File manager for setting up syncs

I have a file manager on an android tablet---foldersync---that allows me to set up synchronization via a cloud service, e.g., SugarSync, on folders used by apps that do not support the service, e.g., that don't support SugarSync.
I see file managers that themselves will synchronize with a particular servces but the ones I've checked out so far---not that many I will admit----don't seem to be able to do what foldersync does.
Thanks,

FolderSync allows me to use a syncing service of my choice to set up syncing between folders so that any change in any folder is updated to the other. This is true even if changes are made by apps that don't support, i.e., don't provide access to, the syncing service selected.
Dropbox is widely available with most apps. SugarSync less frequently. However, SugarSync supports syncing to folders in the file system. It is not limited to a special folder the way Dropbox is. There is no need to manually sync from the special folder to the file system as there is with Dropbox.
FolderSync allows me to take advantage of this convenience even with apps that provide no access to SugarSync. I'd like to be able to do the same thing on my iPad.
And iTunes is not very convenient at all.

  • Q abt. "Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync"

    I am following the steps "To optimize the file server for mobile accounts" which are listed on page 157 in Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management :
    In Server Admin, click the disclosure triangle for the server hosting network home folders for mobile accounts.
    If Firewall isn’t listed, select the server, click Settings, click Services, select Firewall, and then click Save.
    Select Firewall, click Settings, and then click Services.
    Choose the address range for your users’ computers from the “Edit Services for” pop-up menu.
    Select “Allow only traffic from ‘ipaddress’ to any of these ports,” select the Allow checkbox for Mobile Account Sync (port 2336), and then click Save.
    Select the server, click Settings, and then click General.
    Select “Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync” and then click Save.
    My questions is:
    In step 2, I added "Firewall" to the services. I continued with the following steps, but nowhere does it say to press the button "Start Firewall", so as of right now Firewall is listed, but not activated - it's gray and not green. Should I turn on the Firewall Service? In my setup, a cable modem/router is acting Firewall between WAN and LAN (small private home network).

    I can't get Server Side File Tracking to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Here's what I've done:
    1. Followed the instructions in "Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management" as per the first post in this thread.
    2. Tried turning on the Firewall Service - resulting in clients unable to log in to their network accounts.
    3. In Server Admin, under Firewall>Settings>Services, with 192.168-net selected in the pop-up menu entitled "Editing services for", I then chose "Allow all traffic" (instead of "Allow only traffic to these ports:") as my router acts as a Firewall in my setup. Now users can log in to their network accounts again, but Server Side File Tracking is still not working. How do I know it is not working?
    According to infinite vortex in this other thread, the syncing window is supposed to only show this:
    On my clients, you can see it scan through the home directory before the file copying/syncing actually starts.

  • Good file-manager for OpenBox? (with icons)

    I tried rox with the magickthumbnails and videothumbmails, but havent got it working yet.
    I am now trying thunar, but it has dull generic icons.  Everything looks like a piece of paper.  I'm sure it'd look good if I was running XFCE.
    Is there a standard/common file-manager for use with openbox?  Preferably one with icons for different file-types.

    hi,
    i also recommend rox. fast and the drag'n'drop functionality is brilliant.
    the default layout is truely ugly. but you can change everything.
    i've changed the rox icons by hand:
    in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine:
    # rox-filer toolbar icons
    pixmap_path "~/.icons/panel_icons/icons_2"
    style "normal" {
    stock["gtk-close"] = {{"close.png"}}
    # stock["gtk-close"] = {{"exit.png"}}
    stock["gtk-go-up"] = {{"1uparrow.png"}}
    stock["gtk-home"] = {{"gohome.png"}}
    stock["gtk-refresh"] = {{"redo.png"}}
    stock["gtk-zoom-in"] = {{"add.png"}}
    stock["gtk-zoom-fit"] = {{"stop.png"}}
    stock["gtk-jump-to"] = {{"bookmarks.png"}}
    # stock["gtk-sort-ascending"] = {{"bottom.png"}}
    # stock["gtk-help"] = {{"help-icon.png"}}
    stock["rox-show-hidden"] = {{"filter.png"}}
    stock["rox-show-details"] = {{"view_tree.png"}}
    # stock["rox-select"] = {{"select-icon.png"}}
    widget "*" style "normal"
    it's quite self explanatory .

    ps:
    and that's what it looks like:

    That's a pretty cool setup u got there. Is that conky in the top centre? If so, mind sharing your .conkyrc.
    What Icon theme are u using? is that panel-thingy AWN?
    Could u also elaborate this line < pixmap_path "~/.icons/panel_icons/icons_2" > ?

  • FILE MANAGER FOR UNIX

    I am trying to write a file manager for a unix machine. Does anyone know how to 'grab' the existing file structure, l just want to copy the functionality of existing Unix file managers - then add my own graphical representation of files and directories. Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

    start off by looking at java.io.File All the methods you will need are there. listRoots(), listFiles(), isDirectory() etc.. Hint: the best plan is to use recusion to descend into the directory structure.

  • I have followed the topics for setting up Sync so I can share/copy bookmarks on my new computer, but I can't get it to work.

