Random files appearing in file system

I have random files appearing in my webroot.  I am not sure if it is caused by dreamweaver cs3 or something else.  I keep deleting them but they reappear.  They are named random characters without any extension.  Here is a screenshot.

Dreamweaver isn't doing it. When you open one in notepad, what do you see?

  • Folders not appearing in file system

    Ok, so here is my issue.  I have a law firm that asked me to set up a simple backup script for their network drive... back up all their case files to external hard drives.  The network is mostly Windows XP computers with one Windows 7 computer.
     The share drive is on a windows XP computer that I don't have direct access to normally (Its the attorney's office computer and it is rarely available to work on during the regular business day, which is the only time I have to work).  So, I created
    a batch file, which is left on the backup drives, to xcopy the files through a symbolically linked directory on the C drive.  I did that so I could set the same symbolic directory on all the computers and the script will work regardless of which computer
    they are plugged into.
    So, my script runs xcopy with the /d /v /y /e flags, plus an exclusion file excluding random things like $RECYCLE.BIN and /RECYCLER/.  Because a lot of the computers are XP, robocopy wasn't an option.  Regardless, I found that running robocopy
    created the same problem anyway.
    After copying everything over, the file system stops recognizing the backup directory.  My batch file is still there.  The exclusion text file is still there.  The Backup directory, however, just vanishes.  It almost like its hidden,
    but it doesn't show up when hidden files and directory are shown and, in the CLI, dir /ah doesn't pick it up either.  It is there though... trying to create another "Backup" directory at that location is rejected and, if I remember where things
    are, I can still cd into the directory structure.  I have tried restarting the external hardrive.  I've tried rebooting the computer.  I've tried refreshing the explorer.  Nothing works.  If I copy the files over, the directory that
    I copy them to just stops being recognized... every single time.  Not sure if it matters, but I formatted the hard drives to NTFS.  So, any ideas?
    As a side note... $300 for tech support?  Really?  What I'm doing is really basic and simple, and I'm not using anything that isn't integral to your software... xcopy.  You want me to pay $300 to report and fix bugs that are either in a fundamental
    component of your own command line application suite or with the compatibility of your file system?  "Lets get them to pay for something that doesn't work and then make them pay us to fix it!"  That is blatantly unethical.  In any
    other industry it wouldn't even come close to being legit.  If you paid a plumber to install piping in your house, and then your house flooded right after you turned the water on, is it reasonable to have to pay him again to fix the problems that he caused?
     Nobody would tolerate it... but somehow its a standard practice here.  Your solution is "Either pay us, or get the community of other users to help you".  There is a good reason why my entire business (not the law firm, but my business)
    runs on Linux and other open source software.  If we are being told to "fix it yourselves" anyway, then I at least want access to the source code so I can.  Seriously... I hate it when I have to come here to correct issues with MS overpriced,
    bloated, proprietary POS.

    If i read this correctly you are going the other way but copying files from Windows XP to a Windows 7 machine will cause networking to drop out on the Win7 machine, you have to do some registry tweaks for the networking for it to not drop out. I've run into
    that several times.
    If that has nothing to do with your issue the only thing i can think of is an issue with your script causing it to delete or not successfully copy the files. I've used xcopy /dicey for lots of things without an issue though. Perhaps it is something with
    your exclusions or symbolic links. Maybe drop the /v off and see if that makes a difference?

    Hi Dominik
    What is the target of this transport request? Are you sure it's not marked as "local" in transaction SE01 for example? Because if it is a local transport request, it will not generate a file.

  • [Java 7] Zip file system does not handle nested zip files

    The ZIP FileSystem which is shipped as an extension with Java7 does not support nested ZIP files. I.e., you can open the outer zip file as a FileSystem, but if you try to open an inner zip as a FileSystem, you get this exception:
    java.nio.file.ProviderNotFoundException: Provider not found
         at java.nio.file.FileSystems.newFileSystem(FileSystems.java:403)Since the ZIP FileSystem is an extension, and not a part of the core JDK, I'm posting this here (and on Xueming's blog) in the hope that it will get resolved. It doesn't seem right to report it as a JDK bug.

