FTP update files problem inside Sitedefinitions

And I have checked "Refresh local file list automatically"
and it's with
both Explorer 6 and Firefox 2. I use Dreamweaver MX 2004
v.7.0.1
The problem is at the moment when I update .js and .php
files.
Do I have to use a "normal" ftp-program to get this
functioning/updating or
is it the browsers which are the problem?
/Tine

I still don't know what problem you are describing. Can you
give me the
steps that you use to see the problem, please?

  • System Information Update File Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I just installed a developer version of CF8 in my local
    machine. And I also decided to install "kb403622 — ColdFusion
    8.0.1: Cumulative Hot Fix 1" hotfix. So I went to System
    Information section, click the Browse Server button beside the
    Update File text field and I got an error message saying "Server
    Error IO error on server commnication".
    Can anyone help me with this error?
    Thanks in advance.

    That, oh-so-helpful, error indicates that you do not have RDS
    enabled on
    that server. Unfortunately RDS is required for any of the
    file browse
    controls in the ColdFusion administrator, but it is highly
    *NOT*
    recommended to have RDS enabled on production servers.
    So your two choices are to enable RDS and utilize the browse
    feature.
    OR
    To manually type the full path name in,but have a more secure
    public server.

  • LabVIEW FTP update file

    I need to update an txt file over FTP using LabVIEW every 10 minutes.
    To do this, I'm using the FTP Get Buffer, add a new line over the buffered data and finally using the FTP Put Buffer send the new file to the server.
    However, when the file becomes too large, this process starts to take more time to download the file and to send it back to the server.
    My question is, is there any other method in LabVIEW that can add a line to an existent file on a server using FTP or any other method to avoid this problem?
    Best regards.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your question is really more of an ftp question. The same thing could be asked when using any other ftp client. The real question is whether the ftp protocol allows you to modify a file on a server without first downloading it, changing it, and then uploading the new file. The ftp protocol has an APPE command which allows you to append data to an existing file on the server. If the file doesn't exist then the server is supposed to create it. As far as I know the Internet Toolkit does not have a VI to implement the APPE command. So if you wanted to do this you would need to do this yourself by probably creating your own ftp VIs. OpenG had an ftp library that you could probably use. You can get it here: http://wiki.openg.org/OpenG_Internet_Connectivity_Tools

  • FTP and File problems

    I have Dreamweaver 8. Trying to manage a little league
    website- not real computer savvy.
    All of the files an folders in my panel group (right hand
    column) are gone. Any idea on how I might get that back. I now have
    to go up to 'file' drop down menu, choose 'open' and all folders
    and file names are listed. Much easier when they were all on the
    right column. Have no idea why they are gone.
    I am also now getting a message everytime I try to update
    something........ " FTP error occurred, cannot make connection to
    host. Your login or password is incorrect". I am putting in the
    correct password.
    I recently updated to Windows Exp 7.0 and wonder if that had
    anything to do with this program changing.
    Thanks

    Yes - probably did. There are hundreds of posts here about
    issues after
    installing IE7. Have you updated to DW 8.0.2? Please do that
    before doing
    anything else.
    Then, you need to create a new site definition for your site.
    Clearly your
    current definition has become hosed. That's a simple thing to
    do.

  • Broken Ftp Connection and big files problem

    I have a problem with big-files downloading.
    Does anybody know how to resume downloading using FTP-connection?
    Or how can I get bytes from FTP connected file using something like random access to avoid the restart of downloading the file?
    "InputStream" does not support "seek"-like methods.

    From RFC 959
    RESTART (REST)
    The argument field represents the server marker at which
    file transfer is to be restarted. This command does not
    cause file transfer but skips over the file to the specified
    data checkpoint. This command shall be immediately followed
    by the appropriate FTP service command which shall cause
    file transfer to resume.
    You should also be aware of RFC 959 Section 3.4.2 on BLOCK MODE transfers which is what allows FTP to REST a connection and "skip" n-bytes of a file.

  • Moving File problem after FTP

    I got very strange problem here. I am using the Tomcat API for FTP purpose.When I am done with FTP files I need to move files to local directory.
    What is happening is after FTP files are not moving to local dirctory. However, If I run only the move files code without FTP it works fine.
    Here I got the idea that when doing FTP might files are not readablefor this I disconnect the FTP cliet properly and have also checked that files are readable or not
    but everything is fine.
    Anyone have any idea on this
    Shawn

    Wrong forum.
    Best I can guess from your question - FTP allows for a binary versus translated transfer. Translated transfers only work for text files. Everything else needs binary. (Text files doesn't mean word documents nor pdf files, etc.)

