Opening The Simplest File Server

Hi!
I would like to enable a friend who is running Windows to upload a 30MB file to my arch machine without him having to install any software or signing up to any sharing services - that is, I want to be the politest recipient possible.
What's the simplest way to do this?
I've been reading up on installing OpenSSH, vsftp and setting up a LAMP-Server, but do I really need this?

Thanks! I will try doing it via Dropbox/webtransfer
So in general: Setting up a server that allows somebody else to upload files to some ftp://* address, for example, that would NOT require set up at both ends, needs quite some work?
Xyne wrote quickserve for that purpose. You'll have to set up some port forwarding and maybe dyndns, then your friend only needs a webbrowser.

Opening the Excel file from Application server

Hi All,
I had uploaded an excel file on the application server for using it in my program .
But when i am opening the uploaded file on the Application server it shows some special characters and those are also displayed on my report output while reading the file from the application server.
Please suggest how to get rid of those special characters.
my open data set statement is
OPEN DATASET pg_out2 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

Hi ,
if it a Excel file ..
do the following..
    OPEN DATASET pg_out2              "appl file
            FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
            ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      DO.
        READ DATASET p_infile INTO w_temp.
*       Condition To check when cursor reaches End Of file
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          PERFORM f_split_appl_data.
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
      CLOSE DATASET p_infile.
    ELSE.

Two users opened the same file at the same time with file on Win2K Server

I just had a problem with a file that could not be saved. After a little investigation I discovered that two users had the same file open at the same time. This is with both users using InDesign CS2 and saving to a Windows 2000 Server. Any ideas how this even happened? The only thing I can think of is if they both opened the file at the exact same time but even that I doubt. I guess the more likely possibility is that the user on 10.5 (which we have had a lot of problems with, it's hard to tell how many of them are CS3 problems (yes CS3) and how many are Windows 2003 Server problems) had InDesign CS2 flake out and not tell her the file was open. Has anybody else seen this? The other user was using 10.4. Both computers have the most recent updates for the OS and for their various adobe products.

I have videos on mov file and my quick time player does not play them.
The MOV file container is the generic QT file container. Any audio and video data compatible with the computer system used to create the file can be placed in the MOV file container. Unfortunate, other systems cannot play the file unless they too are configured with the same components as those used to create the file. The normal procedure here is to use the Finder "Info" or alternative media play "Inspector" window to determine what codecs were used to create the original file and, if they are available for your Mac, install them on your system for playback use. Also be advised that some "legacy" codecs may require playback in the QT 7 Player for proper QT support.
I opened with other players, there is no sound. Then I opened the same file on my windows 7, it plays perfectly with the sound and everything? What is the problem?
This would indicate these players either access your QT codec component configuration which does not include the required codec or the app has its own built-in codec support which does not include the required audio codec but you Windows 7 media player is configured with the required codec support. This may incidate the use of a really old codecs that may or may not be available/supported on a Mac any longer.

can anyone pls help how to set the db offline. currently i stopped the sql server services from services.msc and started the sql server agent.
should i stop both services for moving from one drive to another?
note: I tried teh below solution but this didint work:
ALTER DATABASE <DBName> SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Update:
now am getting the message :
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40

First you should have checked the database mdf/ldf name and location by using the command
Use CMP_143
Go
Sp_helpfile
Looks like your database CMP_143 was successfully detached but mdf/ldf location or name was different that is why it did not get copied to target location.
Database is already detached that’s why db offline failed
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_detach_db, Line 40
The database 'CMP_143' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
EXEC @RC = sp_attach_db @DBName, @DESTData, @DESTLog
Attached step is failing as there is no mdf file

Solution:
Search for the physical files(mdf/ldf) in the OS and copy to target location and the re-run sp_attach_db with right location and name of mdf/ldf.

Hi,
Not able to find Report - Standard templates or Report - Custom templates view in Administration - BIP reports in Siebel 8.1.1.3?
We have applied 8.1.1.3 patch on 8.1.1.0
below are the steps followed
Reports are not generated after 8.1.1.3 patch installtion.
we have also followed to below steps mentioned for this issue in oracle support.
"In order to resolve this behavior it is necessary to ensure that the 8.1.1.3 FixPack has been applied to the Siebel Tools installation. This will provide an additional .zip file in the REPPATCH folder of the Siebel Tools installation. Once this has been done please then follow the configuration steps as documented :
change sysprefix to X_ before sif import and chage back to SBL_ after sif import.
1) Import the sif files from Siebel\8.1\Tools_1\REPPATCH\12-1VMBCSV.zip
2) Import the 4 SIF files in the following order:
S_XMLP_REP_TMPL_02112010.sif
SBL_XMLP_REPORT_SELECTION_FLG.sif
Report Template BC.sif
Report Template Registration Applet.sif
3)Apply the DDL for table S_XMLP_REP_TMPL and compile repository
Once the above steps have been completed the Selected Record flag will appear in the Report Template Registration views."
we still not able to generated able to generate reports even after following above steps.
Thanks

The Applications File Server could not open the file

Hi All,
We have shared appl_top between 2 nodes.
When running concurrent request such as active user report, i got the following error:
The Applications File Server could not open the file oXXXXX.out for read
I have found metalink note
The Applications File Server could not open the file o611681.out for read (Doc ID 1311372.1)
The $APPLCSF are all fine and so are the permissions.
I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?
Thanks in advance

I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?Do you have PCP implemented? If yes, you do not need to start the CMs on the second node and running adcmctl.sh script on the first node would be enough.
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.What exactly do you start?
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?Please explain what components are running on each node.
All the URLs Accessing EBS Are Getting Redirected to the Web Node Where Autoconfig Last Ran [ID 1349509.1]

Error message: "Unable to open the physical file" when trying to attach AdventureWorks database

I have searched the internet and this forum and have not found an answer...
I am trying to install the AdventureWorks database into my single instance of MS SQL Server Express 2005. I am logged into my machine as an administrator and logged into SQL Server 2005 express 'sa'. I attempt to run the following script:
exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks',
@filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
The error message I get back is:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" and all the files in it are read-write. I am 100.0000% certain the files "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf" exist! They are the result of running the installation program AdventureWorksDB.msi, which I downloaded from: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004.
What do I have to do to install the AdventureWorkds database????

