How do i create a directory in powershell

How do i create a directory in power shell

Hi JRC,
have youi got some experenance using powershell? please read the documentation md is an alias for the new-item command. whereas mkdir is implemented as a function (powershell v2) so you are able to use the new-item command in order to create a new folder.
because both command md and mkdir calls new-item.
If you don´t specifiy a parametername then it´s up to the cmdlet definition as what parameter this value is interpreted.
get-help new-item lists all available cmlet executables.
regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com
'Folder" is NOT an argument for the ItemType. ItemType only takes "file" and "Directory"
Hi,
use this command
new-item -Name <foldername> -ItemType folder
regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com
This is what we get:
17:47 PS>new-item -Name e:\tests\testfolder -ItemType folder
New-Item : The type is not a known type for the file system. Only "file" and "directory" can be specified.
At line:1 char:9
+ new-item <<<< -Name e:\tests\testfolder -ItemType folder
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-Item], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Argument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewItemCommand
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How will i create physical directory in oracle pl/sql using java

how will i create physical directory in oracle pl/sql using java

This is, I suspect, related to Re: how will i overcome from this error java.io.IOException. Quite why you felt the need to have two partial threads instead of one thread with a complete set of information is beyond me. Perhaps this muddled thinking is indicative....
Anyway, if I was looking to do this particular task in Java I would look to using the specific command File.mkdir() rather than trying to use a generic exec approach.

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.

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.

Create home directory using powershell

Hi Experts -
Currently AD 11.1.1.5 is deployed. The home directory is been prepopulated at the time of creation of AD account, and there is a custom task called updatehomedir which gets triggered on success response of create user.
The problem is, the customer has 40 domain controllers and if I use the OOTB process tasks, it fails to find the user and gives me an invalid structure error, meaning it is not able to find the user. So when the first request goes for creating the user, it picks up a random domain controller and if the home directory parameter is been sent in the creation request it fails. so, the post user creation task works fine.
The Ad connector creates the home directory with the full permissions to the user on that folder, and also it clears out all the existing permissions. By that, it does not inherits the container permissions. SR said, that it is an ER.
How do I implement it.
The approach that looks feasible is
1. Change the provision attribute mapping for homeDirectory to say customHomeDirectory
2. Disable the home directory update task
3. Call a powershell after creation action
4. In that powershell get the process form value, and run the creation of home directory with appropirate permissions.
And I cannot test it, as the only environment where i have folders is production...
-Thanks
Kunal Jain

After some decompilation I found this
DirectorySecurity dirSecurity = new DirectorySecurity();
PropertyValueCollection pvc = directoryEntry.Properties[ActiveDirectoryConnector.ATT_OBJECT_SID];
SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier((byte[])pvc[0], 0);
dirSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(sid, FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow));
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryName, dirSecurity);
Does this strip of the permissions of the file admins on the container. that is inheriting is not done????

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).

Creating A Directory

In the tutorial "Building An Appliction", it states that the first step is:
"Create a directory called divelog.
Under the divelog directory, create another directory called images.
For the Windows platform:
C:\divelog\images".
My question is, how do I create a directory? My experience in programing is zero. I've only worked with HTML, so please excuse my ignorance on such a simple task!

I'm not sure it's this, but i think the tutorial means that you have to create the files using windows explorer and not using a programming language. Open WE and try it

Create nested directory on FTP folder if they don't exist while uploading file

How can I create nested directory on FTP folder if they don't exist. A local file is suppose to exactly uploaded in the same directory structure level in ftp folder. My question is -
1. Is there any C# opensource/free library that take care of creation of all sub-directories from file-path, if they don't exist on ftp and upload the file in one shot.
2. How much it will be feasible to make all these uploads along with some database update, archive, quarantine task in asynchronous? All succeeding tasks are sequentially depends in their order.i.e. ftp upload >> database update>> archive
from local >> quarantine the folder
This really requires parallel & asynchronous operation for heavy upload/transfer and going to be done by a Windows-Service.

Hello,
Your Subject:
>Sender File adpter --don't raise alerts when file does not exist in folder
is contradictory to your question.
>if the file does not exist,it is throwing an alert like "Could not process file '.file..xml: No such file or directory '
> Is there any way i can avoid raising an alert if file does not exist in the source folder.
I know you want to say "Don't Raise alerts when file does not exist in folder". Correct me if I am wrong.
Some times it happens, when we write the right thing but it means something else and this is the reason many experts have replied, "how to raise an alert". So if you remove the word "Sender File adapter" from your subject then it will be easy to understand the exact meaning.

Create a directory on the server based on the username logged in the client

hello everybody,
All my files which are transferred from client to server are stored in a directory called "workspace".Before the user sends the files, he is authenticated.How can I create a directory on the user name who is logged in on the server???
Say, user1 has logged in and tries to send files to server.Now, I'd like to create a sub-directory user1 under work space so that all the files which he uploads will be stored under his name.When the user1 is logged in the first time, a directory will be created on his name else all files will be stored under his directory.
I'm using JDBC with my-sql.
ANy ideas??
Thanks for your time.

Well, it wouldn't matter what DB you are using....
You have the user name, correct?
You have the File object refering to the main directory, correct?
File userDir = new File(mainDir, username);
if(!userDir.exists()) {
if(!userDir.mkdirs()) {
throw new IOException("Can't make directory " + userDir.getAbsolutePath());
// use userDir to write any files...

How can I create a Teststand (1.0.3 or 2.0) distribution without having all of the VIs (6.0.2 or 6.1) in the same directory?

How would I create a Teststand distribution of LabVIEW VIs and maintain the test VI directory structure that I want?
I know that I have to use the application builder to build the custom operator interface, configure it as an ActiveX server, and launch the Teststand engine installation.
The only problem that I have is using the VI packager which puts all of the test code and sequences in a single directory.
This gets quite messy. There are just over 1000 files in the neatly orgainzed directory structure that I have now. (this includes support files, dll's and such)
I have read brief appnotes on configuring the ini file(s) to use
the vi search path that I want, but have not been able to get this to work. Maybe I'm not updating the correct ini? or have to include each subdirectory?
I have currently upgraded from LabVIEW 6.0.2 to 6.1
I am currently using Teststand 1.0.3
I have not upgraded to Teststand 2.0 yet because I have not decided if I want to build at this revision or go through the extra work to mass compile Teststand at LabVIEW 6.1, install the LabVIEW 6i VI Packager Fix, and update the new Teststand LV operator interface with my changes.
At present, I'm not getting the results I want and am quickly running out of time. I have to deliver the project by the 14th of July 2002.
Sorry for the long question and thanks for you help.

Hi,
I dont think the problem is really related to using the VI Packager but more to how the OI interface applications relates to labVIEW File constants.
If you are using the LabVIEW as the ActiveX Server then there should be no problems. But if you are using the Runtime LabVIEW server such as 'TestStandLVRTS' then the file constant would return different paths.
eg for the Default Path you would get 'C:\TestStand\Components\User\RuntimeServers\LabVIEW' instead of 'c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW'.
Attacted is an example to show how to change these paths when using your runtime server. Unzip this into your teststand examples folder
Put the INI file in the location of the \user\runtimeservers\labview folder.
Change the labview adapter t
o use TestStandLVRTS.exe. You can run the example sequence from either the OI or seqeditor.
I hope this helps

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:
