Re: Trying to send file via ftp - can't connect

[Steven Knowles]

Please ignore - problem solved - ended up being a combination of not  
putting ftp. before the domain I had :-(


Cheers, Steven

I've tried both Cyberduck and FileZilla, both to no avail. I have  
latest version of each ftp client, and latest version of MacOS.  
Username and password definitely correct. For router/modem I use a  
Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway WAG160N, with a Time Capsule hard  
wired to the router.


The error message I get from Cyberduck is "Connection failed".

The error message I get from FileZilla is:

Error:  Connection timed out
Trace:  CFtpControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114)
Trace:  CControlSocket::ResetOperation(2114)
Error:  Could not connect to server

On FileZilla I found a found it has a firewall & configuration  
wizard. A first run of the wizard gave me the message "wrong  
external IP address".


So I went into the web interface for the router, found the "IP  
Address" in the Status panel, and put this IP Address into an option  
within FileZilla's wizard which states "Use the following IP  
Address". Running the Wizard again seemed to indicate success.


I then took the IP address for the router, and in FileZilla's  
Preferences, there is a panel in FTP>Active mode which allows me to  
stipulate an IP address, so I stipulated the IP Address for the  
router (which I'm unsure about because I note NetRegistry's support  
pages stipulate Passive mode - still, in the Preferences>FTP panel,  
I still have Passive checked). Even so, same errors.


In the MacOS System Preferences>Security"Allow all incoming connections".


In the router settings, under Security>Firewall, SPI Firewall  
Protection is disabled.


I reckon it has something to do with this external IP address thing.  
I've tried hard wiring my Mac to the router, but that didn't make  
any difference.


Is there any other obvious settings to anyone which I should be  
changing?


Cheers, Steven

A3 Printing

[John Weekes]

Hi All

A simple question - possibly slightly off-topic.

As Treasurer of a couple of voluntary organisatiions, i need to print 
between 4 &8 A3 spreadsheets each year.


 Because I don't have an A3 printer, I have been gluing A4 paper 
together - a rather messy effect


Is there a company (or individual) who for a fee would print, such a 
small quantity direct to A3 from AppleWorks (preferably) or Excel 
files, for me ?


Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Regards
John

Re: new macbook pro is out

[Ronda Brown]

I was ordering one until I realised it only has One Firewire Port 800  
(400 compatible)


My 17-inch MacBook Pro has Two Firewire Ports 800 & 400.
I use both ports at the same time.

Cheers,
Ronni
