Re: ftp server clients for the mac?

[Jonathan Cohn]

I feel a little silly answering this, but there are a few incorrect statements 
here and some expansions:

1. FTP is a protocol and has been available in some form on Macintosh computers 
since the beginning, ftp the original protocol available since 1985 and 
probably earlier was not very secure, the password was transmitted in exactly 
as you typed it, there was no encryption available and it had several other 
faults. Several of those problems with the protocol were fixed in newer 
releases but sftp which is essentially a specialized version of ssh has long 
been considered a better solutions for transferring files between two systems 
where you don’t need much synchronization and can be used as an underlying 
protocol for git. 

What is git? It is a way to keep various versions of files around in a 
distributed system where one can fairly easily go back to an earlier version. 
And yes there are git clients and servers for the Macintosh. 

In terms of finder and FTP it is possible or at least it was inTiger to have 
the finder open a ftp session but if for any reason the TCP connections that 
ftp was using failed, than the finder had a tendency to hang. So Transmit and 
several other clients have been created with better fault tolerance (note that 
transmit can use ftp which is still insecure or other protocols that are better 
secured for privacy). Most of the commercial file transfer clients support 
several protocols and therefor e can make them all appear pretty much 
equivalent. 

I believe that in most cases today when people are asking about ftp they are 
really either thinking about sftp or are using a very limited use case, perhaps 
uploading a new article to a wordpress site or downloading the archives of 
software or documents from sites that want to ensure that the downloads that 
are started are supported by the most ancient of file transfer protocols. (FTP 
uses port 20, and SMTP the original mail sending protocol uses port 25 so as 
you can see FTP has been around a very very long time.

Re: ftp server clients for the mac?

[Jerry Mader]

Are there any server based apps that you can use that make your Mac into an FTP 
server yet that are accessible with the Mac? If there is can someone please let 
me know about it I need one for retrieving music because I buy music from a 
friend of mine and he uploads it using FTP. Well our current solution failed so 
we're looking to use my Mac is the FTP server. Thank you Jerry Mader

I don't think Finder does FTP. Command-K is for connecting to either another 
Mac running as a server, or a SAMBA server, like a NAS box.

If you're serious about FTP, particularly if you want a good and secure 
GUI-based client, the Terminal FTP client does not address either of these 
requirements. Transmit does.

Hi,

cmd-k does indeed work for FTP.  Just enter ftp:// in front of the address and

Re: ftp server clients for the mac?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

There are lots of FTP clients for the Mac and have been available since the 
inception of MacOS X and before.  Some are more accessible than others..  I use 
Transmit and find it very accessible.  try entering FTP into the Search field 
in the App Store and see what comes up.

Re: ftp server clients for the mac?

[Devin Prater]

Well, you can use the Finder, just press Command+K, enter server details, and 
press connect. I believe there are also command-line ftp clients in the 
terminal, and there’s always Emacs.

Hi,

I stand and sit here corrected.  Thanks.  Yes, as long as Remote Login is 
enabled in the Sharing pane of System Prefs, sftp is a viable option.  Sorry

Re: FTP Server.

Apple has decided to stop supporting FTP because it is miserably insecure. You 
can enable SFTP easily by turning on "remote login" in your sharing preferences.

If for some reason you're genuinely forced to use FTP (again, not recommended) 
there may be a linux-style FTP server floating around in homebrew. A cursory 
glance suggests there are several.

If you're transferring files on a local network there are plenty of other

FTP Server is built into Mac OS X.

It is better for you to use SFTP because it is more secure.

Really Simple to turn on.

Re: ftp server

[Chris Blouch]

Because OSX is built on Unix, if you don't mind playing around in 
terminal, you can ftp or sftp to any site to put or get files. No 
special client needed.

Re: Ftp server using the server app

[Chris Blouch]

For #2, I found this hint which says you have to hack the login user's 
ssh shell to use the sftp server so even if they come in that way they 
get the same service.

http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020913055647558

For #1, I would think that the logged in user's access is restricted 
through judicious use of permissions.


I had attempted to set up regular ftp to a mac behind a firewall some 
time ago and never could get it to work right. The ssh stuff seems to 
work without a hitch, as far as firewalls and connections go. I just 
portmap 22 on my public ip side to 22 on the mac behind the firewall. Of 
course, since it was just for me, I never played with all the shell 
login hackery. I imagine you would hit bandwidth constraints before any 
kind of sftp server performance issues would arise.

