Best way to remotely connect to 10.4 Server
Hi,
My boss wants to have someone from a different site be able to log onto our server shares in order to work remotely from a different state. The server is currently running 10.4.11 Server. I haven't set up FTP before, but I've found that if you use the "Connect to Server" with the FTP://xxx.xxx.xxx:21 command, you only get Read Only access to the shares...
Is there a better way to do this, or to get the user to have full RW access to the share?
The user will only need to move files back and forth from the server share to her computer... not do anything else (i.e. run apps, change settings, etc). I was thinking that just opening the share would be the easiest/cheapest way for her to work. I'd rather not spend the $$ for another copy of ARD.
Thanks
I actually found a decent solution (I think). CyberDuck. It'll do FTP, ssh, etc transfers. I tested it out and it is a pretty cool program that allows for customized user permissions and a bunch of other features.
Has anyone used CyberDuck before. How did you like it?

What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.
Apples Back to my Mac isn't really suitable for this - it is designed for a single person who wants their Apple ID on the system. It would mean she would have to share hers with you & you would also have to setup her Apple ID on your Mac - it is messy & causes trouble with iCloud, iTunes etc.
You can try Messages if she is able to begin a session with you, see the 'invite to share screen' in the menus, weirdly you need to use a service that isn't from Apple.
Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen
It may be better if you to setup LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. They should 'dial out' & maintain a constant connection so you can login whenever the Mac is powered up. It won't, require a human to initiate the process at the other end, just be aware that the router may cause issues depending on what is configured, you may need settings to enable automatic port forwarding - it really depend on which option you choose. -
Best way to remotely access my Mac?
I reecently migrated from a PC to a new iMac. I used to use Remote Desktop on my laptop to connect to my PC desktop remotely when I wasn't at my home. Now that I've migrated to the iMac at home I need to know what the best way is to connect to it when I'm not at home. I know there are a handful of VNC solutions, but one thing I really liked about Remote Desktop for PC is that it was much faster and didn't lag like most VNC solutions.
I'm hoping some of you can point me in the right direction of what's best to access my iMac remotely. If it *is* VNC, I'd also like to know what VNC solutions you'd suggest as there are quite a few available.
Thanks so much!The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.

Repost-Best way of using connection pooling
I am reposting this, seems best suitable in this category.
I am using Eclipse 3.1 along with Tomcat 5.0, MySQL 4.1, J2EE1.4. I could set up the JNDI Dataresource connection pooling and tested with small test servlet. Now thinking of having common methods for getting connection / closing / commiting ....etc.
I wrote following. [Please let me know whether it is correct way of doing it - as i am not very sure]
package common;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public final class connectionManager {
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(common.connectionManager.class);
public connectionManager() {}
public static Connection getConn () throws NamingException, SQLException
//JNDI DataSource connection pooling
Connection conn = null;
try{
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/TQ3DB");
conn = ds.getConnection();
}catch (NamingException ne) {
new GlobalExceptionHandler(logger, ne);
conn = null;
throw new NamingException();
}catch (SQLException e){
new GlobalExceptionHandler(logger, e);
conn = null;
throw new SQLException();
return conn;
}//getConnection
public static void commit(Connection conn) throws SQLException
conn.commit();
public static void rollback(Connection conn) throws SQLException
conn.rollback();
public static void setAutoCommit(Connection conn, boolean autoCommit)
throws SQLException
conn.setAutoCommit(autoCommit );
public static void closeConnection(Connection conn) throws SQLException{
if (conn != null) {
conn.close();
conn = null;
}//closeConnection
public static void closeResources(ResultSet oRS, PreparedStatement pstmt) throws SQLException
if (oRS != null) {
oRS.close();
oRS = null;
if (pstmt != null) {
pstmt.close();
pstmt = null;
} // closeResources
}//ConnectionManager
I am having a login form which submits user name and password. I am checking this against the database. Following is the servlet to do that.
package login;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
import common.*;
public class loginServlet extends HttpServlet {

