Best way to manage FTP working from 2 PCs

Hi... am about ready to post my site from DW to our server
which is in a different time zone. I would like to be able to work
on the site from more than one PC. What is the best way to handle
this so we always have the latest files on a given PC and do not
have to download all the files each time from the server? What is
the best FTP program (we use PCs) and what routine do you use that
has been most successful? Would be most grateful if some could
point me in the right direction on this.
e-mail is [email protected] Many thanks.. Peter

1. Share the local site between the two PCs. I do this when I
want to work
on the same site from multiple PCs. Note, this is only
effective when its
being used by ONE PERSON. For multiple editors, it will not
work.
2. Each workstation would have a local site, and they would
share the
remote site. Enable CheckIn/CheckOut so that you have to GET
the files from
the remote site to begin work on them, and then PUT them back
when you are
finished. In this case, the local site is only used for
intermediate
edits/saves.

  • Best Way To Manage 1 Computer from Another

    I got my mom a MacBook and I have a MacBook Pro. She's new to Mac and is very unfamiliar with it. Every now and then she runs across issues she can't resolve herself. I'd like to be able to access her computer from my computer while we are in different cities.
    What's the best way to do this? VPN?

    I do that with the previously mentioned LogMeIn (which is free.) I also use OSX's Screen Sharing with a VNC client on the PC, although some PC VNC clients do not work correctly with Screen Sharing. Most of the time I just use LogMeIn since I don't have to worry about firewalls and routers, or worrying about VPN compatibility with whatever router is being used at a friends house or Wi-Fi hotspot.

  • Best way to manage multiple iTunes accounts (from different countries)

    Ok, wasn't sure if this was the best community to ask this question, but here goes.
    My wife and I have two iTunes accounts, one originally from the United States, the other originally from Australia. Over the years content has been purchased using both accounts.
    We currently reside in Australia and primarily view our content on Apple TV. So far we’ve had no problems logging into either account and accessing all our content.
    Now, I have a fear (perhaps an irrational one) that if we choose to permanently reside in one country (Australia, the US, somewhere else) that at some point Apple may cancel/restrict one of these accounts. Since there is no way for me to merge all our purchased digital content into the one digital library, we’re now wondering the best way to manage this?
    I see there is a new "family sharing" feature soon to be launched, so that may be half the solution (assuming it will work with family members in different continents). If so, the other half of the question is, will we be able to still purchase content on both accounts? While in Australia since April we have rented movies on both accounts, but have only purchased movies etc on the Australian account (we can still do this on the US account, but we haven't risked it in case it gets cancelled because Apple decides we're no longer in the US - in other words, we don't want to spend $$$ on movies we may not be able to access in future).
    What do others think? What is the best way for us to manage our scenario? Or am I worried about nothing and we can continue purchasing content on either account without fear of “losing” it later?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I did try and ring Apple, but the guy refused to give me advice until I provided my details and I did't want to do that at this stage.
    Thanks everyone for your help!
    MM

    You may lose the ability to purchase content from the USA, but any content you've already bought will remain accessible. Back everything up.

  • What is the best way to manage tasks?  I have moved from outlook and only have mail and ical

    What is the best way to manage tasks.  I have moved from a pc with outlook and have lost 'tasks' in that programme.  Do I have to rely on ical or can I download an app to manage business tasks?

    iCal does have reminders but its implementation of tasks is pretty wimpy. There are a number of programs that are better geared to the job. I was a level 4 procrastinator until I discovered Getting Things Done and for me Things is perfect. It lets me handle projects which are dependent upon multiple tasks in a no-nonsense easy fashion. Much less expensive and really not much more than a list maker is Wunderlist. Thankfully there's a ton of shareware offerings - check out MacUpdate.com and see what works for you.

    I have a macbook pro I use for work and iMac at home. What is best way to manage my files? Use iCloud? Dock my laptop when I come home? Appreciate any suggesitons

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • How is the best way to manage the stats table?

    Hello!
    I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
    STATS is growing pretty fast.
    How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
    this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
    records from this table.
    For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
    to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
    I hope somebody can help me!!!!
    Thank you!

  • What is the best way to manage photos - Dropbox (with sync), Facebook (with sync), iPhoto, etc.?

