Moving InDesign packages to client via web - best way?

I have some InDesign packages that I need to pass to my client on a regular basis. They're pretty big at about 5gb each. My client will also be passing me files before I work on them.
I've Googled 'move big files mac' and I get a lot of options.
http://www.sendbigfiles.com/
http://www.yousendit.com/
http://www.uploadbigfiles.net/
http://www.filedropper.com/
It seems there are a few ways of doing this. Some are just dropping one file (in this case I think I'd have to ZIP), getting a link, emailing the link to the client, and them downloading the ZIP from the link.
Others are more structured and would allow me to have different folders for different clients. That sounds like an FTP site and use something like Transmit. I've got the demo of Transmit, but wouldn't know how to setup an FTP site. I've used FTP sites with employers before.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way forward? Free and fast and easy would put a smile on my face, too.
Many thanks.

What sort of Internet connection are you planning to send these files over? If you have a leased line or something snazzy like SDSL, you can upload 5GB as fast as you could download it, but ADSL and cable are highly asymmetrical -- roughly one tenth the speed going upstream as down, so if you have 8Mbits per sec download, you'd be doing very well to get 1Mb per sec uploads. Quick calculation suggests it would take you over 11 hours to send each file. (Don't forget the speed is bits per sec and the file size is in bytes, if you're checking the arithmetic.) That's making some very optimistic assumptions. I'd be inclined to put a couple of DVDs in the post instead.
But if you do want to use the Internet and have a fast upstream connection, first see if you can persuade the client to set up the FTP server. Publishers do that routinely, for example. As other people have said, setting up your own Mac as an FTP server is trivial: System Preferences>Sharing, turn on file sharing, click options, choose FTP and set up a guest account. I can't advise it though, because FTP is inherently insecure. Setting up an SFTP server on the other hand is no joke unless you have done a bit of sys admin and understand about SSL and all that.
You should probably use one of the services people have mentioned instead, therefore. Perhaps this MobileMe thing of Apple's could handle it? I've never tried the service, but iDisk is thoroughly integrated with the system, so it would probably be the easiest to use.

Access-SQL Server (Client Server Configuration) Best Way To Refresh SQL Server Records ?

We are using Access 2013 as the front end and SQL Server 2014 as the back end to a client server configuration.
Access controls are bound to the SQL fields with the same names. When using Access to create a new record in a Form, the data are not transferred to SQL if the form is exited to display a different Form or Access is closed. If the right or left arrow navigation
buttons at the bottom of the form are first used to display either the previous or next record, then the data in the new record are correctly transferred to SQL.
What is the best way to refresh the new SQL record prior to the closing of the new record in the bound Access form ? We have tried Requery of the entire form and with all of the individual controls without success. We are looking for a method of refreshing
SQL that functions in a manner similar to that of what happens with the navigation buttons.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hi Stefan,
I had added the code to set me.dirty = False in response to the On Dirty event and didn't realize that it was working properly. I had tried other several approaches and must have become confused somewhere along the line.
I retested the program. On Dirty is working and the problem is solved.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

How to install packages on client via VPN

Hello
I have a number of users that use laptops and mostly connect to the office network via an OSX VPN Server. I can see when they connect, copy files to them and control their screens.
I do not seem to be able to install packages to them. The ARD console goes through the motions but the package never gets to the remote end and is never installed.
Can anyone shed any light on this? From what I can tell this may be a multicast issue - if this is true how can I get the VPN server to route the multicast traffic, or alternatively how can I stop ARD from using multicast for these clients?
Any help appreciated. If I can not use the package installation system it will make managing these users quite difficult.
Kind regards
Jason

Hi Jason,
Have you found anything else that can't be done or is acting strangely using ARD with those connecting via VPN? Another question that comes to mind is the up and down speed of both your office's connection to the net and that of the clients connecting in. You said that you can copy files to them--does that work with large files as well? Have you tried copying the install package rather than installing it to see if that works?
I ask all of this because I've found in my support role with VPN clients, that viewing/controlling the screen, copying small files, chats, and alerts all work fine. But a large install package? I don't even bother. Sure, it works locally, but the upload speed of the company's internet connection isn't fast enough to do large copies or installs remotely. (Which is why I'm wondering about copying a large file.) I usually get a "Communication Error".

