RE: FTP GETFILE Read Timed Out Error
Hi, Patrick... I've been working with cfftp recently and noticed it's been throwing an error (hanging and timing out) on a particular file. I tried downloading it with a third-party ftp program (FileZilla) just to make sure the file wasn't corrupted. It wasn't, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Perhaps downloading with FileZilla or something else like that will give some clues...

Re: FTP GETFILE Read Timed Out Error
This may seem really silly to ask, but how much time is elapsing before the timeout error? 900 seconds should be giving you 15 minutes. What happens when you try to download it with a regular FTP utility? If you check the server's network usage during the download, does it show incoming traffic? If you look at a stack trace, what is it doing while it downloads? Do you have any firewall settings that might be timing out TCP sessions? Are you using passive FTP? If you run netstat on the server while it is transferring, what ports do you see in use, and what is the status of the connection? If cfftp uses a temp directory to write files to, can you watch it and see if your temp file is growing during the transfer? (cf_root/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/ might be the location of the temp dir, but it's a guess) ~Brad ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I have had a little exp. with the Team API, but as yet still don't grok it. I'll fer sher try to help tho, in some wayform or another. :-) If you install this plugin: SFTP, WebDav, FTP : http://www.jcraft.com/eclipse-sftp/ Or get the FTP/WebDAV stuff from eclipse itself, you'll be able to 1.Create a new blank project (you can also use an existing one, theoretically.) 2.Go to File Import, Other FTP 3.Select the project you created (or already had, I guess) 4.Create the FTP site, and select the resources (files) to sync (at least one). 5.Click finish, then edit a file you just got. 6.Open the Synchronize view, click on the little arrow next to the first icon on the left-most side of the row of icons at the top of the synchronize view, which should have Synchronize... as the last option. 7.Select FTP, then the top level folder (so all new/changed stuff will show later). 8.Not sure what Scope means, but I generally select the project I'm syncing, (prior to step 6, after 5) and leave Selected Resources checked for that option. Now you'll have a list of all the files that are modified, locally or on the server, and can upload or download by left clicking on the files, or groups of files. Nifty part is that it's real time, after you do the sync the first time, all new local changes automagically appear in the Outgoing Mode sync view! ** Not sure if many people know about it, or maybe it doesn't work that well, but I can tell you that the SFTP part has worked fine for me at least. I don't do any FTPing for dev stuff anymore, so YMMV. Actually, even the SFTP is rare now...

Re: FTP Server
I take a couple of days off and come back to find a jihad is winding down... As a side note, I installed a copy of Serv-U on my first dedicated box and, within 24 hours, I was hacked, with little folders everywhere holding a text file saying I was owned by Lord So-and-So. Once I pulled my head out of my butt, I realized I had set it up to allow anonymous ftp. Fixed my config and have never had an incident since.

RE: FTP Server
Matt- I had the same issue one time. I allowed anonymous to do everything (except execute) and someone hacked in and created a bunch of folders that I couldn't get rid of. That was just stupidity on my part. Other than that, Serv-U FTP seems pretty good. I'd really like to be able to afford and use the more expensive versions that allow ODBC integration for access control. That would be awesome for me to be able to create accounts on the fly in a database instead of screwing with the weird text files that serv-u uses for account creation/access.

This FTP server, originally called FTP Serv-U, is used as a tool by several backdoors and denial-of-service tools. It is important to understand that FTP Serv-U is not malicious per se; instead it provides functions that can enable hackers to set up remote access to files on the local computer.

RE: FTP Server
I agree... Serv-U has been targeted by hackers because it has (had) a lot of exploits. I'm not sure how the current version is, but previous versions I'm guessing were plagued by security holes. Just like Internet Explorer. And yes, you should also try to steer clear of IE, because it's popular with the hacker crowd. Not popular in that way that they use it, but popular because it's plagued with security holes.

