What FTP server do people use, ideally free?
What FTP server have people found to be the best? I hear the built in one is not great and haven't been able to find the GUI editor for settings for it. Is there a free on out there that people really like, I hear good things about pure ftp. I'd like something that was easy to configure and manage ideally.
Is this a case of premature optimization?
Try the integrated ftp server within Mac OS X Server. See if it works. (If you're operating at the free level, that usually also means you don't want to add even the free stuff, as even the free stuff costs you time and effort. Sometimes the free stuff even costs vastly more than the commercial stuff, but that's another topic.)
Regardless of what tools you choose, this is ftp, which means it lacks all concepts of security and it stinks around any firewalls. And these limitations and exposures and difficulties are inherent to any ftp implementation. And to successfully use ftp, you can need to open swaths of ports on the client firewall or the server firewall, and (this is where maintaining ftp can get particularly "interesting") on intervening network firewalls.
Mac OS X Server (also) offers WebDAV, NFS, SMB, AFS and probably a few other protocols. These are managed with a combination of Server Admin and WorkGroup Manager and (though I tend to avoid it) can probably also be managed via Server Preferences.
Mac OS X Server and Mac OS X client also have clients for these protocols via the command line and via Finder.
I'm not sure how we got to a discussion of cloud storage providers here, either.

What FTP servers can I use and what is the URL of it. Help me! Due on Wed.
I want to up load my website but I do not know what FTP server to use. I find a FTP server but not know what's the URL.
You need a webhosting package. With or without a domainname.
So you have to find one first.
To find webhosting type the word in the search field of your browser.
If you have internet access you can check with your ISP too.
And with a domainname it's very easy to determine the URL : http://www.yourdomainname.com -
CSS 11501 ftp server setup problem using non-standard port
Dear Expert,
we would like to setup FTP server over CSS where our member sever use non-std-port to open both control/data channel (i.e. 6370 as ctrl and 6369 as data this case.) but seems we only get Passive mode FTP mode work only but not for Active mode FTP case for data channel establishement for server back to client...is there any professional advise can help on this case...? here is our setup info FYI

What we can notice is seems the data port connection is fail to open for server back to client....for our general sense..... the flow expected should be:
TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:6370
TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 6379 [on demand generated between server/client]
but we can only see session B fail to setup when client side access VIP site on CSS..even we try to put the most standard case as below
TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:21
TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 20
we still unable to make the Active mode FTP access work either...hence we got no idea on how CSS handle FTP access when it involve services over multiple tcp ports..
and from CSS xlate view...the problem is we can only see what NAT IP that used in CSS connect to client...but no way to confirm for which port for VIP using outgoing to client. neither it is dropped by CSS..nor it is never setup from VIP to Client side. -
Java ftp server which can use LDAP, how to integrate with WLS' implementation of LDAP?
Howdy.
I'm setting up a java ftp server
(http://www.mycgiserver.com/~ranab/ftp/index.html) which is capable of using
LDAP for it's user security. I would like to integrate this ftp server with
wls' implementation of LDAP so I only have to admin one user list.
Does wls put it's user list in the LDAP or in it's own proprietary setup? I
tried playing around with it, but the users don't seem to appear in the JNDI
tree. Is this where the LDAP stuff is located? I thought it was in there?
If it's in it's own setup, is there a way to propagate the users to LDAP?
If these look like newbie Q&A, I guess they kind of are, I'm new to LDAP.
Thanks for any input you might have.Peter,
If you are talking about using the embedded LDAP server in WLS 7.0 for this purpose
I think you are going done the wrong path.
Look at the following URL on how to use an external LDAP server for your custom
application

Load Balancing FTP Server thru CSM using a single Client IP
Hello,
We have a need to load balance 3 FTP servers. These servers are reached only from a single client IP which is a database server. The FTP method that is being used is currently passive. Our configuration is currently unidirectional, ie, the FTP client (the one database server) sends to the VIP and the FTP Servers then talk directly back to the FTP client and the traffic does not go back through the CSM. The problem is that because FTP negotiates another port to talk on, we have to use sticky so that the connection is sent back to the original FTP server that sent the FTP data port to talk on. But, since we only have a single client IP that is ever used we are not load balancing appropriately across the FTP servers.
Traffic flow goes something like this, tcp port followed after colon as an example
1. FTP Client ----> VIP:21
2. CSM ---------> FTP Server:21
3. FTP Server --------> FTP Client(FTP server says come talk to me on port 1700)
4. FTP Client ---------> VIP:1700
5. CSM ---------> FTP Server:1700
6. FTP Server:1700 ---------> FTP Client