    872883 wrote:
    The zip file system definitely allows zip entries to be read without extracting them first. And--based on reviewing the ZipFS source code that Oracle has included with the JDK--it doesn't appear to be silently extracting the data to a temporary file.you missed the point of what Peter Lawrey said. in order to create a ZipFS on a zip file, it must be a file in the first place (i.e. have random access). there is no way to do random access on an entry within an existing zip file, therefore in order to create a ZipFS on a nested zip file, you would first have to extract it to a file.

  • Error message "Live file system repair is not supported."

    System won't boot. Directed to Disk Utility to repair but get error message "Live file system repair is not supported."  Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.
    John

    I recently ran into a similar issue with my Time Machine backup disk. After about 6 days of no backups - I had swapped the disk for my photo library for a media project; I reattached the Time Machine disk and attempted a backup.
    Time Machine could not backup to the disk. Running Disk Utility and attempting to Repair the disk ended up returning the "Live file system repair is not supported" message.
    After much experimentaion with disk analysis softwares, I came to the realization that the issue might be that the USB disk dock wasn't connected directly to the MacBook Pro - it was daisy-chained through a USB Hub.
    Connecting the USB disk dock directly to the MBP and running Disk Utility appears to have resolved the issue. DU ran for about 6 hours and succesfully repaired the disk. Consequently, I have been able to use that Time Machine disk for subsequent backups.

  • How to get access to the local file system when running with Web Start

    I'm trying to create a JavaFX app that reads and writes image files to the local file system. Unfortunately, when I run it using the JNLP file that NetBeans generates, I get access permission errors when I try to create an Image object from a .png file.
    Is there any way to make this work in Netbeans? I assume I need to sign the jar or something? I tried turning "Enable Web Start" on in the application settings, and "self-sign by generated key", but that made it so the app wouldn't launch at all using the JNLP file.

    Same as usual as with any other web start app : sign the app or modify the policies of the local JRE. Better sign the app with a temp certificate.
    As for the 2nd error (signed app does not launch), I have no idea as I haven't tried using JWS with FX 2.0 yet. Try to activate console and loggin in Java's control panel options (in W7, JWS logs are in c:\users\<userid>\appdata\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log) and see if anything appear here.
    Anyway JWS errors are notoriously not easy to figure out and the whole technology in itself is temperamental. Find the tool named JaNeLA on the web it will help you analyze syntax error in your JNLP (though it is not aware of the new syntax introduced for FX 2.0 and may produce lots of errors on those) and head to the JWS forum (Java Web Start & JNLP Andrew Thompson who dwells over there is the author of JaNeLA).

  • How do I use a NAS file system attached to my router to store iTunes purchases?

    We have four Windows devices networked in our house.  They all run iTunes with the same Apple ID so when any one of them has iTunes running, we can see that computer on our Apple TV.  Two run Windows XP, one runs Vista Business, and the newest runs Windows 7.  Upgrading all to the same Windows software is out of the question.  Our NAS is hung on an "off warranty" Linksys E3000 router which communicates via USB with a 1TB NTFS formatted Western Digital hard drive.  Our plan when we set up this little network, not cheaply, in our 1939 baloon construction tank of a house, was to build our library of digital images, music, and video primarily on that device.  It supports a variant of Windows streaming support, but poorly.  The best streaming support for our environment seems to be our ethernet connected Apple TV which is hung off the big TV in our family room, and has access to the surround sound "Home Theater" in that room.  We've incrementally built up collections of photos, digitized music, and most recently educational materialsd, podcasts, etc. which threaten storage limits on a couple of default C: drives on these windows systems.  iTunes, before the latest upgrades, gave us some feedback on the file system connections it established without going to the properties of the individual files, but the latest one has yet to be figured out.  MP3's and photos behave fairly well, including the recently available connection between Adobe software and iTunes which magically appeared, allowing JPEG files indexed by Adobe Photoshop Elements running on the two fastest computers to show up under control on the Apple TV attached 56' Samsung screen! 
    Problems arose when we started trying to set things up so that purchases downloaded from the iTunes store ended up directly on the NAS, and when things downloaded to a specific iTunes library on one of the Windows boxes caused storage "issues" on that box.  A bigger problem looming in the immediate future is the "housecleaning" effort which is part of my set of "new years resolutions."  How do I get control of all of my collections and merge them on the NAS without duplicate files, or when, for example, we have .ACC and .MP3 versions, only the required "best" option for the specific piece of music becomes a candidate for streaming?
    I envission this consolidation effort as a "once in a lifetime" effort.  I'm 70, my wife is 68 and not as "technical" as I am, so documented procedures will be required. 
    I plan to keep this thread updated with progress and questions as this project proceeds.  Links to "how to" experiences which are well documented, etc. may be appreciated by those who follow it.  I plan to post progress reports and detailed issues going forward.   Please help?

    Step 1 - by trial and error...
    So far, I have been able to create physical files containing MP3 and JPG on the NAS using the Windows XP systems to copy from shared locations on the Vista and Win7 boxes.  This process has been aided by the use of a 600 GB SATA 2 capable hard drive enclosure.  I first attach to Win 7 or Win Vista and reboot to see the local drive spaces formatted on the portable device.  Then I copy files from the user's private directories to the public drive space.  When the portable drive is wired to an XP box, I can use Windows to move the files from the portable device to the NAS without any of the more advanced file attributes being copied to the NAS.  Once the files are on the NAS, I can add the new folder(s) to iTunes on any of the computers and voila, the data becomes sharable via iTunes.  So far, this works for anything that I have completely purchased, or for MP3's I made from the AIC files created when I purchased alblums via iTunes. 
    I have three huge boxes full of vynl records I've accumulated.  The ones that I've successfully digitized via a turntable attached to the sound card on one of my computers and third party software, have found their way to the NAS after being imported into iTunes and using it to bring down available album art work.  In general I've been reasonably well pleased with the sound quality of digital MP3 files created this way, but the software I've been using sometimes has serious problems automatically separating individual songs from the album tracks and re-converting "one at a time" isn't very efficient.

  • Crystal Reports XI String [255] limit with the File System Data driver...

    I was trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report to return security permissions of files and folders.  I have been able to successfully connect and return data using the File System Data driver as the Data Source; however the String limit on the ACL NT Security Field is 255 characters.  The full string of data to be returned can be much longer than the 255 limit and I cannot find how to manipulate that parameter. 
    I am currently on Crystals XI and Crystal XI R2 and have applied the latest service packs but still see the issue.  My Crystal Reports Database DLL for File System data ( crdb_FileSystem.dll ) is at Product Version 11.5.10.1263.
    Is it possible to change string limits when using the File System Data driver as the Data Source?  If so, how can that be accomplished.  If not, is there another method to retrieve information with the Windows File System Data being the Data Source?  Meaning, could I reach my end game objective of reporting on the Windows ACL's with Crystal through another method?

    Hello,
    This is a known issue. Early versions you could not create folder structures longer than 255 characters. With the updates to the various OS's this is now possible but CR did not allocate the same space required.
    It's been tracked as an enhancement - ADAPT01174519 but set for a future release.
    There are likely other ways of getting the info and then putting it into an Excel file format and using that as the data source.
    I did a Google search and found this option: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/16772-45-display-explorer-folders-tree-structure-export-excel
    There are tools out there to do this kind of thing....
    Thank you
    Don

  • Open library from AFP share - Unsupported File System - Aperture 3

    Testing Aperture 3 - Exported a project as a library to an AFP (10.5) share.
    I then tried to reopen the library and got an error Unsupported File System ?
    Is there possibly a network file system that will support Aperture 3 libraries ?

