XI as a FTP server only

Hi folks,
I'm trying to implement this scenario:
send a text file using FTP adapter with XI playing only the role of a FTP server, without parsing the file.
I created both receiver and sender comunication channels, and dummy interfaces in receiver determination (in directory). In repository i didn't do anything.
However the 5 seconds interval seems not to works because nothing happens. what should start the scenario?
Am i missing something?
Best regards.
Valter Oliveira.

Wow, thanks for the fast answer,
thank you all for that.
Michal,
I think so. the pool interval is set to 5 seconds, and the path i believe is correct too. a good clue could be that fact that i'm using the delete mode and the file is still there.
Jai,
My scenario is just like the one in the blog. No IR developments, and the step by step instructions of the scenario are similar to my scenario (so i believe the problem is in the communication channels i created).
Mario,
I checked that too ... i have the write rights.
Cornelius,
There's nothing in the adapter monitor. In the filename i used "CGD*", because the files will all have this patern. CGD+date (without extension).
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards.
Valter Oliveira.

Can someone help me ue my ftp server

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience using the built in ftp server. Heres what I would like to be able to accomplish and everytime I've tried in the past using it I fail. K, All I want woudl be to say, set up a file / folder that friends or say another person can download from my computer. Does this mean I have set up a new user account? Is the ftp server only usable for over local network, like in my house with other connected macs or windows. Can outside people access it or even myself from another computer. One more thing, I use DSL which has a firewall. I've open the ports for the main things I use. However how will this affect ftp server and how would this affect logging in. Hope to hear form someone.
Nathan

In the sharing system preferences you can designate folders that can be accessed by FTP. When you're presented with a login/password request, entering your account password will give you access to all drives and folders to which you already have permission to access (basically, everything on your computer). If you do not provide a login name, the server will present only those folders that are accessible by "everyone" (you can set this in the permissions next to the shared folders you designate in the "Sharing" control panel).
The guest user is the user that's enabled when folks dont enter a password. This allows "everyone" to view folders you designate as "public" (by giving view access to "everyone" as I mentioned above). This user cannot log into the computer, but instead is reserved for network or remote access.
Anyone can connect to your computer with FTP (if they know the ip address) once it's enable, but only you will have access to everything on your computer. If someone enters an incorrect login name it will either refuse them or only give them "guest" access, which is restricted to the shared folders you designate as viewable by "everyone".
If you want guests such as your friends to be able to access files, just put the files in the guest-accessible folders such as the "Public" folder in your home directory. This folder by default is a guest-readable (only read...they cannot write to it) directory that's set up in the system preferences as such for FTP/AFP server access.

Receive file by FTP (Server is restricted to get command only)

Dear all,
I would like to receive a file from a very special FTP server. And I am not sure if the File Adapter is able to handle this:
The FTP server I wand to connect to is a very special one. This server allows only to log in and to receive a specific file. This means that the only allowed command is
get file.dat
It is not possible to change directory or to get the directory listing. When the file was received it is not necessary (and not possible) to delete the catched file. The FTP server notices that the file was received and removes its content. This means that the file will not be removed. So it is always possible to get the file. But in most cases the file is empty (but that should not be a problem - the File Adapter can handle or ignore empty files.).
From my point of view it seems that SAP XI 3.0 SPS17 does not support to interact with this special kind of FTP Server. In RWB I can see the following error message:
"An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'XXX.XXX.XX.X:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 500 -3002 : command : invalid command'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor."
I connected to this FTP server manually. I get this error message when I try a command which is not allowd by the FTP server ("ls" for example). So I guess that SAP XI uses "ls" before catching the file.
Do you have an idea how I can configure the File Adpater to work with this FTP Server properly?
Many thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
This is a tricky one. The set of required ftp commands that need to be supported to be RFC compliant is quite small (see RFC 959) but it seems that the file adapter assumes a certain minimum set (including CWD and LIST, both of which are optional).
There are several options, varying in complexity immensely:
1) Scripting the transfer process so that files are transferred to a local filesystem, from where they can be processed by XI
2) Adjusting the "special ftp server" so that it ignores commands it doesn't understand - I'm guessing this isn't possible?
3) Creating a "more relaxed" ftp JCA adapter, one that doesn't assume a certain minimum set of commands
4) Something else I'm not thinking of so early in the morning
Hope that helps a little...

