I have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and i can connect to it with remote desktop connection.
Internet connection speed is good in server. In my place some famous websites are blocked like youtube, and all file hosting websites.
I want to download my favorite files from these websites,but downloading speed is very low (after using VPN connection), so I decided to download my files in server first and next to download them by FTP to my PC.
My problem is that I have to connect to server remotely always. Is there anyway or software can does this for me? I do not want to connect remotely!
You have no other options just connect to remote desktop (or VNC, etc).
Or you can setup some very simple proxy on Windows server and point your browser(on your desk) to this proxy.Then traffic will go to your server first and then to your PC.Okay, this does not solve speed throught VPN, but you will not be blocked to restricted sites.If you know exact list of files (URLs) to download, there are many software which can do download work for you (simplest is DownThenAll in FF)

I am brand new to using an FTP server. I just downloaded FileZilla and did nothing different, just kept hitting continue through the insallation and then opened it with the server 127.0.0.1 and the default port.
Now I get this:
Also when I see other people putting their files on the server they have a different looking application than I do. It is split and has two different sides in which they load the files to the server. I do not see how they got to that. I watch a beginners tutorial, but it did not really explain how to get to that part.
You have installed FileZilla server.
While you probably wanted FileZilla client.
I am using Windows 2012 R2 VM machine in Azure. I have read multiple article to setup Filezilla server in this environment. However, I am not successful. Any one faced this issue? Any solution will be greatly appreciated.
Just remember to add Filezilla to Windows Firewall :-)
I'm dealing with the same thing right now. locally the FTP serv works great. remote I cannot establish a passive connection. Based on my research this is because Azure is not set up for Passive-FTP. I am uncertain if we can get FileZilla to operate in a active-FTP mode. Will post back if I ever get to the bottom of it. Mine currently connects and authenticates but 'cannot retrieve directory listing' when it tries to kick over to passive (transfer) mode.
In addition to checking the Virtual Machine endpoints are open, be sure to also add the appropriate Windows Firewall rules if you have Windows Firewall enabled on your Windows VM.
Yes, We can connect to Azure server via FileZilla Client.
Steps:
Login to Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com
Click on App Services.
Select the Site and then click on Get publish profile.
Save the file and open it in notepad.exe.
The file contains 2 <publishProfile> sections. One is for Web Deploy and another for FTP.
Under the <publishProfile> section for FTP make a note of the following values:
publishUrl (hostname only)
userName --------------------------> This is the information you are looking for
userPWD
Add the PublishUrl to Hostname, Username and password in their respective fields.
Connected.

I would like to copy a site which is currently being hosted live on an easyspace web domain to another domain that is hosted by the web company Parallels. I wondered if there was a way of doing this without fist taking the site down and copying the files back to the local server, then re-uploading them again.
If anyone has any advice on this, I would be most grateful!

It is necessary to check if fxp protocol (that is a protocol that supports file transfer between servers) is supported by both servers: but usually is disabled for security reasons. If it is active (make a question to your host admin) than you can use a fxp software as FlashFXP, SmartFTP or FTP Rush (Freeware) or similar sw.
SUPER FAST:
For direct Server to Server file transfers: if you know your ftp url or ip address you can use FlashFXP (not related to adobe flash)
Make a zip file that contains all the live files on your target server. You can do this via command line or easier through your server's cPanel. Compression Time depends on your server's CPU speed and quantity & size of files.
Download a copy of FlashFXP it works well and has a free trial
http://www.flashfxp.com/download
Log-in to your target server, navigate to directory with your target files.
Log-in to your destination server, navigate to directory to store transfered files.
Once connected & directories are visually lined-up... just drag and drop desired files into desired directory on opposing server.
Overall transfer speed depends on internet backbone traffic & each servers connection + cpu speed & throttling controls between your two servers. GOOD NEWS the speed is NOT reliant on your cable modem's connection speed. No slow download and then even slower upload, just a clear straight shot to the other server.

I am working on a large application in team environment. We use to Team Foundation Server to control source code with VS2010.We are using LAN to connect TFS which works great in an small office but now we need to connect TFS through Internet.
What actually I want to know that we have many developers they reside in different location worldwide. We want to download there work directly in the TFS server through Internet like LAN. We will have also connect LAN users who work on this application and want to connect both kind of users parallel.
Note: WE DON'T WANT TO USE VPN.
Is there any possibility to do this kind of work in TFS? Any Help will be appreciated.
You can definately expose TFS over the internet. TFS is basically a set of web services hosted in IIS, just make your server internet-visible and you're set.
There are some security best practices you probably want to consider though:
1) You should configure an SSL cert in IIS and connect to TFS using HTTPS (an option when connecting in VS).
2) You should place your SQL Server database on a separate machine that is not directly exposed to the internet (but is visible to the Application Tier server). SSRS should reside on the AT server, the DB and SSAS should be on the Data Tier server.
I know it is not strictly a programmer question, on the other hand, I would really like to be able to do a simple svn up on the production servers, which would save us a lot of hassle.
Or production servers are within a corporate network, and access is only allowed through a gateway server. From that we can access the actual servers via Remote Desktop. Because of this maintenance unfriendly setup we use a sftp server to get our files to the production server (where the ftp server alwys resets last modified date), so it is complicated to determine which files have changed.
So if it would be possible to setup a ssh tunnel from the actual server through the citrix connection, it would ease the whole update process.
(On further option which I consider is to use bazaar to push our updates to the sftp server and then pull the updates from there, but unfortunately there is no working svn plugin for bazaar available [on windows])
Okay, not wanting this to remain unsolved, I posted the following on the usenet in alt.os.citrix:
G'day everyone
Someone asked me this question. I haven't a clue. Any ideas?
"the connection I have is PC -> Citrix Access Gateway -> actual Server. My question is, if it is possible to establish a ssh connection from my PC to the actual Server."
The response I got from a Catherine Jefferson was:
Should be. I do this all the time using an Access Gateway VPN, then ssh to servers inside the company LAN.
What version of the Access Gateway is this user running? I work for Citrix, might be able to get a more specific answer for him or her.
So may I suggest you hook into alt.os.citrix (probably via Google Groups if you don't have an NNTP tool) and buy into the conversation.

I do this a lot. The tunnel is like:
ssh -nvCXAN -L 1494:10.0.2.39:1494 www.starshipping.com &
Then, you need an ICA file that points to localhost.
[WFClient]
Version=2
[ApplicationServers]
Connection To Citrix Server=
[Connection To Citrix Server]
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
ClientAudio=Off
DesiredColor=8
Username=yourusername
Domain=yourdomain
Password=xxxxxxxxx ; has to be encrypted. I pulled from another ICA file generated internally
ScreenPercent=97
TWIMode=OFF
Address=localhost
This all worked very fine on OSX until Citrix gave out a new version of the Citrix client which is now called the Citrix Online Plugin. Haven't been able to get it to work since then. Meanwhile, our VPN has been working fine, so haven't worried too much about it.
