INDD files on Http or FTP

We have a NAS storage device that hosts files using http protocol.
When we upload .indd files to the server, and try to download them using http or ftp protocols, the browser freaks out and doesnt know what to do with them.
Is this a known issue?  Should we be zipping them up and uploading them?
Any help is appreciated.

Nevermind, Http is the problem, not FTP.

  • Retreiving files over http or ftp.

    I was wondering what program I should use to retreive files over http or ftp. Previously I had used wget per my hosting provider's recommendation. It worked when I was ssh logged in to his server (via Mac Terminal). However, when I try using wget on my local Mac it says "command not found".

    Thanks. So if I specify a file name (-o /path/to/file), does the incoming file get renamed to that (and put in that location) or does this specify the directory (-o /path/to/directory) that the incoming file will go to? I wasn't quite clear on that.
    Also, I keep hearing about stdout. What is it exactly? I assumed it was just the Terminal window itself, the alternative being things like | more or | nano or something like that... Or am I totally up the wrong tree?

  • Can SSIS be used to pick up files dynamically from an FTP folder?

    I get 4 files dumped into an FTP folder each day.  Each comes in with a date, in this format: '20140320' & the filename, which is always the same convention for these four files.  Can I run SSIS on a daily basis, like at 9AM, to scan through
    the files in the folder, and import the ones that were dropped in today (today's files always have yesterday's date).
    Thanks!!
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hi,
    You can check the below Link.
    http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2011/08/foreach-ftp-file-enumerator.html
    Also I would suggest create 4 ftp tasks for each files and define 4 expressions based on the expression below. Give then each file name
    with the expression that is defined.
    “Filename#####1” + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2)
    + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".csv"
    “Filename#####2” + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2)
    + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".csv"
    “Filename#####3” + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2)
    + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".csv"
    “Filename#####4” + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2)
    + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + ".csv"
    Or whatever the file format is, I selected .csv

  • Is there a way to name the .indd files created by a data merge with values in the CSV file

    I have a data merge document that is set to single Record per Document page and 1 page per document.  In my CSV file I have a field for Part Number.  If I run a data merge with 10 records I end up with 10 .indd files.  I need a way so that the resulting .indd files are named the same value that is in the Part Number field.

    Loic has provided a link for my original piece, and I've written up some follow-up pieces for indesignsecrets.com:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/data-merging-individual-records-separate-pdfs.php
    http://indesignsecrets.com/data-merging-individual-records-separate-pdfs-part-2-scripting. php
    So there are several ways to get unique name PDFs from an indesign Data Merge. However, none of these 3 articles will truly answer your question of how to get unique indesign filenames using the database. I can see a practical purpose for this as merging business cards directly to PDFs is great, but I can be guaranteed that while on proof, there will be alts to the business cards that need to be done outside the merge, meaning specific records need to be exported to indesign files for further manipulation.

  • Post file over Http

    Hi All,
    I am working on EDI scenario in which EDI partner has given one HTTP site address with user name and password.  I will have to put EDI file at that site using http/soap adaptors at receiver end.
    One thing I know for sure that I can not use File channel at reveiver side as there is no FTP available. Now Can anybody please let me know how to generate file using http connection?
    I have absolutely no idea how to use http and soap adaptors so if any links to the blogs will also be helpful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Atul

    Hi Aamir,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I just want to generate a file at given location. I am confused what is the difference in data sent as a payload or as attachment?
    As you said in case of attachement we need to use some modules(Looks bit difficult ) I would perhaps like to generate file by using Payload .
    Can you suggest some blog for the same?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Flat file over HTTP or SOAP

    Hey Guys,
    I need to post a Flat file over HTTP (or SOAP), is this possible without developing my own Adapter module?
    I just need to get a Flat file from a FTP server and post to another server via HTTP,since there is no message mapping involved, i developed the scenario without any Integration Repository objects, it is just a pass-through scenario.
    Now i am stuck on the receiver side since i am unable to post Flat file over HTTP.
    Secondly i have Login URL, Logout URL and upload URL from the receiver system, i don't see any place in receiver HTTP adapter to put all these 3 URL's, can i use SOAP adapter to put all these URL anywhere?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

    I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
    When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"  If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
    I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
    I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
    Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
    What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
    Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
    [Edit]
    Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
    I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

  • File adapter processing in FTP mode

    Hello SDN,
    I need some info on File adapter working in FTP mode.
    What happens when we point to a remote file location that runs on FTP server?
    FTP in standard does not support a remote read operation at all. So the only possible logic that strikes me is issue a FTP get command over the file and get the file locally, read it. Does it happen this way? Or SAP has customised FTP to enable the read operation from a remote location directly?

    Hi Jai,

  • Why will .indd file not open in id CC?

    I have chapter .indd files from a production group. The Links folders are in the same file folder. I get file type not supported, missing plugin, or file open in other app when I try to load the id chapter files. Any suggestions?