Re: FTP Server
Dan: That may be...but the fact of the matter remains that I personally had put ServU on my machine, and shortly thereafter was hacked. Found a ridiculous amount of porn (really really bad porn...the worst porn I ever spent 20 straight hours watching) on my machine (along with the aforementioned accounts created with god-like permissions on drives A-Z). Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a network guy/system administrator. Could I have set it up in an insecure manner? Sure. It's possible. But I've also used bulletproof, IIS's FTP (bleh), and filezilla...all with no issues (that I'm aware of, at least) :) So in my mind, regardless of what I've read...the problem was Serv-U. However, this was roughly 4 years ago. If new versions are more secure, that's fair enough and a perfectly valid answer.

Re: FTP Server
Exactly -- Serv-U isn't often reported to be a favorite target of hackers in any of the links provided or in any of the 1st page results I got Googling Serv-U security holes. It's more often reported to be a favorite tool of hackers. Hackers used Serv-U because they could install it on your machine without you knowing it and use your bandwidth and power for their FTP server. Virtually every program that is open to the internet has been compromised at some point since its development. My point is that just because hackers use Serv-U, doesn't say ANYTHING bad about the program at all. When you do find some write-ups of security issues with Serv-U's older versions, they are almost always attributed to the Windows OS on which it's installed. Even the buffer overrun problems in 2.5 that I read about were OS issues which the software had to go out of its way to address in the security patches. --Ferg Dan G.

Yeah, compare Windows and any other OS. which is more targeted? Windows. When you see side-by-side comparisons of pros/cons, what's going to be in the 'con' column? Targeted by hackers. Does that make Windows 'bad' per se (and no, that's not an opening for a holy war)? The original question asked about FTP programs other than the built in IIS program. My experience with Serv-U was that it allowed my machine to be hacked. Filezilla, to date, has not. I'm sorry...I mean, I respect the hell outta ya Dave, I really do. But I just don't see how mentioning that a specific application is a popular hacker tool is wrong. I don't see how that fact would not be construed as a negative aspect. And again, if, as Dan suggested, newer versions are more secure (and they might very well be...I've not used Serv-U for quite some time now), then the point is moot and the answer would have been, that may have been true in the past, but is no longer a concern (or a significant concern). -- Charlie Griefer ...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

RE: FTP Server
But that still doesn't make it a good thing, Dave. Yeah, compare Windows and any other OS. which is more targeted? Windows. When you see side-by-side comparisons of pros/cons, what's going to be in the 'con' column? Targeted by hackers. Does that make Windows 'bad' per se (and no, that's not an opening for a holy war)? The original question asked about FTP programs other than the built in IIS program. My experience with Serv-U was that it allowed my machine to be hacked. Filezilla, to date, has not. I'm sorry...I mean, I respect the hell outta ya Dave, I really do. But I just don't see how mentioning that a specific application is a popular hacker tool is wrong. I don't see how that fact would not be construed as a negative aspect. There's a fundamental difference between targeted by hackers and used by hackers. The former is bad, the latter not so much. If someone compromises your machine and chooses to install an FTP server, his choice will be driven by many of the same factors as my own in choosing what FTP server to use. What works best? I use tools all the time that are hacker tools, and I'm no hacker (in the pejorative sense of the word, anyway). I use them because they do what I need them to do, better than the alternatives. As for whether Serv-U allowed your machine to be hacked, are you sure that was where the vulnerability was? Just because someone was using your FTP server after your server was compromised, doesn't mean that it was compromised through the FTP server.

RE: FTP Server
Dave, A very common virus/trojan technique is to create new a serv-u.ini file as a part of the payload - which in the case of an existing serv-u server overwrites the old serv-u ini file and changes the configuration of the server. A quick seach at symantec security turned up this technique quite a number of times - though nothing terribly recent. My guess is that this is what charlie experienced. -Mark Mark A.