Moving to new from old (dead) MacPro-best way to xfer programs

I see two options-
Either boot from the new disk, and use Migration Assistant to move programs from my old boot HD installed in another bay. Will this work? Will Migration Assistant see the other internal MacPro HD's. And how do I assure that the MacPro will boot from my new boot disk, rather than trying to boot from the old one?
Second possibility-take out the new boot disk, and put my old MacPro boot disk (with up to date ML installed) in bay 1, and put the new MacPro boot disk in another bay. Will the MacPro preferentially boot from a boot image in bay 1 over the other bays? Then I and use Carbon Copy to make a clone of my old (slower/smaller) HD on the new bigger/faster one. Then install that in bay 1.
Will either (or both) of these techniques work? I would think the first is preferable if it will work since it will give me a clean OS install.
I am trying to avoid reinstalling my applications if possible...

Clone so you have a backup.
Use Migration Assistant.
A clean OS is ideal.
A new Mac can sometimes have an OS build that is later than that publiclly available.
As long as you keep a copy of the working system and leave it untouched, you are fine.
Move all the non system data off to another drive too.
Consider a Samsung 840 120 or 240GB SSD for the system.
No reinstall whether you use CCC or MA as long as they are compatible.
You realize you never mention the model of this new Mac Pro?

Best way to Export/Import Workspace/Applications

Hello Gurus,
I am moving servers and wanted to know the best way to Move Workspaces/applications.
I am on 10G R2 and Application Express 3.0.1.
I have created a database on the new server.
Installed http server. Installed Application Express.
I can get into application express using the admin password.
On the database side I have 3 tablespaces and 3 Oracle schemas.
On the Application Express side I have 3 workspaces that are linked to
the 3 Oracle Schemas.
I imported (Oracles Import) one of the Schemas.
If I get into Application Express and try to import the Workspace it gives
me an error'Workspace will not be created because it already exists.'
Will importing a workspace import all the applications in the workspace.
Dhiren

Did you export the workspace to a file and then try to import it when you got that message? What is the name of the workspace? I don't know why you would get that error in a newly installed Application Express unless you tried to manually create a workspace with that name somehow before you tried the import.
Anyway, you might want to re-install and start over by (1) exporting each workspace to a file, (2) importing each workspace from those files into the new instance, and (3) do the same export/import cycle for each application from old to new instances, for each workspace. Workspace export/import does not include applications or anything except the workspace name, the schema list, and the user accounts. You may want to export/import css, static files, images, UI defaults, and themes too, if you want to carry those over.

InDesign / Best way to export for Web?

Hi guys,
I did an A2 (large size) poster and now i need to have the very same image for Web Mailing on Internet. I guess it will be a 650 pixeles by 800 px.
Which is the best way to export this content for Internet?
1) I notice that if i save the InDesign file to PDF even in the lowest quality the small text keeps crisp and clear while the file is very small size. Unfortunately PDF cannot be used -i think- as embedded images into a mailing list.
2) If i export the very same InDesign file at the highest posible resolution as JPG -a traditional Internet image standard- the text is blurred and not well defined, besides the file is quite large.
3) Should i exported to PDF and then open in Photoshop and "Save for the Web" as JPG? Maybe Photoshop has a better exporting engine when regarding to images than InDesign...i don't know.
How can i find a way to have well defined crisp and clear text, small size and image? I am not sure i could use PDF format here.
Any help or ideas? that would be great
Thanks,
S

Thanks for the tip!
I am sorry i forgot to say i have an A2 and an A3 size poster version. I used the A3 poster and the 650 pixeles poster for Internet actually turn out to be quite readable. I used quite large fonts size in the original design, a bit of a Swiss or Constructivism style poster.