What FTP server is good for iWeb
Iweb just ate 7 years of images off all my old blogs and articles. I have limited machine back ups.
Tech support for 3.5 hrs was useless.
What FTP servers are iWeb users looking at to transfer to?Any good hosting company will give you better service and tech support than MobileMe. Make sure you get a Linux account and that support is available 24/7.
Most offer a 30 trial and this page also has a link to free hosting which I have tested out...

I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!! I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library? -
What application server to be used with JDev 10.1.3.4 applications
To experts and anybody who know
Hi,
I am completely new to application servers. We have an application developed using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 that needs to be deployed. We have not used any Oracle's application servers yet, and need to choose one. We have in our mind that some day we will use JDeveloper 11 for development. The issue is to choose the right server software.
As far as we know there are Oracle Application Server and Weblogic Server (when you download JDeveloper 11 it seems Weblogic server bound to it). And these servers have different versions. We want to choose one that is compatible with both applications developed using JDev 10.1.3.4 and those developed using JDev 11 in the future.
Any advice what server and what version to choose? We will run the server on Solaris unix platform.
Many thanks for your advice!
NewmanThis question is probably best asked in the JDeveloper forum.
JDeveloper and ADF
JDeveloper 10g should be able to do deployments to certain WebLogic versions, but it depends on what kind of application you are developing. When you write your post on the JDev forum, I suggest you describe the applications that you are developing and what features they use. For example, are these applications based on ADF? -
What can I do to use my free apple ID
WHy they keep asking me to verify my free apple id?
What do you mean by verify? When you create one Apple sends an email to the email address you specified and you have to go to the link provided in the email to verify the account.
Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation. -
Running tasks in parallel - what SQL Server technology to use?
Hi,
we need to process this situation:
There is one "central" database (contains all data). There are many branch-databases (contain data copied from central database). Central and branch-databases are on different servers.
Records are inserted/updated only into central database. These records then need to be inserted/updated to branch-databases. There is also some synchro logic (not all tables, not all records, not all columns, other conditions...). This kind of synchronization
process is executed by user (not autorun).
Suppose stored procedure SynchronizeDataToBranch(@BranchID int). We need to run this procedure for every branch. Running should be in parallel. How to achieve this?
Thank you
Mirek VanickýTo do what you describe, you would need to create an SSIS package with an Execute SQL Task for every branch to run at the same time. However, SSIS will limit the number of objects running by the number of CPUs.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlperf/archive/2007/05/11/implement-parallel-execution-in-ssis.aspx
I would suggest you look at Transactional Replication with a filter, instead. Once setup, it will not require any maintenance and be automatic.

How can i do scheduled automatic backups to an ftp server in ios xr?
Hello guys! As the title says im looking forward to automatically back up my running config on a cisco CRS-1 to an FTP server. I was only able to find this config example:
Configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://A.B.C.D/myconfig.txt
This allows me to save my config to an ftp server everytime i use commit on the device. Now i want to know if there's a way to automatically save my configs everyday at 00:00 and also include the date and time in the name of the file so i don't overwrite the existing files in the ftp server.
I dont want to use any tool i just wanna know if what im asking is possible via CLI commands. I would greatly appreciate your help with this subject.
Regards,
DavidNot sure if this script will work on a CRS, but try this:
archive
log config
logging enable
hidekeys
path tftp:///$h-
write-memory
time-period 10080
Explaination:
There are two ways to save your config to your remote station:
1. When someone saves the config; and
2. At an alloted time period, expressed in 10080 (weekly for me). -

Off-Topic: Unresponsive FTP server
What's the deal with Oracle's FTP Server? Everything used to be smooth, no matter what day or time. Now you get:
* User ftp access denied. Not logged in.
* If you ever do log in, and start GET, the transfer rate gets slower and slower 'til you get no response from the server, so you'll have to cancel and try logging in again and you go back to 'user ftp access denied'.
Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing this? I am downloading the last 40mb of 8iR2 for the last 4 nights.i agree. i have been trying for days to download something from them, and have yet to be successful.
