Is it possible to create a local zip file then upload it to server?

Hi
I'm developing a Flex app where I need to allow users to upload a potentially large number of text files, and it makes sense to zip them all up before uploading.  I don't want to force users to have manually zip the files first but I'm guessing there are security features that prevent me doing it the preferred way.  Is that the case or does anyone have any alternative suggestions to accomplish the same task?
Thanks

Thanks Zombiecook
I've done very little server side scripting but wouldn't the ability for server side PHP to create zips on a local hard drive be a massive security flaw?
Googling suggests compress & upload within Flex has been requested for years so I'm surprised there's no automatic support for it yet.  I'd much rather develop in Flex but the lack of this single feature may mean that I have no choice but to opt for Silverlight instead, which is a bit frustrating.

  • How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

    How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs?  Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community?  The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable..  I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Sherrie L,
    Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
    There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.

  • Is it possible to create materialized view log file for force refresh

    Is it possible to create materialized view log file for force refresh with join condition.
    Say for example:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW VU1
    REFRESH FORCE
    ON DEMAND
    AS
    SELECT e.employee_id, d.department_id from emp e and departments d
    where e.department_id = d.department_id;
    how can we create log file using 2 tables?
    Also am copying M.View result to new table. Is it possible to have the same values into the new table once the m.view get refreshed?

    You cannot create a record as a materialized view within the Application Designer.
    But there is workaround.
    Create the record as a table within the Application Designer. Don't build it.
    Inside your database, create the materialized with same name and columns as the record created previously.
    After that, you'll be able to work on that record as for all other within the Peoplesoft tools.
    But keep in mind do never build that object, that'll drop your materialized view and create a table instead.
    Same problem exists for partitioned tables, for function based-indexes and some other objects database vendor dependant. Same workaround is used.

  • Creating a flat .zip file on a MAC

    Can someone please tell me how to create a flat zip file using my MAC. I control-click the files and choose compress and it puts them in a folder. Basically, I want to know how to select many photos and compress all of them into a zip file but then when one clicks on the zip file to open it it DOES NOT open another folder with the pictures in them, but rather just opens the pictures. PowerSchool only accepts flat zips.
    Thanks!

    You might try using a different utility. Or download the utility iTweaX - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Open and click on the Misc tab of the Tweaks menubar item. At the bottom click on the button labeled "Archives." This will install a new System Preferences item from which you can alter the behavior of the built-in Zip utility.

  • How to create a split zip file?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to create a split zip file using only Java?
    Lets say I have a file that compressed has a size of 10MB and I need to split it into small files of 1MB each... and then be able to open and uncompress it using winzip or any other compressing tool.
    I know how to create a zip file using java.util.zip but I cannot split it...
    Thanks,

    Can anyone help me? Does anyone know if Java API java.util.zip can split a zip file?I'm 99.9 % sure that there is nothing in the Java ZIP APIs to do this but I'm 100% sure I can't be certain.

  • Making a zip file to upload images to PBASE

    I do have Mobile Me, but need to upload 200 images to PBase. I've tried this before and had problems. Can I create a zip file from Iphoto? or a .tar (don't know this type) If so, please tell me how. Thanks.

    First, have you tried iPhoto2PBase?
    http://newwavedigitalmedia.com/iPhoto2PBase.htm
    Second, if that is not acceptable, my guess is that you would have to do it in a two step process where you export the photos you want in pbase to your desktop (or where ever) then zip up those photos into a file to upload.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal - in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • VB API EsbImport() does not create a local error file

    Hi,
    According to the documentation, if i specify a message string for errors a file will be created locally whenever there is a loading error (like a missinf membr in Essbase).
    Does any one have experience with that? my program works but a file is not being created when a member is missing.
    in the EsbInit i used the ARBORPATH environemtn variable as the client path
    in the EsbImport i used "ImportErrors.txt"
    Any help will be appreicated
    Thanks
    Kobi
    the init structure is:
    With oInit
    .Version = ESB_API_VERSION
    .LocalPath = GetEnvironemtnVar("ARBORPATH")
    .MessageFile = ""
    .HelpFile = String$(ESB_PATHLEN, vbNullChar)
    .MaxHandles = 10
    .ClientError = ESB_TRUE ' Use EsbGetMessage to retrieve messages
    .ErrorStack = 100
    End With
    the import relevant part is
    strErrorName = "ImportErrors.txt"
    AbortOnError = ESB_YES ' Abort on the first error
    ' import
    sts = EsbImport(hCtx, T_Rules, T_Data, T_User, strErrorName, AbortOnError)

    I don't believe it is supported yet. It wasn't even supported for the last OS.

