Setting up FTPS on FMS

I have setup a FMS (Windows 2008) in my classroom and would like to transfer files via DW to it from home. I'm currently using VPN, but it's too slow and DW freezes often while trying to upload files. My IT guy says he can open port 22 for me once I get the FTP service operating. Is it already installed? I'm using Apache for my web files. Do I need to download FTP software?

Completely off topic for this forum... but, yes you have to install FTP software on your server to enable that ability. It is completely separate from FMS.

How to set Up FTP on win8?

How to set Up FTP on win8?
I tried step by step from the below link and then when I was done I tried to test it. But I cannot open FTP site . So what am I missing?

The Mac OS X Server Security manual has a discussion of setting up ftp and the share points and related. Here's the [Tiger Security|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/TigerServer_Security_Config021507.pdf] manual, and here's [Leopard|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/LeopardServer_Security_Configv10.5.pdf].
If you'd prefer a description here rather than the manuals, what follows are the basics.
I'm here assuming you have a firewall between the Internet and your server; a firewall attached to the DSL modem. If you have an external static IP and an internal private (192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, etc) via NAT, you'll need a firewall with reasonable port-mapping capabilities. If you're static and public throughout, you need only poke holes; you probably don't need the port-mapping stuff. (Or you could have a direct connection to your Mac OS X box; I don't usually configure things that way.)
First, open your firewall and allow access via the ftp ports (port 20 outbound and port 21 inbound, typically) and open up the ephemeral port range.
Then create a user and directory via whichever service you are using -- Workgroup Manager, Open Directory or otherwise. Within Workgroup Manager, you can set up share points; basically locations that the ftp daemon is permitted to touch.
Then wander into Server Admin and enable the ftp server.
Now if I wanted to do this without exposing my cleartext username and cleartext password over every hotel and coffee shop LAN I might use (and I'm not kidding; "ftp security" is an oxymoron), I'd create a username and its directory per your usual means, use Server Admin to configure and launch sftp daemon, and open up port 22 at the firewall. In my experience, sftp is easier to administer, and operates with ssh and with PKE authentication, and it doesn't post your password to Craigslist -- and beyond discussions of the (lack of) security, ftp tends to be somewhat fragile; it really gets into trouble traversing firewalls.
Given my experience with ftp over the years, here is [why I don't want to use ftp|http://64.223.189.234/node/530] -- sftp is just so much easier to deal with, and to secure.

Really weird problem setting up FTP in Dreamweaver MX 2004 for Mac.

I'm new to Dreamweaver for all that I've had it for years. Been using GoLive. Using Dreamweaver that is part of Studio MX 2004. I'm trying to set up FTP. Tell Dreamweaver to Create New Dreamweaver Site. Name the site. Don't use server technology. Pick the folder where I want my files. Tell it I want to use FTP to connect to my server. Give it the name of the host server. Tell it which folder I want to use for my files on the server. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I type the url for the folder in the field, as I type "html" it draws a strike through the "l" in "html".
I've tried typing the url in Text Edit, then copy and paste into the field. I get the same result as if I had just typed it in the field.
Deleted and re-installed Dreamweaver by itself. No difference.
Deleted and re-installed everything associated with Studio MX 2004. No difference.
Ran TechTool to see if there might be a disk problem but that came back fine. Have not run my anti-virus, ClamXav, yet. Don't have any anti-spyware software.
Running Mac OS 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 iSight.
I know just how oddball this problem sounds and I realize that I could use Fetch or Cyberduck but I would like my software to work. Anybody have any ideas?

Wiped and re-installed my computer. Now that part of Dreamweaver works. Some bug somewhere that's now been eliminated. Now it has a new problem that I will ask about in a new thread.

