Hi Guys,Currently I'm working for a small manufacturing company with about 20-25 end users. Most of the IT stuff is Excel Spreadsheets, Word Docs and a lot of emails - The emails being hosted externally. Our only real exception to this is myself and our Marketing / Graphic Design guy. He's usually working on large PSD's or AI files in the Adobe Suite whilstI am dealing with ISO's, software downloads and other bits and pieces.Our backup size has been increasing by rather a large amount in the past few days. I'm talking 2-3 GB per day which I wouldn't really expect from our company. I've usedWinDirStatandJAM Software TreeSizeto try and track the new files, but it's not proving easy.I've managed to find some large video files and delete those but still struggling with the extra 2-3GB per day. It's driving me slightly mental if I am being...

How to configure Mail software to store all related files on the network

I know that Mail software stores all files in Library/Mail under my home directory. Since I have a MacBook Air (with lesser disk space than other Macs), I'm trying to see if I can get the Mail software to read/write files to a network folder instead of Library/Mail. I have done the same with iPhoto in that it looks at the library file from the network and not the local disk. Any ideas of this can be done for the Mail software? Or if this is advisable?

you can do it but I'm not sure if it's advisable. You'd have to test and see how well it works. also, the network drive has to be mounted at all times when you are using Mail, otherwise Mail will crash.
quit Mail. Mount the remote volume. copy the directory homedirectory/Library/Mail to the remote volume and trash the original.
then open terminal and do the following.
type
ln -s
do not press enter yet. press space and drag the copied directory from the remote volume to the terminal window. press space again and type
~/Library
the result should look something like this
ln -s /Volumes/remote-drivename/Mail ~/Library
Press enter in terminal. This will create a symbolic link (it will look like an alias in Finder) to the new location of the Mail folder. Now when you start Mail it should behave normally. In case of problems, quit Mail, delete the symbolic link and move the folder back.

Backing up/moving files to the network?

I had been using my laptop for all itunes purchases, but I've been getting addicted to the Itunes TV show section, which is dangerous when you've only got 160 gigs of space in the form of 2 80 gig drives. It just doesn't feel right to delete stuff that I've actually paid for to make room for new shows, so I really need to try something new.
There's entirely too much data for me to back up to CDs or DVDs. I've got - drumroll please - over 120 gigs of pure itunes music and video. 50 gigs on one drive, 70 gigs on he other.
To get to the point, I'm on a network, and I want to move or backup everything to the server. I tried something like that before and ended up with a completely invalidated library in which none of the files would play (I had to get a support representtive to resupply my purchases to get them back). I couldn't find any information about transferring files over the network, and I'm scared to just do a simple "copy and paste" because I might end up with the same situation I had before.
Can anyone help?

I was able to move a file of text from hard drive to network drive. Still cannot move the music though.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Streaming audio file over the network w JMF. How to know when the file end

Hi
I am streaming audio file over the network using JMF. I want to be able to know when a file end so I can close the streaming session.
Can some one please help
Thanks

If you put a ControllerListener on the Processor that's associated with generating the RTP stream, it'll generate an "EndOfMedia" event when the end of the file is reached.

WIFI dies when transferring big files over the network

Hi, I have Dell Inspiron 1520 with ipw3945 driver, when I transfer big files over the network, my wifi dies, anybody knows what could it be? If you need additional information, feel free to ask...
Thanks in advance

I guess we shall see. I can't imagine we are the only 7 with these issues. Mine is mainly just lag... and overall slowness. I hope to work through this. If it lasts much longer I will have to revert back all 3 of my lappies to FC which I really do not want to do. But on the lappies i connect via wireless 90% of the time and need it to work.
By the way how are you guys configuring your wifi? I am using the iwl drivers and wicd.
Well I did some more testing and loaded up netcfg and still get the same results so that rules out that part. I also did some packet captures and I am getting a bunch of tcp retransmissions followed by tcp segment lost followed by a reset which in turn kills my rdp session (remote desktop protocol). I also went back several versions of the uucode driver and still get the same reults so I guess it seems to be a kernel issue. Back to FC I go. Damn shame...

Adding a new switch to the network....configuring internet access

Hey guys i need some help!
I am trying to set up my first switch. I am using the catalyst 2950 for learning on.
The network im on right now (the one with internet) has the following settings.
10.22.227.???
255.255.255.0
10.28.43.254
The one i am learning on i connect to it by going to 192.168.0.1 this will allow me into it using the Cisco Network Assistant.
I have a laptop on port 1 using Vlan1 and i have Desktop on port 24 with vlan 1 and i have a cable from our 10.22.227 network pluged into port 23
I am able to see the computers and i can share files on it. What i dont understand being a noob is why i dont have any internet on ether computer.
I have setup up port 23 as a switch.
It seams like to me i would have to give the switch a ip address a subnet mask a default gatway and a dns of the 10.22.227 network on port 23.
Can some one throw some light on the subject and point me in a good direction?

@de fl
If i go to a computer on the 10. network i can ping and go out and do everything i need to.
But if i try and ping with in the new switch (192) it does not work. I have added an ip address and a default gateway I have added a screen show on how our network is set up.
To me i think i need to add a ip address subnet mask and default gateway to the switch for the new switch to work.

