How do I include a link to a file on my server, in an outgoing message?

Hi,
I manage an office with several desktops and a Mac Pro running Leopard Server. Users share files over afp. I want users to be able to write emails that include links to files on the server. Is there a way they can do this without laboriously typing in the entire path to the file? e.g., afp//:12.34.56.78/NetworkDrive/Project/Folder/This Is My File.doc
?

Hi,
Creating the alias on the desktop works fine, and accessing the file/folder from the desktop works fine too. And if the alias is to a file, I can drag it into a new Mail message and that works ok.
But if the alias is to a folder, dragging it into a Mail message window results in a 507KB attachment that, when clicked, says 'The document "NAME" could not be opened.'
By the way, dragging any alias onto the Mail dock icon in order to create a mail message from it, results in an entirely different behavior: rather than sending an alias, it send the original file/folder.

How do I email a link to a file on my server?

I know on windows machines you can email a link to different files on your computer that other people have access to like c:/caleb/documents/... but I am not sure how to do that with a mac
We use a server at work and my boss always tells me to open different files that are hard to navigate to. I am wondering if there is a way for him to just email me a link to the file so I can just click on the text in my email and it will open up the finder window with the file in it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Caleb

If users are on the local windows machine then "C:/path/..." will work, but if they're accessing it through the network then "\\servername\sharename\path\file" is how it's linked.
In the mac it's the same way. If "windows" file sharing is enabled then the slash-slash method will work if the users are on a windows PC. Otherwise, it will require the use of specific protocol prefixes in the address. For connecting via AFP (apple filing protocol -- the default and mac-native networking system) the following is the address to use:
     afp://servername/sharename/path/file
Emailing this address to users who can get network access to the computer will allow them to click the link and connect. For example, my machine is called "Laptop" (ip address is 192.168.1.3) and I have a file called "textfile.txt" located in a "testfolder" in my "Public" directory (which is the shared directory that is readable by users other than myself). To send a link to that file I'd send the following:
     afp://Laptop/Public/testfolder/textfile.txt
Alternately I can link to it using the IP address as follows:
     afp://192.168.1.3/Public/testfolder/textfile.txt
To connect to the same computer via windows networking (from a PC or Mac that has windows networking enabled), ensure you have windows networking turn on in your computer and the only difference in the address would be to use "smb" instead of "afp" in the addresses above. This is for NON-windows computers; since windows machines will not know what to do with "smb://servername...", and instead will require the "\\servername\..." notation.

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file. I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created. A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model. I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
This example has simple
buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
place record in form
of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
the next button and
based on that the button will be selected as the one last
clicked.
You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
button simply gotoAndPlay frame
to continue the part you need.

You can get to it using frontend class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES if you know the host name and have the correct permissions, for example, this program works great for me in my system.
report zrich_0001 .

data: xfiletable like line of ifiletable.
data: rc type i.
parameters: p_file1 type localfile default'\sapprdusr'.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file1.

     INITIAL_DIRECTORY       = '\sapprdusr'

How to create a download link for video file?

Hello guys,
I know this is not a question directly related to OS X, but I just can't find a solution. So I was hoping that some of you might know the answer, or could recommend further reading.
I have .mov video files (video footage) on the server. I would like to make these files accessible for download, via link.
So I am wondering .... how can I create a link, which would allow people to download .mov video files from the server?
Thanks for any advice or tip.

The question is, where is the server?
Is it on its own static IP? If it is not, it likely is on a DHCP configuration.
For those with DHCP, I recommend http://www.dyndns.com as a workaround, otherwise the links given will have to change as often as every hour!
Is it on a router, or does it have a firewall turned on in its sharing preferneces? Routers and firewalls block direct access from the outside. You need to setup the web sharing access on your router or firewall before someone can access it via the web.
Is the .mov file saved via Quicktime? You would also need to provide link on your page to http://www.apple.com/quicktime so that it may be downloaded by those who don't have it. If it is another format, you'll need a link to whatever format it is.
HTML for putting the video right on the page is usually controled by the EMBED function. That's covered here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html
Otherwise a simple hyperlink to the file will do, once you have an open web sharing port on a static IP or dyndns controled domain.

