Using XI as a ftp client

Hello,
I would like to ask that can I use XI 3.0 as a ftp client? I would like to explain the scenerio, below;
We are storing EDI documents on a file server. So, we would like to download those files into a directory located on XI machine, as a first step. Then upload an them into an HP-UX system. Notice that we don't want to change the content of files and its name either, at the destination location. Can we do this? Thank you.

Hi,
These are a few things that you need to take care if your using FTP.
- make sure that FTP server is installed in the host system or the system from which you are picking the file.
- Provide the correct ip address.
- Check the username and password provided for authentication.
- You need to place the file in the root folder that you mention while configuring the FTP server.
- The source folder name will be, /rootfoldername (dont forget the slash and also the folder name should be the root folder name that u have mentioned while configuring the FTP server).
Also check the permissions of the folder where the file is being generated by XI.
I Guess you should first see if the file is being picked... for that do the following.
While configuring your Sender File Adapter, let the mode be DELETE. This way, we will know if the file is being picked by the File adapter. The file will be deleted and you can be sure that it has been picked up.
In your runtime workbench home, there will be a tab, Component Monitoring, click on it. Select status as all, and click on display. The components will be displayed on ur screen. In that, under Integration Server, there will be a link for Adapter Engine. Click on it. Now, scroll down, and u will see a link to adapter monitoring, there under FILE ADAPTER see the log of the file adapter
and also, you can see the flow of your message in the integration engine in SXMB_MONI.

Why to use 3rd party ftp client

why not using the one in iweb?

There are 3 reasons to use a 3rd party ftp client:
1 - if you intend to use the freeiWeb SEO Tool to add Google Analytics, image alternate titles or other metadata to the site's files. This requires publishing to a folder first and you'll need a 3rd party ftp client to upload from there.
2 - if you intend on using a web site optimizer like Web Site Maestro which also requires publishing to a folder first.
3 - if you experience problems using iWeb's built in client. Some users have reported problems with iWeb's client and switching to a 3rd party client like the free Cyberduck solved their problem. Just a matter of need.
If you don't need to add metadata or optimize your site and iWeb performs as it's intended then there's no reason to use a 3rd party client.

Ftp client with "modified only to load" option

is there ftp client which loads up to ftp only the files which were modified?

Also this might be of some help: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.

Issue with Ftp Client / Server using Sockets

I have developed a Ftp Client and a Ftp Server. The client Connects to the Ftp Server and sends files to the ftp server. It is a multi threaded server and can have multiple clients connecting to it.
If a client goes down...the server waits till the client comes up
Similarly the client waits if a server goes down and reconnects when the server is again up and running
i am having a strange issue here. When two clients go down and reconnect to the server...They take a long time to connect and transferring of files takes a long time...
Other wise in all other scenarios the duo work properly.
Any feedback and suggestion about this strange issue from all you java gurus out there will be deeply appreciated.

Please note that this is not an FTP client and server. FTP is defined by a standard IETF protocol and this isn't it.
Then, move the following lines:
din=new DataInputStream(ClientSoc.getInputStream());
dout=new DataOutputStream(ClientSoc.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("FTP Client Connected ...");
System.out.println("External IP of Client ..." + ClientSoc.getInetAddress());
//System.out.println("FTP Client Connected ..."+ClientSoc.getRemoteSocketAddress());from the constructor into the run() method. i.e. don't do anything with the socket in the thread which handles the accept().

Cannot configure wrt54gs v6 router for use with filezilla FTP client

I am new to working with FTP and very rusty on networking in general. I just downloaded filezilla to create a FTP client on my desktop. When I run their wizard, it says the connection is tainted by my router. All the forums for filezilla say I need to configure my router to allow traffic on either port 21 (ftp) or a range of ports ( they suggest 50000 to 50100).
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work
thanks in advance