I'm trying to write an Applescript: when I add a file to a folder, I want finder to name it "1" and increment the other files in the folder by 1. i.e. once I drop a new file into the folder, the file originally called "1" will be renamed "2" etc

I'm trying to write an Applescript. I have never used Applescript but my boss has just asked me to write a script so I dutifully nodded and said "Yes Boss"...
The funtionality I need is that I want finder to rename the files in folder when I drop a new file in. When I add the new file (file neame: "1") to a folder, I want to increment the other file names in the folder by 1.
So when I drop a my new "1" file into the folder, the file original file called "1" will be renamed "2", the original file named "2" will be renamed "3" etc
I'm creating a 'stream' of images. When I add a new image i want it to nudge the other images in the folder along.
Thanks guys!

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

Accessing a file over the network

Hi ,
I need to access a file for read/write operations. The file may exist or may not on another computer in my network. I use the File class for accessing the file. (File f = new File("\\192.23.23.23\file.txt");
My problem is how can I know if I cannot access the file because I have network issues (e.g. The file exists but the network is down so its not accessible) or because the file really dont exist on the given address.
Since File operations does not throw a specific exception Its hard to know the exact reason for access failure.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Any suggestions ?Here's a complete hack that only uses File that is completely coupled to Windows and the "\\hostname\dir\file..." syntax. This is not a universal solution and strongly urge you not to use it:
public class NetworkFileTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      File file = new File("\\\\myhostname\\tmp\\filethatexists");
      if ( file.exists() ) {
         System.out.println("File exists");
      } else {
         if ( hasPathToHost(file) ) {
            System.out.println("File doesn't exist");
         } else {
            System.out.println("No path to host");
   private static boolean hasPathToHost(File file) {
      if ( file.exists() ) {
         return true;
      } else {
         file = file.getParentFile();
         if ( file != null ) {
            return hasPathToHost(file);
         } else {
            return false;
}This just recursively checks the parent to see if it exists. Once it gets up to the host "directory," it will return false if the network is down, or true otherwise.
Remember that there's absolutely no way to check if a remote file exists if the network is down, short of carrier pigeons. This will just tell you if the file might exist.

Accessing files within the Network

Hi
I have problem with file sharing. Within the network I have a PC with windows Vista. It has file sharing on. But it is not showing any files in my MAC. Can anyone tell me how to change the settings in my MAC to access files from my PC within the network.

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply.
Just to give to some background info. The java class is called from a package that is owned by the same schema. The schema owner is part of the dba_role and connect_role.
The network drive on the windows 2000 serveris mapped by the domain administrator account.
We have given permissions to the schema owner to access the mapped drive thru java.
What the java script does is fill a string array with the name of each file in the directory. The script and error messages are below.
I have a feeling that the schema account does not have windows 2000 permissions to access network resources, but it is just a hunch.

Trouble sending files over the network.

I have a network application that corrupts any files that it sends, although the received file is very close (but never exact) to the number of bytes it should be. There is a socket client that each client has, and the Packet data structure is searializable and simply contains a string message and the byte[]. Am I doing something wrong?
Here is my code for Sending:
ObjectOutputStream toOtherClient = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
ObjectInputStream fromOtherClient = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
Packet fileRequest = (Packet)fromOtherClient.readObject();
File file = new File(DefaultConfig.defaultFileDirectory+"\\"+fileRequest.getMessage());
FileInputStream fromDisk = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream fromDiskBuffered = new BufferedInputStream(fromDisk);
byte[] buffer = new byte[maxPayload];
while(fromDiskBuffered.available() > 0)
     if (fromDisk.available() > maxPayload)
          fromDiskBuffered.read(buffer);
          toOtherClient.writeObject(new Packet(Packet.Command.File,"",buffer));
     else
          buffer = new byte[fromDiskBuffered.available()];
          fromDiskBuffered.read(buffer);
          toOtherClient.writeObject(new Packet(Packet.Command.File,"",buffer));
fromDiskBuffered.close();
fromDisk.close();
toOtherClient.writeObject(new Packet(Packet.Command.File,"ack"));
fromOtherClient.close();
toOtherClient.close();
client.close();Here is my code for recieving:
Socket client = new Socket(host, Integer.parseInt(port));
ObjectOutputStream toOtherClient = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
ObjectInputStream fromOtherClient = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream toDisk = new FileOutputStream(DefaultConfig.defaultFileDirectory+"//"+whatFile); BufferedOutputStream toDiskBuffered = new BufferedOutputStream(toDisk);
toOtherClient.writeObject(new Packet(Packet.Command.File,whatFile));
Packet incoming;
while(true)
     incoming = (Packet)fromOtherClient.readObject();
     if (incoming.getMessage().equals("ack"))
          break;
     byte[] fileData = (byte[])incoming.getData();
     toDiskBuffered.write(fileData);
toDiskBuffered.flush();
toDiskBuffered.close();
toDisk.close();
fromOtherClient.close();
toOtherClient.close();
client.close();

You're assuming that available() gives you the total length of the file, which it doesn't, and you're ignoring the result returned by the read call, so you're assuming you've read data you may not have read.
I would rethink the tactic of reading the entire file into a single buffer - this doesn't scale. It's only safe if you know that the file size has an upper bound and that this is relatively low.