Re: Ftp server using the server app

[Kjsc Radio]

There is two ways  to enable it. One is  to go in  to the terminal and type in 
a command which I forgot at the moment. But the other one is, to go in  to the 
server app  if you have it. And that can also enable the service. Sent from my

Re: Ftp server using the server app

[Chris Blouch]

Depends on which vintage of OSX you are running. FTP was dropped from 
the sharing control panel a while ago but some variant of


sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist

will get it going again. The port issue will still exist along with 
security problems with FTP in general. It's been a while since I checked 
into this but in addition to opening port 21, once the connection is 
established the FTP server will do all future connections through one or 
more other ports chosen from a pool of available ports, usually ports 
1024-5000. So you have to have in and out traffic allowed on all those 
ports in your firewall, which is why security people frown on FTP. sftp 
only needs port 22, which is the same port as ssh. Also ftp sends all 
text in the clear such as usernames and passwords while sftp encrypts 
everything. Just some stuff to google and think about. If you're just 
doing this on your own internal network the sftp advantages disappear.

Re: ftp server hosting programs,

You could try the OS X Server app.  It may be more than what you need but it 
should do what you're asking for.

Re: ftp server usable in os10?

[Chris Blouch]

Apache is generally known as a web server and is the built-in web server 
you enable when you turn on web sharing. There is also ApacheFTPServer 
which is also from the Apache Software Foundation but is not 
pre-installed on OSX.


http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/

While you could install this on OSX, the tnftp server is quite capable 
and is already installed by default. It is also the default for FreeBSD, 
NetNSD and SuSE Linux so setup info shouldn't be hard to find.

Re: ftp server usable in os10?

[Mark BurningHawk Baxter]

I use Transmit, but I don't actually use the app, just put in the FTP 
information and have it mount as disk, in finder.  While FTP (command K) 
doesn't set the right permissions (even after selecting to log in as 
administrator), and as you say it's pesky slow and sluggish with anything 
large, Transmit seems to be able to mount it with the correct permissions and 
make it run much more smoothly.

Mark Baxter,
If transmit is capable of making ftp servers available in finder, then that is 
just the solution I've been hoping for. I'm going to try it. Chris Blouche, 
thanks for your help along the way for mac fuse, mac fusion and finder. I'll 
let you know how transmit turns out so that we all can benefit.
Paul.

Re: ftp server usable in os10?

[Chris Blouch]

Yup. Sounds like you need to use ftp outside the GUI or add on a third 
part one. Years ago I used Rumpus but I have no idea if they are still 
good. If you're not afraid of mucking about in the unix underbelly then 
do a man ftpd to find out about all the bells and whistles actually 
possible in the tnftp server package that comes with OSX. Only some of 
this stuff is exposed in the comfy GUI. In other words, you can probably 
poke around and use what you already have.

Hi Chris, Sorry to speak for someone else but the ftp-server-under-lion-thing 
interests me as well.
The problem with the built-in server is, that, if you have a very large 
userbase, which I know Paul does have it will be a hell of a job to add them 
all one by one. Thats why he (and I too) am looking for a third party ftp 
server application for the mac.
I have searched yesterday but coudnt find one in the appstore or through a 
quick google.

checked FTP requires a whole range of ports to be opened as it shifts 
connections around, making firewalls into Swiss cheese. Might be time to 
reconsider sftp.

Dear listers,
I have an ftp server running under windows. It has over 50 user accounts now, 
but the machine is very old, and some day sooner or later, I will have to 
replace it. Do I need ftp server software on a mac, or is it already built in?
If it is built in, can it have separate user accounts, so that I don't have to 
create each one in users and groups, but rather inside the server software 
itself so that accounts are local there?
Can I use an alternative port instead of 21?
Are there any security risks, more  than running an ftp server program under 
windows on the lan?
Very interested.
Paul.

Re: ftp server

[Ryan Mann]

Hello.  Mac OS has a built-in FTP server.  You should be able to  
enable it by doing the following:
1.  Go to System Preferences.
2.  Once you are in System Preferences, go into sharing.
3.  Interact with the services table.
4.  Arrow through the list of services until you get to file sharing,  
then check that service.
5.  Stop interacting with the services table, then use your usual  
VoiceOver navigation to get to the options button.
6.  Check the checkbox to share files using FTP.
After that, you should be able to log into the FTP server using your  
regular username and password.
I hope that was enough instruction.

 Hi Everyone, I guess  everyone has noticed by now that I am for the
 first time using my mac full time because my winbdows pc has totally
 crashed. My brother wants to buy it but only in januari, i dont want
 to go through all the hassle of reinstalling windows xp in the
 meantime. In a few weeks i will get a new broadband connection 4mbit
 upload 50mbit download so I guess i will get a usenet account at that
 time. But, is it possible to set up an ftp server on the mac? I would
 like for people to be able to upload files tome and for me to place
 stuff on my server for other people. Are there any options for sl I
 know transmit is only a client...
 Thanks a lot for all the help and info folks!
