Has anyone used Symbolic Links?

I have some files on other volumes of my network that I want
to link to. I want the files to "appear" to be in the root folder
of Dreamweaver. I think a SymLink or symbolic link, or maybe a hard
link is what I need. Has anyone here done such a thing?

in IIS you would need to make a virtual folder that points to
the folder in
question somewhere on the network. However, dealing with
varying network
permissions can be a major PITA.

  • Has anyone used or researched using Peavey AmpKit LiNK and it's Applications in GB for the iPad?

    Has anyone used or resarched using Peavey AmpKit LiNK Hi-Fidelity Guitar Interface for Ampkit and Ampkit+ Applications on the ipad and with GarageBand. It seems that AmpKit unit gets better reviews than the iRig as an interface...
    A couple of questions... Does it work with GB (iPad and GB 11)... There is a recording function on the Ampkit Application... would this be compataible with GB for the ipad and also GB11 on the imac...
    Also if you have any experinces / thoughts on the usabilitiy of the AmpKit unit with the ipad that would be great...

    I have both the Ampkit link and a iRig. The AmpKit link is much better it sounds about the same as the iRig but much less noise. It works great with Garageband. I don't use the Ampkit software for recording. I have used AmpKit+ and Amplitube Fender on the ipad plugged into a PA and as a modeler for recording in Garageband (Mac).

  • Has anyone used Muse to create a static web page that gets translated into Joomla?

    Has anyone used Muse to create a static web page (html and xml) that gets translated into a Joomla template?

    Obviously I am out of my league. I am not a programer and I thought this would be something simple, but you guys are talking over my head.
    I thought I could create a simple link to the Happy.rdp and it would run...but as mentioned, you can't do that.
    What I have is a java script with a bunch of parameters (see below) that creates a pull-down menu. I was hoping I could list the names of the servers, click on the one I want to connect to, and I would get the log-in screen. That is my goal.
    I have a "Happy.rdp" icon on my desktop and I click on that and the remote connection starts. I have opened "Happy.rpd" in notepad and it has all the parameters (such as the IP address and stuff) that allow me to connect.
    * Menu selection script         *
    var NoOffFirstLineMenus=2;   // Number of first level items
    var LowBgColor='';   // Background color when mouse is not over
    var LowSubBgColor='b0b0b0';   // Background color when mouse is not over on subs
    var HighBgColor='';   // Background color when mouse is over
    ETC...
    // Menu tree
    // MenuX=new Array(Text to show, Link, background image (optional), number of sub elements, height, width);
    // For rollover images set "Text to show" to:  "rollover:Image1.jpg:Image2.jpg"
    Menu1=new Array("","http://home.com","",0,20,0);
    Menu2=new Array("Servers","","",1,20,115);
          Menu2_1=new Array("Servers","Happy.rdp","",0,20,170);

  • Has anyone used JAAS with WebLogic?

