How to Automate FTP Uploading?

Hi,
I was hoping someone could let me know how to do the following:
If I update a html page, is there a way that I can have the updated page uploaded to the server at a specific time? Is there a program or extension that does this? There are many times that I need to upload a page that has been updated, but need it to be uploaded during the middle of the night...I was hoping for a solution for this.
Thanks for any info!

You can also use a WebDAV command line tool like cadaver or sitecopy to automate loading of content through the Portal WebDAV interface.

How to automate the upload x 509 certificate to SAP process.

Hi Pros,
We currently using x509 for SSO. However, we have to manually load the x509 certificate to the SAP ABAP system for every new users, or a certificate is expired.
Has anyone been able to automate this process? How to know when a certificate is about to be expired? how automatically create the x509 cer file? how to upload the x509 automatically to SAP ABAP?    Please let me know if more information is needed.
Thank you.

Hi Julius & Olivierl,
I had the programer look at the the RUSREXT program. We tried to run the program step-by-step but not knowing how to 1. point the program to look at the certificate file, 2. mapping the values from the file to the variables in the program. What should I fill in the fields on the screen below. This screem came up during the step-by-step run of the RUSREXT program

Has anyone out there tried to automate this process to take place of TCode "EXTID_DN"? Thank you.

How to automate files upload?

I have a folder on a shared drive that contains 10 .csv files. The files get updated everyday automatically. I need to upload this 10 files to my SP website everyday at 8AM. Is there any way I could create a workflow to do this ?
(PS I am not allowed to install SP server, so i cannot use Microsoft Visual Studio)

Tapan, unfortunately that script won't work in a scenario where the SharePoint OM isn't available, such as what I took away from Borat's scenario.

How to disable parsing for FTP uploads?

I would like to upload documents into iFS using FTP, but I don't want them to be parsed during upload. How could I disable parsing for FTP uploads?
Thanks, Daniel.

Hi, Are you using FTP inside or outside of Firewall. We are facing problems in ifs uploading when the users are outside of the firewall. This problem does not exist if we are using port 21, but since this is a well know port, we choose to use something else.
May be you can share with us on how to configure IFS to enable ftp ( except port 21 ) outside of firewall.

Help with ftp upload problem

Hi I am using a ftp class (known as FTPConnection) that i found on this site: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm , and they only have an example of how to download a File through FTP and not upload one. I am in the proccess of making an FTP upload applet, and need some help on getting upload to work. I also need it to work on both a Pc and mac, so that may be attributing to the problem becuase i am currently on a mac which uses file:// instead of C:\\. Ill post the ftp class, and a snippet of my code that tries to upload a selected file.

* Parts of this code were adopted from a variety of other FTP classes the
* author has encountered that he was not completely satisfied with. If you

* let him know. With that caveat, this class can be freely distributed and
* modified as long as Bret Taylor is given credit in the source code comments.
* Modified by Julian Robichaux -- http://www.nsftools.com
* Added constructors, logout(), listFiles(), listSubdirectories(), getAndParseDirList(),
* processFileListCommand(), and overloaded getFullServerReply().
* Also added StringBuffer parameter options to transferData() and executeDataCommand()
* and did a few other little things.
import java.io.*;

* A wrapper for the network and command protocols needed for the most common
* FTP commands. Standard usage looks something like this:
* <pre> FTPConnection connection = new FTPConnection();
* try {
* if (connection.connect(host)) {
* if (connection.login(username, password)) {
* connection.downloadFile(serverFileName);
* connection.uploadFile(localFileName);
* connection.disconnect();
* } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
* // handle unknown host
* } catch (IOException e) {
* // handle I/O exception
* }</pre>
* Most FTP commands are wrapped by easy-to-use methods, but in case clients
* need more flexibility, you can execute commands directly using the methods
* <a href="#executeCommand(java.lang.String)">executeCommand</a> and
* <a href="#executeDataCommand(java.lang.String,
* java.io.OutputStream)">executeDataCommand</a>,
* the latter of which is used for commands that require an open data port.

ok i tried explaining th eproblem in the previous post, but i apologize if my explanation was poor. anyways, i tried to look into it further by doing a printStackTrace() and believe it may be a read error. here is my new updated snippet, and also a link to a screenshot ([click here for screenshot|http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4qr0.png]) of what the error looks like on my end. it seems like a socket is not being read, or maybe it is initialized properly. Again I apologize if my problem is vague, but I do appreciate your input. thanks.

