Title: Leopard, Ipfilters
Post by: macwhite on April 28, 2008, 05:56:16 PM
I hope I'm not repeating any post, but as long as I searched, I didn’t find anything related to my problem.
First of all, I must apologize for my English, I’m Portuguese, and I may say something senseless or kinda weird. I’m also a “first-timer” concerning this type of software (Mac and aMule).
About my little problem: I’m using aMule SVN (I’m n0t sure if this is the correct description of the version) and I want to add the ipfilter.dat file to my aMule,  so I can use my national traffic. While I was navigating, searching for solutions, I found several solutions, but all of them suggested to add the ipfilter.dat (that I already downloaded) to the ~/.aMule/ file, but, when I use the Terminal Application and write this directory, it says me that is doesn’t exists… So, this is my question: how do I create, or in case it already exists, how do I find the directory so I can add the .dat file?
I hope someone can help me.

Library -> Application Support -> aMule

Put the ipfilter.dat in the aMule folder

Then go to aMule preferences -> Security -> check Enable IP-Filtering -> Reload List

I don't have the aMule folder in the Application Support folder, am I supposed to create one? Cause I did create and nothing happens... When I'm about to click in "Reload List" a small yellow square appears with the following sentence: “Reload the list of IPs to filter from the ~/.aMule/ipfilter.dat”,  and I have a question about it, maybe you can answer me, the question is: why can’t I create a folder named “.aMule”? When I try it says something like “.folder is reserved to the system”

Thank you very much for the answer.

Use this version compiled by GToso:

Nothing happens, the aMule folder in the Library folder isn't created, and it continues to say that the source for the ipfilter is ~/.aMule/ ...

I'm starting to think that it doesn't really have a solution, until a version 100% compatible with Leopard is created.

I may have uninstall aMule application in a wrong way, but I just drag it to the recycle bin...

I've just found an option that says: "Use system-wide ipfiltef.dat if available", I clicked it, can this be (finally) the solution? I've changed the ipfilter.dat to the aMule directory, is that fine?

Thank you for your patience.
