FTP server, Mac OS High Sierra

Yes, the /usr/bin/ftp and telnet images work just fine when copied to /usr/local/bin.

I cannot believe Momma Apple, citing "Security Issues", would remove two of the most basic tools from the Internet Suite, used by literally tens of thousands of CORPORATE applications. By bringing over the 12.x utilities, we now are dependent on images which will no longer have support, ie, will no longer receive security updates the rest of the internet gets. This is better HOW???

See this thread for how the FTP app can help with scanner issues: FTP No Longer works in High Sierra?

There is the venerable rcp(1), and its replacement, rsync(1) for remote network transfer solutions.

Hello, I have tried enabling remote login and using sftp client instead of simple ftp. The Mac simply refused any incoming connection. Anything else I can try?

macOS 10.12.6

Thanks!

And this response was helpful HOW???

Is there a way to do this from the command line? It appears SFTP has been removed from GUI for High Sierra or moved at least. AFP and SMB are the only file sharing that seems to be available.

use: sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ftp-proxy.plist

@ZikMog

Can this be modified with server than for users, permissions, etc.?

I prefere to use homebrew!

I completely agree. File a bug report (bugreport.apple.com) and put it in as a suggestion. If enough of us do it, maybe they will listen.

There is a cheap ftp server in the app store that worked for me. I still think it should be built into the OS--especially a server.