How do i only upload certain photos to photo stream?

i dont want every photo i take to be uploaded to photo stream. often times i take photos until i get exactly what i want, so alot of my photos are deleted useless. how do i simply upload the ones i want to backup?

You have no control over this, other than to delete the photos you don't want from your photo stream. New photos are all automatically pushed to your photo stream whenever you device is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
Perhaps more importantly, you can't use iCloud to back up your photos. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, and if you delete them from your phone, they are also deleted from iCloud. Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, but if you delete the photos from your phone, then continue to back it up, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by a backup that doesn't, and they will be lost.
To keep your camera roll photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you need to back up photo stream photos that aren't in your camera roll, save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit (Select in iOS 7), tap the photos, tap Share (the share icon in iOS 7), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then they can be imported to your computer as well.

Rohit,
If its about installation/Deployment of Agent- then its through SDM,
'configuration' can be manual or Atuomatic:
Manual-> refer the installation Guide which digesh has mentioned -(from page 20).
Automatic- Its through Diagnostics Setup through Solman -(Its bit easy).

How do i ftp to MobileMe (without doing it in iWeb)

I have had several problems publishing to MMe.
I have had to republish my whole site several times and i'm frustrated and fed up. The site is video and images, but mainly video clips that are anywhere from 35 to 100 mb in size.
I decided to publish to a folder, and upload to the MME site from the site itself. Now I see another problem.
1. iWeb published the first 2 albums, everything was visible, text and images.
2. I added more pages to one of the albums, as well as 2 more albums and published to a folder.
3. I uploaded the index.html and feed , as well as the album.html pages that published to the folder, but don't see the text on some of the albums ... Why?
4. At MMe, i'm uploading the new pages into Media of one of the albums, but i can't upload the 4 folders as i can with fetch: i have to create a new folder and upload its contents, one folder at a time. This is very tedious.
How can i use Fetch to upload my site to MME? What settings do i use, if anyone know?
I am so frustrated with MMe and iWeb right now ... the other part of our site is hosted elsewhere, but because of limited space we moved the image/video files on MME. I have no trouble using Fetch with the other site, and it took the image files fine originally, too.
But now I have to use a slower connection, and having to rebuild the MME site for the 4th time in 2 months is a real pain! ... I just can't do it again.
Thanks for any help possible
Elizabeth

Thank you Ethmoid
I use fetch because I got a license to it for our non-profit organization and it has worked for our other host. I didn't realize there was a different ftp language. I can download Cyberduck and give it a try for MobileMe.
I think I have partly solved my problem. Awhile ago i was having similar problems and was told to drag and drop the files to the iDisc from my computer and last night i finally figured out how! So i uploaded one whole album (only took 6 hours) and didn't time out once. Now I'm uploading pages of another.
But one problem i see is that the front page of an album that I uploaded from the MobileMe site itself is missing it's text and captions. I've tried republishing and uploading the album.html again, but it's still not right. Maybe it will fix itself once all the album pages are there.
However, for future reference in case i give up on this method and turn to Cyberduck, what path do i follow to connect and reach my files? Is this info on the site?
Thank you
Elizabeth

How to automatically settle diners expenses on trips

Hi Knowledgeable Ones,
Does anyone know how to automatically settle Diners club (Credit Card Clearing) expenses after uploading the diners expense statement.
Once done we require the Diners expenses only to be settled and transferred to the various GL's that have already been configured.
Can this be done via config or do we need to look at creating a custom program?
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
Maahir

tlanghauser,
I would create a 14 column table headed 1) Category, 2-13) the twelve months (Jan-Dec), and 3) Total. Then, each row would contain one of the categories. Be careful to spell these categories exactly as in the monthly tables.
The basic formula for each cell is: =SUMIF(Jan :: Category,$A2,Jan :: Cost)
(Note comma between $A2 and Jan)
and, of course, the Total is: =SUM(B2:D2)
This approach not only give your totals to-date, but an analysis of expenses by month.

