Share files over the internet between PC and MAC server

The set up:
A MAC OS X 10.3.9 server running on a local network in the office sharing files with 15 windows XP and MAC.
The problem:
Can't connect a windows XP away (from home over the internet) to see files being share by the MAC server. I can do this with an other MAC from my home when I go to "Connect to server" and then I type the IP adress of my MAC server at the office, login with the user ID and then can see files on the server. When I am at the office, there is no problem with the windows XP machine to connect to the MAC server. When I am at home, I can connect with my windows XP machine to the MAC server at the office for FileMaker server (reside on MAC server at office), but I can not see the files shared on the MAC server over the internet when I connect via windows explorer serveradress
(no firewall on the MAC server).
Thank you

I would like to know this, too. I'm trying to set up something with my bother on a PC. How does he make a connection on windows? I don't know what to tell him to do.
Gabriel, do you have Wndows Sharing activated under Services in your Sharing Prefs?

  • Unable to share files over the local network, OS X Lion

    About two weeks ago, my coworker and I realized that we were no longer able to share files over the local network. We have not made any changes to our preference settings. We are able to access FileMaker Pro databases files located on another computer in our office via the network, but we are unable to access any other files by trying to login to the computer remotely. We also have internet access. I am able to login to each of our work computers form home, but not from the office. I'm am not sure what has changed, but it is important that we have the ability to share files at work. Can you give me directions on how to fix our problem. Thanks!

    I had this problem when I first setup my Mac. One thing I know is that File Sharing in System Preferences doesn't necessarily need to be on, because iTunes does all of the networking itself.
    I know that you've checked and checked again on the firewall, but what I did was turn the firewall on. In the list of ALLOW, there should be a line that is labeled iTunes Music Sharing. Check it. It was the magic link, and all of my iTunes libraries on the three computers in the house (two Windows, one my Mac) could "see" each other.
    Turning on the firewall might seem strange, but it worked for me.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server?

    I am trying to download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server. I've tried doing it with Datasocket as suggested in these articles,
    <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/f3cc5f7e60a75cb2862567e700696abf?opendocument">Retrieving an Unformatted Text File via FTP or HTTP Using DataSocket</a>

    but all I get is error 1181 (protocol unrecognized by Datasocket).
    I know I have the URL correct, because I can put it into a web browser and it works fine - I can download the file manually.
    But I want to have a LabVIEW program do the download automatically.
    I have the internet toolkit, but don't have the foggiest clue how to use it, and am using LabVIEW 7.1
    I am a bit out of my depth here, so any advice welcome.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    MIG,
    What is the URL to the website? Is it an FTP site? The articles you referenced are for specific transfer protocols. If the stie you're trying to get to doesn't follow these protocols, then you'll get the error you're seeing. You may have to use ActiveX to control IE and download the files programmatically.

  • Best way to transfer large files over the Internet?

    What is the best way to transfer files that are too large to send by e-mail over the internet, preferably ways that are free or very cheap and are easiest for sender and receiver to work with?
    I assume one way is by ftp, but would that necessarily mean buying space on a server somewhere that both I and my recipients can get to? or is there a way to avoid this cost?

    you can use a cloud storage like Mobileme (not free) or DropBox (free up to 2GB).
    you can also use direct file sharing over internet. no extra software or 3rd party services required. that's what I use to move files between my home and work computers.

  • Access TimeCapsule over the internet with Windows and Bonjour

    Hi,
    I tried multiple things to access my Time Capusle over the internet but I can't figure it out. Obvioulsy everybody except me has a Mac. I will buy one soon, promise but now I need help with this Piece o S windows laptop.
    I forwarded the port 548 on my modem to the capsule, it didnt work (I didnt mount the drive though since I dont know how with windows)
    I clicked on sharing drives with bonjour in airport utility, created a host name username password but now how do I access it?
    Within the network everything works fine. I can access the drive with iphone, ipad und Piece oS but not remotely.
    Please help.

    You cannot access it from windows.. sorry. Any files you want.. copy to the laptop beforehand or use cloud storage.