To answer your other questions, the tutorials have it all wrong. What they really need to explain, but fail to do so, is that the only situation where a FTP client would need to use active mode (the PORT command) is where the FTP server can't accept inbound connections on arbitrary port numbers. But that's a pathological case anyway: the FTP server can always accept connections on some well defined set of port numbers, to keep its own local firewall or NAT router happy. Consequently, there is really no need at all for a FTP client system to open up any ports to support active mode, rather than always operate in passive mode (as browsers do.)
The fact of the matter is that if passive mode works in a browser for you, it will work for Filezilla also.
And the configuration tests it runs are brain damaged. Even though the wizard recommends passive mode, it never tests for it. And it doesn't really test active mode either. What it really tests is whether anything between the client and the server is "transparently" translating IP addresses and port numbers. Such a test is broken, because the mere fact of port numbers being rewritten in TCP packets is irrelevant to whether PORT (active mode) will succeed or fail.
For completeness, in case someone decides to get pedantic, there is a case where a FTP client system would need the active mode PORT command to work, but that case is now of historical interest only. It's a scenario that FTP servers no longer support, for security reasons. (What is it? When the FTP client is operating as a controller to remotely transfer files between two servers: it tells one server to use passive mode, and sends the address/port it gets to the other server in active mode, which in theory would make the second server open a connection to the first. This, in fact, is why two modes, active and passive, were originally defined in the FTP standard!) And it still wouldn't need open ports on the client system.

To offer integrated forms, so like Jotform, there are templates that can be used and upload options to FTP client as well as other built in widgets.

Hi Friends,
I am working in a web based project developed by Servlet.I am using JBoss App Server to handle the web request by http clients. But i need to handle the FTP client also now.So please guide me.
How can i setup (coding) to handle FTP client request?.
What should i change on the server setting?.
I would be very happy if there is a good examples
Thanks in Advance.

HOw to connect FTP Client using flex

Hi Everyone,
i am new to flex, i am developing one flex application, some one give example of connecting ftp client using flex. i didnot found any examples.
thnx

You would need to communicate with your ftp server over a socket and implement the ftp protocol on your client. The project below aims to do this, but I have never used it:
http://maliboo.riaforge.org/
Why not download over http (and save yourself a lot of time)?

Using FTP clients to publish to iWeb

I understand fully that:
http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iWeb/SiteName
is the url for my iWeb site.
My question is how does that translate into the typical required login information of ordinary FTP clients such as Cyberduck?
I have tried many combinations of server names, user names, paths, passwords and NOTHING will get me logged into my iWeb site with an FTP client.
The "Publish" button in iWeb works fine, but for various reasons, I would like to access the site with an ordinary FTP client.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. I am a newbie to Mac and OS X, but have 20 years of serious experience with the MS juggernaut

Like Tom mentioned, your iWeb site actually resides on your iDisk...and transfers to and from your iDisk are accomplished through the webDAV protocol instead of FTP. Goliath is a webDAV client. You can also accomplish an "upload" to your iDisk just by mounting your iDisk to your desktop (Apple-Shift-i) and then dragging and dropping whatever you want to transfer. Windows also supports webDAV, so the dragging and dropping transfers will work there, too, after you mount your iDisk as a network drive.
In terms of the URLs to use, the basic URL for your iDisk is as follows:
http://idisk.mac.com/username
This and any other iDisk URL should prompt for your .Mac username and password.
You can also specify exactly which folder you want to access by appending the appropriate foldername to the end of the basic URL.
As far as how all this fits with iWeb, consider the following example...
http://web.mac.com/username is quasi-equivalent to http://idisk.mac.com/username/Web/Sites/index.html
...Except that it would prompt you for your .Mac username and password. This would be an interesting and alternative way to password protect your site if you wanted to do it with your .Mac user/pass.

FTP client is not working in active mode

Hi,
I have a ftp issue trying to download iweb files.
My provider enabled me a ftp access.
I tried to connect to it with transmit or rbrowser ftp client (passive mode disabled). The connection works well but i can not retrieve the list of files.
However using my PC and filezilla ftp client in active mode, the connection did work properly.
Any idea to help make this connection work on my mac ?
Thanks

Perhaps this will help...
http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
"The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn't make the actual connection to the data port of the server--it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client--something that is usually blocked."

How can FTP users access my NAS system via FTP client?

I recently purchased a 2 bay, 4TB Buffalo Link Station DUO in order to solve some FTP issues. I have about 50 users outside my LAN that need to connect drop files on my NAS, however nobody seems able to connect via FTP client. If they login using the Web Access Dynamic DNS address they can read and write via their web browser, but it's clunky and slow.
My NAS system has been given the IP adress of 192.168.1.254 which seem to me that it's a local IP adress, not a public/static IP. Do I need to manually assign an IP adress to my NAS system in order fot users to log into that specific IP and go directly to the shared folders on the NAS system?
Thanks in advance!

