Apple’s recently announced the new. With the announcement is an updated version of Apple OS X — version 10.9 aka Mavericks. As a surprise, Apple is providing the new version of OS X for free. After upgrading to OS X Mavericks and needing to put up an FTP server on my Mac, I went to run the System Preferences app to enable the FTP Server. To my surprise, the option isn’t available already.

Fortunately, as with other server software on the OS X, I can actually enable the FTP server using the program on the Mac. The launchctl software interfaces with launchd (a software that runs on the background to manage daemons/agents on the Mac) daemon on OS X. Launchctl allows Mac users to load, unload daemons/agents and generally control launchd.

To load the FTP server, just run the Terminal app and run the command: sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist And just like that FTP is now enabled. You can unload the FTP server by also using the launchctl command. To unload the FTP server, just perform the following command in the Terminal app: sudo -s launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist For WordPress developers, the FTP server is a convenient software when upgrading WordPress and plugins running on the Mac. [Update: 19-Nov-2013] Accessing the FTP server After setting up the FTP server, you can access to it using the web browser. You can also use an ftp client like for the OS X or (runs on both Windows and OS X).

Using your Mac’s OS X username and password, you can gain access via localhost (for ftp access from the same computer). To access the ftp server from another computer over your network, use your computer’s IP address. For example, to access the FTP server using a browser, just use the following URL format: ftp://user@localhost (you will then be prompted by the password). Thank you SO much.

For the last few years I’ve been connecting from my Windows 7 computer to my iMac through Filezilla with no problem whatsoever. Until tonight. I could not figure out why all of a sudden I could not connect to my iMac any longer. The only thing I could figure was the trouble was that I just upgraded to Mavericks.

My husband and I have been working on this for over 2 hours and were frustrated beyond frustrated. That is until we found your page. I followed your directions and Filezilla now connects like a charm again to my iMac. I cannot say thank you enough!!!!! OK, I am trying to follow, but I am a little confused.

Best mac repair software. I use an app called DropSync to synchronize key internal storage folders to Dropbox automatically, so after doing an FDR I just copy the folders back after the apps are reinstalled and reconfigure sound and notification settings for my apps. [One of those folders that's backed up are my custom ringtones and notification tones.] I also back up text messages and call logs using SMS Backup+, so those are always up to date. I keep a pretty stock home screen with only one screen, so that's easy to reset.