Include a link to attached files: is it possible?

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
When using Acrobat,Pro you can add attachments to a PDF file and include a link in the PDF file to this attachment. As a result, if you click on the link, the attachment will open in a new window.
Now, I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer, and on the bottom of the form I would like to include a link to an attached file. However, it seems that I cannot edit the newly created form in Acrobat Pro. Hence, I am not able to include a link to the attached file using the method described above.
I cannot find an option to attach files in LiveCycle Designer, nor a way to link to an attachment. Am I overlooking something, or is it just not possible to include a link to an attachment in a form created in LiveCycle Designer?
Many thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi,
I guess it is too late now, but you can do this in a LiveCycle Designer form. Just the same as an Acrobat form, except you refer to the Doc object as event.target. So to attach a file use this JavaScript;
if (event.target.importDataObject("MyAttachedFile"))
var attachmentObject = event.target.getDataObject("MyAttachedFile");
console.println("Attachment path="+attachmentObject.path);
And, this will open it.
event.target.exportDataObject({ cName: "MyAttachedFile", nLaunch: 2 });

How do you include images into the swf file?

I have an application that dynamically loads images from a folder to display in the application. Images display fine in the app through the IDE. Since these are not embeded images, compiling the swf leaves them out. How do I get them in? Specifically, how do I do this through the mxmlc ANT task?
This is what I am doing in the code:
new BitmapFileMaterial("components/test/images/testimage.png")
So basically the image needs to be in this location within the created swf file.
Thanks for any help.

You have to use the metadata in your source code. You can't alter where the Image will find the data at compile time. It is better to not embed images in most cases, especially if they are big.
If you're asking how to get ANT to copy your image files somewhere, see the ANT doc. I'm pretty sure there's a tag

How do I get the size of a file on a server with an Applet

Hei,
I have a problem. I have some files that I need to read in with InputStream to get an Array of bytes. The Applet and the files are on the same server.
My Prob is, that when I use
URL(daFile).getFile().getSize();
it only gives the inaccurate size from the dirlisting (i.e. 48 for 48k)
So I can not build an array with the correct Size.
Does anyone knows how I get the correct size of a file.
Big thx
LoCal

Appler can open connections to server it was downloaded from. You don't need such complicated API as RMI... Just simple java server listening for queries.
Like this:
Applet:
1. take a file path
2. connect to simple server (gives OutputStream and InputStream)
3. create ObjectOutputStream and send fiel to server (File is serializable)
4. Read String with size from input stream
Server
1. Wait for connection
2. When client connected create ObjectInputStream and expect File instance
3. Get file size
4 Replay with String with size
Like this...

How to schedule a program for download a file to Presentation Server

hi all,
I need to schedule a program which will download a file to presentation server. How can i handle this or is there any other to download a file during scheduling?
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance

Hi Jayasree,
You can download your file to application server in background scheduling.
In your program use OPEN DATASET command for achieving this.
How ever, as far as i know, it is not possible to download the file to presentation server in background job.

How can i get all links from html file ?

I tried some code:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(filename, Encoding.UTF8);
var metaTags = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta");
if (metaTags != null)
foreach (var tag in metaTags)
if (tag.Attributes["name"] != null && tag.Attributes["content"] != null)
text = tag.Attributes["name"].Value;
mys = tag.Attributes["content"].Value;
var linksOnPage = from lnks in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants()
where lnks.Name == "a" &&
lnks.Attributes["href"] != null &&
lnks.InnerText.Trim().Length > 0
select new
Url = lnks.Attributes["href"].Value,
Text = lnks.InnerText
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode
.SelectNodes("//a/@href | //img/@src"))
metas.Add(node.Name);
In the var linksOnPage i'm getting all the links but some of them not only links for example the first item i see:
[0] = { Url = "/", Text = "    " }
Then the second item:
[1] = { Url = "http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=login", Text = "התחבר" }
Next i want to add another loop or variable that will contain only the links after im src for example:
<img
src="http://mysite.com"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">
So to get only http://mysite.com
So in the end i will have two Lists:
First List will contain all links from the html file.
Second List only links that are in img src