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ

  • Problem in updating files in BPM

    Hi ,
    I have a question where I need to append two files and send them as one file at the receiver by using a coorelation.
    Lets Say we have two files -File A and File B both in delete mode .Both  are required to be appended and sent as one file ,say AB on the basis of a correlation on a unique value .(e.g division number ).
    Acc to the project requirement ,After sending a file A ,If once again a new file of A (e.g A(1)) is updated before the second file B reaches the BPM ; We should append the latest file( A(1) ) with B ,and send it across the receiver .(In this case the result file should become A(1)B  ).To achive this we are using a container operation in assign mode and hoping that every new message of same type is overwritten.
    But everytime we are updating the file A it opens a new instance of BPM although the coorelation Id is same .
    When we send file B with that coorelation ID as of file A,it closes both the instances and creates two file , AB and A(1)B.
    We wish that the BPM discards the old file(A) and uses the updated file( A(1) ) in the same instance and puts it on the receiver .
    I would like to know if XI behaves in this way only or we are missing something .
    Thanks and Regards ,
    Neha.

    Hi,
    Why do you need 300 sequence files for 300 requirements??? You can keep each requirement in a seperate sequence in a single/multiple sequence files.
    With regards to reading your variables, you can read from a file through activeX or easier still, doing it through a code module (say a LabVIEW VI or CVI module).

  • FTP Get File List Action Block, It's double listing files!  ver 11.5

    Hi guys.. I have a good one!   I have an FTP Get File List action block in my BLS transaction.  Occasionally, it double lists the files in its output.   For testing I put a repeater with a logevent output where I log the filename, date, and size.  Heres what I saw for my action block output.
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    This is xMII  version 11.5.6 b73  with java 1.4.2_07
    I have a workaround by putting in a distinct action block, after the filelist, but anybody have an idea why this might happen?   My theory is that something might be occuring if the file is being written to while we try to process it, but not sure. 
    I've been building BLS parsers since 2003, (Remember those fun times with Jeremy?)   I've never seen this happen.

    My example is a sample log file before the distinct action.  The general log shows nothing other than the subsequent transaction errors I get as a result of running the same error twice (Tcode return from BAPI calls etc)
    Here is something else interesting..  my userlog file is acting funny, like its trying to write on top of itself.  could it be the transaction is actually running twice or parts of it? 
    For example look at the following log entries
    This is how my log file entry for a production confirmation should look
    2009-02-13 00:38:06,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    However sometimes... its looking like this...
    2009-02-13 2009-02-13 00:38:11,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    Like it started writing to the log, then started again.
    The problem we are having is that we have JCO calls to SAP in this transaction that does goods movement, we get locking / block errors back from our  saying that we (our sap account) is already updating the information.   Sometimes the information would be posted twice!  You can see how this has become a HUGE issue posting data to a LIVE system twice.
    This is happening on 2 xMII servers.

  • FTP Get File.vi not responding

    I'm trying to use the vi "FTP Get File.vi" (from the internet toolkit) to retrieve a specific file from an ftp site. Pn;y that for the moment. The FTP site is set up, and I checked and double checked that it was working fine (using filezilla) and that the stated directories and files are correctly spelled, etc.  When I run the attached vi I get a darkened a darkened arrow icon indicating the program is running, No errors are generated.  If I change ANYTHING on the remote path, such as an incorrect spelling of the name of the file I want to download, I do get an error and the program stops.  Evidently it knows the file is there, but something is not working.  I include in the attached  vi the information including the password for the remote ftp site to make it easier to test although you will probably have to creat a local directory to recieve the copies file at "C:\TELEMEDICINE" or else edit the local path however you want.  I will change the site pw, and perhaps the name after we get this figured out, but I figured it might make helping me easier for now.  Possibly I am misunderatnding soemthing about how this vi is suppse to be used, but I have read the help docimentation, and everything similar I could find onf the web. Possibly it is something stupid.
    Some other related information that may or may not help. 
    (0) I tried the FTP browser vi which is one of the example vis included with labview (do a search on "FTP" under examples),  It worked great - just like filezilla, so the toolkit is working.
    (1) The remote file is a .lvm data file, and is pretty small - 124kb.  So if the file transfer is working it should take a very short time (as it does using filzilla).
    (2) I did try letting the program run for many minutes on the outside chance something was very slow, but the local file never appeared anywhere, and the program was just frozen in RUN mode, but no errors ever so long as I have the remore path correct, as I stated above.
    (3) I checked and made sure the security permissions were set (I'm only using windows firewall and security on the local computer).  Labview had full permissions.
    (4) I'm using labview 2009, but I got all the  update disks.  Not sure if I bothered to go through the full update on this computer (I thought I did but it still says 2009),  Probavly doesn';tmatter either way.
    Attachments:
    CLIENT2.vi ‏10 KB

    I do specify the whole file path complete with name of the file and it extension
    (see original post attachment). Is that what you are referring to?
    I suppose I should update with some more recent information here to save people some
    time. The problem is NOT solved at all, so I would still appreciate any info
    that may help. However we now know that the program works exactly the same,
    apparently, for me (on a VISTA machine and a Windows 7 machine) and for Frank
    from tech support.  The program works sometimes, and then inexplicably
    stops working. The timings of these failure don't appear to be connected to
    anything we did - things stop working for a good while, but after doing nothing. For example while the computer is sleeping.  I haven’t determined if  the “freeze ups” happen on on different computers all at
    the same time. I’m working on that one.
    So, the conclusion is that it must (used advisedly) be something related to
    the only common factors – either the ftp server on my web provider, or that the
    vis in question are not quite right and this only shows up now and then for
    some reason.   I believe that I set everything up correctly on the
    ftp site I haven’t changed anything lately, and have used numerous FTP
    browsers, such as Filezilla with that site for a very long time (years) 
    with no issues ever. It is hard to think of a locus for the source of the
    problem other than one of those two.
    I'm planning to call the company serving my ftp site at some point, but what
    am I going to ask them other than if my ftp site is configured correctly? It
    says it is. It has always worked. It works using the labview example browser
    (which uses different vis), even when the "FTP Get file.vi" and FTP
    Get Buffer.vi" do not work at the same moment.