}//doGet
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException,IOException{
String userId = request.getParameter("userId");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
** call a method to validate the password which will return the
** User Name for authorized users and null string for un-authorised.
String uName = validateUser(userId, password);
//if uName is null .. user is not authorized.
if (uName == null){
//redirect to jsp page with error message
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsps/mainmenu.jsp");
if (rd != null){
rd.forward(request,response);
else{
// the user is valid - create a seesion for this user.
HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
// put the user name session variable.
userSession.setAttribute("userName", uName);
//redirect to Main menu page
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsps/mainmenu.jsp");
if (rd != null){
rd.forward(request,response);
}// end of doPost
private String validateUser(String userId, String password)
throws SQLException{
String returnVal = null;
connectionManager cm = new connectionManager();
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
ResultSet oRS = null;
try{
//get the connection
conn = cm.getConn ();
//get records from user table for this user id and password
String sQry = "SELECT user_login FROM user "
+ "where user_login = ? AND user_pwd = ? ";
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sQry);
pstmt.setString(1, userId);
pstmt.setString(2, password);
oRS = pstmt.executeQuery();
//check for record
if (oRS.next()) {
returnVal = oRS.getString("user_login");
}else {returnVal = null;}
}catch (Exception e){
returnVal = null;
}finally{
cm.closeResources(oRS, pstmt);
cm.closeConnection(conn);
return returnVal;
}// end of servlet class
But i am unable to compile it and i am also getting lots of warnings.
I am getting error at line
1)String uName = validateUser(userId, password);
Unhandled exception type SQLException loginServlet.java TQ3/WEB-INF/src/login line
Following warnings:
2)For loginServlet Declaration
The serializable class DBTest does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long loginServlet.java
3)The static method getConn() from the type connectionManager should be accessed in a static way
4)The static method closeResources(ResultSet, PreparedStatement) from the type connectionManager should be accessed in a static way
5)The static method closeConnection(Connection) from the type connectionManager should be accessed in a static way
Definitely I am doing it wrong but exactly where? I am having very strong doubt the way i am using connections is not the correct way. Pls help me.

ManishaI am in a search of best way to use connection pooling. Initially was using simple JDBC call, then modified to JNDI, afterwards tried to have common class. Later came accross the idea of Singleton/Static. I wanted to have a common class which will handle all connection related issues and at the same time give good performance.
With due respect to all Java Gurus: i got all from web articles/tutorials/java forum etc. There is a long discussion regarding Singlet vs static in this forum. But finally got confused and could not figure out in my case which method shall i make use of, so tried both.
What I want is somebody pointing out flwas inside my 2 code snippets and guide me about which method shall i adopt in future.
Static way:
package common;
import java.sql.Connection;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
public final class ConnectionManager_Static {
private static InitialContext ctx = null;
private static DataSource ds = null;
public ConnectionManager_Static(){ }
//as the staic method is updating static var i am synchonizing it
private static synchronized void getDatasource () throws NamingException, SQLException
if (ds == null){
ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySql");
//making getConnection() also static as it is not instance specific
public static Connection getConnection () throws NamingException, SQLException, Exception
Connection conn = null;
try{
if (ds == null) {getDatasource ();}
if (ds != null) {
conn = ds.getConnection();
}catch (Exception e){
throw new Exception("From ConnectionManager_Static",e);
return conn;
}//getConnection
}Singleton:
package common;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import javax.naming.*;
public final class ConnectionManager_Singleton {
private static ConnectionManager_Singleton INSTANCE = null;
private DataSource datasource = null;
// Private constructor for singleton pattern
private ConnectionManager_Singleton() throws NamingException{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
datasource = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySql");
//synchronized creator for multi-threading issues
//another if check to avoid multiple instantiation
private synchronized static void createInstance() throws NamingException{
if (INSTANCE == null) {
INSTANCE = new ConnectionManager_Singleton();
public static ConnectionManager_Singleton getInstance() throws NamingException {
if (INSTANCE == null) createInstance();
return INSTANCE;
public Connection getConnection() throws Exception
Connection con = null;
try{
con = datasource.getConnection();
}catch(Exception e){
throw new Exception("From connection manager singleton ", e);
return con;
}Sorry, It's becoming long.
Thanaks in advance,