Your NAS is getting that IP because it is behind your Router, which is the normal way to use it and as it should be.
You can not ASSIGN a public IP you your NAS. Only your ISP can do that and usually that incures an extra cost for more than 1 Public IP address. Usually included with a Business account and most of the time only available with a Business account. ISP do not want home owners running FTP or Mail servers on a residential acounts.
As noted you have to forward the noraml FTP port, port 21, in your Router to the IP of the NAS. Since you already have that port forwarded to your Mac, which I have no idea why you did that, you have to either change that port forwarding to the NAS IP or make the FTP server on the NAS respond to some other port and forward that on the router to the IP of the NAS. The to access the NAS FTP server you have to enter the piblic IP address of your router followed with a :and port #. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:22 or whatever port # you assign to the FTP server on the NAS.

Looking for a specific feature in an FTP Client

Hello!
I am looking for a "simple" feature in any FTP client for OS X.
I have tried Fetch, Transmit, CyberDuck and Interarchy 7.x and none had the ability to throttle uploads/downloads. I work with a limited bandwidth and sometimes have to download files (or upload) in the background but at a very slow speed (because the peer has a poor connection).
None of these nice (and they are nice!) ftp programs can do this. I have to either use wget via the command line (wget --limit-rate=xx) or use Total Commander for Windows inside a Parallels Virtual Machine.
Does anybody know about a Mac FTP client that can throttle and enqueue items easily?
Thanks in advance!

Look at "lftp". It as about a zillion parameters that can be set. One of them is "net:limit-total-rate"
Quoted from the Docs....
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to avoid this.
Find lftp here lftp.yar.ru It is also in thr Fink archive. http://fink.sourceforge.net/

FTP Clients on E72: can't get any to work

Hello again.
So, I've been trying to get FTP Client functionality on my Nokia E72. I guess I'm just doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out.
I tried:
* SIC! FTP (native Symbian App)
* PaderSyncFTP (Java)
* MobyExplorer (Java)
None of the applications work on my E72. They do work however (with the same SIM card) on my Nokia 6120 classic.
The applications seemingly try to connect on the E72, however it never actually initiates a packet data connection at all. As if there wouldn't be an application trying to access the Internet.. I also tried to set up WLAN as my primary access point. Works for everything else, but not for those FTP clients.
I tried several FTP servers on different ports (21, 666, 667). All work on 6120 classic, none work on E72. Also tried to switch from passive to active mode to no avail.
Funny thing is: When I use my PuTTY SSH Client on E72 to just probe an FTP servers port, that works! I can see the connection attempt in my FTP Servers logfile, and I can see the Server responding in PuTTY!! But with the actual FTP clients i never even get out into the network, wether I try to use WLAN or 3.5G..
I'm lost. Everything else works. SSH2 using PuTTY works, Skype works, webbrowsing works.
What could be prohibiting all those FTP clients from initiating a connection?! For MobyExplorer I even tried all of its four "connection modes" that they have for "buggy firmwares". Doesn't make a difference at all.
Also: Those apps never ask for an Access Point on the E72, even if the AP is configured to do so.
I have no idea what to do... Any advice would be appreciated! Maybe it's just some strange configuration issue..
Thanks.

Trying to install InDesign (Adobe) but when I double click the Install it calls up FTP Client Ultimate?? What is the install program for MACBook Pro?

I'm new to MAC, that said I really haven't had much trouble with it except today I am trying to install Adobe InDesgin but it keeps trying to use FTP Client Ultimate to do so.. What is the installer that it should be using? I was hoping it would auto start and install but no such luck..

Thanks, I have posted to Adobe regarding their program, but my question here ( I'm new to Mac world) is what install program would normally install this? For some reason my MacBook pro keeps calling on FTP Client Ultimate to do the install and clearly that's not the right program to install a program..
I Love mu Mac, but getting help is a it frustrating...
i'm sure Apple has a program similar to InDesign, but have no idea what it would be..

Uploading iWeb site to personal domain via FTP client (NOT .MAC)

Hello,
I want to upload my iweb created website to my personal domain, in other words I do not want my domain to point to my .mac address.
I am downloading Cyberduck as my FTP client. Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain? Will it be in the right order? How will I update each day? (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site. Will this work? I am totally lost, I had no idea I needed so much background info to blog outside of .mac! I guess I just want to design with iweb, and be able to use all the tools of my AN Hosting and wordpress.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
How will I update each day?
By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
(Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.