RE: FTP Server
Charlie, Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a network guy/system administrator. Could I have set it up in an insecure manner? Sure. It's possible. But I've also used bulletproof, IIS's FTP (bleh), and filezilla...all with no issues (that I'm aware of, at least) :) So in my mind, regardless of what I've read...the problem was Serv-U. In your case, maybe it was. I just wanted to point out that the articles you posted all related to how hackers tend to use Serv-U as a way to install backdoor, isn't a security issue with Serv-U--it's just their tool of choice. Generally speaking, they've probably gotten into your server via other means and just installed the tool w/out your knowledge. I do know that there have been a couple of severe security bugs in Serv-U found, but in my experience they have been found, reported and squashed pretty quickly. However, I haven't used the last couple of versions of Serv-U as the old version always worked great for me... -Dan ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:220589 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: FTP Server
Serv-u is only targeted when an exploit is discovered, just like any other product. They probably tend to come to light more often with serv-u because it is the hackers FTP server of choice. I think people tend to confuse the fact that serv-u gets hacked, because when servers get hacked and turned into warez servers, you will usually find a copy of serv-u installed. This does not mean serv-u got hacked, cozz the server may not have had serv-u instalel din the first, the hacker installed it himself afte rhe got access to your server. But all said and and done, those fcats did put me off, and I moved to Gene6 FTP, which I personally think is a superior product, and that's after having used serv-u for several years as well as several other fTP servers.

RE: FTP Server
Gene6 ftp So far it's the best of all the ones i have tried, and it's a good price too. I used to be a serv-u user, but it got to expensive, and there have been a fair few security vulnerabilities for it too. The other annoying thing is that it is the FTP server that most hackers use, and thus a lot of virus scanners will pick it up, or if you do get hacked you might not notice if your running serv-u anyway.

Re: FTP Subversion
I finally got an answer froj Ipswitch. They said, I doubt you would be able to do that with a regular transfer. However with synchronized transfers, you have an option to add exclusion rules for files and folders. I was able to easily add and exclusion rules for .svn folders and it works perfectly. Before anyone tells me to search the archives, please read my thread I just posted under Source Control http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/messages.cfm/forumid:4/threadid:42443# 219461 I am having a hard time setting up a filter for WS_FTP Pro to not upload a Subversion directory. How do others use Subversion and WS_FTP Pro? I thought of exporting from Subversion to get a clean copy, and then ftping the clean copy, but that would be a pain as changes to the site occur. What I would like to do is just filter .svn directories so WS_FTP Pro ignores them. I've posted to the Ipswitch forum, but that forum is useless! I also thought about asking the web host to setup Subversion on the web sever, though I doubt that is going to happen. Any help or comments would be appreciated!

One of our clients pushes a daily data feed to their FTP server, which we log in to using a scheduled task in CF and download the file and process the data feed. Since we upgraded to CF7, it appears that CF's FTP connection can't see that file (neither a directory listing nor a File Exists can seee it). If I manually log into the FTP server (using the exact same username and password), I'm able to see the file. If I then copy the file to some other name, CF can now see the new file. If I delete the original and rename the copy back to the original's name, CF can now see the file under the original name.

On 8/9/05, Jim Davis wrote: Are you logging into the FTP server manually on the CF box? Because of IP restrictions on the FTP server, the only way to log in to the FTP site is via the CF box. So, the way I'm testing this is: 1) Run the scheduled task which ftps into the machine and do a dump of the directory listing. This dump doesn't display every file. 2) From the CF box, use command line FTP (using the exact same login info as CF uses) and do a directory listing. It displays every file. If it's a windows machine you can easily create a command line batch file to do the task and run it (via CFEXECUTE) using CF Schedule. If all else fails this might be a good stopgap to get you up and running. I'm not exactly clear how that would fix the problem. If the scheduled task isn't seeing every file, how would running that scheduled task via cfexecute cause it to now see every file? Creating a batch file might not be a bad idea in any case - at least it can be used to test connectivity when CF is having problems. CF isn't having connectivity problems. It can connect to the server without any problem. It just can't see every file it's supposed to be seeing. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

You're not running the CF task via CFEXECUTE, you're running a DOS Batch file which would use the Windows command line FTP program to do the actual FTP work. You'd be taking CF out of the loop when it comes to FTP. CF would just be launching the process and reaping the spoils but not doing any of the actual work.