    Has anyone used JAAS with Weblogic? I was looking at their example, and I have a bunch of questions about it. Here goes:
    Basically the problem is this: the plug-in LoginModule model of JAAS used in WebLogic (with EJB Servers) seems to allow clients to falsely authenticate.
    Let me give you a little background on what brought me to this. You can find the WebLogic JAAS example (to which I refer below) in the pdf: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/pdf/security.pdf . (I believe you want pages 64-74) WebLogic, I believe goes about this all wrong. They allow the client to use their own LoginModules, as well as CallBackHandlers. This is dangerous, as it allows them to get a reference (in the module) to the LoginContext's Subject and authenticate themselves (i.e. associate a Principal with the subject). As we know from JAAS, the way AccessController checks permissions is by looking at the Principal in the Subject and seeing if that Principal is granted the permission in the "policy" file (or by checking with the Policy class). What it does NOT do, is see if that Subject
    has the right to hold that Principal. Rather, it assumes the Subject is authenticated.
    So a user who is allowed to use their own Module (as WebLogic's example shows) could do something like:
    //THEIR LOGIN MODULE (SOME CODE CUT-OUT FOR BREVITY)
    public class BasicModule implements LoginModule
    private NameCallback strName;
    private PasswordCallback strPass;
    private CallbackHandler myCB;
    private Subject subj;
             //INITIALIZE THIS MODULE
               public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)
                      try
                           //SET SUBJECT
                             subj = subject;  //NOTE: THIS GIVES YOU REFERENCE
    TO LOGIN CONTEXT'S SUBJECT
                                                     // AND ALLOWS YOU TO PASS
    IT BACK TO THE LOGIN CONTEXT
                           //SET CALLBACKHANDLERS
                             strName = new NameCallback("Your Name: ");
                             strPass = new PasswordCallback("Password:", false);
                             Callback[] cb = { strName, strPass };
                           //HANDLE THE CALLBACKS
                             callbackHandler.handle(cb);
                      } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }
         //LOG THE USER IN
           public boolean login() throws LoginException
              //TEST TO SEE IF SUBJECT HOLDS ANYTHING YET
              System.out.println( "PRIOR TO AUTHENTICATION, SUBJECT HOLDS: " +
    subj.getPrincipals().size() + " Principals");
              //SUBJECT AUTHENTICATED - BECAUSE SUBJECT NOW HOLDS THE PRINCIPAL
               MyPrincipal m = new MyPrincipal("Admin");
               subj.getPrincipals().add(m);
               return true;
             public boolean commit() throws LoginException
                   return true;
        }(Sorry for all that code)
    I tested the above code, and it fully associates the Subject (and its principal) with the LoginContext. So my question is, where in the process (and code) can we put the LoginContext and Modules so that a client cannot
    do this? With the above example, there is no Security. (a call to: myLoginContext.getSubject().doAs(...) will work)
    I think the key here is to understand JAAS's plug-in security model to mean:
    (Below are my words)
    The point of JAAS is to allow an application to use different ways of authenticating without changing the application's code, but NOT to allow the user to authenticate however they want.
    In WebLogic's example, they unfortunately seem to have used the latter understanding, i.e. "allow the user to authenticate however they want."
    That, as I think I've shown, is not security. So how do we solve this? We need to put JAAS on the server side (with no direct JAAS client-side), and that includes the LoginModules as well as LoginContext. So for an EJB Server this means that the same internal permission
    checking code can be used regardless of whether a client connects through
    RMI/RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE (etc). It does NOT mean that the client gets to choose
    how they authenticate (except by choosing YOUR set ways).
    Before we even deal with a serialized subject, we need to see how JAAS can
    even be used on the back-end of an RMI (RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE) application.
    I think what needs to be done, is the client needs to have the stubs for our
    LoginModule, LoginContext, CallBackHandler, CallBacks. Then they can put
    their info into those, and everything is handled server-side. So they may
    not even need to send a Subject across anyways (but they may want to as
    well).
    Please let me know if anyone sees this problem too, or if I am just completely
    off track with this one. I think figuring out how to do JAAS as though
    everything were local, and then putting RMI (or whatever) on top is the
    first thing to tackle.

  • Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband.  How do I set it up?

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

    Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
    For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
    Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

    Hi Don
    I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
    I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
    I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
    Hope this helps

  • Has anyone used the QuickUSB module (Bitswise Systems) to interface to a USB Camera via IMAQ for USB?

    Has anyone used the QuickUSB module made by Bitwise Systems with LabVIEW for image acquisition.   I have a USB camera and I'm trying to use the IMAQ for USB controls to no avail.   Any input is appreciated. 

    Are you using the NI-IMAQ for USB functions or are you calling the QuickUSB libraries from LabVIEW?  Unless the USB camera is DirectShow compliant, then it will not work with the NI-IMAQ for USB driver.  You can use the Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to call external dll's, and it looks like from QuickUSB's website that is the best way to go.  Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone used Thunderbolt or USB 3.0?

    In the not too distant future I am intending to upgrade from my 2008 24"  2.8GHz iMac.
    The new models appear to have gone down the Thunderbolt route which appears to be not very popular with HDs being few and far between and very expensive.
    USB 3.0 whilst theoretically only half the speed seems to be taking off and reasonably cheap, and appears to be more universally adopted.
    Could Apple have backed the wrong horse on this occasion?
    Sorry, I was just thinking aloud, definitely not speculating.
    So has anyone used Thunderbolt and got anything good or bad to say about it?

    Not personally:
    The german computer-magazine c't tested the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt and found it speedwise way ahead of USB 3.0 and eSATA.
    As a RAID-Level 0 with 6 x Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 (7.200 U/min, 1TB each) and MBP 13" 2011 OSX 10.6.8:

  • Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

    So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server.  In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers.  The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases.  There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
    Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?  Are there any details that are particularly important to get right?  Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
    There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course.  I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them.  That would complicate such an approach.  I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

    yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
    OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
    i do not recall having any problems with it.

    I just saw a message that iWeb has been discontinued by Apple.  It suggested changing to EverWeb.  Has anyone used this or do you have another recommendation?

    Hi
    I have now used Everweb to transfer a website from iWeb &amp; am now working on transferring a second website.
    I cannot recommend Everweb highly enough. I am an amateur, so iWeb was the easy option for me. Everweb is just as easy to use and very similar to iWeb. New features are being added every few days.
    I am extremely impressed by the excellent and prompt service from both the forum and support. All my questions have been answered (&amp; there have been many of them!)
    Everweb is complimented by an excellent site Everweb codebox which has developed more widgets and codes to add to Everweb. Roddy from Everweb codebox has been invaluable by answering questions on the forum &amp; generally complimenting the Everweb team.
    I have purchased the Everweb program &amp; Hosting. This gives my 1 click updating and works seamlessly. The price is competitive and the support exemplary.
    All in all, I am delighted with Everweb, excellent program &amp; excellent support!! I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.
    In answer to your question...buy it!!!!
