NFS Manager 3.8 - For easy access to the NFS features of OS X. (Shareware)

NFS Manager 3.8 - For easy access to the NFS features of OS X. (Shareware): "

NFSManager is a small tool for easy access to the NFS features of OS X. As an operating system with a Unix core, OS X is able to support the Network File System (NFS) protocol according to Internet specification RFC 1094. NFS is the accepted industry standard for sharing files between Unix systems.

Although NFS is a built-in component of OS X, users cannot access this feature without special knowledge and use of the command-line. NFSManager solves this problem by providing an easy-to-use Aqua interface for the definition of NFS connections.

Version 3.8:

• Added client setting for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to change the policy when optimizing NFS automount operation for mobile or desktop systems.
• Added server setting for OS X 10.8 to match the sender transport protocol of the lock service with the protocol of the NFS service.
• Added NFS share setting for OS X 10.8 to enforce file-name mangling to 255 bytes maximum length when using NFSv3.
• The reference manual has been revised completely and uses a new design.

Lion FTPD Enable 1.3 - Enable and disable ftpd on OS X 10.7 Lion. (Free)

Lion FTPD Enable 1.3 - Enable and disable ftpd on OS X 10.7 Lion. (Free): "

Lion FTPD Enable is a an Applescript Cocoa application to enable and disable ftpd on OS X 10.7 Lion and later. Beginning with OS X 10.7, Apple removed the GUI to control the ftpd service as it is seen as a security risk. Apple wasn't thinking about users who own scan-to-FTP-capable network printers and scanners. Many users send documents to their Mac by FTP. ftpd-enable is a menubar icon that has a pulldown menu to enable or disable ftpd. You must provide an admin account and password to actually enable or disable ftpd but no password is required to run the app. If ftpd is running, a green unlocked padlock icon appears. If ftpd is disabled a red locked padlock icon appears. A yellow icon means ftpd is running at the moment. It is normal for the icon to stay yellow for up to a minute after ftpd-enable launches. The about dialog is self-dismissing and includes a button for help and a donate button. Tested in OS X 10.7, 10.7.1 through 10.9. Starting with version 1.2, the app uses launchctl to allow ftpd to automatically launch when needed. Donations appreciated!

Version 1.3:

• Now supports Gatekeeper and can be run in OS X 10.7 or later under the 'App Store and Known Developers' security setting.
• Reports multiple IP addresses if you have them and rechecks IP address whenever you pick 'about.'

• OS X 10.7 or later
• At least one OS X active account that is NOT listed in /private/etc/ftpusers
• Properly set-up /private/etc/ftpd.conf
• Must enter admin password to enable/disable ftpd
