kFTP is a Mac OS X cocoa application that will start and stop the
kftpd (Kerberos FTP Proxy) process for the user without the user
needing to run kftpd from the command line. kFTP will also
quit kftpd when the user quits the kftpproxy application or when
the user logs off.
kftpd was written by the University of Washington and ported to Mac OS X
by Iowa State University IT Services. The kFTP application was written
by Rod Eldridge, Iowa State University, IT Services.
Downloading kftpproxy
Download either the Intel or PowerPC version of kFTP:
If the .dmg image did not mount, double-click on the .dmg image file that
was downloaded.
Drag the kFTP application to either /Applications or /Applications/Utilities.
Starting kftpproxy
You must already have Keberos tickets before running kftpproxy.
You can start the kFTP application two different ways, depending on
your needs:
Starting the kFTP Application Manually
Run the kftpproxy application to start the FTP proxy process. When you quit
the kftpproxy application, the FTP proxy process will also quit.
Starting the kFTP Application Each Time You Login
Add the kFTP application to your Startup/Login Items under System
Preferences -> Account. Then, each time you login, the kFTP application
will start the FTP proxy process. When you logoff, the kFTP application
will automatically quit the FTP proxy process.
Configuring Proxy Settings
After starting the FTP proxy process, you will need to configure the
applications the will use the FTP proxy. Specific instructions on how
to configure Dreamweaver MX/2004 and GoLive are shown below. Other
applications are not covered -- if you have instructions for a
particular application, please forward them to here -- however,
common to all applications, the proxy settings for the Proxy Server and
Proxy Port are:
In the Preferences window select Internet from the side menu.
Check the Use FTP Proxy box.
In the Host: field type 127.0.0.1
In the Port: field type 2021
Click the OK button to close the Preferences window.
Note: In GoLive 8.0 (CS2), there is an issue when setting up the new
site server. You will need to click the "Advanced..." button and
de-select the "Use Standard Framework" checkbox.