Generating file via web service and store it on client's hard disc

Hello!
First of all I want to see that i am a beginner concerning Web Dynpro.
In the last weeks I made a lot of steps but now i am stuck with a problem, i didn't find a helpful solution for.
I want to create a textfile dynamically via web serivce. That works fine.
Now I am looking for a solution to write this file on client hd.
Is there a possibility to use simply the Java "File" class and give the path name or do I have to use the wd download ui?
For the downloadUI I only found examples concerning Files in MIME but i don't know what to do if my file is dynamically created during runtime and not stored on any hard disc.
I would be grateful if you could get me some hints to find the right way.

Hi
FileDownload UI is what you should be using!
Bind the 'resource' property of the FileDownload UI element to a context attribute (say with name SomeFile) of type
com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource
in local dictionary. Insert the following piece of code where the file content is dynamically being generated.
Byte[] dynamicFileConent = yourFileContentGenerateMethod(); // your logic
IWDResource resource =
WDResourceFactory.createResource(dynamicFileConent ,"FILE_NAME.TXT",WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSomeFile(resource); // SomeFile is the name of the Context Attribute

Adobe InDesign Package Report via AS

To create an "Adobe InDesign Package Report" manually, it is done via "File > Package > Report…" and generates a document summary similar to what is produced in packaging, but with more data.
I am struggling with creating this text doc via scripting. This is part of a multi-app process, so I'd prefer AppleScript, but I am having no luck in the dictionary. Neither package nor save report seem to produce the same document as the manual process. Does anyone have any hints for me on how to achieve this without resorting to System Events? Thanks in advance.

I did install the previous font x version 2.3 and then updated it to 2.6 i think it is. Because the previous version did not have indesign 3.5.1 (CC).
After the install the plugin option was there for CC 3.5.1
I will contact font explorer in the morning to find out more. This is a new laptop with fresh install of indesign CC and font manager.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers

NW Business Client and accessing SAP services via web pages

Hi all,
We currently use Business Connector to access our SAP environment via web pages. We looked at NW eSOA but decided against implementing it. Does Business Client offer anything that helps access SAP apps and data from a custom web site better the Business Connector?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom
I am assuming you are using SAP Business Connector in your landscape to connect to back end SAP systems from your web applications. Your question now is that if business client can let you access SAP data for your web pages instead of the business connector. Point to not here is that Business client, as the name implies, is just a client with single point of access for SAP screens. That means, you can access traditional SAP transactions, WebDynpro screens, BSP pages, Portal screens etc in one single client. In very raw terms, Business client acts (or replaces) as your browser. It is not going to provide you any out of the box integration with backend system rather just act as a window. You options at this point are
1) Use your existing webpages but instead of getting data from the backend system through business connector, get the data using webservices.
2) Use PI as middleware tool and get the data from backend SAP system
3) Stay were you are but deal with high cost of ownership.
Thanks

(1) In your system there are 3 nodes. The first one is the web

Your web server is a server to the web client but also a client
to your Oracle database server. From the web client browser you
cannot communicate directly with the Oracle server directly