  • ITunes says updating files on my iPod, but podcasts do not show up.

    I have an iPod Classic 80g. It is set to manually manage files and disk use is enabled. Recently I had to reformat my PC and reinstall the OS and other programs. Prior to this I was able to click and drag the video podcast I subscribe to directly to my iPod. Now, after the reformat, when I drag the new podcasts to my iPod, iTunes says its updating files my files, but when its finished there are no files added to my iPod. When I try to add it again, it no longer says it's updating, but still nothing happens. I have checked in all available folders incase it was adding to the wrong place, but it is nowhere to be found except fot being temporarily in the recently added folded. All other media types like movies and music import without a problem to my iPod.
    Please help.

    I found this answer on http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-197870.html
    I tried it and it worked. I am not tech savy, but I am in the process of downloading all of the other shows this way. Once I entered in the url in the "sync podcasts", it then allowed me to place all of the newly downloaded podcasts under podcasts. I played around for a while, so not sure I can walk you through it, but it will work.
    Once I had synced the podcast, I went into podcast, dbl clicked on the original subscribed podcast show, that brought up the other shows and I downloaded them, one by one. Am trying a mass download, but cannot seem to do that.
    Hope this helps.
    05-25-2007, 04:09 PM
    Yeah, you have to subscribe to a podcast and select "Sync podcasts" for it to show up under "Podcasts" on the iPod. Even podcasts downloaded through iTunes won't show up here if you don't subscribe/sync but just put them in a playlist.

  • Shl script to ftp a file

    It's on a windows server, is there any reason not to use samba?
    FTP is painstakingly and the scripts break easily. If you just mount the windows share on your linux server, there's no need to transfer them, their available!
    I know this doesn't resolve the question you've got, but using a samba mount the whole script is obsolete.

  • How to make an applet to read the Text file present inside a jar

    Hi All,
    I have writen one applet named ReadFile.java which reads a text file present in the same directory and does some manipulation of text file contents.
    The applet code runs successfully when i run the applet in command prompt like
    {color:#ff0000}*java ReadFile*{color}
    And i am getting the needed results.
    Then i made a jar file with the applet code and text file as
    {color:#ff0000}*jar cvf rf.jar ReadFile.class File1.txt*{color}
    Then i have inlcuded this applet inside a html file as
    {color:#ff0000}*<applet code= "ReadFile.class" width= "500" height= "300" archive = "rf.jar" ></applet>*{color}
    after this when i load the html file, the applet code is not executed fully. Its throwing FileNotFoundException: File1.txt.
    Applet is not recognizing trhe text file present inside the jar file.
    Can any body explain me how to overcome this problem. Any setting needs to be done for making the applet indicate the presence of Text file inside the jar file.

    what code in your applet gets the text file and reads it? are you using getResource or something similar?

  • ITunes 10.5 won't update files properly on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, how can I fix this?

    I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5, but now when I try to edit the ID3 tags or artwork of songs on my
    iPod using iTunes, iTunes just says "Preparing to update files" but it never actually updates them. When I try to add songs
    manually to iPod (my iPod is not set up to sync music with iTunes [see note below]), the same thing happens, with the newly added
    songs appearing on the iPod library but are grayed out with a still loading icon next to them. Also, in some instances when I try
    to change the artwork of all the songs on an album, it grays out the songs I tried to change, puts an exclamation mark by them,
    and applies those changes to other songs on my iPod! And if I delete the songs I attempted to change it deletes the songs that
    were received the artwork change. The songs that were unintentionally changed somehow got overwritten by the songs I was trying to
    change while retaining the original tags of the songs that were changed. Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so let me give an
    example: song A is a song on an album on my iPod, song B is on song on a completely different album on the iPod. When I change the
    artwork on song A, it somehow messes up my library and song A overwrites song B, but it keeps all of song B's ID3 tags. So I don't
    know song B is song A until I play song B, at which point the ID3 tags are changed to the tags of the song A, and song B is just
    disappears. This only started happening after updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Not sure if the problem is caused by iTunes 10.5
    or iOS 5, but I did search online and found someone with the exact same problem effecting their iTunes 9.1 (no iPod involved). 
    Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Note:
    I add songs manually to iPod because I don't keep my music on my PC and sync my music with iTunes because it would take up too
    much space and I want to be able to add songs on my iPod from other computers. Once you set it up to sync music I believe it
    disables making any changes to your iPod with iTunes on other computers.

    okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies
