Is anyone working to fix Firefox "The proxy server is refusing connections" problem?

Or, should we who are affected ditch Mozilla products and go back to the dark side?

that's a one time fix, the next time you open the browser it happens again, is there a more permanent fix? I have better things to do with my life than go through this every time I open a browser.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Setting Up the File Server Dynamically

I have a scenario wherin i have to set up the FTP server name and directory where i have to put the final file dymically.
I was able to set the directory path dynamically using Adapter Specific Message properties.
Can somebody suggest me if i can set the server name also by module processor (have not written one till now)or some other way. The steps to follow etc
Waiting for your useful answers.

Hi Siva,
Setting up a Server name Dynamically -I don't think so it is possible with this point of time.
So try to do in Java Proxy if required.
Receiver File Adapter - Dynamic FTP Server Address
Hope this helps,

An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'

HI Experts,
I have been tried Content Conversion by using the FTP. Under Adapter Monitoring --> Communication Channel monitoring i found this error:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 4 '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Regards,
-Prabhakar.A

Hi
Pl mention the error correctly, whats the FTP error code? (something like this: 426, 521)
Could be due to 2 reasons:
1) insufficient privileges
2) wrong port

Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server: java.lang.NullPointerExc

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario wherein i have to send file from FTP to application server of ECC.
I don't want to do any mapping and transformation; Just need to transfer the file as it is.
I have achieved this using Integrated scenario.
But in the sender communication channel i get an error saying "Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "*.*.*.*:*": java.lang.NullPointerException"
I have checked all my FTP parameters many times and everything is correct.
Thanks,
Lalit Mohan Gupta.

Hi,
You can check the connect test of FTP in either of the below ways.
1. Use FTP Dos command (i.e go the run and type ftp..) and from there try to login to the source FTP server by using FTP Commands. If you are able to connect to the same then ask your basis to check the connectivity test from PI server.
If you are not able to connect check the error you are getting and post the same if you are not able to resolve the same.
2. There is Program from SAP which need to be deployed into Server and after that you can test the ftp connection by yourselves from PI server. Search in sap support for Connection Test SAP Note..

Can I stop Dreamweaver CS6 from constantly polling the FTP server?

When I work in CS6 I just work directly off the FTP server. I don't work in a large team, check in and check out is a wasted feature for us. So I have the Advanced server settings to automatically upload files when I save them. This has been working pretty well with the exception that Dreamweaver CS6 seems to constantly poll the FTP server anyway. So often times I'll go to save and it will throw out an error that it can't upload the file right now because it's currently interacting with the server.
Inside Dreamweaver I have the FTP log tab open and it's just constantly looking at stuff on the server at random intervals. It's not downloading anything or reconnecting. I'm having no connection problems at all actually outside of this.
I've poked through settings and I can't find anything that says something like "Stop constantly checking the FTP server, it's still there, don't worry about it..."
Here's the error for whatever it's worth. I wouldn't even bother complaining about this except that it happens to me constantly throughout the day. If it was just once or twice I wouldn't care. The other annoying thing is that when the error occurs it does save the file locally which is pointless for my purposes also but since it flags it as saved I have to make a change in order to get it to save and upload. So a lot of times I'm just waiting for it to stop interacting with the FTP server for no good reason, adding a space, backspacing the space and then hitting save again. Seriously obnoxious, please tell me there's a setting to shut this behavior off.

I'll tell you the real answer - because Adobe Dreamweaver's FTP integration is, and has always been, horrendous. Here I am - working with Dreamweaver in 2013, having worked with Dreamweaver since the year 2000... yes - that is 13 years. And 13 freaking years later I am still having the SAME Dreamweaver FTP issues since back then!!
Like today - let me tell you my workflow.
Open Dreamweaver - knowing that this is going to be yet again another painful day because of the FTP situation
Make a few changes to a single file
Connect - it connects instantly
Upload my file. I'm (relatively) happy.
Work on my file for the next 10 minutes.
Keyboard Shortcuts to save, then upload my file.
Window pops up - Waiting for server
Still waiting for server
Trys to reconnect.
Waiting for server
I cancel. Disconnect... then guess what...
Window pops up - Waiting for server.
I close that window immediately
Reconnect - its fine
Upload my file immediately.
I have to do this EVERY FREAKING TIME I need to upload a file. It is beyond rediculous that this wasn't solved in 2002, but no - ELEVEN years after that it still behaves the same!!!!
I know I'm not alone - just google "Dreamweaver FTP Waiting for server", or "dreamweaver ftp dropping", or anything else like that, and you'll find no end of people in pure frustration.
The only solution that I have found that may actually help ease the pain (doesn't solve the problem unfortuantely) this is something I just found today.
Go to Preferences > Site settings where you can change FTP connection option : Disconnect after x minutes idle
I have changed that to 1 minute. Shouldn't have to, but that's all that can be done.
Please Adobe - start from the ground up with CS7 and completely rewrite FTP in Dreamweaver.