  • I need a wireless option for older Mac desktop is there a good card or adapter  I want to transfer hd video files over the internet.  using a hotspot and wireless card in computer, any recommendations

    Is there a good card I can put in the computer, and use with a hotspot?  Any experience with uploading HD video files this way.  DSL hard wired connection is too slow

    As for the people on eBay, my only beef with them is that it has turned into a money hungry store instead of an auction place to pick things up inexpensively, like it used to be.
    Agreed.
    There is one, in particular, who really puts a dear price on his flashed cards.
    Not a friend to the Mac community.
    Of course, others see his prices, and say "Well, if he can, then so can I".....
    By the way, I have been noticing the same cards, only for PC for around $30-$40, which lead me to believe that those are the ones they are "flashing". Sorry if that's incorrect.
    It's OK.
    I watch for the prime cards all the time.
    Radeon 9800 Pro and XT PC cards have increased to the $50-$70 range.
    Pros used to be $20-$30, XTs $30-$60.
    Some guys here in Japan are trying to get $100 for Radeon 9800 Pro cards- vanilla PC versions.
    The glut in Mac options has inflated the flashable PC card market dramatically.....
    The Mac Edition Pro retailed for $200+.
    $100 isn't bad for that card flashed to Mac... the XT gets $20-$50 more.
    Try telling a PC guy that a Radeon 9800 is a $100 card..... the old boys laugh!
    Adding to this is the recent influx of "new" Mac users, PC modders/users buying cheap, used G4's, and the demand for upgrades has increased as supply decreased.
    If you see any rev 5.70 Geforce 7800 GS AGP cards, or any FireGl (Radeon) X800XT (unflashed) cards for less than $130, amazing is all that I have to say.
    $30-$40, and I'll take 20 of each- cash!
    Hmm, same goes for Geforce 6800 Ultra's......
    I am just a little (or a lot) frustrated with Apple and Apple vendors lately. For obvious and not so obvious reasons. Please accept my apologies as I go through this phase.
    We all have our days, and our reasons. At least, I know I do......
    Apology warmly accepted!
    Count me as frustrated, as well.
    The new machines sure look nice, but when I tally up the price of the software that I own, which can't be run on Intel or 10.6x Macs, my room full of G4's look a lot nicer.

  • I set my time capsule "Share disks over the internet using Bonjour"

    how do I view my files? Is there something I need to download to do so? I use Mac OS X 10.5.8

    I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
    1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
    2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
    3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
    4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
    5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
    There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

  • Slow access when opening XLS or DOC files over the network but XLSX and DOCX files are fast

    I am working with a small office that has 3 Windows 7 Pro PC's.  Two of these PC's have shared folders that hold Word and Excel files and all 3 of the PC's have drives mapped to these shared folders.  When browsing these mapped drive in Windows
    Explorer  and double-clicking a file 1 of the computers takes about 30-50 seconds to open any file with a .doc or .xls extension.  It opens .docx and .xlsx files in a couple seconds though, it also open PDF files very quickly.  The other 2 PC's
    have no trouble any any type of file.  I have tried many things over the last couple weeks to get this fixed.  I have added the file locations as 'trusted locations' in the Trust Center and added a couple Registry tweaks to the SMB/ lanman workstation
    and server. 2 PC's are running Office Pro 2010 SP2 and the other is Office Pro 2013, the one having the slow access is running Office 2010.  Has anyone come across this problem and have any advice??

    Try: 
    Open My Computer.
    Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
    Select the File Types tab.
    Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
    In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open. 
    In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

  • How can I remotely access files over the internet using iPhone? VPN? Do I need to use Server?

    Please forgive my ignorance here, as I'm a Windows expert but have only been using Mac for two and a half years. Is it possible to securely access predefined directories on my iMac from a remote computer or device over the inernet, be it a MacBook Pro, iPhone or even a Windows computer or Android phone? Is there an advantage to an Apple-only approach (iPhone and Macs)? Do I need to use Server? Is VPN the method of choice, or is there some other method? I'm not looking to do remote desktop control, just remote file access. Right now I'm using DropBox for the things I need most, but I absolutely will not put sensitive information in there, and soon I will need to have access to more than what DropBox can hold. Also it may be worth noting that I'm currently an Android user but will be going back to iPhone soon if it would be advantageous in this regard.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    If you desire security, you definately want to use VPN so Lion Server will work.  Otherwise, if you have sysadmin experience (or know someone who does), there are free alternatives out there for vpn that can be setup on a cheap linux server and provide the same capabilities. 

