Time Capsule file sharing VS Leopard Server

I just bought a new 1 TB Time Capsule (TC). My goal was to use it as a time machine hard drive for my Leopard Server.
As soon as I start Enable File Sharing on TC, there is a conflict with the AFP Port (548) for my server. I can only do one or the other. I understand that I can change the AFP port but I don't think it is a good solution for me.
Is there others ways to reach that drive ?
Thank you

Hello, the problem is to activate Disk Sharing. Because I have forwarded the AFP Port 548 to my Leopard OS X server in Time Capsule, as soon as I try to turn on Disk Sharing on Time Capsule I get the following message:
Enabling "Enable file sharing" conflicts with one of your part port mappings. The port mapping has been disabled. Please update its public port to continue using it.
That's the part I wish I could avoid. Changing the public port of AFP wold mean to change all external client (my family
I have tried to turn on Bonjour in the Disk pane and then turn off disk sharing and I did received a message saying to configure Airport-Time Capsule - Edit - Dynamic global Hostname. I will be trying that.
Thank you for the "Bonjour" Hint

Mac Mini Server and Time Capsule, File Sharing Issue

Setup:
MacMini Server, Time Capsule, 2 Macs connected.
All Macs use the time capsule to backup.
Problem:
I can't use filesharing from over the internet anymore to connect to my server.
Ports 139 and 548 seem to be reserved for the internal backupdisk of the time capsule.
The port mapping rule gets turned off.
How can i still access my files from the outside ?
If i change the filesharing ports to something else, how can i access it ?
Anybody an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
+"I can connect to my server using vpn but my workgroup shortcut in the sidebar of finder doesn't work"+
That's about right. Bonjour won't work over VPN unless you work at it. AFP548 has an article on how to achieve it if you want to go to the trouble.
+"Isn't there a way without manually connect using go?"+
You could drop desired share points into the dock. Next time you initiate a VPN connection simply click on the icon in the dock. Works for me every time.
+"Perhaps some tweaking on the vpn server side?"+
None that I'm aware of. Perhaps someone else knows a way?

Time Capsule - File sharing with accounts

I recently got a brand new Time Capsule 1 TB. I have not copied any data to the internal (Airport) disk drive yet since I have been previously using a separate USB disk drive for Time machine backups and for storing other data. When I will have time I will just copy the data from the external USB drive to the Time capsule and use the Time capsule disk also for Time machine backups (I will delete the previous Time machine backups from the USB drive), while the USB drive will remain connected to the Time capsule for extended storage.
I would like to secure my shared disk with accounts (Airport Utility ->Disks -> File Sharing -> Secure Shared Disks -> With Accounts); currently I have "With a disk password" option selected. Somewhere on the internet I've read that when I enable this feature a new directory is created for each of the user account added to the Time capsule for disk access and that the existing data is removed from the Time capsule. Also, a new folder is created in Time capsule with a name of the disk which can be used as a shared folder for all users with accounts on Time capsule.
The questions I have are:
1. What happens to the other external USB drive connected to Time machine when I enable the user account secutiry feature? Is the data deleted? Are user account also set for this drive?
2. How to delete one user's data from the Time capsule after enabling user accounts access? If I delete his/her account on Time capsule, is his/her data also deleted from disk or just stays there?

this will not work. TM treats backups to locally attached drives differently to those made to networked drives. click here for information.

Time capsule file sharing, store mac and pc data

Hi All,
I am sure that there exists numerous questions similar to mine, however, I would like to be sure. I have a PC, macbook pro, and air port time capsule.
What I want to do:
1) I will move the contents of Time machine in an external HDD to new time capsule
2) I will backup my macbook pro via time machine using time capsule (this is ok)
3) I would like to store my PC data to the time capsule
Then,
a) I would like to share either mac file or PC file in Time capsule to the other users, may use mac or PC
b) Finally I would like to connect it from outside of office (I am in a university and we do not have a static IP)
I would like to learn that is it possible to do all of them with new time capsule. Indeed for the request 2, it is not necessary to back up PC data regularly, I can move data manually, I mean I do not want to use backup program for it.
I am really sorry for duplication of similar questions, however, I need help since I have started to use mac in a couple of months ago instead of using PC more that 25 years:)
My recent question was replied and it helped me, now, I extended my questions a little bit:)
Thanks for all your replies

