Enable FTP on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server
- by Oleg Trakhman
There is a LAN comprising several mac machines (iMac, Mac Pro, macbook etc.), Airport Express router and Mac Mini Server running OS X Server 10.8 (Mountain Lion Server). I need to share a folder on Mac Mini Server by FTP.
What did I try so far:
Made special partition for FTP Access, call it "Reports" So shared
folder would be "/Volumes/Reports"
Gave access every user and group in system, and also enabled guest
access. I checked posix acl, which is "rwxrwxrwx", I checked sharing
settings in "Preferences.app" and "Server.app"
Checked that users have access to FTP service
Enabled FTP in Server.app
I tried access to shared folder (by FTP):
via Cyberduck
via Finder
via shell: ftp server.local
And what I got:
$ ftp [email protected]
Trying 10.0.2.2...
Connected to server.local.
220 10.0.2.2 FTP server (tnftpd 20100324+GSSAPI) ready.
331 User ftpuser accepted, provide password.
Password:
530 User ftpuser may not use FTP.
and
$ ftp [email protected]
Trying 10.0.2.2...
Connected to server.local.
220 10.0.2.2 FTP server (tnftpd 20100324+GSSAPI) ready.
331 User admin accepted, provide password.
Password:
530 User admin denied by SACL.
ftp: Login failed
ftp>
(admin is administrator account , ftpuser is special user account made to access ftp)
What I'm doing wrong? Getting really tired of this...