FTP server permissions "Read Only"

I manage my own website, and would like to use Finder as my FTP medium. I can log into it, and download from it, but I cannot write to it. I have web admin privileges, but I'm unable to UPload to my ftp server.
It runs on the basic port 21, and has run normally in the past, but this is the first time that I've tried to mount it as a volume on a mac.
This way would be so much easier to use than the FTP online protocol that I use.
Thanks in advance,
Superd@ve

Hi, yes,FTP is Read only in the finder in .4. at least.
You can use Terminal commands or a free FTP client such as Cyberduck to get both R&W rights..

Mountain Lion FTP server read only issue

Can anyone help me figure out why my users have read only access via FTP.
1. I created networked users and groups
2. shared some folders
3. activated ftp on one of those shares
First issue was users could access that share via AFP but could not connect via FTP?
Finally I figured out that each user had to have a login shell of /bin/bash.
Aslo had to let each networled user to be bale to log in?
then if i log in with an ftp client it works i can write files but if i log in via finder (apple K) connect to server ftp://server.local i can only get read access and not RW?
I think this may have something to do with passive and active mode but can anyone help?
Why is it so hard to set up?
Thanks

Just so you know the update is, apparently apple has not allowed wright access via ftp thorugh the finder since before 10.2.
So i guess its just one of thos things that apple got rid of.
Sorry unless you use a workaround like. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
Good luck

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,
David

Not 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).

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

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
Thanks,

I want to write a java program that can download and upload files from ftp server. Currently I only manage to upload a file to ftp server but i cant download file from ftp server. Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {

Or just use a java.net.URL("ftp://...) ..., get its input stream, and away you go ...

Download file from ftp server

Can I download files from an ftp server by simply using the ip address or https:// url? I've only gotten this to work by using the "ftp//:" address in previous projects and I'm not getting this to work in many different attempts.
Here is one...
# FTP Config
$FTPHost =

$Password =

$FTPFile =

# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl =
"ftp://" +
$FTPHost +
"/" +
$FTPFile
# Create FTP Connection
$FTPRequest =
[System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::Create("$FTPFileUrl")
$FTPRequest.Credentials
= New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,

Hi!
You don't need to specifically use an IP address. E.g can use
$FTPHost = "myrandomserver.mycompany.com"
$Username = "admin"
$Password = "12345678"
$FTPFile = "test.log"
# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl = "ftp://" + $FTPHost + "/" + $FTPFile

File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server

Hi All,
This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
Any guess as to what is going on here?

Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: File
source directory: /test or test ( either one works)
file name: * or . or *.txt nothing works
server: ftp server name
port: 21
data connection: passive
user: ******
pass: ******
connect mode: permanently
transfer mode: text
QOS: exactly once
poll: 10 secs
processing mode: archive ( changed to test and delete as well, but made no difference.)
archive dir: dir path
file type: text
adapter specific attributes:
checked: set adapter specific attributes
and file name.
status: active.

How to automate a unilateral sync from Aperture to an FTP server?