    With so many cloud based and wireless syncing services, I'm lost as to the simplest way to keep photos sync'd as well as backed up. My dropbox is currently syncing all photos I take with my iphone, but in an overall folder called CAMERA UPLOADS, so they are uncategorized. I upload pics to facebook, which facebook also has a sync photos feature, but I don't necessarily want all photos uploaded to facebook. What has worked best for everyone so that there aren't a ton of dupicate photos everywhere, and multiple syncs of the same photos?
    Also, what is the best way to manage my iPhone photos generally? I'm never sure if I delete a photo from my phone, does it delete it on my computer via iCloud? Sometimes I just take a picture to send to a friend that I don't need to keep, while others are ones I want to sync to my computer. Can I control when deleting that it be deleted everywhere or just on the device? And alternately, can I choose certain photos not to sync via iCloud?
    iCloud makes me nervous. Once when I wanted to place all photos of my pup into a folder, I selected the photos on my iPhone and accidentally clicked delete instead of move. No big deal, I figured they'd be at home sync'd on the cloud. But since I'd deleted them on my phone, the cloud deleted them on my home computer too and the photos were lost.

    I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
    Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
    What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
    The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.

  • Best way to manage small pieces of a 13 minute clip?

    A client has given me some AVI footage to cut in with some of my material.
    He's said 'at 13 min, 40 seconds' use 5 seconds. 'at 12 min, 10 seconds, use 8 seconds'.
    There will be some fades and I'll be adding text, etc. in Motion.
    What's the best way to manage this?
    I'd guess cutting this long clip info small pieces out using FCP and then import them into Motion?
    But, I was curious if there was a way to work completely in Motion?
    Also - if I drag from the edge of a clip in motion, thus changing the part of the clip displayed, I can't really tell what the timecode is (of the original position) even when I've turned on timecode rather than frames. Which would make doing any edits by absolute timecode rather hard.
    Is there a way to see the absolute timecode position in the clip after changing the parts of the clip that are displayed?

    Your original idea is right on. Cut up the clip in FCP. Don't try to work with a 13-minute clip in Motion - it won't like you. Motion will probably constantly crash try to process something that big, and it will just cause headaches.
    FCP will also display the absolute timecode.

  • Best way to manage 8i and 9i databases?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for the best way to manage 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g databases with EM (of course, upgrading the 8i databases is not an option). I successfully installed OMS 12c, but the 12.1 agent will not connect to the 8i databases. What are the alternatives?
    -The 10g agent can manage 8i, but will it be able to connect to 12.1 OMS?
    -If this doesn't work, I guess I would need a 12.1 OMS for 9i, 10g and 11g databases, and a 10g OMS for the 8i databases. Is this a viable solution? Can 10g and 12.1 OMS coexist within the same environment?
    I'm looking for the best scenario that actually works, I understand that anything that connects to 8i will not be supported.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    I'm afraid you got it right.
    Let's distinguish between MONITORING- which is done by the agent and MANAGEMENT (administration, maintenance, performance management etc) - which is done directly from the OMS.
    According to my experience:
    OEM 10G is the last version that can fully MANAGE 8i databases.
    OEM 11G can MONITOR 8i databases (via a 10G agent) but cannot MANAGE them (or in other words ,the 11G OMS cannot connect to 8i databases).
    OEM 12C cannot MONITOR nor MANAGE 8i databases.
    If you use OEM to fully manage your 8i databases (and plan to continue doing so) I suggest you keep a dedicated OEM 10G installation for those databases.
    There's no problem using 2 different OMS installations and many organizations choose to do so for various reasons.
    The downsides are that you'll need to duplicate your OEM configurations (monitoring templates, rules etc) and of course- you won't be able to manage all databases in a single console...
    If you use OEM to only monitor the 8i databases, you can create a set of user defined metrics that will run against a 9i database and will connect to the 8i databases via DB Link.
    This solution is far from ideal but it might eliminate the need for maintaining another OMS installation if all you need is monitoring the 8i databases.
    Erez.

  • The best way to manage multiple iPhones

    Hi,
    We currently own three iPhones, my wife’s, my daughter’s and mine and we are all using basically the same apple ID which is good for purchased apps since I have to buy it once and they automatically show on all devices, the issue is with free and personal apps, all of my daughter’s games end up in the other two phones which is annoying.
    What would be the best way to manage all three iPhones butstill be able to share purchased apps without adding unwanted apps?
    Do I need to create three different accounts?
    What would you guys recommend?
    Thanks a lot!

