Apple's Telnet and FTP programs are back in High Sierra thanks to this (by yours truly). Both the client and server of each one are back, and these are Apple's original versions of these programs. On High Sierra so this will be a better solution and should make everyone happy. To install ALL the formulas in that PR, run this at the command line: brew install tnftp tnftpd telnet telnetd Of course you can install each of these separately as well: # TNFTP client & server (formerly known as LukeMFTP, presumably due to being developed by Luke Mewburn # and has been the default FTP for default FTP client included with NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, # Darwin (macOS), and MidnightBSD): brew install tnftp brew install tnftpd # Telnet client & server: brew install telnet brew install telnetd. @Mark while there are indeed reasons not to use the unsecured protocols, there are also plenty of remaining requirements to use them - typically when interacting with legacy systems, especially those firewalled on private networks. Generally speaking, the decision of what protocols are allowed should be made on the server side, since that is the system that potentially could be compromised - forcing it on the client side is completely wrong-headed, as the designers of the client system can't know what it will be used to talk to. – Oct 28 '17 at 23:34. For some, upgrading to the latest software is a no-brainer. After all, you get all the new bells and whistles, right? In a production environment, where stability and compatibility trump puny bells and whistles, the decision to upgrade has to be far more careful and considered. For the macOS server administrator who wants to be as informed as possible before a potentially job-threatening upgrade, here are all the High Sierra changes you need to know about1 Removed Services At one point or another, a feature or service may be discontinued due to various reasons. Be it, security, low usage, or simply shifting priorities, a service you've come to depend on may be deprecated or even removed entirely. Here are two such services in macOS Server 5.4. File Sharing with iOS: You could previously use set up a shared repository on macOS Server for your iOS devices. Support for this feature is being removed entirely. All of your iOS devices will report that file sharing has been disabled on the server. Suggested alternatives are using WebDAV, and collaboration using Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): A longtime a security risk, for example for sending password information in clear text, FTP support will be removed from macOS server if you upgrade. Moved Services Sometimes services will all be moved from one configuration manager to another. Apple has made some services are now available on all macOS High Sierra installation, even those running without macOS Server. Here are the services on macOS Server 5.4 that have been moved to all macOS High Sierra installs in the System Preferences app. File Sharing: All fire sharing can now be configured in System Preferences > Sharing. There are some protocol depreciations due to the new APFS file sharing that will disable sharing over that filesystem. Open Directory: Open Directly is no longer required for Profile management and, as such, has been 'hidden' on macOS Server 5.4. Caching Service: My favorite feature in macOS Server, it can now be easily found in System Preferences > Sharing. If you have multiple devices to update and maintain, it makes a local network cache for iCloud data, updates and more. High Sierra does not support FTP. Will FTP Server enable us to do the following: Send (put) a CSV file from an IBM AS-400 to a MacMini (OS-10.13.1) using FTP. Basicly, the AS-400 initiates the placing of a file into a folder located on the MacMini. SnailFossil 1.0 for Mac OS X Released. Scan to folder for Macs is dead, or nearly so, thanks to Apple’s macOS High Sierra release. Mac users accustomed to scanning documents on their office copiers and document scanners and sending them to their PCs were surprised when after updating their machines to Apple’s new OS they found they no longer could scan to folder using FTP.
