File associations lost from ftp servers

Whenever I move files to an ftp server, the file associations are lost if there are no extensions on those files.
Mac OSX knew what it was when I put it on the server but when it comes back, finder has no idea what to do with it. I.e. a quicktime doc mymovie (with no .mov exension) still had the blue Q icon when I moved it up there, but when I pull it down, it looks like a plain blank sheet and double clicking yields "There is no default application specified to open the document "mymovie".
Checking the file head in terminal reveals creator and type are still there, so how do I get OSX's finder to use those? If OS9 could do it, there must be a way for OSX to!!!

Thanks Jeffery - you are right, type and creator were in fact lost.
I've answered my own question with some research though - Fork Server Helper.app from Marcel Bresink Software seems to be the solution:

Makepkg: curl can't download files from FTP servers but wget works

Hello,
I've installed Archlinux in a VMware workstation. When I try to build a package which wants to download it's source files from a FTP server (eg. Eagle) curl fails to download the file with the following error message:
==> Prüfe Buildtime-Abhängigkeiten...
==> Empfange Quellen...
-> Lade eagle-lin-6.4.0.run herunter...

Warning: Transient problem: FTP error Will retry in 3 seconds. 3 retries left.
When I replace curl with wget in makepkg.conf and then try to build the package wget successfully downloads the file.
Can anybody tell me if there is a bug in curl or how to find out why curl isn't able to download from FTP?

.sesx file association lost?

This is a pesky one. I recently upgraded from Audition CS5.5 to Audition 6 and uninstalled CS5.5. Since I did that, however, the .sesx file association in my computer has been lost. When I try to reassign .sesx to Audition, the computer defaults to Adobe Acrobat to attempt to open an .sesx file, even when I specifically navigate to the Audition folder and indicate Audition as the default program to open .sesx.
I realize the first and most obvious step is to simply reinstall Audition CS6, but there were difficulties activating the software. I was upgrading just Audition out of the entire Creative Suite CS5.5 package, as it was the only software I NEEDED to upgrade (for some reason Audition CS5.5 caused me nothing but problems, but CS6 is infinitely more stable on my system, and none of the other CS6 software had features that justified a $500 upgrade). So I had to contact support and they had to give me a support code and all of these hoops had to be jumped through to install the new software. I'd much rather avoid having to do all of that again.
Is there a way to reassign the file association other than reinstalling? And while I'm at it, if I DO reinstall, will THAT even solve the problem?

Hey,
it appears the application registration within the windows registry was corrupted, probably due to uninstalling a previous version of Audition.
Fixing this should be easy:
In Windows Registry (win key, type 'regedit', hit enter) navigate (left side of the window) to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your
Adobe Audition CS6.exe named folder.
Navigate under its name to the subfolder shell>open>command.
Within command double click the default key (right side of the window) and check if the path to the audition executable is correct, fix it here if needed.
Having installed into default location, the path should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Audition CS6\Adobe Audition CS6.exe" "%1"
Hit okay (you're fine closing regedit now)
Finally try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.
Now, as the path to the exe is actually correct, it should show up in the list of programs (after having browsed for it) and everything should work fine, including icons etc.
Make sure Audition is selected within the list (after browsing) before finally hitting okay.
That btw, is how Acrobat or any other program got into play here, Acrobat simply happened to be at the top of that list (from associations before) and got selected because Audition wasn't actually added to the list (because of the broken path).
If this does not work for you, maybe using a third party tool to have access to 'basic' windows functions like editing file associations, like really editing them, like.. you were able to back in XP.. unlike vista or 7.. oh well. err, you might want to try e.g. this one: http://defaultprogramseditor.com/
Note to the Adobe devs:
For me, the path should have been "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Audition CS6\Adobe Audition CS6.exe" but was "C:\Program Files (x86)\AdobeAdobe Audition CS6\Adobe Audition CS6.exe".
Note the missing backslash ("\") after the Adobe folder within the 32bit programs folder. Smells like you're typical minor issue with the install/un-install business
On the bigger picture, uninstalling older versions, should not cause file associations to get broken to begin with. I had this with all the CS apps, but in a different way, for apps other than Audition, like photoshop, premiere, etc.. it just deregistered the file extension but didn't break the exe path for them, so reassociating was easy, still.. a bug
Note to Microsoft:
If your OS can't find a registered executable, why not prompt the user for the path or at least let them know?! ^^
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Load XML file to XMLTable from FTP site Problem Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.7.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to load XML file from FTP address directly to XMLType Table?
Can someone help me?
For example I have ftp site "ftp://test" and on this site I have file "file.xml"
and I would like to load "file.xml" to table "xml_tab" ?
I tried to use "load_xml" procedure and set DIRECTORY "xml_dir" to 'ftp://test' but I get this error
exec load_xml(p_dir=>'XML_DIR', p_filename=>'file.xml');
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The network path was not found.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 504
ORA-06512: at "P.LOAD_XML", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1
Procedure looks like this:
(p_dir IN VARCHAR2,
p_filename IN VARCHAR2) AS
l_bfile BFILE := BFILENAME(p_dir, p_filename);
l_clob CLOB;

