AI Thread Summary
Accessing an FTP server through Windows Explorer can be problematic, particularly when it does not prompt for a username and password. To resolve this issue, using dedicated FTP clients like FileZilla or WinSCP is recommended for a more reliable experience. Additionally, mapping the FTP server as a network drive in Windows Explorer can facilitate easier access. It's important to ensure that folder permissions on the server are correctly set, as improper permissions (e.g., set to root instead of FTP or www) can prevent access.

Hi there

I'm trying to access a FTP server in Windows Explorer. Getting to it, by inputting a username and password, works in Firefox but I'm needing to copy and paste a folder from the server to my desktop.

I get the following message when trying to access the server in Windows Explorer (Windows 10), without any prompt for a username and password

Many thanks

Hi,

You can use a client instead: FileZilla or WinSCP.

All the best,

Like cybertib I recommend Filezilla. Very straightforward and easy to use.

login the server via ssh and make sure the folder permission is set to ftp or www. I had the same issue a few weeks ago that found out the folder was set to root permission.

If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...

Thread 'Another trick with Blender'

After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