How do you set up an FTP server using a NAS device?

I'm sure this question has been answered before. I run a small graphic design business from my home. Occassionly clients want to send me files and ask if I have an FTP site they can upload to. I recently purchased an NAS enclosure and added a 250 GB HD in it. It's hook up to a Linksys router. I can attach to it using the GO menu using "smb://STORAGE". It appears on the desktop. I have Comcast as my broadband service with a dynamic DNS. I have 2 folders on it, one password protected and the other a Public folder. I would like someone to be able to access the Public folder and upload and download files on it. Would someone be able to explain, in simple terms, how to set this up.

Well you actually need to have an ftp server running somewhere. I dont know (although i doubt it does) if your NAS has an embedded FTP or SFTP server. If it dosent youll actuall have to have people connect to one of your servers/workstations that has FTP enabled.
First youll need to log in to your router's admin panel and forward port 21 to the server/workstation that will function as the ftp server.
Then set up the mount for the NAS device at large or one of the specific folders on it with sharepoints or something on the mac that will act as the ftp server.
Set up a user as a FTP only user. Youll probably want to make this user only have FTP access (you can google or consult other threads in these forums for this procedure).
In this users home folder make symlinks to the shares with the command line:
cd pathto_ftpusers_homedir
ln -s /Volumes/NAS_Sharepoint NameOfFolderUserWillSee
Then create the file /etc/ftpchroot which will contain a list of users that will be limited to thier home directory when using ftp. i would use a command line text editor to do this (pico, vi, emacs... choose your poison).
the file should simply be a list of user shortnames, 1 per line.
Thats the basics of it. You can get more complicated and might indeed need to set up permissions and what not properly (youll probably want to use ACLS so you dont have to constantly change permissions or login as another user to access files that have been uploaded)but that should get you started i think.

[SOLVED] Setting up a FTP server

Hai all :>
i'm trying to setup a local FTP server which is running on my home server. my aim is to provide a ftp server which allows everyone within my locale network to connect and upload stuff (= read- + writable for everyone who has logged in)
i've already tested vsftpd and worked through the wiki page:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ver … simpler.29
connecting works but i can't either create nor upload anything. do i have to add more things to my configfile or does vsftp disallows uploading by default?
best regards :>

Not sure if it's okay to post in a topic that's been [SOLVED], feel free to correct me if I'm doing it wrong. :-)
I just set up a webserver at home with SSH, Apache and VSFTPD. Now I'm doing this for my brother, because I figured if I only pay for his domain name and not also a webhotel I'll be saving alot of money(!). He wants to run like, two blogs, one for his baby kid and one for himself. Myself I want to learn python, people tell me django is the way to learn it(?) and since most service providers favour Rails it's a no go here.
1) Now I got the domain connected to the server through a dynamic DNS service, and it displays the webpage located in /srv/http. In the /srv directory there is also the /ftp folder, which I reach by simply going to ftp://mydomainname.com/ in Firefox. However, if I connect to the FTP server through Transmit (Mac OS X client) I need to enter my login credentials (same as for logging in via SSH, I ain't got no separate user table for the FTP) and I end up in my homefolder. I suppose that's nice (I dunnu really) since if you could enter like, ftp://mydomainname.com/thoht, and have access to my home directory that'd be awesome. How do I configure it to be like that?
2) For the websites though (I take it FTP and WWW are different things now and stored separetely) I'd rather have it stored where it is, so that I may create custom folders beneath. On the other hand what if I got several domain names, and subdomain names? If I go to mydomainname.com in Firefox I end up on the index.html page in the /srv/http folder. Shouldn't I be able to store several folders named correspondingly to the specific domain name in there?
Thanks in advance!

Can I set up an FTP server from a networked Time Capsule?

