Has anyone gotten this to work yet?
Authored by: tcurtin on Jan 20, '03 08:39:18AM

I can't imagine why this doesn't work - it should just be a simple ftp command... There are plenty of ftp clients, its a well-understood protocol...

In any case, I'm wondering if anyone's found a workaround yet - I still can't get it to work using 10.2.3, and its keeping me from doing some fairly important work on my mac. (I got used to saving important excel and word files as web pages online - neat feature, which there's no way to duplicate on my mac?!?! Most annoying...)

Here's a fun error that shows up in a console window when trying to ftp. no_worky?! ;)

execstring: /System/Library/Filesystems/ftp.fs/csmount -m /Volumes/ftp.apple.com ftp://ftp.apple.com
no worky! domain:5, error550

OS X FTP -Has anyone gotten this to work yet?

To install FTP, install the BSD packages using the Mac OS X Installer. Use your Mac OS X Installation CD to perform a custom install of the BSD Subsystem (BSD.pkg).

Find it ond Disk 1 under Welcome to Mac OS X > Optional Installs > BSD Subsystem

Note: that's "Subsystem", not the plain old BSD package.