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day

How do I stop more than one user opening the same file?

I'm about to install Lion Server and we're concerned that more than one person will be able to open the same file at the same time. Can this be prevented? If not it seems to make the concept of a server pointless?
Any help appreciated. Already annoyed I have to phone and order 10.7 Server as it's no longer on the App Store. Can't run 10.8 as the Mac Pro is too old and Apple have cut us off.

The file server software supports file locking, but multiple file access is application-dependent. In some cases it's entirely valid for multiple users to access the same file. It's up to the application to allow or deny this.
Ordinarily, if an application requires exclusive access it should flag the file accordingly when it opens the file. This will prevent other users from opening the file. However, it's not up to the server to do this.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop. I worked in a CS6 version but also tried opening in a CC but nothing happens. Help

I was working in my school's mac but running windows, and the file was being saved in the school's network not on the computer. I thought it had been saved and I also copy and pasted the file in my hard drive to guarantee a copy but none of the are opening.
The file size was appox. 1giga
Thanks a lot

The problem was saving over the network. Working across a network is not supported.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Using Illustrator CS and being able to open the same file on two machines!

Hi,
Don't know if anybody can help?
I have been using macs for many years and now we have moved over to windows!
We are using a server (not sure which type? NT?) and we have found that with the Mac you could not have two users in the same file but with Windows I can be in an Illustrator file and a colleague can also open the same file - no error message comes up or anything! We can then both do changes in that file and the last to save has the updated file.
Can we do anything so you get a error message for the second user?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Carole

Hi,
this does not make sense? Its the SAME version of Illustrator as that was on the Mac but when working on the PC you can both be in the file. On the Mac you get an error message saying the file is already open and you cannot access it.
This must be a Windows issue or a Server issue as the problem is not on the Mac?

Problem while opening the excel files

Hi
In my system , i have excel reports in my server disk . And i am opening the excel files through an action class like /viewReport.do?id=23 .....and thus from the action class i open my excel file .
After opening one excel file , i try to open another excel by clicking that link , then my system often hangs else excel shows an error saying "a report with name viewReport.do is already open " even though both of these files are different on the server
How can i avoid this ??
The reason why i am opening the excel file through an action class is , i need to perform some operations before opening that excel report
i tried by setting the
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=myWorksheet.xls");
and i kept on changing the names but that doesnt work
Can any one let me know how to go abt this ??

Hi Sir,
I found you posted the issue in the
APS.NET forum, and you seems use some code to open the file. Have you tried the last link in the thread?
Then, let's do some test to narrow down the issue.
I notice that you are using Office 2010, does the issue occur only with 'Reachlocal.xlsx' or every existed file?
If every Excel file has the issue, please try the following methods:
Open the file in
safe mode.
Repair Office 2010.
On the other hand, this problem might be caused by malware on the affected machine. There are now two known variants of malware which causes this problem: Win32/Crilock.A and
Win32/Buma!rts. They have both been identified as a new family of
ransomware.

If you have any further assistance about code/program, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:

Firefox opens the air file !?!!

I have made an air application and uploaded it to my web
server. However, when I enter the URL to the air file, Firefox
opens it up instead of downloading it.
Here's the link to my app:
http://www.jashsayani.com/Development/RememberTheTask.air
(Firefox opens the air file and shows garbeled text. But the
file works when downloaded with a download manager)
Here are other air file links that show the download pop-up
when opened:
WebKut:
http://toki-woki.net/p/WebKut/WebKut-v1.2.2.air
DestroyTwitter:
http://www.destroytoday.com/releases/DestroyTwitter130B.air
What is wrong ? and how do I fix it ?

Sounds like you need to assign a MIME type foe AIR files on
your web server.
(application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip)

Opening the same file in by different users

As a newbie to InDesign I got a workflow question.
Working with a team of 6 designers, we would like all to work in the same InDesign document. We need to create a big salebooks book, therefore it is necessary to open the same file in different copy of indesign?
Currently we are working with CS5 and when I have a indd file open, none of my coworkers are able to open the file except for a copy. I understand that really working together on the same file is something you could do. But can’t be like in MS-Office? The moment you open a indd file which is already opened by a other user, you will get a message and you can then either to open as read only or a notification when the other user is ready editing the file
Is this possible? Or do we need some additional tools?

I would actually be surprised if there are no workflow management plugins that do this.
As you imply, it's really not that hard to do.
Making it look really slick would probably require a plugin.
But you could do it fairly easily with some simple scripting, a few hours of work.
One script that runs whenever anyone opens or closes a file and registers that open/closure with a server.
Plus some extra stuff to deal with messaging.

Problem with opening the .fmx file through hyperlink

I am trying to open a .fmx file through hyperlink. After clicking on the hyperlink a dilogue box opens up and asks for "open from the remote server", "save on the local disk" and cancel. If I click on open the .fmx file opens up and applications starts working.
Problem is "I do not want this dialogue box to be opened after clicking on the hyperlink". I tried to change the mime type and changed the setting of Internet explorer. But it does not work.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thanx in advance

whever i refresh the entire application in the tomact then its been recognizedMaybe you're creating and downloading it asynchronously so that the creation of the file isn't finished yet while you're about to download it.

How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

Dear All,
How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

Blessan Joseph,
The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).