Problem setting up FTP

I need some help setting up FTP. This may not be the right forum so feel free to redirect me.
It has been a while since I tried to set up an FTP service on my Mac, certainly before 10.4.11 and before I went to my new u-verse router. I have some basic TCP/IP knowledge but things just aren’t clicking for me. I have done all the things I have done before but now when I connect to the FTP server on the local network, FTP tells me I am in Extended Passive Mode. What IS extended passive mode and how do I get back to active (interactive) mode? I have read the man pages and the section on ftp in my UNIX handbook. The question may be to simple for the books to address but it is not simple enough for me to solve. The server is on 100bT and the client is on WiFi from the same router. After I get FTP working on the local net I can redirect the port on my router for incoming internet access.

Hi myplace,
In extended passive mode, the FTP server operates exactly the same as passive mode, however it only transmits the port number (not broken into high and low bytes) and the client is to assume that it connects to the same IP address that was originally connected to.

Setting up FTp with PureFTP

Hi
I am trying to set up FTP access so that my Lab can download files from me. I have read a post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=449518&tstart=75) regarding almost exactly the scenario that I am attempting which was resolved successfully,but I am still having troubles.
I am running 10.4.6 on a G4 933. I have a Linksys WAG54G router.
I have attempted to set the ports as per the instructions in PureFTP but seem not to be getting anywhere.
A friend that is attempting to log in to test it for me gets a password and username dialog bos but it just dissappears and nothing happens or, another friend just gets a message saying that the info is not correct.
I have tried disabling the Mac OSX firewall and with it going, and it seems not to make a diff.
Can anyone walk me through it from start to finnish?
Thanks very much
Craig

Let's make your G4 ready to tango:
1. Drop TextWrangler (you downloaded earlier) in you Applications folder and Open it (don't check to install the command line tools, you won't need 'em)
2. From Text Wrangler-->File-->Open Hidden navigate to the /private/etc/ directory and open hosts file. You'll get a message that hosts file is owned by root, click yes to edit it
a default hosts file looks like this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
3. Add the IPs of your computers and the name(s) you wan to call them (same as SystemPreferences-->Sharing), for example:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 router
192.168.1.5 michelle
192.168.1.6 Left Machine
192.168.1.7 G5
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
Separate IP addresses from computer names with a "tab" not space. Also, unix doesn't like spaces between names so 192.168.1.6 <tab> Left Machine gives 2 aliases for the computer @192.168.1.6, one is Left and the other is Machine. If you want one name for each computer use "-" (i.e. 192.168.1.6 <tab> Left-Machine)
Be careful not to delete any of the default lines
4. Save your hosts file (you'll be asked for your Admin password),
5. Open Utilities-->Terminal and type: lookupd -flushcache (press Return)
6. Reboot the G4
Doing the same for each of your Macs will only make things easier for you and your network. Just make sure that you use the same computer names (or just copy/paste the contents of the G4s hosts file to the rest of your Macs (do not drop the hosts file itself to the /private/etc folder in any other Mac(s))
Hmmmm. manual....may have to go looking for that one.
You can download a manual from Linksys support page. I see 2 versions of the WAG54G (Version 1, Version 2).
Now, what you need to do is to let your router allow computers outside your LAN talk to your FTP server (G4). This process is called "port mapping" or "port forwarding".
So log in to your Linksys router via the its web interface, go to Applications & Gaming-->Port Forwarding-->Port Range Forwarding and enable the following TCP ports: 20, 21, 989, 990. Make sure that all of them point to your G4 (192.168.1.5), check Enable, Save Settings and you're done.
FYI here are the FTP TCP ports and their names:
TCP 20: FTP Data
TCP 21: FTP Control
TCP 989: FTP Data over LS/SSL
TCP 990: FTP Control over LS/SSL
For example:
Application: FTP Data + Control
Start: 20
End: 21
TCP/UDP: TCP
IP Address 192.168.1.5
Keep your firewall(s) turned off for a while till we make sure that everything is working as it should.
At this point, networking-wise your LAN is configured like the big boys, and it's ready to rock...
Finally, about PureFTPd:
What do you want to share via FTP (a folder? an entire HD?)?
Have you setup PureFTPd yet? (Accounts, folders etc)?
Go through PureFTPd documentation again to learn the basics. Since your server will be accessed only by people you know, don't bother with anonymous users, just create accounts for your colleagues.
Let me know how your PureFTPd setup goes...
PS, I see that you are in NYC, been to the new Applestore? I love the glass cube design.
No, not yet, I'm currently doing a project in Berlin/Germany. It looks nice but I wouldn't go in the first days, I don't like long queues