Best way to implement connection pooling with tomcat4.0?
Hi all!
I need your help:
What's the best way to implement connection pooling (Oracle Database) with tomcat 4.0?
I only found ways to implement it in tomcat 4.1, not in 4.0....
Thanks!
MichaelYou can use a Datasource managed by tomcat. Earlier versions of tomcat used Exolab's Tyrex for the implementation of the Datasource API which uses connection pooling. Current version uses commons-dbcp and commons-pool (jakarta projects) I think.
You've got to declare the Datasource in server.xml and then in web.xml of your web app. -

What is the best way to remotely login to another Mac?
My mother & I recently decided to take the plunge from the PC world to Apple world. I have an MBP w/ OS X 10.8.2, and she has the same w/o the recent OS upgrade (10.7.?). While we're both still at the bottom of the learning curve, I'm a little further ahead and am constantly running over to her place to trouble shoot/assist her with the transition. I've been researching ways to remotely login to her computer and am now more confused than when I started. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I basically want to be able to login to her system and takeover as if I were on site. And, while I don't know if my research, thus far, has brought me any closer to a solution, it has raised a few questions:
1) Do I simply want to go with 3rd party sofware like Logmein and will the free versions be sufficient or are they just trial offers?
2) Or is ARD my best option and am I right in assuming we'd each have to pony up the $80 for installs on both MBPs?
3) Some of the discussions talk about much more expensive ARD fees with multiple licenses. Am I correct in assuming these are meant for network administrators and wouldn't be necessary for my purposes?
4) I noticed a free VCN version available from the App Store but came accross posts which seem to indicate possible security issues. Are these valid concerns and does ARD address them?
5) Will I run into problems because we're using different OSs?
6) I attempted to follow instructions for an "ssh" remote login that I found by doing a search of 'remote login' under the Apple Support. But when a password was requested, I didn't seem to be able to enter one into the command line. Again, I'm new to Macs, but the cursor didn't move when I entered characters, so I was left wondering whether characters were being entered or whether this is Appple's '*****' feature used to guard passwords. Either way, after 3 attempts, my efforts were repeatedly terminated. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure I was entering a valid password as the article I'm referring to didn't specify how to set a password. I used a VCN password I had set up under the Remote Management option in the Sharing utility under System Preferences. I'm assuming this was the password they were looking for but couldn't be 100% sure as the instructions I followed were not related to "ssh" logins nor were they from Apple Suppot. Anyway, is this "ssh" login worth pursuing and does it function independently or does it only work in conjuction with ARD? If it is a stand alone solution, where can I go for better guidance? The Apple Support link I used was: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1112.
7) Being recovering Windows users, we both have MS Office for Mac 2011 which has MS's Remote Desktop Connection app. But from reviewing a few posts, it looks like that comes with it's own set of issues. It also kind of defeats the purpose as I'm trying to wien myself off of MS. But if someone out there has experience and suggests this as the "ultimate" solution, I'm willing to listen.
I know I've babbled on quite a bit and I don't actually expect anyone to take the time to answer all of my questions. But I'm hoping I might get a collective answer, and more importatnly, I'm really hoping to narrow the field and get generally guidance on the best Mac-to-Mac remote login solution. Thanks in advance for any advice.Hi gregory,
It is a big subject, and the following article sets out various options.