    Temp solution in this thread - tested it and it works
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2330306&tstart=30
    I have found an workaround for this issue. Do the following:
    First, upgrade the library to version 3 using Aperture on the computer where you have the disk containing the library; if this is not possible, copy the library on the computer running Aperture and do the update there, then copy the updated library back;
    Then navigate to the network disk where you have the updated library and double-click it: a dialog box will come out saying something like <There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/Media/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported> Click OK.
    A new dialog box will appear asking "Which library do you want Aperture to use?" and a list with all libraries; among them, the library situated on the network disk. Select it and click "Choose".
    Voila, after a delay depending on the speed of your network and remote disk, the library will open.
    Note that this "show" will repeat each time you will start-up Aperture. Anyway, it's better than nothing. I hope that Apple will correct this soon.
    And yes, I am using the Trial Version, I will buy a license only after Apple solves this issue! "

  • Disk Utility can't format my external HD - File System Formatter fails

    Hi. I have a Freecom 1.5TB external hardrive that is connected by firewire to my Intel iMac. The drive has worked fine for a year and then suddenly the "error 36 code" appeared and nothing else could be saved to the drive.
    Disk Utility told me that it could not repair the disk and that I should format it. At this stage the problems start!
    DU fails to format the drive with the error "File System Formatter Failed."
    I have read various conversations on this error on these forums and followed the instructions but nothing has worked. I have already
    1) Partioned the disk making sure it is "GUID" - then formatted and it still fails
    2) Used MS DOS to do it but that also fails.
    I have noticed that the SMART status is "not recognised".
    Is there anything else that I can do or am I just doing this wrong? I am thinking that I might be able to do something using the start-up disks but I don't know how to do that and don't want to jepardise my iMac whichis otherwise working fine!
    Any help appreciated.
    Rob

    I went crazy last night with the same issue trying to format my Toshiba external drive. I could format as MSDOS but not Mac journaled. I tried the guid partition scheme etc... no luck.  Then I read somewhere that Leopard has an issue with the partitioning schemes. I hooked it up to my macbook on Tiger and whalla, formatted no problem. Then I was able to hook it up to Time Machine and let it reformat it on my Snow Leopard version of OSX on the iMac. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

  • Crashes and read-only file systems

    Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible.  I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation.  Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
    I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu.  I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
    Setup:
    Thinkpad 2436CTO
    UEFI/GPT
    SSD drive
    Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
    The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
    All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
    The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing.  Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only.  I started having the same issues as this OP:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
    At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
    When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
    Failed unmounting /var
    Failed unmounting /usr
    Followed by a ton of these:
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
    Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
    After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know   I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
    After started anew, I noticed
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
    was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember).  After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
    I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours.  Soon after, I got the same old issues back.  The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage.  That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
    I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
    I utilized all disk checking functions possible.  From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck.  All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
    Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
    Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
    Which I would opt to fix.  Nothing serious, though.
    I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
    The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
    It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
    unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
    After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
    ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
    RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
    Server terminated successfully (0)
    Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
    rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
    Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks.  I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
    I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
    At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Did this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
    What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
    If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
    What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
    Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
    Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

  • Uploaded Files stored in Oracle 10G database or in Unix File system

    Hey All,
    I am trying to understand best practices on storing uploaded files. Should you store within the database itself (this is the current method we are using by leveraging BLOB storage) or use a BFILE locator to use the files system storage (we have our DB's on UNIX) . . .or is there another method I should be entertaining? I have read arguments on both sides of this question. I wanted to see what answers forum readers could provide!! I understand there are quite a few factors but the situation I am in is as follows:
    1) Storing text and pdf documents.
    2) File sizes range from a few Kb to up to 15MB in size
    3) uploaded files can be deleted and updated / replaced quite frequently
    Right now we have an Oracle stored procedure that is uploading the files binary data into a BLOB column on our table. We have no real "performance" problems with this method but are entertaining the idea of using the UNIX file system for storage instead of the database.
    Thanks for the insight!!
    Anthony Roeder