  • Need a Way to Create a Local Group Push via GPO on Windows Server 2003 DC

    Since DCs do not have local groups - what OS are your member servers and
    clients running? If 2003/XP: Install KB943729
    You need _one_ computer running Vista/2008 or higher to edit your GPO.

  • DPS App Builder - Can't create ipa or zip files

    Hello,
    I'm following this guide : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ppcompdoc/Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf
    But I'm stack on page 55 between number 6 and 7.
    The program download my files, and change for this message (FR sorry) :
    So it look like it finnishs to download successfully and I think try to compute files.
    But quickly, I get this error (where I'm currently stack) :
    If I try to translate it, it should be somethink like :
    -> Not enough ressources for the "sheet" (?) of thisapplication. To fix it, delete the "sheet" and create a new one in the Folio Builder Panel, and then try to rebuild your application.
    I spend half day to fix links and update all the project as I was guessing this error will be a wrong indesign file link.
    I can also try to recreate an application, but the error message is (for me) more that you don't know what to do and do not want to lost another half (or full) day just to pop the same error message.
    I was already make kind of the same app on a friend account and do not show this error, so if someone already seen it or know how to fix it, it will be really nice.
    In the wait time, I start to rebuild all the app from start and let you know if something change.
    Thank you.

    Sorry, look like my post number 4 was for my second thread.
    Anyway I fix it by log out Folio Builder in Indesign and log in again.
    BUT I'm still stack on the picture on main post.
    AND it is for sure with my new app, made from start, add page per page.
    On this new app, the Adobe Content Viewer works fine on Desktop and iPad 3.
    To help a bit, I make a Google translate of the massage :
    Resources are insufficient for the sheet of this application. To solve this problem, remove the sheet and create a new one using the Folio Builder panel, and try to rebuild your application.
    As I now understand, it is maybe just one indesign file to doesn't works, but which one ?
    And my book is a translation of an other one (my first one) that work perfectly without trouble. I just change some page as it was French specific.
    If someone can help me and save my deadline
    So desesperate.
    Thank you for reading.

  • Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
    I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.

  • Is it possible to create a cisco config file based on a polycom config file?

    Hello,
    We have 12 spa509g phones that are barely working with our provider (voxox).
    My provider gave me the config files that are used to set up polycom phones as those are the only phones they support.
    Features that currently work: incoming calls, outgoing calls, blind transfer, voicemail, call hold
    Features that do not work: call presence - solid orange lights, attended transfer, paging 
    I've upgraded the firmware to 7.5.6 and configured the phone through the GUI as much as i can but I can't seem to enable the above features.
    Any help would be highly appreciated as I'm about to buy polycom phones if we can't figure the configuration out.
    Attached are the configuration files from voxox concerning polycom phones. confidential data says "removed"
    If anyone thinks that this is possible, I can send a copy of my current cisco configuration file. 
    Thanks,
    Philip

    Well, I have no polycom phone, not I have personal experience with voxox. I wish the following document may help a lot - it describe Polycom configuration somewhat. As you have no Polycom, you have no current <mac>-directory.xml. So you don't know the device name you should subscribe to. But it seems to be a DID-number.
    Just try it.
    On the other side, ask Voxox for help. Don't ask for configuration files, ask for configuration instructions expressed in terms of the SIP protocols. Consider switch to more friendly and technically skilled VoIP operator if they will not understand what the SIP stand for ...
    By the way, wrong forum. Your issue has nothing to do with XML Phone Application interface. I'm not sure someone will respond you here.