What is my best option for hosting objects and accessing/instantiating them using Java SE and potentially other Java-based platforms (CDC, CLDC)?
What I've been trying to do so far is set up some system where a Java SE program can connect to an application server and obtain references/instantiate objects on the server and call methods of those objects.
The biggest struggle for me is understanding if JNDI is what I need to use for all this, on top of other questions.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there something else I should be doing?
I welcome any further questions or suggestions.Well...maybe, but also not quite?
Is there any way I can get a more specific response? Is there any way I can run a server that hosts instances of objects? What is the simplest way I can instantiate and communicate with remote objects?
Having a different stub for every class I create just seems like wasted effort and there are much more clumsy platforms out there that support very simple remote object & class features... -

Confused - best way to configure / connect AEBS to ADSL Modem/Router?
I currently have an ISP supplied Innacomm W3400V wireless modem / router that is poor at wifi. I've looked at several modem / routers to replace it with, such as the Linksys E4200, but have decided to give an Airport Extreme a try.
Now I've read a lot on the internet about POSSIBLE options for connecting the AEBS to the current modem (which I might replace as well) but what I can't seem to fathom is what is the BEST method in terms of performance, ease of management etc etc. As far as I can tell there's two main options:
1) Leave the modem router set up 'as is' (e.g. with the PPPoE settings and with it handling NAT and DHCP etc) but turn wireless network and security off, connecting the AEBS in Bridge mode. This seems to be the simplest way. Out of interest, the Innacomm has 4 ethernet ports, if I use this method, will I be able to to use the 3 ports on the AEBS and the 3 spare (given the AEBS will be connected to one of them)? Any problems / issues with using this configuration?
2) Switch the Innacomm into Bridge mode and turn off wireless, DHCP, NAT (anything else) and configure the AEBS with the PPPoE sign on details and DHCP ranges etc. Not sure what benefits there are to this, esp if I CAN still use the modem / router's 3 sparE LAN ports. Might be something I'm missing though?
At the moment I only need to improve wifi performance and hope the AEBS will do it. I'm just not entirely sure of the BEST way to set it up with my existing router (or even a replacement modem if I find it necessary to go that route.Also, there's no benefit to be had by putting the original router into bridge mode and having the AEBS provide all the PPPoe, DHCP and NAT functionality (or would it in fact be worse)?
The only real reason to consider doing this is if you need the AEBS to provide both a "main" and "guest" network. Here, I am ssuming that you have a recent version of the AEBS.
In Bridge Mode, the AEBS can only provide a "main" network.
When the AEBS is configured to provide PPPoE, DHCP and NAT services, then the "guest" network feature is enabled if you need that functionality. -
Best way to remote lock/wipe lost Macbook Pro on Snow Leopard?
Hi all,
I'm using Snow Leopard (tried Lion for a few weeks, hated it so went back to SL), and would like the ability the remote wipe/lock my MBP should it ever become lost.
Obviously there's the Find my Mac feature in iCloud on Lion, but I was wondering what the best way to do a similar function on Snow Leopard would be. Is iCloud ever likely to come compatible with SL? Otherwise can anyone recommend any good 3rd party apps that would do the trick?
Many thankshttp://preyproject.com/

Best way to push change data from sql server to windows/web application
i apologized that i do not know should i ask this question in this forum or not.
i have win apps which will load all data initially from db and display through grid but from the next time when any data will change in db or any data will be inserted newly in db then only change or newly inserted data need to be pushed from db side to
my win apps. now only sql dependency class is coming to my mind but there is a problem regarding sql dependency class that it notify client but do not say which data is updated or inserted.
so i am looking for best guidance and easy way to achieve my task. what will be the best way to push data from sql server to win or web client.
there is two issue
1) how to determine data change or data insert. i guess that can be handle by trigger
2) next tough part is how very easily push those data from sql server end to win apps end.
so looking for expert guide. thanksHello,
Yes, you can create DML trigger on INSERT and UPDATE to get the changed data into a temp table. And then query the temp table from application.
If you are use SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can also try to use
Change data capture, which
can track insert, update, and delete activity that is applied to a SQL Server table and store the changed values on the Change Table.