xml_tab_seq.NEXTVAL,
p_filename,
XMLTYPE.createXML(l_clob)
COMMIT;
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary (l_clob);
END;
I have tried also with this
select xdburitype('ftp://test/file.xml').getCLob() from dual;
but i get error
ERROR:
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "ftp://test/file.xml"
Can you pleeeeeeas show me a way to do this, thanks ???

This will not work.. Ypu cannot use FTP to 'PULL' a document into the database. (Yes I know there's a placeholder for an FTPURITYPE() but it was never implemented).
However you can use an FTP client to PUSH content into the XML DB repository. If the content is schema based XML associated with a known (registered) XML schema the content of the file will automatically be stored in the default table associated with the root element of the file. If the content is not associated with an known XML schema you can then use xdburitype to read the resource that was created when the document was uploaded into the repository

Get the File Name received from FTP Adapter

Hi,
How to get the File name reived through the FTP Adpater. I have created a variable with the Message type from ftpAdapterinboundheader.wsdl. from there I mapped the filename attribute to a local string variable.
But I did not receive the file name. The output in the Audit trail is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <Invoke_File_Process_FileProcess_InputVariable>
- <part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="InputParameters">
- <InputParameters xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/PIERS/SP_FILE_PROCESS_UPDATE/">
<AS_DIR xmlns="">I</AS_DIR>
<AS_FILE_NAME xmlns="" />
</InputParameters>
</part>
</Invoke_File_Process_FileProcess_InputVariable>
Can any one let me know how to get the recevied file name from FTP adapter.
Thanks

you have to define variable of type InboundHeader_msg. Then in receive activity click on Adapter tab and for header variable chose your newly created variable (InboundHeader_msg). Once you receive message from FTP you should see in this variable fileName.

Quick Time Hijacks Windows File Associations Only From Web Browsers

It took me 6 hours this morning to conclusively prove that Quick Time (latest version) isn’t playing well with web browsers on my Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine (nothing new here I guess).
I develop web sites which get their content from local hard or DVD/CD drives (as opposed to from the internet). All my Windows file associations for audio/video file types point to Windows Media Player (WMP) so that when one of my web pages looks for a file type of say .mpg or .mp3, WMP is opened and the file is played. Pretty straight forward and has worked fine for years.
Some time in the last few months (and I now strongly suspect after a Quick Time update) my browsers (all of them….. IE, Firefox, and Chrome) started opening Quick Time instead of WMP when my HTML goes to open any media file type. I’ve checked my Windows file associations which all still point to WMP. I also note that when I open one of my media files from a file utility such as Windows Explorer or my aftermarket file utility (as opposed to from a browser), they correctly open in WMP. So…….. its only from browsers that QT hijacks my intended media player.
In Internet Explorer I’ve gone to “Manage Add-Ons” and “disabled” Quick Time. This in fact causes QT not to be opened but instead a blank web page appears containing only the browser’s little error box with a big red X in it which usually means a picture file is missing…… WMP is not launched even though it is enabled in Manage Add-Ons and QT is disabled.
The only way I’ve found to fix this problem is to uninstall Quick Time in which case everything works fine. (My objection to Quick Time as my default media player is that even the latest version doesn’t reliably play video created for Windows file types.)
Can anyone tell me how to make Quick Time co-exist on my computer without hijacking my attempts to get at WMP from browsers?
The only reason Quick Time has existed on my computer in recent years is so I have access to iTunes. I’ve uninstalled both Quick Time and iTunes till I find a solution to this problem which means iTunes isn’t selling me anything in the mean time.

