The launchctl software interfaces with launchd (a software that runs on the background to manage daemons/agents on the Mac) daemon on OS X. To my surprise, the option isn’t available already.įortunately, as with other server software on the OS X, I can actually enable the FTP server using the launchctl program on the Mac. As a surprise, Apple is providing the new version of OS X for free.Īfter 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. With the announcement is an updated version of Apple OS X - version 10.9 aka Mavericks. Apple’s recently announced the new iPads and MacBooks.