I would like to ask you, if I connect an external HDD to USB connection of time capsule, then, is it possible to back up PC data to external HDD using time capsule as a router. I mean I looking for possible solutions to achieve :
2) I will backup my macbook pro via time machine using time capsule (this is ok)
3) I would like to store my PC data to the time capsule
That is what Pondini recommends.. using a USB drive to the TC works fine and is treated separately to the internal disk.. but is slow.. very slow..
PC can backup to the TC.. but it cannot use MSBackup if you have home versions.. because MS decided home versions should not need network backups.. anyway MSbackup is the most horrible program.. so just buy or download a suitable backup software.. anything.. anything at all has to be better than MSbackup.
Your point 3. Is this separate to backup.. ie do you want a backup and store your data on the TC.. you can do both.. But do not rely on the TC for your backups if that is the only place you have those files.. and you cannot backup TC files to TC... well not easily and it will be excruciatingly slow.
You can use the internal disk of the TC.. what you cannot do is partition the drive or make it functionally separate from Mac backups and that can lead to issues.. although I don't think it happens until you run out of space.. Note the use of fixed sparsebundle sizes as that can work as a parition for the Mac backups.
. Now, if I connect to an external HDD to USB port of time capsule and use time capsule as a router, is it possible to access the contents of HDD from MAC and PC,
And then, by using Icloud, can I access External HDD connected to USB port of time capsule.
Last question. How time capsule is used for PC
Either PC or Mac can access the hdd plugged in by USB.. but there are some issues.
1. Drive compatibility is not straight forward.
2. The drive can spin down and never spin up again without a restart.
3. You sometimes need to use a powered hub even with powered drive. The USB port is slow and underpowered.
4. The drive must be formatted on the Mac.. TC only has FAT32 or HFS+ formats.. and the FAT32 is poor. The fact that you use HFS+ is not an issue but the PC may still have issues with large files. It might still think the drive is FAT32 when it isn't.
BTMM with iCloud will work with both internal and USB drives plugged into the TC. But only from Mac. PC cannot access anything.
How time capsule is used for PC
I do not understand the point of the question.. all your questions are about using the TC with PC..
The TC is a dumb as a board hard disk inside a router.. nothing more.. you use it same as any router with a lousy USB drive plugged in.. slowly.. without brains.. what more did you want??

Time Capsule file permissions

Whenever I copy a file to the time capsule (either via finder by moving it there, or via terminal with cp) the file permissions of the file end up with -rwxrwxrwx, independently whether the file was an executable, or whether it only had reading permissions for all or group. Running chmod on the Time Capsule files has no effect.
This is really silly and makes the Airport Disk sharing useless. This way I will never share files with my friends over the Airport disk because the files loose their property and all files are executables at the end.
Is there a way to mount or configure the Time Capsule so that it conserves the file permissions?
I am aware that time capsule cannot handle different users, but at least it should conserve the file permissions. I imagine it could be like a scp or ftp of files to another server. My files on the other server will not have my user name, but at least they conserve the file permissions. A -rw-r-r- file will still be a -rw-r-r- file even if I copy it 10 times from one server to another.
I would lik to encourage Apple to take this problem seriously and provide an update for this issue. So many other Apple products are just so well integrated in a networking environment, even if it is a heterogeneous one, but not Time Capsule with this flaw.
Best wishes,
Reto

Agree, this is a serious flaw, that makes the device very dangerous to use as a central server for shared files, for example, the family's photograph collection. Since there appears to be no way to write protect anything, how can I ensure the files don't get modified or deleted?
Here's a nasty case I am seeing:
We unload a digital camera onto the TC's disk, then someone goes to their iPhoto app, and adds these files to their iPhoto library. Then they do something simple, like rotate the photos, and voila! The master file on the TC has now been modified! Horrible.

Is it possible to install mysql-server on a Time Capsule and makes it a server mysql database?

Network to share files in time capsule 1Tb now need to install a system that uses data from mysql database.
Is it possible to install the server-msyql the time capsule to make it a server database?

The Time Capsule is not a proper computer. It has a very stripped down embedded OS running a file server that offers AFP and SMB access to the files stored on the Time Capsule. And even that is primarily to support the Time Machine backup system - the fact that you happen to be able to store other files on a Time Capsule as a result is a (not particularly great) bonus.
You cannot install a database server on a Time Capsule. In theory, you could install a database server somewhere else and use the Time Casule as the location of the data files...but you shouldn't (and you shouldn't want to do that either).

