Cyberduck: Remove ftp:// from connection string - ftp

I have a client who is allowing me access to a subdomain hosted on his server. I have tested to connection through Mac terminal and I'm able to sign in successfully. However, when attempting to use Cyberduck, I'm having issues.
We've narrowed down the problem to "ftp://" in the connection string. i.e., connecting to subdomain.myserver.com works but ftp://subdomain.myserver.com does not. I looked through the preferences and I don't see a way to remove this. Is there any other way to use Cyberduck to connect via FTP without "ftp://" being used in the connection string?

Cannot connect to Oracle database via TCPS

We have an Oracle server set up and are using TCP with SSL as connection. This setup was made with the assistant wizard and we used the default settings pretty much everywhere (which also means that no tnsnames.ora or listener.ora exist). lsnrctl status shows that the correct ports are listening.
We are trying to connect to this database via DBeaver and SQuirrel SQL but cannot get it to work. We have set the vmargs for the programs to contain the certificate of the server (e.g. dbeaver.exe -vmargs -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:/...keystore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS), which works fine.
Connecting to the database with a concrete JDBC URL string (jdbc:oracle:thin:#(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(HOST=IP)(PORT=5500))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=testdb)))) does not work and times out after 60 seconds without a proper error (IO Error: Got minus one from a read call). We have tried pretty much everything and cannot get it to work.
The ports are correctly assigned, the database can successfully get accessed with the normal TCP protocol and port 1521.jdbc:oracle:thin:#(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=IP)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=testdb)))
Are we missing steps? There don't seem to be any firewall issues. The certificates seem to be working fine as well, but we cannot connect with any of the programs (or sqlplus via command line).
Anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks!
Can you check out the SSL blog or our OTN page for step-by-step instructions? If you are using TLSv1.2 then the JDK version and JDBC driver versions are very important.
In the end I got it to work. There are various sites online that show you how it's done. I used this one:
https://database.edorex.ch/blog/database-connection-with-a-certificate/
Getting the wallets set up, certificates set up and the user set up in the database were the most important steps. Additionally, I had to separate the server and client machines. The server is now on a VM and it works that way, I couldn't get it to work having both on the same machine.

Can't connect with Filezilla

I just upgraded to the latest Filezilla version - and I can't connect to my websites. I keep getting a "connection timed out" error.
I discovered some sort of "Configuration" feature, so I gave it a try, but I can't copy and paste the results, because the screen closes when I try to copy the text (a very useful feature). However, it did say I had the "wrong external IP address."
I was invited to get the correct IP address on this page. So I typed in that value, but I still get the same results - a connection timed out error and wrong external IP address.
I can connect to my websites fine with Dreamweaver, but not with Filezilla. Does anyone know what the solution is? If not, can you recommend any other FTP clients, preferably something free (or very inexpensive) and user friendly?
P.S. I was going to ask this on Filezilla's forum, but I couldn't register because they don't accept registration from people using Google's e-mail service. WTF???
I would double check that FileZilla is defaulting to plain FTP (rather than SFTP, or some other protocol). If it is working properly in Dreamweaver I would open them both up and check to make sure the settings are all the same.
And if you would like to try a different FTP client I would recommend CyberDuck.

FileZilla: My FileZilla does not have two panel layout and says "Warning: FTP over TLS is not enabled users cannot securely login"

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.

How to programmatically setup a dialup connection

I have a question - is there some way to set a login and password for a certain dial up connection?
I am able to create a Dial Up connection, however I'm unable to "save" the password and login into Windows (so it would remember them).
Please note that I want to do it without the Windows GUI, ideally just using regedit/cmd or windows default tools (that can be executed from cmd).
I needed to do this for Windows CE so I used the remote registry editor to compare before and after adding a dial up connection. I found the settings in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\ConnectionAddedByMe], hopefully you can do the same locally.

windows cmd connection to remote mysql dbf

is there a way of how to connect to mysql dbf on a remote server and run sql queries using windows command line?
Yes, you can connect to a different host by running mysql -h 123.45.67.89.
Please note that there are a few security implications:
You will have to grant yourself access. You will need to run something like GRANT ALL on db_name.table TO user#your_ip IDENTIFIED BY 'password'. db_name, table and your_ip can be * but beware of opening your server to hackers.
You will have to open your server's firewall if you are not on the same LAN. Again, ymmv and you should be aware not to open the door to exploits.
You may want to use SSL and use secure-auth in order to protect your traffic and credentials.
Hope that helps.
MySQL has a command-line client, where you can run queries. If you don't want to allow remote connections to the database on the server, you can still script things into a batch. There are command-line telnet/ssh clients, that either accept external file as a list of commands to run remotely, or you can pass it with the input stream redirection (less then symbol) to them.
When opening a connection to server - most clients are programmed so that the only way to specify the login password is by typing it in from keyboard (yeah, they don't use default input stream). Things like that make it hard to script it. However, it may be possible to set up a certificate based login on SSH - you'd actually have to research that.
If the server that's hosting the MySQL database is also a web server - you could also think about putting some script (PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby - whatever you like) on the password protected area, that would allow you to execute queries by simply making a HTTP(S) queries on that script. Although, Windows doesn't have a command-line HTTP(S) client, you can always get something like wget.exe and perform queries with it. Note, that if you choose this approach - I strongly advice to put that script under HTTPS - if discovered by malicious user, it could be lethal to your data.
You could use telnet, or SSH if you want to be more secure.
If the MySQL is running on Linux or BSD, you need a Telnet or SSH connection through something like putty
This will open a command line on the remote server. The command is mysql. There will be issues around authentication of remote users (as you would expect).
If the remote server is running Windows, you have a whole different set of issues.
I'm not sure you can connect to a remote Windows server and control it this way.
I should say I'm not sure HOW you could connect to a remote Windows server and use it this way. But no doubt it's possible.
