How to configure/send http links to files on a drive?

We recently switched over to a Mac-based file server for our small business from a Windows server after a hardware failure. Previously we were able to send HTTP links (I believe using FTP?) to clients that linked directly to video files on one of the drives within the server, which would play back in a browser window or could be downloaded by saving the link. I'm now trying to figure out how to add this functionality to the new server. I'm not an IT guy so this is all kind of Italian to me. All I'm looking for is someone to point me in the right direction.
What I do know is that the old links were formatted as such:
zcg911.us/_clients/cintas/example.mov
There was a drive attached to the server we labeled "htdocs" which contained the "_clients" folder, and was being linked to. Basically I just want to replicate this functionality so we can resume sending out links to our clients in this way.
Is this something I can do with the OS X Server app? Or do I need third-party software to accomplish this? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

For http links to work in this case you need a web server which can access those files and then 'serve' them via http. Such a URL would look something like
http://mywebsever.domain.com/_clients/cintas/example.mov
The web server could be the file server and this would make things easier but it could be logged in to the file server as a client itself.
If you simply add a folder or folders to the web server so it can share these to clients, you need to make sure no other files are in the same folders that you do not want to make available to other people. Either this means ensuring only the files you want are in those folders, or instead of sharing the folders themselves, you could make aliases, aka. 'shortcuts', aka. 'links' to the individual files and putting those aliases in the website folder.

That's a bit excessive. The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

How to configure send mail ?

Hi,
How to configure send mail ?
O/S is OEL-5.8 64-bit.
Thanks.

Sendmail uses the M4 macro processor to compile the configuration files. There is no GUI, if that is what you are looking for.
The configuration depends on what you want to accomplish and how email needs be routed in your environment.
You can find many tutorials and scenarios in Google:

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Mail, without the photos appearing within the email?s

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Apple Mail, without the photos appearing in the body of the email? If it can be done, it's not at all obvious, at least not to me. Thanks for any help you can provide.

The "View as icon" option shrinks the photo to an icon in the sender's Apple Mail, but how it appears to the recipient varies dependingy on what e-mail client he/she uses.
Using Apple Mail 5.0 (the Lion version) at both ends, the sender can use the "View as icon" option to shrink his view of the photo to an icon, but the recipient also using Apple Mail 5.0 still sees the full photo in line with the message text. The recipient can then use the "View as icon" option to shrink it to an icon, but I don't think that's not what jackofarabia is looking for.
As far as I know there is no way in the current Apple Mail to do what jackofarabia wants. There should be, but there isn't.

How to configure the Http sender adapter

Now i have look through the sap lib about the http sender adapter
and i know the url is
http://hostname:port/path?namespace=<...>
&interface=<...>&service=<...>&cmd=T&loaderXML=< message object >&end=yes
My questions are:
1)the path in the URL is "/sap/xi/adapter_plain", if not, what is it?
2)the message payload is right?
any reply is appreciated
Thank you very much

Hi Leo,
For a HHTP Scenario:
DESIGN:
1. Create DataTypes for source and Destinations. Create elements for all the text fields of your HTTP Client so that they can all be mapped into the destination file
2. Create MessageTypes for the two datatypes.
3. Create Message Interfaces. The One for HTTP is the sender, Asynchronous ( as no response is expected) and one for File is receiver, asynchronous.
4. Do the mapping. It will be mostly a one to one mapping of the fields.
5. Create the Interface Mapping.
Configuration:
1. Import your Business System under your Configuration Scenario.
2. Create 2 communication channels. One for Http as a sender and one for your receiver say IDoc.
Check these links for the configuration part.

3. Do the Receiver Agreement for Idoc. HTTP doesnt need a sender agreement.
4. DO the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination.

aimed at explaining the sync-async bridge.. Sriram has taken http-to-file scenario as the example
(use case) and explained it...

You should also have a HTTP client to send message to XI. In the connecting parameters to XI u have to use the URL in the pattern mentioned . U have to give all the configuration details in the URL.
If you give me your mail id or if you can mail me at [email protected], i can send you a HTTP CLIENT.....In which you need to view the source code and change the username and password to send message to XI.

Sender is HTTP.how to configure Sender communication Channelfor HTTP

More Information about Configuration of HTTP sender

Hi Sridhar,
The plain HTTP adapter gives application system the option of communicating with the Integration Engine and exchanging business data using a plain HTTP connection. Depending on the receiver system, outbound messages can be enhanced with certain information.
The plain HTTP adapter and IDOC adapter are the two which reside within the Integration Server (ABAP).
Therefore, you don't require a Sender Communication Channel for HTTP as well as IDOC adapters.
I hope this clarifies.

How do you send a link to a photo via skype?

I see people sending me links to images using skype, and I want to know how you do that. It is much more convient than just sending an attachment due to the long waiting time. It usually looks like:
"To view this shared photo, go to: https://api.asm.skype.com/s/"
and it goes on. How do you do this?

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
This is the new cloud photo sharing introduced on Skype for Windows Phone and iPhone so far. It's not requiring both sender and receiver to be online at the same time for the file transfer to commence. We are working to roll out this feature across Skype applications in the future so you will see it land on Android eventually as well.

Configuring Sender HTTPS Connection -- Server/Client Authentification

Hello together,
I need to configure an HTTPS Sender Connection with client and server authentication. I have already check the documentation however I am still not sure about the particular steps. My questions are as follows:
- Do I configure the HTTPS connection on the ABAP or JAVA stack?
- Is it necessary to setup an HTTP sender communication channel
- How does the URL look like (compared to HTTP connection)?
I have provided XI certificates to the client and the client has provided the certificates to me already. So I guess I have to import them somehow on XI.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you very much.

Hi
Please follow below steps for HTTPS configuration as sender
You need to use either SOAP adapter or XI Adapter for HTTPS connectivity.

No configuration is required in the adapter-specific sender channel configuration (inbound) of the Integration Directory.
The authentication/authorization is performed by the J2EE Engine and therefore needs to be configured with the Visual Administrator. This configuration is described in the J2EE Engine Administration Manual and is outlined in the following section.
When a message is to be sent to the Adapter Engine (and ultimately to the Integration Server), the J2EE Engine serves as the SSL Server and presents its server certificate to the client as part of the SSL handshake procedure.
Client-Side Configuration (Required)
The public certificate of the trusted authority (CA) that signed the public certificate of the SSL server needs to be imported to the list of trusted certificates of the SSL client. This allows the SSL client to accept the certificate of the server in the SSL handshake.
Server-Side Configuration (Optional)
If basic authentication is used, no additional configuration is required on server side.
If client certificate authentication is requested or required by selection of the corresponding option in the SSL service and configuration of the ClientCertLoginModule in the SecurityProvider service (using the J2EE Administration Tool), additional configuration steps are required.
If the server certificate check on the client side is successful, the client sends its public certificate to the server as part of the SSL handshake (when requested). The server needs to map the certificate to a user for authentication and will then check the authorization based on the security roles of the user.
Perform the following steps to allow the J2EE engine to map the client certificate to a user:
1. Import the CA cert of the client certificate to the list of trusted certificates (TrustedCAs keystore view in the keystore service) and import the client cert to an arbitrary keystore view.
2. Map the client certificate to an existing user with role SAP_XI_APPL_SERV_USER by using the Visual Administrator, SecurityProvider service, UserManagement tab page.