Setting up FTP on Domain Controller using User Isolation

Hi all,
Our FTP site is set on a domain controller (not best practice i know, but i wasn't involved in the implementation of it) However, it currently works with the "FTP Root Directory" option selected, however this is not very secure as everyone has access
to everything. I need to set it up so it uses "Username Directory" as this is a domain controller, and i want them to authenticate via AD User/Group. However when i select that option, i can't connect to the FTP site - Connection attempt failed with
"EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known". When i change it back to "FTP Root Directory" it connects fine.
Basic Authentication is Enabled and Anonymous Authentication is disabled.
Virtual Directory option is selected under directory listing options.
Our FTP folder structure is E:\FTPRoot it got moved to this drive as it's a bigger drive.
I've set up a Virtual Directory for the FTP site and for the individual folders.
I'm stuck on what else to try, any advice and guidance would be appreciated.

Setting up FTP Server on Mac OS 10.4.4

Hello.
I am trying to set up my Mac so that I can use it as an FTP Server.
I am connected via BT Business Broadband and I am using the following router:
3COM Office Connect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router (3CRWDR100A-72)
I have been assigned a Static IP Address, which I am 99% certain that I have entered correctly into the router. If I go to www.whatismyip.com it shows my static IP correctly.
What I cannot do is access my Mac via FTP from another computer.
I think I need to set up port forwarding on the Router to the Mac, but I dont know where to do this.
Then, once I have that set, How do I set the Mac up so I can connect via FTP.
I hope this makes sense..
I would be very greatful for any help / advice.
Many thanks
Glenn

Hi
Thanks for the reply - its very much appreciated.
So I go into my router and forward on ports 20 and 21. I assume that the router will automatically forward to the Mac without entering any IP addresses (?)
You mention that if I need read /write access I will need an FTP client.
I host some websites which I need to back up to the mac. The backend system allows me to automatically back up to any computer with ftp access.
So, I want to have the back ups sent to the Mac using ftp. (The back end will connect using ftp://user:password@serveraddress
which will obviously need write access. Would this still work without an ftp client. (as I write this, I have the feeling it would be OK as the back end to the hosting will be using ftp protocols anyway))
Any clarification would be great
Many thanks again
Glenn

Trying to set up FTP server

I am trying to set up an FTP server using my macbook. I have followed the steps on http://www.macinstruct.com/node/152 but where I am running into trouble is that I have to assign a static ip to my computer. My home network is as follows: ISP -> D-Link DI-604UP router -> Airport Express (bridge mode) -> Macbook. Do I need to set up the Airport Express with a static ip as well, or can it remain dynamic and simply set my macbook to static. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Do I need to set up the Airport Express with a static ip as well, or can it remain dynamic and simply set my macbook to static
Since your AirPort is running in Bridge mode (which it should be in this setup) then the AirPort IP address doesn't matter. Only the Mac server needs a static IP address.
Even so, consider the implications of using FTP - it's an insecure protocol and you run the risk of exposing your system to unwanted attention from hackers, bots and scripts that will try to exploit weak FTP services. Before you go much further I'd recommend evaluating what you're trying to achieve, and whether there's a better (i.e. non-FTP) way of doing it.

