Comments on: Easy FTP with OS X http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2003/07/22/easy-ftp-with-os-x/ Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:56:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.1 By: mike http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2003/07/22/easy-ftp-with-os-x/comment-page-1/#comment-782 Sun, 24 Aug 2003 01:44:34 +0000 http://mottram.textdriven.com/weblog/?p=412#comment-782 As far as I have been able to determine, this grants only read-only access even when a username that should have read-write is supplied. Furthermore, permissions on the FTP side do not work as you would expect (from using a dedicated FTP program). The permissions that apply to you, when using OS/X FTP in this way (vs. a dedicated program) are those which are granted to “others,” not “self” or “group.” (i.e. the —- —- XXX) bits.
Thus I have found that while this OS/X feature is tantalizingly close to perfect, I’m back to using the FTP program from a (yuck!) Terminal shell.

I’m not sure if you can put in a user/pass ahead of time…

I can’t seem to and it keeps putting me in the anonymous area.

Can’t fix that unless I know which user you are. If you aren’t a user, you shouldn’t be able to do anything but read.

the remote directory read-only. Even
if the user/pass I supplied should have
write access.

This makes it only half work.

Am I missing something?

Back to trusty Transmit…

I wouldn’t rely on it 100%…