  • Help! My iPad's screen is black and unresponsive, but when I plug it in I can hear it make the noise it normally would. I'm unsure what to do and I've been looking all over the internet for solutions and so far none are working.

    As I mentioned, the screen is black and unresponsive. However when ever I plug it into either my charger or my lap top it will make the expected sounds, it also [when plugged into my computer] opens up iTunes how ever the device can't be seen on the side bar. So far to resolve the issue I've tried.
    - Attempting to turn it on
    - A reset using the home/sleep button and the power button
    - Plugging it into my computer to see if I can get it working through iTunes [Which so far is fruitless]
    - Holding 3 fingers down in the screen in case my screen curtain was enabled [Nothing happened with that either]
    - Putting it face down over my knee and slapping the back in case a cable was lose [Done this repeatedly and nothing happened]
    I don't know what's wrong with it and I've been searching for solutions for about 2-3 hour's now. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me as I would like to go through as many options as possible before trying to take it into the apple store.
    [Side note I had also just updated my iPad two nights before the problems began to occur to the iOS 8 technology.My version of iPad is the iPad 2 with 16GB of memory. I'm not sure how much information will be relevant but I'll give as much as possible is someone is able to help me.]

    Apple does not replace screens and your iPad is clearly out of warranty, not that accidental damage would be covered anyway.  If you want to try to have your iPad fixed, there are 3rd party repair centers you can try.  In your google search bar type the following:
    "ipad repair "xxxxx"
    Put your city in the "xxxx"  for example, "tampa, fl"
    There will likely be some options you could investigate.
    Or, you could sell your iPad, even damaged to Gazelle.com and get yourself a shiny new iPad.  And if you do, make sure you add AppleCare+ for $99.  This not only increases your Apple technical support for two full years, but would get you up to two iPad replacements at $49 each.

  • Missing files in catalog shared between Windows and Mac

    I switch between using Elements 12 on a Mac (Mountain Lion) and a Windows 7 machine while managing a common catalog.  The catalog and media are stored on an external USB 3.0 disk drive attached to whichever machine I am using to work.
    This setup works fine except that on computer #1, the Organizer “loses” media files computer #2 has worked with, and vice versa.  The problem seems to be in the way Elements stores the media file location.
    Example:
    My external catalog and media drive is named “JS” and assigned drive letter G: on the Windows machine.
    File “IMG_0310.JPG” is stored in directory “2007 08 18”.
    On the Windows machine the location seen in the Elements Organizer Information panel is “G:\2007 08 18\”.
    Using the Mac, Elements reports the file as missing, finds it, and changes the file location to “\Volumes\JS\2007 0818\”.
    Returning to the Windows machine, the problem repeats itself and corrects the file location to use Windows-style path names.
    This wouldn’t be so bad if Elements was faster reattaching missing files, but the search for the first few reconnects takes a very long time and the whole process grows longer the more work I did on the other machine.   This is a major annoyance and time drain.
    Elements documentation promotes the use of an external drive for sharing.  Someone else must have run into this same problem.  Is there a way to configure Elements to overcome the file location problem?
    Thanks!
    [edit]
    I realize PSE 12 is new and many are still on PSE 11.  Is anyone using PSE 11 experiencing this issue?

    Thank you for the response!
    Looking at volume_table there are indeed two entries for the external drive (rows 3 and 5):
    The Windows entry on row 3 shows the correct volume serial number in decimal as assigned when the drive was formatted.  The hex version is 7A85-0647.  The Mac entry on row 5 shows a serial number that doesn't make sense from a Windows or Mac perspective.
    This is interesting but I'm not sure what to do with this information.  It may not be a bug.  It would make sense from a development viewpoint to use the serial number to uniquely identify the drive and have separate entries for each OS tied together by that serial number, allowing the drive path to differ by OS.  Although, in this case the serial numbers do not match.  Maybe the Mac and Windows versions of PSE 12 are retrieving two different serial numbers and therefore do not see the drive as the being the same, which would be a bug.

  • The connection between ADM and Essbase Server is lost?