Setting up FTP access on AEBS

Hi everyone
i've just purchased a new 24" imac and AEBS (the mac is spectacular). i've connected a Lacie Network Space 1TB to the AEBS and use it as a shared drive for our family.
i've now tried to open FTP access to the Lacie and can;t get it to work. i've set up the Lacie with a user account, noted its IP address, and enabled it for ftp.
i've then gone to the AEBS and followed the instructions in the apple manual "Designing Airport Networks 10.5" but i can;t get it to work. i've contacted Lacie who suggest its "my router" . I've searched thru this forum and others without success in nailing what i am doing wrong. i also called apple support here in Oz but they cant help either.
Can anyone offer any advice or a checklist to get me thru?
many thanks
Carlo

Hi DP
i have searched through my Lacie info and cant find anything on ports. however, under the Port Mapping Setup Assistant in Airport Utility (which i stumbled through previously) i see it has assigned:
PUBLIC TCP PORT : 21 and
PRIVATE TCP PORT: 21.
it also show the PRIVATE IP ADDRESS. 10.0.1.100
to answer your other question, my lacie drive is available in Finder - when i click on it i see my files. and since it is connected to my AEBS i can see it also on other machines i have at home.

Can someone help newbie to set up ftp on Mac OS X (10.4.7)?

Well 2 things:
1.) If youre using wireless then you almost have to be using a wireless router/firewall/base sation etc.. You need to go into that device's admin program and set up Port Forwarding.All traffic actually comes through this device first and is then routed to the computers attached to (wireless or wired). You can access this by using Applications/Utilities/Airport Admin Utility if its an apple airport base station, or by going to the devices ip address on the network if its a thrd party like Linksys or D-Link or what have you. This ip address is typically something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.168.1by default but you may have changed that during setup.Consult the documentation of your device for the username and pasword if you havent reset it yet. If you poke around you should see something about port forwarding... go in there and forward port 21 to your computer's local ip address (example: 192.168.1.2) .Sine most of these wont forward to a DNS name and since youre using wireless and will be loggin on and off alot i assume youll need to set up your powerbook to use a static ip address. go to System Preferences>Network>TCP/IP and choose either Static or Staic IP with DHCP. Enter the appropriate info which you can get from the Router Status page.
2.) Makes sure youre not giving your froend your local ip address. Which will probably be the one "Sharing" tells you t o give out.YOu need to give im the public ip address which will NOT start with 192 or 127... YOu can get this address from the router status page as well.

Set Up FTP on Xserve

I have set up our server as a .private and I cannot figure out how to set it up where we could FTP to it off-site. Is this because it's set up as a .private instead of a .com. In System Preference > File Sharing, there is no "FTP" option. Thanks!

If this is Mac OS X Server, all server functions, including the FTP server, are managed through Server Admin, not System Preferences.
As for how to get remote users to your server, you won't be able to use your .private name. They'll need to access your public IP address (or hostname, if you have one) and you'll have to configure your router to pass the traffic through to your server.
Note that FTP and firewalls don't get on well with each other. You may find it troublesome to do.

Need help setting up FTP server.

I have a networked video server that converts analog video from my security cameras to mpeg, it has an internal FTP client that I have pointed to a share on my server, with the correct login info. This will all occur on my intranet and if possible I do not want FTP open to the internet. I can not connect to the server via FTP. Any advice would be appreciated.

John, this is all very vague.
What is your FTP software? or if inbuilt to the OS, which OS is it? Mac, Windows, other?
When you say you can't connect to the FTP box, is this using your "Video server" (What OS is it)?
Have you tried using another machine to connect to your server?
More info please...

Setting up FTPS

Dear all,
I have a requirement where in have to enable FTPS in SAP XI System as well as the remote FTP server.
Can some one please list down the steps required to execute an end to end scenario involving FTP(S).
Apart from this query, I had some questions like
1. Do we have to configure SSL in SAP XI system as well as in the remote FTP server?
2. Do we have to generate the certificates at both ends, I was not clearing about importing the Private and Public key, Can someone elaborate on the same?
3. Is SAP XI 3.0 SP17 capable of handling a FTP(S) scenario/or configuring SSL.
4. Can some give a short description as to how actually this whole flow works, I mean how is it different from normal FTP, what are the improved security features and how is the actual message secured.
Kindly help me, please provide any blogs explaining the configurations to be done at both the ends, the softwares to be used.
Your help will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
Regards,
Younus