Trouble with browser editing FTP upload

I have been updating a site to a sub-domain of my personal site while working for client. Yesterday when I tried to walk them through the in-browser editing feature I got an error that wouldn't let me login to edit the site. I followed all of the instructions in the error message (use the "upload via FTP" setting, sign in with the same user) but I still can't log in. Is this a bug with how Muse handles sub-domains, or what else am I doing wrong?

No, everything uploaded correctly. You can see my site properly

Problems With FTP Upload in Leopard 10.5.3-4

Hi, I experience a strange problem with ftp upload speed in 10.5.3-4. When I start upload a file to my trusted ftp server the upload speed starts to decrease from 300 kb/sec to 35 -40 kb/sec. It remains normal for 1-2 minutes (about 300 kb/sec) and then smoothly decreases to 35 -40 kb/sec. Pressing Stop and then Resume in Cyberduck makes speed normal for 1-2 minutes and then it starts to decrease again. It does not depend on ftp-client, it does not matter if I use either Cyberduck, Transmit or Fetch. It happens if I use either ethernet or airport connection. I have my old Powerbook with 10.4.11, it's connected to the same router with the same settings and the same time upload speed remains stable about 300 kb/sec.
But when I transfer files from my Macbook to my old Powerbook via ftp everything is fine. And when I transfer files to ftp server of my local ISP it's also fine.
Please, help me, I have to upload big 100 Mb files very often and it's significant difference for me 30 or 300 kb/sec
Boris

I'm afraid it's not just the Duck or FTP, Boris....It's many many Apps...and protocols... 10.5 appears to have ;broken',a number of file transfer protocols and Apps... (Wired and KDX are two that come to mind- precisely the same symptoms, AND some others) Apple's own 'built-in' FTP appears OK Mac-Mac, oddly enough.
There's obviously some kind of weird Copy-Paste problem too.
It's obviously 'fixable' or a workaround is available because several s/w mobs have released 'fixes for 10.5 file transfer Bug'
The rest of us will just have to wait while another unannounced,unacknowledged, gaping hole in the Mac OS is quietly fixed and our expensive s/w sits unusable...
Not really good enough, is it ?
Like: Not being able to automatically detect a part file transfer on FTP and Auto-resume from whence you left off: something we thought was pretty cool- back in about 1984.... and absolutely essential in 86 or so.
Boris:You will almost certainly find that it happens whatever the client-server server setup and applications or Medium... I've seen precisely what you describe happen with Airport, Cable, 10/100/1000' local' LAN...
- and watching your throughput drop from 300K to 300 BYTES/Sec is NO FUN.
I've spent a lot of time and money convincing potential 'Switchers' of the superiority of the Mac way over the last 20 years or so...
I'm getting pretty tired at defending the indefensible: 'SkoolBoy Misstakes' in a 24 year old 'superior Computer.- Not Good enough, Apple.

No FTP upload progress in CS6

The FTP upload progess window in Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't show the progress (Mac OS X 10.7.3).
The progress bar is empty and there's no uploaded bytes counter either.
It's a major bummer.
Hope it will be fixed soon.
In addition, if you minimize the progess window into the Dock, it doesn't get closed automatically once the transfer is complete - like it was in previous version of Dreamweaver.
It was very handy, Adobe please bring it back!
Thanks,
Leo

Thanks,
I just updated to 10.7.4, and while it fixed the icons issue indeed, the problem with FTP progress is still the same.
I submitted the bug through Adobe bug reporter.
Do you see the progress on your machine?