I've been looking around and can't seem to find this specific question addressed anywhere, so I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this.
I have a Time Capsule connected directly to my router. Other than its intended purpose, I would like to connect an external USB hard drive to it, and use that as an accessible FTP server for a select few.
To my understanding, port forwarding the router and giving WAN access would allow any user to see the entirety of the Time Capsule - which I do not want. I only want to share this one drive and have it maintained by an FTP login/password. I would then share this drive on the internal network.
Is this possible? Or will I have to run the FTP server off one of my workstations?
Cheers.

Not in usable and reliable way no.. many things are possible.. if you have the (various bad words for foolishness or courage)... but it is too hard as there is no hacked firmware out there for a TC. It is a device intended for TM backups of laptops by wireless. Anything else is restricted strictly to what Apple want you to use it for. You can buy a cheap NAS, single disk unit will almost inevitably have FTP in them.. over network FTP is ok but remember it is not secure so you want SFTP for internet access.. And be warned.. FTP itself will be blocked from WAN on the TC.
There are severe FTP issues with the AE/TC.. the last couple of versions of the Gen1-5 firmware as well as the Gen 6.. See this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22948061#22948061
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22927625#22927625
The last post in this thread by.. SBeattie2
I think will condemn you to replacement of the TC by a router that actually conforms to standards if you are trying to forward it to a workstation or NAS even.
SFTP might work.. see this thread.

How to get current working directory of the ftp server,in java application

Hi All,
I?m FTP?ing the file using java.net.url.
Here is the snippet of the code:
public void ftpFile()throws ChrsException
try
System.out.println("FTPing the file '"+localfile+"'");
OutputStream os = openUploadStream(targetfile);
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(localfile);
byte[] buf = new byte[16384];
int noOfBytesRead;
while (true)
//Read the data from the source File into buf
noOfBytesRead = is.read(buf);
if (noOfBytesRead <= 0)
break;
//Writes the data present in the buf to the target file
os.write(buf, 0, noOfBytesRead);
os.close();
is.close();
close();
System.out.println ("The file '"+localfile+"' is Sucessfully FTP'd to '"+targetfile+"'");
catch (MalformedURLException malExcp)
System.out.println ("Invalid URL. Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
catch(IOException ioe)
System.out.println ("Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
private OutputStream openUploadStream(String targetfile) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
URL url = null;
//Creates a URL object with FTP protocol
if (user == null)
url = new URL("ftp://" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
else
url = new URL("ftp://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
urlc = url.openConnection();
//Get the OutputStream that writes to this connection.
OutputStream os = urlc.getOutputStream();
return os;
Now I need to find what the current directory is when the user logs in with username and password on to the FTP server in java.
Thanks in Advance.

as soon as user logs in he is taken to the directory
"ftproot/pub/abc".
now If I execute pwd command , is hould be able to
get to know tht user is under "ftproot/pub/abc"Three respected posters, well two plus me ;-), have just told you otherwise. The information about the current directory is (a) secure and (b) useless to the user, as he can't do anything with it. The user doesn't want to know that at all and you shouldn't try to tell him. And in any case FTP doesn't support it, again for security reasons, so you can't do it.
Just accept it.

Polling of the current file from multiple files in the FTP Server

Hello Experts
I am working on a file to file scenario.We have to poll the file from the FTP server which may contain multiple files with different creation dates.The requirement is to poll only the file created in the current date.Could anyone throw some light on this.
Thanks & Regards
Sabyasachi

Hi Sabyasachi,
You can archive the files that you do not need into another folder manually for the first time.
Later you can schedule the file adapter to poll the folder only once in a day (Poll INterval = 86400 secs)
Do not forget to set the option to archive/delete the file that are already processed.

Updated to firefox 3.6.6 on laptop and now it can't acces the net "The proxy server is refusing connections" I've restarted twice. My other computer in home works fine. Just not laptop on Network/WiFi

Can't access the web on lap. It's networked form main computer. The problem started just after I downloaded/updated to Firefox 3.6.6. That may be a coincidence. I get "The proxy server is refusing connections". Restarts don't help. My main computer is fine. I didn't update it.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== just after an update to 3.6.6

Firefox 3.6.6 made a change in prefs to use system proxy settings.
Check your proxy / network setting in Windows and change it to No Proxy, if you don't use a proxy.