+You can export multiple Projects at once:+
+1. Select the top-level *Blue Folder*, this will show all the images from all the Projects in it.+
+2. Select all the Versions.+
+3. Export, using the image export preset of your choice, and a folder-naming preset made up of 'Folder Name', '/' & 'Project Name'.+
+This will export the whole lot in one go, into a subfolder structure of 'name of *Blue Folder*'/'Name of Project'. Note that it will only take the name of the topmost *Blue Folder*, so it will only work for single-level *Blue Folder* structures.+
I want to take this one step further. My goal is to have a "mirror" of a given *Blue Folder* (with the projects and sub-folders represented as sub-directories as accomplished by the advice above) not just on my hard drive, but on a (private) FTP server. In essence, I want a significant percentage of my photo database mirrored on an FTP server. Note that this is not for backup purposes but for sharing the contents of my photo library (the portion of it that is appropriate to share--for example photos of family events, travels, etc.)
Currently my workflow is to click the *Blue Folder* that houses all of my family photos, select all versions, and export to a directory as advised above: Folder Name / Project Name. That takes a long time. Then I ftp the entire exported-directory tree to my FTP server. I try to do this cleverly by taking advantage of Yummy FTP's relatively new "sync" feature that compares my source directory tree with the destination directory tree, deletes files on the destination FTP server that aren't in the source file tree and uploads only the files in the source tree that aren't present in the destination tree (i.e. a unidirectional sync).
This works well enough, but it seems like a process that could be readily automated. Does anyone know of an Aperture plugin that can accomplish this workflow? Ubermind's plugin "UberUpload for Aperture" appears to come close, but it doesn't approximate the Project-Name/Folder-Name to directory tree conversion and it doesn't delete files on the destination FTP server, so it doesn't accomplish the unilateral sync I'm looking for.
Are there any other plug-ins I should look at; are there any other plug-ins you know of that might accomplish this task?
Thank you,
George
This is a new question but partially in response to a previous post (here --> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1586469) that was marked answered.

Hmm, that's a possibility, made a little more difficult by the fact that I don't know how to write Applescript. I understand that it's not too difficult to pick up, but that will add to the time required to figure this out (especially if there's no documentation for calls to Aperture--is there really no documentation?). The simplest way to do this with Applescript would probably be to run a script that exports my library of photographs into a file structure as described above, then runs the sync commands available through YummyFTP, and finally deletes the exported files off my hard drive. The major drawbacks to this approach include the long time required for export (and sync if there are a large number of changes) and the need to have a significant amount of free hard drive space (probably 10 gigs in my case) which could be potentially be a problem if one were running low on disk space.

How to configure sync with my local ftp server?

I have used XMarks since now because it hallow me to synchronize my bookmarks with my local server. Now XMarks don't work anymore because it's not more possible to synchronize the passwords.
Any other alternative imposes to use an external server and I don't want to use an external server. My data must remain on my machine it's absolutely excluded that i use an external unknown server for this.
The only solution must be a free solution (a real free solution) and the firefox synchronization seems to me the best/only one.
But I've not found how to configure it to use my own server.
So how to do it, where are the options to the synchronizer to give my own ftp server or whatever other server it needs?

iAS 6.0 sp4 officially does only support iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 sp1 and 4.13.
For more details visit: http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/ias/60/sp4/ig/prep.htm#42084
I guess, you can specify the directory server during the time of installation.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Backup to local ftp server

I have recently bought an ASUS RT-N13U, which is a wireless router with an USB port to which I have attached an external hard disk.
This is to be used to make files available to all computers on the network, but I would also like to use it for automated backups. However, the commands and backup software available on Arch do not seem to handle ftp. For instance "cp -u" works well with source and destination on the same computer - but does not seem to cope with ftp:// designations. rsync seems to require an rsync server which the RT-N13U cannot help with. kbackup cannot yet handle remote servers (according to available documentation), and so on and so on,,
What I want to do is to run (as a cron job):
1. establish an ftp connection (machine, username password)
2. run an equivalent to cp -u on certain directory trees
3. optionally, generate a report on what has been backed up
4. disconnect from the ftp server
Of course, making full backups (even automatically) is not a problem, but has anyone some idea on how to get incremental backups?

As far as I know, the RT-N13U can be a printer server or ftp server - there is nothing in the documentation that indicates that it can be made into a SAMBA or NFS server.
lftpfs says it is read-only, but curlftps may well be the solution. I will experiment with that.
Thanks!
