In this folder is now wordpress-5.2.3 folder and your wordpress-work-folder to update on the same level. Now you issue the following command: * `rsync -av wordpress-5.2.3/ wordpress-work-folder/` * `rsync` is replacing all newer files from source wordpress-5.2.3 to destination wordpress-work-folder. Important are the slashes in this command. I forgot them, and for that reason asked here in the forum for help. * Was this clear enough? * Best greetings * marek * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [The update could not be unpacked on localhost Mojave](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-update-could-not-be-unpacked-on-localhost-mojave/) * Thread Starter [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/) * (@marek_step) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-update-could-not-be-unpacked-on-localhost-mojave/#post-11915450) * I am ashamed. But now the update is fixed with this modified rsync command in the shell: * `rsync -av wordpress-5.2.3/ test_wordpress/` * To all best greetings and sorry for the noise! * marek - This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/). * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Mac High Sierra – local ftp server – how to update WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/) * Thread Starter [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/) * (@marek_step) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/#post-10471621) * Sorry! I cannot insert images to illustrate my reply. Don’t forget to kill the ftp-server after the update; the more servers you have running locally, the more you are vulnerable (MySQL, apachectl and ftp-server). * `sudo pkill -x pure-ftpd` * Hope this helps some people out there … * marek * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Mac High Sierra – local ftp server – how to update WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/) * Thread Starter [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/) * (@marek_step) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/#post-10471609) * Hi HudsonValleyWebDesign * That’s good to know, that here are professional WebDisigners out there. I am developing my pages locally and I am updating Themes Plugins and WP itself locally over a local ftp-server. I am not a professional as you are, but for all others out there, which are regretting the missing ftp-server on the High-Sierra MacOS( 10.13) here to set up a local ftp-server and update your local WordPress install: * Easiest is to install it with homebrew: * (To install home-brew refer to: [https://brew.sh](https://brew.sh)) – in your shell you issue following commands: * `/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/ master/install)"` * To maintain your brew install issue regularly in your shell: * ``` brew upgrade brew cleanup ``` * Now to install the local ftp-server: * `brew install pure-ftpd --with-everything` * The switch `--with-everything` is probably superfluous and probably the default. * Now you have create a file `/etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd`with following content: * ``` # pure-ftpd: auth account password session auth required pam_opendirectory.so account required pam_permit.so password required pam_deny.so session required pam_permit.so ``` * NO FORMATTED TEXT. Use your favourite Text-Editor (In Terminal vim, emacs, or pico). Or BBEdit. You have to be root to create this file. * Now you fire up the local ftp-server: * `sudo /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -lpam -B` * Now you can update all WordPress Sites locally: * You only have to enter your password … * “/Users/mstep/Desktop/Screen Shot 2018-07-07 at 10.17.09.png” * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Mac High Sierra – local ftp server – how to update WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/) * Thread Starter [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/) * (@marek_step) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mac-high-sierra-local-ftp-server-how-to-update-wp/#post-10359100) * Thank you RossMitchell fpr your suggestion. Yes I am updating my local WP with a download of the actual WP Version and then I run rsync in my shell, something like this: * `rsync -av WP_actual_version/ /path/to/local/WP_folder/` * But my themes and plugins are still to update … * Any help for a ftp-server on High-Sierra? Or an other method to update all in WP? * Thx again * marek * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [WordPress localhost & localhost/~user_name](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-localhost-localhost-user_name/) * Thread Starter [marek_step](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marek_step/) * (@marek_step) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-localhost-localhost-user_name/#post-9725462) * Hello David! * Thank for your answer. I found the culprit. Pretty easy if you know! * Open your Terminal and change the owner of your your folder /wp-content/uploads/ like follows: * > sudo chown -R _www /Library/WebServer/Documents/your_new_wordpress_site/wp- > content/uploads * or in your ~/Sites it would be: * > sudo chown -R _www /Users/your_user_name/Sites/your_new_wordpress_site/wp- > content/uploads * For Unix it would be an other owner: www-data * Hope this helps some others.

Perhaps it is easier to make the following command like follows: * `sudo chgrp www uploads` * Thank you for your help again! * marek Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total)
