I don't know what version of Mac OS you are running but may be that they have the servers configured for "Windows Authentication" (assuming that your systems are joined to a domain) and don't have basic ftp authentication configured.
-----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anastasia Coles Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 10:48 To: G-List Subject: OT Macs on Networks Folks, More and more I'm confronted with the problem of troubleshooting the handful of Macs on the network at work. But I know nothing about networks. A lot of the time, I think the problems have to do with the server being configured somewhat exclusively for PCs. For instance, right now, the network admin says that the Windows 2000 server is configured to allow FTP access (actually after I protested when they tried to make it FrontPage access only). But for some reason, FTP only works from the Windows machines on the network and not the Macs. We tried Fetch, CuteFTP, FTP through Dreamweaver and get various, "no directory"-type errors. My suspicion is that the admins have configured some standard, Windows setting that somehow blocks non-Windows OSes (or maybe I'm paranoid) -- but I don't even know enough to tell the admins where they should go to find out how to fix this problem (and they're not moving too fast to find out on their own). Which brings me to my main question, is there a good listserv for this type of problem? A listserv for lone Macs on Windows networks with admins who don't know Macs?
