How can I create a directory on my server using FTP in applescript?

Hi
I have created a script which successfully uploads files to my server using FTP and a curl command.
The one thing I haven't worked out how to do is how to create a directory on my server using applescript. At the moment I have to manually create the correct directory for the script to work, but would like to be able to automate everything.
Would this be possible?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Bernard.
I have tried that and still get the error message:
"curl: Can't open '--ftp-create-dirs'!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory"
The other relevant parts of the script are:
set ftp_url to "ftp.****.org.uk/artists/" & artistName2 & "/assets/"
set ftp_username to "*****@*****.org.uk"
set ftp_password to "****"
set ftp_entire to ftp_username & ":" & ftp_password & " ftp://" & ftp_url
set outPath to outputFolder & fileCounter & ".jpg"
and then...
do shell script ("curl -T --ftp-create-dirs " & outPath & " -u " & ftp_entire)
Like I said, all works fine when the directories are already in place. I have permissions for the artists folder set to "777", i.e. writable. Because the script is trying to create two directories at once, i.e. "artistName2" and then "assets" under it, I wondered if this was significant, but then I tried with just one new directory, and still got the error.

Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
Using the Database Configuration Assistant
When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle

How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd hands on labs? with all the NW products install on it.

Hi,
Vague question, but to create a laptop with the solution installed - you need to order the solution and and then install it on the laptop. Or download trial versions from SCN and install those as well.

How can I create digital signatures for my users using Windows 2008 Active Directory Certificate Services?

Hi,
I need to create local digital signatures for my users. How can I do that using W2k8 Active Directory Certificate Services? We are gonna sign Office 2010 documents.
What company offers cheap digital signatures solutions?
Thanks in advanced

Consider the following:
if you use your local CA server to issue digital signature certificates, there is no cost, because you are eligible to issue so many certificates as you need. However, documents signed by these certificates will be considered trusted only within your AD
forest and other machines that explicitly trust your local CA. Any external client will not trust your signatures.
If you want to make your signature trusted outside your network (say, in worldwide), you need to pruchase a certificate from trusted commercial CA (VeriSign, GoDaddy, GlobalSign, StartCom, etc) according to respective vendor price list. In that case you
don't need to have your local CA server, because it is not used. All certificate management is performed by the external CA. A most common scenario is to purchase signing certificate for particular departament principals (head managers) or few certificates
for a whole company (all documents are revised by a responsible person or persons who holds signing certificate and sign them after review).
so, it is not clear from your post what exactly you need.

How can I create a directory chooser?

hi there
is there any way to create a directory chooser? because it is the directory that I am more interested in, but with JFileChooser, I must select a file to get a directory. help please, and thank you.

Just a followup regarding directory choosers.
I previously attempted to use the JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY selection to make a directory chooser, but found that this didn't allow the user to descend into the wanted directory, then select it.
The following code shows my attempt to resolve this. BTW, this works because the assumption has been made that when a directory is descended into, its name will appear in the file name field.
JFileChooser browser = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
               browser.removeChoosableFileFilter(browser.getAcceptAllFileFilter());
               browser.addChoosableFileFilter(new DirectoriesOnlyFilter());
               //This method will set the dialog type to custom via setDialogType(CUSTOM_DIALOG);
               if (browser.showDialog(this, "Select") != JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    return;
               File location = browser.getSelectedFile();
               if (!location.exists())
                    String dirName = location.getName();
                    //Find the requested directory by looking at the parent directory
                    location = location.getParentFile();
                    if (location.exists() && location.getName().equals(dirName))
                         //User has descended into the wanted directory -
                    else
                         //Cannot resolve the requested directory
               else if (location.isDirectory())
                    //The user has clicked, without descending, onto a directory in the chooser
                    //This is the directory that the user wants
               else
                    //Oops - File found. This should only happen in one of two cases:
                    //1) If there is a file with the same name as the directory it is in
                    //2) If the user has typed in a file name into the field
class DirectoriesOnlyFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
     public DirectoriesOnlyFilter()
     public boolean accept(File file)
          return file.isDirectory();
     public String getDescription()
          return "Directories";
}Hope this helps.

How do you create a directory on Apps Server

Hi
Is there any way to create a directory on the apps server at runtime using any of the forms built-ins or WebUtil?

Use the HOST command, since HOST works on the App Server. WebUtil works on the client PC.

How can i create work directory for Tomcat4 which is installed on Mandrake

Hello Everybody,
I installed Tomcat4 with the help of JPackage on Madrake Linux. It is working fine. But Unfortunatly my work folder in tomcat4 is deleted. I restarted my Tomcat, But the work folder not created. my application is not working. I need help from u people. Is there any other options to create work folder. I installed the tomcat4 from jpackage.
Thanks in advance, Naveen Kumar Madugula

4) Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat 4 Instances
In many circumstances, it is desirable to have a single copy of a Tomcat 4
binary distribution shared among multiple users on the same server. To make
this possible, you must configure a CATALINA_BASE environment variable (in
addition to CATALINA_HOME as described above) that points to a directory
that is unique to your instance.
When you do this, Tomcat 4 will calculate all relative references for files in
the following directories based on the value for CATALINA_BASE instead of
CATALINA_HOME:
* conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml)
* logs - Log and output files
* shared - For classes and resources that must be shared across all web
applications
* webapps - Automatically loaded web applications
* work - Temporary working directories for web applications
* temp - Directory used by the JVM for temporary files (java.io.tmpdir)
If you do not set CATALINA_BASE to an explicit value, it will be initialized
to the same value as is set for CATALINA_HOME (which means that the same
directory is used for all relative path resolutions).

Hey,
basically you should start with an empty SharePoint 2010 project where you add an List-EventReceiver. This Receiver should point to the url of the list and handle the ItemAdded-Event. In this method you place the code to create the database, for example
with a SQL-Statement.

Ask your host if they have a form-to-email script you can use. Many commercial hosts have scripts on their servers which you can activate through your C- or Admin-panel.
Failing that, there are some commercial products you can use.

How can you create an instance of a class using ClassLoader given only

the class name as a String. I have the code below in the try block.
Class myTest = this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("Testclass");
Object obj = myTest.newInstance();
String className = obj.getClass().getName();I don't want to typecast the class like
Testclass obj = (TestClass) myTest.newInstance();I want to be able to create the classs at runtime and then get the methods in the class and execute those methods. Can it be done without having to code the typecasting in before compile time?

I read on the web of people creating objects from interfacesDoesn't sound like the thing to do... Theoretically you could create dummy classes on the fly that implement some interface, but that's not very useful.
Sounds like you are trying to load classes and execute them via interfaces. Like this:
     Class clazz = Class.forName("java.util.LinkedList");
     Collection c = (Collection) clazz.newInstance();
     c.add("hello");
     c.add("world");
     System.out.println(Arrays.toString(c.toArray()));LinkedList is the class, Collection is the interface which LinkedList implements. You can then call the methods declared in the interface. The interface gets "compiled in" into the program and the classes that implement it get loaded whenever and from wherever you load them.
You could also use reflection to call methods without an interface, but that is type-unsafe, inelegant, hackish, and just plain ugly.

How can I create a line width 0 when using a line style other than solid?

Every time I select a line style other than solid,
the line width gets reset to 0. This makes for a