    The more I search for solutions with this just links me back to the original help topic "Setting Up Sync"

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

  • Thunar as default file manager for firefox

    i am using xubuntu 9.04..
    I'm using Openbox as windows manager[pure openbox session], it's working great, but i have a problem ...
    open containing folder doestnt recognize Thunar as my only file manager, it keeps asking to open with...
    how can fix this problem?
    thank you in advance

    I am having a similiar issue... when I hit open folder it pops up sometype of file search program
    EDIT: Perhaps this works for you... for some reason it doesn't for me...
    http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007 … nder-linux
    Basically navigate to about:config and create the following three:
    network.protocol-handler.expose.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.external.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.app.file = /usr/bin/thunar (String)
    The program that runs instead of thunar has a title "Find Files" -- I did a quick search of installed programs related to "search" and I only have catfish installed and I know that is not the program... How would I go about determing what this application is or what it is a part of? Is there a way I can click on the program and it output the PID so I can then match it up with the entry in top/htop?
    SOLVED : figured it out... it was pcmanfm search program... for some reason it was not opening the folder but instead opening its search program... removing pcmanfm from my system fixed it and now folders are properly opening with thunar

  • What's a good lightweight file manager for fluxbox?

    I just installed arch and it's flippin awesome. I installed fluxbox because I prefer a light window manager with lots of functionality. When I used fluxbox with ubuntu I used thunar. But this time around since I'm using arch I want to use a file manager less dependent on less libraries and other share resources. So whats a good functional and maintained file manager that would be good for fluxbox?

    Since I didn't see it here mentioned, why not try Tux Commander? it only depends on gtk2.
    I tried both thunar and pcmanfm, uninstalled them and stick with tuxcmd. The only little problem you might come into, is to manually add the buttons to mount cds and usbs (pmount helps here), unless you put them on fstab and they automatically appear there.
    Well, just give it a try
    $ pacman -S tuxcmd
    note: if you ever tried total commander on windows, you'll fit in this one like a glove
    I just checked this out and it's pretty nice. The only thing is that it does everything by file extension and not by mime type, which is counter-intuitive for a Linux desktop IMO.
    Altho you can put name+extension as 'name'(so you can see the file 'as one'), yes, you'll have to manually had the programs you want to open each file type/extension.
    Thanks for spotting that out

  • Need to deny access to file manager for the user

    Hi
    I need to be able to deny access to the file manager, as I dont want my client deleting files. however, for some reason I have to allow him access to this as he needs to be able to upload files through InContext Editor (he needs to link pages to documents that are not on the server so he needs to upload them and to do this, I have to grant him access to file manager).  How can I get around this?  I dont want to have to reupload his site every time he deletes a file....

    Unfortunately it can't be done - access to the file manager allows deleting as well as uploading and at this point that cannot be changed.

  • Best File Manager For Really Large Folders

    I have a folder with 397GB of music. None of the music players like it much. Rhythmbox and Banshee either wont run or are so slow they're not useable.
    I have been using Xmms to play, which is great. Nautilus is way to slow and MC doesn't quite have the features I want.
    What file manager would you recommend for really big folders?

    I've used about everything there is. Amarok was nice for a while, but there were a ton of little annoyances that added up and eventually I was too frustrated to keep using it. I have settled on XMMS2 + gxmms2 + xmms2-scrobbler. It's been good to me.
    Ideally, foobar2000 would be ported to Linux. There is nothing like it.
    I also prefer PCManFM as a file manager. Dolphin and Thunar are OK. but PCManFM is very fast...it's good at dealing with my giant directories with thousands of files in it.
    Also, for all that music, what file system do you have it on? I used to keep all my music on an NTFS drive for compatibility but it kept screwing itself up and it was slow, but recently I switched to ReiserFS and I've seen amazing improvements.

  • Is MS Identity Management for Unix / PW Sync supported in WS 2012 R2

    We need to upgrade the AD forest DC servers and the FFL and DFL levels.
    The current AD domain is a one-domain forest, with WS 2003 DC servers.
    Our target is to install the newest Windows servers (WS 2012 R2) as DC's.
    To make the job, we are going to promote new DC's first, then de-promo the old ones, and finally raise the DFL+FFL levels to the newest possible.
    However, currently there are the MS Identity Management for Unix / Password Synchronization software in each of the DC's installed. To keep passwords in sync and thus the IDM to work, the software has to be installed to each of the new DC's, too.
    According to MS article
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731178.aspx
    the pw sync can be installed to WS 2012 server.
    My question is that,
    - Can we go forward with WS 2012 R2 DC installation and assume that the pw sync can be used in them, too?
    - Or, do we have to install older DC servers (WS 2012)?
    Br,
    Kari Oikkonen
    Fujitsu Finland

    We found the following TechNet article:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Packages
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn452400.aspx
    According to it, the psync package is still there.
    One colleague also shortly tested with R2 server by installing it with
    Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:psync /all
    command, and the pw sync seemed to install OK.
    So, we now are encouraged to install R2 servers for DC and psync.
    Br, Kari

  • Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

    Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.

    Thanks for the reply yancy.
    What error message are you receiving?  Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
    Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?  
    To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device.  Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
    I look forward to your reply.

  • File structure for Sets Import - FM_SETS_FIPEX1

    Hi Folks,
    I've been tasked with migrating Funds Group and Commitment Group records into SAP ECC6.  I've discovered the import option, but cannot get a file loaded, probably because the import file structure is incorrect.  Could someone please provide me with the Import file structure, and even an example of the file layout (i.e. what does 'Type' mean?, when to use id 'H', 'R' or 'X').  
    Points will be awarded for helpful solution.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    The trick is to set up a test Group set on-line, and use the Export option on the FM_SETS_FIPEX1 transaction (under the 'Extras' Menu), to extract an example of the file.  Then the import file can be created using the same file structure. NB:  The File is positional based, so saving as tab delimited or comma delimited won't work, as the '#' or ',' delimiters in the file will occupy critical positions in the upload file, causing an error during the load.
