Hi All,
I am trying to upload my first sound through Applet. I granted Applet acesss, I saw my volume and all my files on the screen via the FTP connection. I then located the sound file in question, highlighted it and then pressed "Connect." A new little window came up and it showed my username but the password window was empty. I tried to fill in the password box but it wouldn't let me type anything. I tried checking and unchecking the "Passive" option (I don't even know what it does) but it didn't make a difference. Can anyone tell me why I cannot type my password in? I am using a Mac, running 10.4.8. Firefox is my browser. Thanks, Tyler
tyler, perhaps you can either update your Java version, or go over to the articles section and use something else to upload the sample(s)

Hi Bram,
I am still having trouble. I checked my Java and I am running the latest version. I still cannot connect through Applet because the "password" window does not permit me to type anything. Then I tried the last option which was recommended in the article you referred me to which was to choose "Connect to Server" on my Mac. I did as the instructions directed me to do. However, after typing in my Freesound username and password and then pressing "Connect", after 20 seconds of waiting, a little window popped up showing the correct FTP address but stating, "connection was interrupted" and so again, I was not able to connect. I do not know what this is happening. Any other suggestions? Thank you, Tyler
Do you have any Firefox extensions installed that might be preventing you from typing in the box? There are a lot of Firefox extensions out there that can protect you from submitting sensetive information but they can also interfere with information that you DO want to type in due to either a bug or just bad programming...
Try adjusting the settings on your Firefox extensions or uninstall them and see if it helps.
For Mac I reccomend using Cyberduck, it's a nice free FTP application that has some useful features like bookmarks and upload/download resuming. You can also try FireFTP for Firefox. Cheers!
