Re: Are there problems with lyx-ftp-server?
That was interesting. Evidently Firefox had decided for me that it would take over handling the FTP protocol. When I pasted ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2 into Safari, it opened Firefox. I hadn't noticed before because I usually use a standalone FTP client. I used the RCDefaultApp preference pane ( http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/) to give FTP handling back to Finder. Safari then turned the FTP handling over to Finder and I was then able to connect as a guest and drag and drop the Mac dmg into my Downloads folder. A little slow, over 10 minutes to download, but it worked. Safari 6.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5. -- Rich On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 1:38 PM, Scott Kostyshak wrote: > On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 3:04 PM, Uwe Ade wrote: > > Hello, > > > > me again.

Hello, me again. Sorry for the disagreeability. I have the problem with safari und Pathfinder on my mac. The Download doesn’t work. As I read the tip from Anders i installed Firefox and the download and the installation of lyx works fine. In Future i will try to give more and clear descriptions.

Hi Scott, sorry for chiming in… it was Uwe who had the problem and Anders proposed an alternate solution. I tried to download the Mac disk image myself (again) and it worked for me. On a Mac it is like that: when you click on an ftp: link the Finder opens a new window and than the question user/pass or anonymous (guest) is shown. After successful login (named or guest) you'll see a regular window with files just like a local directory. You download some file by dragging it on your desktop or onto another Finder window. This is how it worked for me. Perhaps it was a temporary problem or a problem at Uwe's site. Stephan

I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but when you report something like this you want to give as much information as possible. For example, "Click on the LyX suitable for your need" is different for you (Windows?) than for me (Linux). So we would be clicking on different links! To see if I can reproduce the problem, we want to click on the same link, using the same OS (if possible) using the same browser (if possible). Otherwise you will get a lot of responses of "works for me" because we are using different applications to do it. That will not help you. Well, actually it will if you're able to change OS or change browsers, etc., but it won't help us figure out if it's a problem on our side or your side. Which link are you clicking on? With which browser? With which OS? Have you tried using a different browser? If so, which one? Have you tried using a different computer? Did it work there? Thanks for the report. If users can't download the installation file for LyX, that's definitely a problem and hopefully we can get to the root cause of it. Best, Scott