Ok i'm using regex now and i can get the links i need:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
foreach (string hh in fall)
if (hh.Contains("http://rotter.net") && hh.Contains("locked")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_sport")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_camera")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(hh))
metas.Add(m.Value);
So now in the metas i have in this case two links.
For example the first link is from this block in the file:
The link i got is : http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif
And this is the right link from this block but now how do i get the text from this block and how i connect how do i know that this text belong to the link ? I need to add this text from this block to a new List. Before all that i counted on my own lines
and got the text but that's a bad idea.
I need somehow to get: שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:
To get the text between the ToolTip',' and the second ',' but not from all the html file only in places of this two links i extracted.

How do I share a link to a file and have the other person download the file without having to add them explicitly as a member, like Dropbox does?

With Dropbox, I right click on a file within my designated Dropbox folder and choose share Dropbox link. This copies a unique URL that I can send to anyone to then download that file and that file only. I do not have to add people to my access list to allow the download.
How do I do this with Oracle Documents? I have one off large files that I prefer not to send via email, however, I do not want to add everybody in the company as a member to my access list.

There is an option called Public Links which allows you to do this. Select your item and click Share. This throws a pop-up dialog. On the left side of the dialog you may have 3 options - Members, Member Links, Public Links. If the Public Links option is not there, then your service administrator has disallowed them from use. The Public Links option is a controversial one in the enterprise space. DropBox's original offering had no qualms with offering public links because the content was guaranteed to be the property of the dropbox user. However, at enterprise level, the content belongs to the owning enterprise, so service administrators may elect not to allow this feature. This is down to your organisation.
If you see the Public Links option, click on it and the right side of the popup dialog will change. You can specify:
a name for each link you create (so you can keep track of which link is which),
Link Permissions, only the following are available for obvious reasons - Viewer, Downloader, Contributor
Link Expiration Date - a date after which the link will not work
Access Code - a pass code which you can divulge to expected recipients by alternative means of your own choosing. This access code guarantees a measure of security on a link which could otherwise be used by anybody
You can create several public links for the same item, and each of those can have the above settings, so you could have one link for downloaders and a separate link for contributors, for example. Each link can then be sent, either by copy/paste or through the email button to the right of the link. You can also modify the link using the pen icon, so you can unexpire it or reset its expiry date. You can also delete a link using the trash button next to it.
I hope this explains the public link feature.
Regards,
Frank.

How do I add web links to PDF files

I have a pdf file with a list of songs, and I need to add a web link to each one.
How do I do it?

Hi,
That is not possible via CreatePDF, in createPDF you need to upload the file on your machine for convertion. For Website convertion to PDF, you would require Adobe Acrobat.

How do I? (involving links and movie files)

#1. How do I get a movie to close after it has played?
#2. In my menu I have 8 links. I'd like to have 7 links disappear when the user rolls over the 1 link. How would I make the other 7 disappear when the user is rolled over 1?
Thanks.

1. I am not well-versed in video matters, so the best I can offer is to tell you to look at the FLVPlayBack component in the help documents to see what kinds of events it can provide indications for. It seems as though when you start a new video, it closes out the existing one, so you may want to look into that code to see how it is closing the player, and then use that code when a movie completion event is detected. If you are using AS3, then the help docs tabulate all of the properties, methods, and events separately, so they should be easy to find. YOu'd be looking for an event that signals the movie is done playing.
2. As I mentioned already, to control the visibility of things dynamically you need to assign instance names to each of your links, each of which needs to be either a movieclip or a button. Then you can use actionscript to set the visibility to true or false as needed. What I will usually do is have a function that does this for things as a group, make all the buttons invisible/visible at the same time, while keeping the selected one visible. You still haven't divulged which version of actionscript you are using.
