Re: Are there problems with lyx-ftp-server?

Try paste the link in Firefox address field and download with Firefox.
This works fine for me. (Could probably work also with other web browsers,
but I haven¹t tried that).

All the best!

Hello,

to test lyx 2.1.0 beta2 i tried several times download the program from

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2

Everytime there comes a Login screen. I chose login as guest. When i
tried to download the mac-Version the connection break down.

Perhaps I´m doing something wrong? But I don¹t know.

Any ideas?

OK, maybe I was unclear: The upper link will give you a page where you

Thanks Anders. Your report of strange behavior is still difficult for
others to try to reproduce. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but
when you report something like this you want to give as much
information as possible. For example, Click on the LyX suitable for
your need is different for you (Windows?) than for me (Linux). So we
would be clicking on different links! To see if I can reproduce the
problem, we want to click on the same link, using the same OS (if
possible) using the same browser (if possible). Otherwise you will get
a lot of responses of works for me because we are using different
applications to do it. That will not help you. Well, actually it will
if you're able to change OS or change browsers, etc., but it won't
help us figure out if it's a problem on our side or your side.

Which link are you clicking on? With which browser? With which OS?
Have you tried using a different browser? If so, which one? Have you
tried using a different computer? Did it work there?

Thanks for the report. If users can't download the installation file
for LyX, that's definitely a problem and hopefully we can get to the
root cause of it.

Best,

Scott

Hi Scott,

sorry for chiming in… it was Uwe who had the problem and Anders proposed
an alternate solution.

I tried to download the Mac disk image myself (again) and it worked for me.

On a Mac it is like that: when you click on an ftp: link the Finder opens a
new window and than the question user/pass or anonymous (guest) is shown.
After successful login (named or guest) you'll see a regular window with
files just like a local directory. You download some file by dragging it on
your desktop or onto another Finder window. This is how it worked for me.

Perhaps it was a temporary problem or a problem at Uwe's site.

Re: Are there problems with lyx-ftp-server?

[Richard Talley]

That was interesting.

Evidently Firefox had decided for me that it would take over handling the
FTP protocol. When I pasted
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2 into Safari, it
opened Firefox. I hadn't noticed before because I usually use a standalone
FTP client.

I used the RCDefaultApp preference pane (
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/) to give FTP handling back
to Finder. Safari then turned the FTP handling over to Finder and I was
then able to connect as a guest and drag and drop the Mac dmg into my
Downloads folder. A little slow, over 10 minutes to download, but it worked.

Safari 6.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5.

Try paste the link in Firefox address field and download with Firefox.
This works fine for me. (Could probably work also with other web browsers,
but I haven¹t tried that).

All the best!

Hello,

to test lyx 2.1.0 beta2 i tried several times download the program from

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2

Everytime there comes a Login screen. I chose login as guest. When i
tried to download the mac-Version the connection break down.

Perhaps I´m doing something wrong? But I don¹t know.

Any ideas?

Thanks Anders. Your report of strange behavior is still difficult for
others to try to reproduce. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but
when you report something like this you want to give as much
information as possible. For example, Click on the LyX suitable for
your need is different for you (Windows?) than for me (Linux). So we
would be clicking on different links! To see if I can reproduce the
problem, we want to click on the same link, using the same OS (if
possible) using the same browser (if possible). Otherwise you will get
a lot of responses of works for me because we are using different
applications to do it. That will not help you. Well, actually it will
if you're able to change OS or change browsers, etc., but it won't
help us figure out if it's a problem on our side or your side.

Which link are you clicking on? With which browser? With which OS?
Have you tried using a different browser? If so, which one? Have you
tried using a different computer? Did it work there?

Thanks for the report. If users can't download the installation file
for LyX, that's definitely a problem and hopefully we can get to the
root cause of it.

Best,

Scott

Hi Scott,

sorry for chiming in… it was Uwe who had the problem and Anders proposed
an alternate solution.

I tried to download the Mac disk image myself (again) and it worked for me.

On a Mac it is like that: when you click on an ftp: link the Finder opens a
new window and than the question user/pass or anonymous (guest) is shown.
After successful login (named or guest) you'll see a regular window with
files just like a local directory. You download some file by dragging it on
your desktop or onto another Finder window. This is how it worked for me.

Perhaps it was a temporary problem or a problem at Uwe's site.

Thanks Anders. Your report of strange behavior is still difficult for
others to try to reproduce. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but
when you report something like this you want to give as much
information as possible. For example, "Click on the LyX suitable for
your need" is different for you (Windows?) than for me (Linux). So we
would be clicking on different links! To see if I can reproduce the
problem, we want to click on the same link, using the same OS (if
possible) using the same browser (if possible). Otherwise you will get
a lot of responses of "works for me" because we are using different
applications to do it. That will not help you. Well, actually it will
if you're able to change OS or change browsers, etc., but it won't
help us figure out if it's a problem on our side or your side.

Which link are you clicking on? With which browser? With which OS?
Have you tried using a different browser? If so, which one? Have you
tried using a different computer? Did it work there?

Thanks for the report. If users can't download the installation file
for LyX, that's definitely a problem and hopefully we can get to the
root cause of it.

Best,

Scott

Hi Scott,

sorry for chiming in… it was Uwe who had the problem and Anders proposed
an alternate solution.

I tried to download the Mac disk image myself (again) and it worked for me.

Perhaps it was a temporary problem or a problem at Uwe's site.

 OK, maybe I was unclear: The upper link will give you a page where you
 will see all the downloadable files. Click on the LyX suitable for your
 needs and it should download (at least did for me).

Thanks for following up and thanks to Anders for the solultion.

Glad you got it working!

It would be nice if another Mac user could test using Safari.

Re: Are there problems with lyx-ftp-server?

[Richard Talley]

That was interesting.

Evidently Firefox had decided for me that it would take over handling the
FTP protocol. When I pasted
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2 into Safari, it
opened Firefox. I hadn't noticed before because I usually use a standalone
FTP client.

I used the RCDefaultApp preference pane (
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/) to give FTP handling back
to Finder. Safari then turned the FTP handling over to Finder and I was
then able to connect as a guest and drag and drop the Mac dmg into my
Downloads folder. A little slow, over 10 minutes to download, but it worked.

Safari 6.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5.