    I can login essbase server with MaxL, excel spreadsheet, the Essbase Administration Service is started by command line and it shows running fine, But I cannot login to Essbase through ADM console, the error message is: Could not connect to the Administration Server
    thanks!

    You really should change your architecture. I assume that your other controls also control the robot, so you will need more complex messaging.
    I suggest you look at some of the examples and templates for queued message handler. Essentially, this will allow you to send message between two loops, which is probably what you want.
    As for what your comm loop should actually look like, you should separate the opening part from the communicating and closing part. That way, you can send the Ready string immediately after connecting. The example code you used already handles the timeout error, which is the indication you want that the connection was lost.
    Here's one (very bad) example of how this could be done:
    You should note that this does not really do any error handling. If you use a queued message handler and actually turn the comm loop into a state machine (with states like Open,Comm and Close), it should be cleaner.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try looking at some of these tutorials.

  • Configuration the connection between portal and srm server only via JDBC

    Dear all:
       We want to implement the SRM server and present the supplier web/page in the portal server. Our SRM and portal server install in intranet network.
       For internal employee use the SRM server and the Supplier access the portal server via Internet, we install Web Dispather in DMZ to exchange the HTTP request.
         Network TOP like this :
        SRM server--Portal||FireWall||-Web Dispatcher--Supplier
      (--Internal|firewall--|DMZ|-Internet )
      The question is : Between DMZ zone and our internal network zone ,there is the firewall and it only allows JDBC protocol (SQL statements or result set) to pass. Other protocol and port could not pass this firewall.
      So ,it seems that  no way to implement  this ,right? Or any other way to implement it ?

    thanks

  • What is the difference between iMac and Mac pro?

    I want to buy an iMac but have saw the mac pro.  What is the difference?  Do you need an iMac to get a mac pro or does it come with a monitor?

    Yes, exactly as Kappy has stated.
    The iMac is an "all-in-one" computer similar to an HP Envy, or HP Touchsmart.
    HP Envy Here: http://tinyurl.com/bb-hp-envy
    HP Touchsmart Here: http://tinyurl.com/bb-hp-touchsmart
    These are an "all-in-one" machine, where the CPU (central processing unit), mainboard, and graphics display adapter are all embedded onto one board, and it is built-in to the monitor display case.
    So you just have what looks like a "thicker" monitor on your desk and your keyboard connects to this "all-in-one" computer.  (and actually the newest 2012 iMacs are not really that "thick" at all, and it does look pretty nice/thin/sleek).
    The disadvantage to an "all-in-one" is that it's not easily upgradeable.  You can't change out the graphics cards, or install new PCIe expansion cards (faster network cards, RAID adapter, etc.), can't add extra internal hard drives (i.e. 4 internal hard drives), etc.
    The Mac Pro is a standalone computer.  It requires an additional monitor/display.  The advantage of having a Mac Pro is that it is upgradeable (you can get more powerful graphics cards in the future if you need better 3D rendering power) and it has far more memory slots, so it can be expandeable to I believe 128GB of RAM (whereas I believe the iMac might be 32GB of ram?)
    iMac memory expansion here:  http://www.apple.com/why-mac/compare/
    Mac Pro Memory expansion here:  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory
    Also the iMac is a much thinner device, and you can't separate the display from the CPU (they are an "all-in-one" device) so you can't upgrade or change the primary display, but you can add a second display).
    With the Mac Pro, you can add additional graphics cards, and you can power up to twelve displays (if you wish).  You also have a much more powerful processor on the Mac Pro (one quad-core, or up to two 6-Core Intel Xeon processors).  So the Mac Pro a much more powerful machine.
    The iMac is just a nice cute/thin desktop display (all-in-one), but with a quad-core processor it's still a fairly fast/decent machine.
    If you are doing heavy 3D graphics rendering or gaming, or graphics design (3D CAD, etc.) then I would probably go with something more powerful like a Mac Pro, since you can get better graphics cards, and the Mac Pro will run much cooler (as you're trying to do massive rendering).
    > Do you need an iMac to get a mac pro or does it come with a monitor?
    No, you don't need an iMac for a Mac Pro (they are two separate and different computers), but yes you do need an external monitor display if you buy a Mac Pro.
    Any 1920x1080p monitor/display with an HDMI input will be sufficient for using with a Mac Pro.
