax.
1. Add tax to shipping options: In this case, you create tax codes and shipping options too. Now, you add tax code to the shipping option as per the customer's destination country. Add a shipping option, and select the tax code in the shipping option. This is the more widely used method of applying tax. From what I had seen, you didn't create any shipping options yet, hence the confusion.
2. Add tax directly to the product: This is what you had done. This will, as you have already mentioned, apply the tax to the product, irrespective of the customer's address details.
Hope this clarifies the situation.
Cheers.
You can set it as not applicable. If you apply tax to the product level, it will apply the tax to all orders for that product. To apply tax to all orders regardless of the visitor's location, you can apply tax at a product level. Check this document:http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/tax-codes.html

Your question is really inappropriate to the Apple Discussions. The AD is a user-to-user forum for helping with technical problems and questions for Apple products. Sales taxes is certainly not one of those topics.
However, to answer your question. If your friend purchases a Mac in the Apple store or if you purchase it via the online store taxes will be charged. Sales taxes in the US are typically between 6-8 percent of the purchase cost depending upon the state in which it is purchased. There are a few states that do not levy sales taxes such as Nevada and Montana.
In addition when your friend takes the computer into your country you will likely be charged with import duties and taxes as well. If it's your expectation that this ploy will save you some money I wouldn't count on it.