    We have now 5 devices, two adults and 3 kids, including a new work iPhone. To manually select apps from scratch per device/per sync is really tedious.
    Can't one save the "last checked" selections per device, so when Device B is connected the profile pulls up Device B's selections, and I could then evaluate if there are any minimal modifications to be made?
    On the same note, are each device's personal phone items (settings, speed dials, etc) automatically saved separately per device?

  • Whats the best way to manage 100s of thumbnails?

    I'm trying to build a simple photo management app in java, like Picasa2. I want to be able to scroll through 100s of thumbnails. Whats the best way to manage them from a memory standpoint?
    a) can I load up 100s of thumbnails into a JScrollPane? If so, will it do anything special to manage memory for the thumbnails that are offscreen?
    b) should I just draw up a grid of JLabels and page through them like you would in html?
    Is there another approach? Is there any special way to manage the thumbnails that are offscreen (besides loading them all in memory ) and still get a fast response time?
    BTW, if anyone wants to join me in this project, I'm happy to opensource and share.

    Because for some of us, it takes a lot longer than 5 mins. Besides, I was on someone else's computer.
    Regardless, I've implemented JList for images, and it works really well. For those of you who are following in my footsteps, the answer is:
    JList renders ImageIcons by default.
    If you want to render a JLabel with an ImageIcon set to an image, you need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, but it turns out that is not too hard. But here is a follow-up problem:
    My app has JLabels that subscribe to an ImageLoader that loads images in the background. On init() the JLabel just has the ImageIcon set to a placeholder image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon = new ImageIcon();
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myPlaceholderImage );
    However, once the actual image is loaded, I call a refresh method to set the ImageIcon to a new image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myLoadedBufferedImage );
    My problem is getting the JList to render the updated JLabel. Right now, I keep a reference to the JList with myJLabel and call revalidate() on refresh, but that doesn't seem very clean.
    Is there an easy/natural place to get the JList to revalidate()?
    Can I easily know which JLabels are in the viewport of the JList scrollpane? That way I could revalidate only the visible JLabels or when scrolling.

  • What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

    Hello
    I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with.  In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
    I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac.  Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these.  Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks

  • What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

    Hi,
    We have
    a shared Macbook air
    a shared iPad
    my iPhone
    his iPhone
    We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
    We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
    What's the best way to manage them all?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
    What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
    You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

  • Best way to manage photos, multiple computers, multiple input mediums

    I have a multitude of questions regarding photo library. I have a bit of a mess on my hands.
    i have 30K photos on one computer at home (24'imac) and my husband and I both have laptops (macbook pro). I have his "hand me downs". When we switched to the 24"imac (from the small imac), I noticed later (I was not here at home for several months) that it seemed that pictures from my canon library from several years ago seemed to be missing. The person who did the changeover (of course) pleaded ignorance and I believe didn't do a proper backup. In fact I have noticed pictures on my husband's or my laptop, I don't see on our "now" primary machine. I reloaded any CD's i had, however, now i have multitude of picture copies as the "CD created" copy now has another name with a completely different date and year! Further, my husband would take his computer with him on vacation and download photos and sometimes i am not sure all the photos made it to the main computer! So i have these separate libraries on separate computers!
    One of my projects in the upcoming year is to consolidate all these libraries so I ensure i have one final version and then set out to reduce, edit these photos, make slide shows, etc with them instead of holding all or most photos on each! It was a learning experience for me as i recently made my first book and found out that i used only 30% of the photos (of 1500 photos) so i think i really need to do a much better editing job to effectively reduce the number of photos. I would also like to even scan my current paper photos, slides, negatives into this, hence creating a large library, slide show, books, etc. In fact I would like to eliminate most of my photo albums!
    My thought is that i need to
    1) consolidate all libraries from all computers into one library on one hard disk
    2) divide libraries by year
    3) OBVIOUSLY---backup the library(s)
    4) reload or keep on the 1TB hard drive all the photos
    5) create an additional backup
    I hope this makes sense. I am just not sure how to go about it. Given all I have read about error messages and libraries gone missing, I am concerned about the process I use to do this. Thanks!

    The best way is create one Library from several is to use iPhoto Library Manager and its' merge command.
    Why do you want to have multiple Libraries? iPhoto is good for 250,000 in a Library.
    However, if you do want toL Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager
    As for scanning? WHat software comes with your Scanner? I have had perfectly acceptable results with Image Capture.
    I am concerned given all that i have read about "missing" iphoto libraries and errors.
    I'm not sure what you mean by this, but it is important to have a back up as protection against problems.
    Regards