One of our clients pushes a daily data feed to their FTP server, which we log in to using a scheduled task in CF and download the file and process the data feed. Since we upgraded to CF7, it appears that CF's FTP connection can't see that file (neither a directory listing nor a File Exists can seee it). If I manually log into the FTP server (using the exact same username and password), I'm able to see the file. If I then copy the file to some other name, CF can now see the new file. If I delete the original and rename the copy back to the original's name, CF can now see the file under the original name. To me, this sounds like some weird permissions issue, but why would I be able to see the file when manually FTP-ing in with the same exact credentials? Any ideas?

Re: FTP ListDir not working in 7?
Here's a follow-up, in case anyone has any ideas. I tried putting another file on the server (in this case, a .cfm file, because putting up a .txt file or a .csv file for some reason causes CF to throw an error on the ftp page). Now, when I run our file, CF can see the .cfm file I put up, but not the .pgp file. So, does anyone have any idea why CFFTP wouldn't be able to see .pgp files?

Re: FTP client that works like Dreamweaver's site manager?
Hi Ian
I use ANT http://ant.apache.org, where you can see the whole
documentation of what you have to do (you might need to add more a
java library for FTP but I am not sure)
The basic process is to add a build.xml to the root of your project
and add the comans in there something along the lines of:
project name=myProj default=ftp basedir=.
property name=ftpserver value=ftp.myserver.com /
property name=ftplogin value=mark /
property name=ftppass value=wotsit /
target name=ftp
ftp server=${ftpserver}
remotedir=www/
userid=${ftplogin}
password=${ftppass}
filesetfile=${build}/test.txt/
/ftp
/target
target name=complete depends=ftp
echoFinished/echo
/target
/project
Then you right click on it and run an ant task it goes off and does it
And can do MANY more things, including sending emails and bulding your
whole Java with javadocs and what not (ok.. eclipse does that anyways)
Hope that helps
Regards
Mark Drew

Can anyone recommend an FTP client that they are really happy with? I've been using CuteFTP 3PointSomething for years and today it dawned on me that there must be a better way. FlashFXP is hands down my favorite for the user-interface. Unfortunately, while it supports SSL it doesn't do SFTP. SecureFX is what I'm using now and I think I like it now better than FileZilla. Very different UI paradigm though. It's basically like Windows Explorer instead of the left-right panes. AbsoluteFTP is the same as SecureFX but without the SFTP feature. -Kevin [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

I like FlashFXP --Original Message Text--- From: Jesse Houwing Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2004 13:57:12 +0100 I've been using FTP Voyager since version 4 and loved it. Tried CuteFTP, CrystalFTP, WS_FTP Pro (euwh), FileZilla, but always went back to FTP Voyager. If you need a good free ftp client, go with Filezilla. Free and well built, updates often and has a developer who listens to wishes.

I take it you're using windows... can't you just use explorer (file explorer not iexplore btw) and type ftp://ftp.server.com in the address bar? I think you can even drag and drop files that way. -- Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

I'm waiting for FileZilla to catch up! My dream ftp-client would have: * norton commander keys/layout * you'd be able to walk the tree in parallell in local/remote pane (you click a directory on the remote server, and you'd enter the same locally) * loads of fancy queue management features, priorities, throttling etc * FXP * loads of hotkeys * fancy client/server synching * support for other protocols (like http/samba) * cut and paste a path to go to that dir (hate that you can't do that in CuteFTP Pro) [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
