Mac os connect to ftp server mac os#

Try to escape the with \ or otherwise trick the finder into getting past it as a delimiter Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems have built-in command-line clients you can use to establish an FTP connection.Here's to hoping they do that for 10.9.Īssuming you are in need of a solution today, here are suggestions to work around it: Just as you're finding it hard to believe this is broken, I find it hard to believe Apple hasn't removed ftp from finder entirely and just pointed people to the Mac App store for a ftp client of their choosing at this point.

From someone that's used to ftp on the command line, it's second nature to think of the as reserved to delineate the user part of the string with the host name part of the string, so perhaps that's a bug that the author of the code introduced. If you absolutely have to have it on the finder, then FuSE with SSHFS is the right answer unless someone can point to something else (that isn't really just FuSE and an SSH module under the hood).I personally am not surprised this is broken, but then again, I have larger faults with Finder's ftp implementation than this problem. As mentioned before, something like Cyberduck or Transmit is the much better option. It's not unusual for FuSE to have performance issues, depending on how well the modules were written.

Install something like Cyberduck or Transmit and let it take over the SFTP protocol from VLC and you should have better luck.Įdit: Also, regarding SSHFS, I assume you ran that through FuSE which allows for a user space filesystem to be mounted and look like a local drive.

You can see this by trying the same command to some other random IP address that isn't running an FTP/FTPS service.Ĭhances are, whatever your connecting to doesn't support FTPS and probably really supports SFTP. It looks like the finder client gives that misleading error message when it can't connect using that protocol (the server doesn't support it). SFTP - tcp/22 = Secure Shell File Transfer (Most common non-CIFS/SMB). (Never really took off outside legacy sites since SFTP was around)

(Not common these days since it's insecure)įTPS = tcp/990 = Explicit Encryption with same protocol as FTP above. You're mixing 3 different protocols in the same post.įTP = tcp/21 = Unencrypted file transfer protocol. This works fine, but it seems to be very slow (much slower than doing it through a standard FTP client).Īny advice about how could I solve this is welcome.

I also tried mounting the volume with sshfs. I found web sites indicating that it is not possible to use Finder to connect through SFTP and other web sites indicating that it is possible. Indeed, I can connect with no problems from the command line using sftp as well as other graphical clients, but I would like to have access through a Finder folder (without using third-party apps). There is no problem with the number of connections, so the message probably does not indicate the real problem. However, it does not work and I always get an error "This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. I use the prefix ftps:// (as suggested in ) because if I use sftp:// it is captured by VLC. I'm trying to connect to an FTP server using the "Connect to server" functionality of Finder.