I'm having the same issue that Quicktime hijacks file associations.
I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows 7 64-bit and have installed basically hardly anything on it. I have however installed iTunes (+Quicktime) for my iPhone and Winamp (and not even loaded Windows Media Player).
Basically when I uninstall Quicktime, I can just type an url in the IE8 address bar with the .mp3 extension and download and save the file there and then. Only after installing Quicktime the browser will open the .mp3 in the window and play it embedded with the Quicktime player.
This is something I do NOT want, and I am really ****** off that Quicktime just takes over this feature without asking me first!!
That being besides the point really because I also cannot find the option in Quicktime's settings to undo this!!
When I go to Quicktime's settings -> Browser -> MIME types
It just shows that .mp3 is linked to Winamp (like I want it to be), but it still opens as a Quicktime Control Object.
Reinstalling IE8, resetting its settings, disabling the iTunes & Quicktime addons, even removing the Quicktime Control Object class from the registry... Nothing worked!

Here you can find an mp3 file to use for testing.

Opening Files in SAPGUI from FTP

Hi! Experts,
I have a requirement in a project in which I have to read .pdf and .xls files from FTP server and show it in the SAPGUI on a button click for a particular record in ALV. There should also be an option to save the file once opened.
The file will have a particular naming convention so we can differentiate for which record they belong.
For e.g. If a I have an ALV grid showing all the visitors. There will be a ticket copy in pdf format placed in the FTP server for each of the visitor planning to travel.
I need to have an option to show the end user this ticket copy and also have an option the save the same.
Is this possible?... Please help me with a appropriate solution.

You can't, or at least not easily. Would you like to explain why you want to do that? Remember that the Develop module in Lightroom uses the same processing engine as ACR, so not sure what would be gained by being able to open files into ACR directly from Lightroom.

File Associations Lost?

In have been trying to install Adobe Acrobat on my wifes laptop (windows vista) and everytime I do the install
I loose all the file associations on the desktop icons. When I click on any of the corrupted ICONs I get the message
"This file does not have a program associated with it to perform this action" The file name that it is displaying is the
Adobe Eula file. I am able to restore the icons by removing Acrobat using the add/remove function. It seems to make
no difference which version I install the result is the same.........Any thoughts?
Mike in Moline

Strange, never seen this result. Be sure you are logged in as the administrator and have antivirus disabled. Doubt that is the problem, but might be worth a try.

File association lost with upgrade

Generally the upgrade went fine. However OpenOffice odt files are now associated with TextEdit. When bringing up the Info form, OpenOffice.org is listed in the drop down alongside the Archive utility. I can select the Archive icon, which I don't want to do, but I can't select the OpenOffice programme that created the file. Does Mountain Lion treat non-app store programmes with disdain? How can I get my Mac to work the way it used to?

We have a very similar configuration and see the same problem in ProTracker Advantage which is our client management software. When we browse client files in Document Explorer inside of ProTracker and double click on a PDF file, then Adobe Acrobat Standard is launched instead of Adobe Reader. If Windows Explorer is used directly, then double click on a PDF file launches Adobe Reader.
I tried the fix as follows.
Created a reg file named "AdobeReader.reg" to add the "Application" key
Changed the logon bat file to run the .reg file in silent mode with regedit to add the key for all users
Contents of AdobeReader.reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf]
"Application"="AcroRd32.exe"
Logon bat file:
regedit /s AdobeReader.reg
I verified that the key is added successfully after logon. However, the behavior is still the same and Acrobat Standard is still launched instead of Reader.
Any other ideas?

File associations are lost when user account is migrated from one domain to another domain (SID changes)

Hello,
Currently we are in the middle of a migration project. We are migrating users from child domains to the root domain of one organization.
The user accounts are migrated with powershell using Move-ADObject cmdlet. This works as expected. The SIDHistory attribute is updated correctly.
Recently we received complaints from some *migrated* users - they lost their default/custom file associations. This happens only on Windows 8/Windows 8.1.
What happens:
the user is migrated and logs on
her profile loads and everything's preserved (as expected)
the user clicks on a .jpeg file (previously associated with program XYZ)
OS asks the user to choose a program to open the file with
the user chooses a default program XYZ and the file opens
when the user clicks on a .jpeg file again - OS asks to choose a program again
i.e. the settings are not preserved.
Our investigation shows that it is connected with the UserChoice registry key and the HASH value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.SomeExt
According to this blog
the HASH is calculated based on user's SID. But after the migration the user has new SID and the HASH becomes invalid and we hit this:
"However In Win 8, the registry changes are verified by a hash (unique per user and app) that detects tampering by apps. In the absence of a valid hash, we ignore the default in the registry."
Currently deleting the UserChoice key for all associations solves the problem. But the user has to make all her customizations again which is undesirable.
Is there any supported way to fix this? Why the OS doesn't update the HASH after the first logon when the SID has changed as it updates the SID for the ProfileList key?
This could become big issue in large migrations.

Hello Petar K. Georgiev,
Please check the following article to change the registry key to change back to the default file type associations.