    Are you sure about all the file types?
    And you are using the current version of InDesign CC, version 9.1.0?
    There is a script by Jongware you could use to identify the version of an InDesign file:
    IDentify.jsx
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273#4071273
    You can run it from InDesign and check the file from the production group…
    Maybe it was gone corrupt in transfer to you?
    Did you recieve a zip archive with all the files and folders?
    (That would minimize the possibility of corruption)

  • Open multiple .indd files

    Hello,
    usually when I have to ask for opening a single .indd file I use something like this:
    fileToOpen = File.openDialog("Open a document");
    myDocument = app.open(File(fileToOpen.fullName));
    But what if I have to open multiple files at once (eg. selecting them from the Desktop)?
    I read from the Indesign object model that the "open" function of the "application" object can accept an array of files.. am I right?
    Thanks in advance

    @lglmrc – the openDialog() method comes with another argument for opening multiple files. That argument is set to "false" by default.
    Setting it to "true" is the key here:
    var FilesToOpen = File.openDialog("Open one or more documents", true);
    for(var n=0;n<FilesToOpen.length;n++){
        app.open(FilesToOpen[n]);
    Alternatively there is the openDlg() method, that also comes with the second argument.
    See also:
    http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js/pc_File.html#openDialog
    File openDialog (prompt: string[, filter: any=null][, multiSelect: bool=false])
    Opens a dialog so the user can select one or more files to open.
    Opens the built-in platform-specific file-browsing dialog in which a user can select an existing file or multiple files, and creates new File objects to represent the selected files.
    • If the user clicks OK, returns a File object for the selected file, or an array of objects if multiple files are selected.
    • If the user cancels, returns null.

  • Sharing .indd files online

    Is it possible to share an .indd file that would allow someone to make and save edits online?  I basically want to be able to collaborate without having to screen share or package and email the file back and forth -- i just want the file to "live" in a space where my editor and I can both access and work on it, so we know we are always in the most current version.
    I hope what I'm asking makes sense, and what I am looking for exists!

    Well, I was not aloud to upoad the screenshot, but here is a link to an indd file that shows what I'm getting:

    It just ocured to me that I might have to share the file with you, pleaselet me know, and I will.
    I've tried uploading other indd files and am having the same issue.

  • InDesign CS 5.5 crashes when opening certain .indd file

    Hi guys our designer reported this issue and I believe it is likely an issue with the .indd file.
    File is found below:
    https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B76oDngKUDCFc25lSEhsZF9EVFU
    Windows 7 64 bit InDesign 7.5.2 CS 5.5. From our tests the file opens, but once we clicked on the file, InDesign crashes 'the following program has stopped working...'. Other .indd files seem to open fine, and this also occurs on our other workstation which is a Mac OS X 10.5 (same InDesign version)
    Would appreciate any assistance/recovery options, as the file is inaccessible to us.

    Won't even open here.
    If you can get it to pen, try exporting to .idml. See Remove minor corruption by exporting
    I don't think it will fix it, but it's less expensive than rebuilding or the Markzware recovery service (Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form) so it's worth a try.

  • *.indd file extension issue - InDesignCC 2014 - Windows 7

  • Why won't InDesign open its own .indd file on iMac?

    I have InDesign CS5.5 on an iMac OS 10.7.5 - I created an .indd file about a month ago on this machine, using this version of InDesign.  This machine is not networked, the file has no links in it, no images and is only 1.3MB in size. 
    InDesign won't open the file and this is the message I get when I try to open it:
    "Cannot open the file "odes_PRINT.indd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, o the file may be open in another application."
    No other programs were open,the file was not open in another application and presumably, InDesign ought to support its own file format and not require special plugins to do so. No one but me has been in that file.
    I've tried restarting the program and the machine, deleting and replacing preferences and renaming the file.  It seems like this happened to me once before a few years ago with an earlier version and I believe I had to scrap that indd file.  I could rebuild this file as it's just all text, not that big and I have the text in a plain text file BUT I want to know why this happens and what to do about it. I make large files for clients, this is a small client file that I can easily rebuild but some I can't and can't afford to have this happen again.
    I've been googling this problem all evening and I'm out of ideas - anyone else got any?

    Try my script in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429 -- it will tell you if it's an InDesign file or not.
    If it tells you it is, the file must be internally damaged beyond repair. (And then you've lost it. Yes, it happens.)
    If it tells you it is not, then ... well, then it is not a native InDesign file. At that point you need to retrace your steps: what did you do when you thought you were "saving" it? (As it is, in fact, impossible to use "save" in InDesign and not save 'as' an InDesign file.) What other file type could you have used? Do you ever manually or automatically rename files?
    Needless to say, if it is no longer an InDesign file (never mind what the file extension says), then you cannot open it in InDesign anyway. But if you know what type of file it is, you can open it with the appropriate software (e.g. a JPEG viewer or an RTF reader) and see what's in it.