Invoking Powershell modules on remote clients via package/command line

Hello Everyone -
I have two modules(functions) that i've written and tested successfully locally in my environment that give me Uninstall and Repair functionality on whatever the string contains. Both .psm1's are delivered via a SCCM pkg that lands both into folders
in the Modules directory. My issue is I can't seem to invoke this in a deployment scenario...as i'd like to deliver the "Invoke-command" using SCCM's command line to simply say...
Invoke-Command -scriptblock { Do-This "<string>" }
The above command works fine locally when...(exePol is set to Bypass).
1.)Modules have respective folders living in WindowsPowershell\Modules directory named xxxx.psm1
2.)Import-Module -name <path\name of module>
3.)Verify Modules are loaded(moduleType is script)
But when fabricating the folders\files above with SCCM, and running the Invoke-Command(in many different ways remotely), i recieve the cmdlet, program doesn't exist and has no idea what i'm talking about. Folders\Files for .psm1's are present and do
show when running Get-Module -Listavailable locally on targeted clients.
Maybe this is related to the Import-Module command and the context i'm trying to delivery it in?
I've tried multiple scenario's of...
A.) Psexec that launches powershell, followed by the Import-Module -name <path\name of module>
B.) .Bat file that launches powershell with the same Import-Module syntax
C.) PS1 that includes the same Import-Module line.
D.) Just straight from the command line of the Pkg/Program.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a better method when trying to deliver invoke-command on a module/function to a client via SCCM?
TIA

[I see that the you are running the powershell.exe and then importing the module in the command line for the Program you created in SCCM, so just importing the module will do the repair action for you ??]
Not sure how else i would run a Import-Module without calling upon powershell.exe. The reason for using Import-Module first is it only creates the abilty of whatever the module(function in this case) on the client. So if i can get the remote
Import-Module to work, which would then allow me in the future to use an Invoke-Command -scriptblock { Do-This "string" } on the clients. In this case its both an Uninstall and Repair function with an assortment of switches and arguements that will aide me
in the future in managing our apps. For me to use the Modules, i would need to Invoke-Command as that is how the functions are built.
Okey so the module does get dumped to the end machine.
Suppose you have a test machine TEST01 where the Test.psm1 file (having Test-Function)is delivered through SCCM.
Then try this and tell if it works:
PS C:\> $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName TEST01
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Import-Module Test.psm1 }
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Test-Function #inside your Module}#Or Simply try below:
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -ComputerName TEST01 -ScriptBlock {Import-Modules Test.psm1;Test-Function #inside your Module}
I think what you are doing is below.....for the example am taking "webadministration" module:
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01 -ScriptBlock {Import-Module web*}
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01 -ScriptBlock {get-website}
The term 'get-website' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (get-website:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
+ PSComputerName : sdwuweb017
Point here is you need to import the module and work with it in an already opened session....If you specify a computername every time then PowerShell opens the Session does what you want it to do and tears down the session. To persist the importing of the
module it must be done in a session which we make using New-PSSession and then run the commands against that session.
I might have misunderstood the problem but this is what I have got so far.
Hope this helps

Moving from Late 2008 MB to Late 2008 MBP... best way to restore via TM?

Hello,
My Late 2008 Macbook was involved in an accident (RIP). I had hopes the HDD would still work okay, but it just beeps at me and is unable to load anything.
So, I've already ordered my replacement Mac. I ended up ordering the 2.53 Late 2008 MBP refurbed from Apple.
I need to eventually restore my data on here. Fortunately I had Time Machine setup with my backup applications and files. What is the best way to restore my applications/settings on the New Macbook? Migration Assistant? Archive and Install?
The previous Macbook had a problem when opening Safari, sometimes it would take a few seconds longer than normal to load with the beachball. I'm trying to avoid migrating the issues I had previously onto the new system, so ideally I'd have a fresh OS X install, but with all of my applications and settings intact. Is there an ideal way to do this?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I understand completely about wanting to have a fresh OS to start out from to minimize any performance issues and whatnot.
As far as I can imagine, the only way to do this with all your settings and files intact is to do the Time Machine restore, then Archive and Install after (aka Option 2). However, I would evaluate the performance of the system before doing the Archive and Install. I have a feeling that you'll think its more than satisfactory and not feel the need to do the A&I at all.
As to the Safari issue, it was probably a .plist file corruption or something like that which is very simple to fix. If the new machine presents the same issue with Safari as the old one, I'm pretty confident that we can fix that up quite easily.

When I send a webpage via email, some of my recipients are unable to see it properly. The website was made with iWeb, and a Mac person advised me this was the best way to do an email campaign with iWeb, but it's not working for a lot of my customers - why

I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...
