To extract duplicate files from a system

sir, i m working on project to find duplicate files from a system . can any one give me some idea how should I start ?

I have written one in Java and in Python.
My approach was to take the SHA1 hash of each file and use this as the key in a map with the file name being the value.
I traverse the file system building the hash mapping as I go along. When I find a SHA1 hash that is already in the map I add the pair of associated file names to a list of possible duplicate files.
After I have traversed the set of files I check all the potential duplicates for equality.

Using Secure FTP to extract a file

Dear all
we want to create a mapping to read data from a set of tables and after some transformation to export the data into a flat file over a secure FTP protocol to a remote location.
I am wondering :
a) if that is feasible and if yes, then
b) what are the parameters we have to use to achieve that.
many thanks in advance

A quick search at google reveals there are plenty of FTP libraries available for the various mainstream programming languages (Java, C, C++ etc).
However, FTP has a very basic command set. (MKDIR, GET, PUT, DEL etc).
So you are not going to be able to perform more advanced document management tasks (such as lock a document, check-in, check-out, modify metadata, modify security, search, sort etc) through standard FTP commands.
In terms of setting metadata through FTP, you could potentially store the various processing instructions required in some type of XML file (or equivalent) and upload this XML file to the repository. A custom event handler could be created that listens for DOCUMENT_CREATED events, and then attempts to process the XML files and perform the various instructions contained within by calling the appropriate in-process Content DB FDK API.
It's ugly, but possible.
cheers
Matt.

Files on FTP site won't load

My goal is to link together a course, a quiz for the course,
and a course survey that are all going to be hosted on a
password-protected FTP site. My first attempt to do this was by
going into movie preferences and pointing movie 1 to movie 2 and so
on. This works locally and it works if I put all files in the root
of the FTP site, but if I put the files in a subfolder (making the
appropriate path changes in the movie and republishing them), movie
1 ends and doesn't load movie 2. Using sub-folders is neccessary to
avoide confusing learners who will be accessing the FTP site.
I also tried using the Captivate Player and as with the other
method, it works locally. Regardless of where on the FTP site I put
the files, none of the movies load.
It seems to me that this is a problem that I'll have to take
up with my Network Admin, but it's Sunday and I was hoping that one
of you had an insight that could help me fix the problem today.
Michael

Don't apologize, Michael, we've all been "stressed out". You
said . . .
quote:
1. I published a movie to the FTP site as an SWF file, and when
I ran the HTML file for the movie, the movie ran. I then published
two movies to the site as SWF files that are linked together (the
first one linked to the second one in the movie preferences), then
I ran movie A. It ran and and then movie B started.
Good. Step 1 mission accomplished!
You said . . .
quote:
2. I created a sub-folder in the FTP site and placed the linked
SWF files there. Movie A runs, but movie B doesn't run when movie A
ends.
Taking you at your word, you
placed only the SWF file in the sub-folder, so the link was
broken - thus, the 2nd movie
couldn't run.
You said . . .
quote:
3. I published three movies to the root of the FTP site as SWF
files. I also uploaded the Captivate Player files to the site. I
modified the Player XML file so that the 3 SWF files are being
used. When I load the player, the menu shows the three movies, but
none of them will load.
Check the other Captivate Player files. Sounds
like something got left out when you either 1) configured Captivate
Player, or 2) uploaded the Captivate Player support files. From
what you said here, it sounds like it is Captivate Player that
isn't running, not the movies in the XML. You might double-check to
see if you are opening the "Index.HTML". Matter of fact, you might
even want to change the name of Index.HTML and link to the new name
. . . it won't fix this problem, but after you get it fixed, you
might find that renaming Index.HTML will eliminate some confusion.
Just a thought.
Overall Michael, it sounds to me like you are really tired
and expecting too much of yourself in that state. Take a fresh look
at it after getting some rest and a new perspective. Just another
thought, but this one is even better than the first.

Adobe Reader 11.0.08 patch on FTP site corrupt

Just an fyi it looks like the 11.0.08 patch is corrupt on the FTP site. The file size is only 124kb and it will not apply if you download it. Link is below:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.08/misc/

Hi Johnathon
From the information provided by you it seems you have Adobe Reader installed on your machine.
The ftp link you have shared is of Acrobat patch. The size of the patch is indeed 124KB only and we have verified that the patch downloads and installs fine from the above mentioned location.
The reason the patch is failing at your end is because you are trying to apply Acrobat patch over Reader installation. Please download and install the Reader patch from here ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.08/misc/
Please note: This update requires that Adobe Reader 11.0.7 is installed on your system.To determine which version you have currently installed, choose Help > About Adobe Reader. After verifying you have the requisite version installed, download and install the patch from the link mentioned above.

