I'm trying to log on to my Amazon EC2 cloud server instance with FileZilla, To do this I need to specify a keyfile for SFTP over SSH, However, FileZilla in OS X can't open files in hidden directories. Like for most Mac users, mine are located in ~/.ssh. But alas, when I click on 'Add Keyfile' in 'SFTP Settings' under 'Preferences', the Finder window won't show hidden files. A bit of research turned up, and I do have my Finder set up to view hidden files, so. What's up FileZilla? I would really not like to have to move the contents of my.ssh to ~.

I'd rather not take the easy way out and just use some other client.

• Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. • Connect the bootable installer to a compatible Mac. After, follow these steps to use it. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. • Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal.

Apple seemingly dropped the FTP Server support in Mac OX Lion. Only the GUI has been removed and the FTP Server can be activated. You can still enable it with the command line. To start it type the Terminal command: sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist To stop it: sudo -s launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist [ crarko adds: So if you need FTP, it's still available. It should easy enough to make an AppleScript to toggle this on and off.

I'd probably turn it off while not using it. Behringer x air software windows. And of course if you turn on Remote Login (ssh), that will make SFTP available.]. Best to go with SFTP by enabling Remote Login (SSH).

Transmit supports SFTP, you can do it from the command line as well, if you are on another platform such as Windows and you want to SFTP to your Mac, you can use WinSCP or other SFTP free apps. FTP, Telnet, RSH, etc. All transmit passwords in the clear, and they should be completely removed from service as they are not secure by a long shot. The only reason for FTP is an anonymous FTP server where you login with uid: anonymous and your email address as the password. While this hint will work as stated, it's pretty much incorrect usage of launchctl for the purpose of the hint.

Launchctl load.loads the FTP service into launchd's database of services. When you do an unload, you are telling launchd to not manage it anymore.