Best Practises for File Sharing and Print Server on Windows Server 2012

Is it better to have File Sharing and Print Server installed on the same Windows 2012 Server ?
Or, they should be installed on 2 different Windows Servers ?
Hussien Sherief

It will work just fine to combine them.
But most people would recommend keeping functionality separate... if the budget allows. That whole "single point of failure" concept. If that server dies, you've lost both of those functions.

How do I set up file sharing in Lion Server to work like file sharing in Lion Client?

I've just installed Lion Server on my home iMac to enable remote access via VPN to my home network.
When the iMac was running Lion Client (before the upgrade to server), and when File Sharing was enabled on the iMac; when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP, they were always able to connect to (share) any mounted external volumes (external USB or FireWire drives connected to the iMac). e.g.
Now that I've upgraded to Lion Server, when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP they are only able to connect to (share) the sharepoints listed in the File Sharing pane of Server.app. e.g.
Is there any way to set up File Sharing in Lion Server so that it works the same way as it does in Lion Client with respect to mounted external volumes? i.e. they are automatically shared? I know I can add each volume manually to File Sharing in Server.app but this gets tedious.
Many thanks!

I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

I have "migrated" my Time Capsule files to my new iMac and most of the files to me "I don't have permission to view files" I am they admin....will I thought I was. What gives?

You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently.

I deleted time capsule files that were old, but now they won't delete from the trash

I deleted some time capsule files from the drive I am using for time machine. It placed them in the trash, but it won't delete them. It is asking if I want to delete only locked files or if I want to delete all files. I have tried both, but they are still showing up in the trash. It won't remove them. Does anyone have any suggestions, as I do not know what else to do. By the way I tried holding the option key and clicking empty trash and that did not work either.

Are these files being used by Time Machine. If so, this is how to delete files from a Time Machine backup. You can not delete them using Finder. Mac 101: Time Machine
Deleting data from a Time Machine backup
To delete all backups of one or more items from a Time Machine backup, follow these steps:
Click the Time Machine icon on your Dock to enter the Time Machine restore interface.
Click on the item you would like to delete. Command-click to select multiple items.
Control-click (or right click) the highlighted item(s) and select "Delete All Backups of..." from the contextual menu, or select "Delete all backups of..." from the Action Item menu.
Authenticate with an administrator password when prompted.
Important: Do not use the Finder to move to the items to the Trash, or to move or delete items in your Time Machine backup repository. The folder containing your Time Machine backup repository is called "Backups.backupdb" and is located on the external disk or Time Capsule you have chosen in Time Machine preferences.

If your Time Capsule looks like this..

Can I access time capsule file without using imac

can I access time capsule file without using imac

From a time machine backup? No. If you mean just a regular file stored on there? Not directly. There are a couple of apps out there where you can indirectly get to a file but it's a pain. If you have need of accessing a file both from the mac and the iPad then I suggest DropBox. You get 2GB free and it's a good way to share information between machines and devices.

Using Time Capsule with Linksys WPS54GU2 print server

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with using the Time Capsule with the above print server. I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work with WEP encryption turned on (WEP or no encryption is all the Linksys supports). Before I upgraded to the Time Capsule, I was using a 40-bit encryption key and everything was fine. It appears that you can only use 128-bit encryption on WEP with the Time Capsule, so I had to change keys. I haven't been able to ping the print server unless it's wired or encryption is turned off.
On top of this, I've also tried to run the old router with 128-bit WEP using the same key, and that doesn't work either, so it would seem to point to the print server as the culprit. I'm running the latest firmware on both devices.

Did you ever get this to work? I've got a similar Print Server and its WPS54G. PS was working wireless and now after adding the Time Capsule it no longer does.

Internet - AirPort Extreme (b/g) - Time Capsule - File Server

I've got a small office network where files are served off a Mac mini, and iMacs connected via 802.11n wifi to the wired mini via Time Capsule. I have a spare AEBS (b/g) that I was thinking of setting it up for iPhone and guest access of internet. To keep the mini and iMacs secure, the set-up would be:
Internet -> AirPort Extreme (b/g) -> Time Capsule -> Mac mini and iMacs
The only issue I'm contemplating - the slower Ethernet ports on the Extreme - which I don't think is a problem for connecting to the Internet. Is there anything else I should be concerned about regarding network performance?
Thanks in advance for the collective wisdom!

That would work. The Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is faster than your internet connection so you shouldn't have a problem.