Extract .xls file from an FTP site

Hi everyone,
Can anyone assist with this, I'm trying to extract an .xls file from a FTP site. The system I'm currently working on has no SAP application installed, we are using Microsoft SQL server as the target database and there is an FTP site which contains the .xls/.csv files and Data services as a ETL tool. The error I'm getting is 'FTP could not transfer file </DI_TEST/DATA_TO_IMPORT_1.xls> from host <www.servername.com>: <T>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP server working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP program. Also, ensure that the target path, where the transferred file is written to, is correct.'
Do I need to have SAP installed to use this functionality?
Currently to make this work, I wrote a .CMD file to do the GET ftp code and I then call this with a DI script and it works perfectly. Isn't there a way I can do this independant of the .CMD?
I'm sorry for bring this up again, I know I had a similar thread before. The reason why I closed it is that I did it using .CMD, I would prefer if I can do it with DI without using .CMD.
Thank all for your help.
Kind regards,

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

Adobe reader not able to open links to files on FTP sites (10.1.3)

Hi,
After the recent Reader upgrade to 10.1.3, we are no longer to use the existing documentation that has hyperlinks to our company FTP site.
The document is published using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and the staff open the document using Reader 10.1.3.
In reader when they click on the hyperlinks to the FTP files, the following error is shown:
'Could not open the file: 'ftp://******(doc name)****.zip'
In Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended - when you click on the hyperlinks you get this error;
'This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator'
Can someone please let me know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm confused at why this worked in March 2012, but not now (May 2012).
Previously having a hyperlink in a document to download a ZIP file from a FTP site worked.
I did take a look at forum you listed, but I couldn't work out how the document could help me to fix this situation.
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/64389123/AcrobatApplicationSecurity.pdf?v ersion=1&modificationDate=1334708197000
Have you been able to get a hyperlink to work to download a file from a FTP site?
Thanks!

I cannot update a file by downloading revised version from my ftp site.

I write Access database programs for a couple of non-profit groups. When I make a change, I upload the changed program to an ftp site, alert them to download again, and off they go with the new version. Been doing this for several years. Fast
forward to today: husband just bought new Win 8.1 computer. I installed the Access 2010 Runtime, then downloaded the database. It worked. I then made a couple of changes to the program on my development computer necessitated by the wide screen
display on the new computer, uploaded the changed program to the ftp site, proceeded to download the update to the win 8 computer and it won't update to the new version until and unless I reboot. What am I doing wrong? My users should not have
to close everything and reboot before updating the program--I will surely soon have several using Win 8.

I have updated the file in question on my development computer. I then saved it to a network drive. I then uploaded it to the ftp. Next, I went back to the Win 8.1 machine. I opened the ftp and copied the file. I then pasted
it to the desktop. I then opened the file and verified that it was not updated. I then accessed the network drive and copied the file, then pasted on the desktop. Voila! It was updated. Conclusion: Cannot copy and paste from ftp
(unless it had never been present) but can update from other source.
On the Win 8.1: Next, I reopened the ftp, copied the file. Returned to the desktop (which now contained the identical updated version copied from network drive). Pasted. Opened the file. Alas, it had reverted to the version
prior to copying from the network file. I next deleted the file, then downloaded from ftp again. The previous version reappeared! Conclusion: Anytime an update is attempted from ftp, the version reverts to something it finds in a cache somewhere.
I did try rebooting at this point, but the previous version was still there.
After a reboot of the Win 8.1 machine, I could copy and paste successfully from ftp to desktop.
You asked about the former system edition: Windows 7 on my development computer. I don't have an installation log, but I am not sure exactly to what you refer. Office 2010 Professional is the source software; MS Access 2010 Runtime is
the program used on the 8.1 computer. Note that this all works on users using Win 7 and the same Runtime.

How do I upload files to an FTP Site in Leopard

I want to read a file which is in a zip and this zip file is at ftp site

i am facing this problem and try to find the solution from last month please help me
i want to read a file which in ziped and this zip file is at ftp site. and i want to read this file without downloading this zip file to local machine. i have to read it from ftp location only

You can open an URLConnection to a file on an FTP server (search this forum to find out how). You can get the InputStream from the URLConnection and feed it to ZipInputStream. That should do the job.

How to read all files under a folder directory in FTP site

Hi Experts,
I use this SQL to read data from a file in FTP site. utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
But this need to fixed file name in a directory. However, client generate output file with auto finename.
SO do we have any way to read all file by utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', file_name,'r');
We need to read all file info. because client claim for security issue and does not to overwirte output file name,
we must find a way to read all file in output directory.
Thanks for help!!!

If you use Chris Poole's XUTL_FTL package, I believe that contains functions that allows you to query the directory contents.