    Anthony,
    First word you must learn here in this forum is RESPECT.
    If you require any further explanation, just say so.
    BLOB compared with BFILE
    Security:
    BFILEs are inherently insecure, as insecure as your operating system (OS).
    Features:
    BFILEs are not writable from typical database APIs whereas BLOBs are.
    One of the most important features is that BLOBs can participate in transactions and are recoverable. Not so for BFILEs.
    Performance:
    Roughly the same.
    Upping the size of your buffer cache can make a BIG improvement in BLOB performance.
    BLOBs can be configured to exist in Oracle's cache which should make repeated/multiple reads faster.
    Piece wise/non-sequential access of a BLOB is known to be faster than a that of a BFILE.
    Manageability:
    Only the BFILE locator is stored in an Oracle BACKUP. One needs to do a separate backup to save the OS file that the BFILE locator points to. The BLOB data is backed up along with the rest of the database data.
    Storage:
    The amount of table space required to store file data in a BLOB will be larger than that of the file itself due to LOB index which is the reason for better BLOB performance for piece wise random access of the BLOB value.

  • Difference between ASM Disk Group, ADVM Volume and ACFS File system

    Q1. What is the difference between an ASM Disk Group and an ADVM Volume ?
    To my mind, an ASM Disk Group is effectively a logical volume for Database files ( including FRA files ).
    11gR2 seems to have introduced the concepts of ADVM volumes and ACFS File Systems.
    An 11gR2 ASM Disk Group can contain :
    ASM Disks
    ADVM volumes
    ACFS file systems
    Q2. ADVM volumes appear to be dynamic volumes.
    However is this therefore not effectively layering a logical volume ( the ADVM volume ) beneath an ASM Disk Group ( conceptually a logical volume as well ) ?
    Worse still if you have left ASM Disk Group Redundancy to the hardware RAID / SAN level ( as Oracle recommend ), you could effectively have 3 layers of logical disk ? ( ASM on top of ADVM on top of RAID/SAN ) ?
    Q3. if it is 2 layers of logical disk ( i.e. ASM on top of ADVM ), what makes this better than 2 layers using a 3rd party volume manager ( eg ASM on top of 3rd party LVM ) - something Oracle encourages against ?
    Q4. ACFS File systems, seem to be clustered file systems for non database files including ORACLE_HOMEs, application exe's etc ( but NOT GRID_HOME, OS root, OCR's or Voting disks )
    Can you create / modify ACFS file systems using ASM.
    The oracle toplogy diagram for ASM in the 11gR2 ASM Admin guide, shows ACFS as part of ASM. I am not sure from this if ACFS is part of ASM or ASM sits on top of ACFS ?
    Q5. Connected to Q4. there seems to be a number of different ways, ACFS file systems can be created ? Which of the below are valid methods ?
    through ASM ?
    through native OS file system creation ?
    through OEM ?
    through acfsutil ?
    my head is exploding
    Any help and clarification greatly appreciated

    Q1 - ADVM volume is a type of special file created in the ASM DG.  Once created, it creates a block device on the OS itself that can be used just like any other block device.  http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17612/asmfilesystem.htm#OSTMG30000
    Q2 - the asm disk group is a disk group, not really a logical volume.  It combines attributes of both when used for database purposes, as the database and certain other applications know how to talk "ASM" protocol.  However, you won't find any general purpose applications that can do so.  In addition, some customers prefer to deal directly with file systems and volume devices, which ADVM is made to do.  In your way of thinking, you could have 3 layers of logical disk, but each of them provides different attributes and characteristics.  This is not a bad thing though, as each has a slightly different focus - os file system\device, database specific, and storage centric.
    Q3 - ADVM is specifically developed to extend the characteristics of ASM for use by general OS applications.  It understands the database performance characteristics and is tuned to work well in that situation.  Because it is developed in house, it takes advantage of the ASM design model.  Additionally, rather than having to contact multiple vendors for support, your support is limited to calling Oracle, a one-stop shop.
    Q4 - You can create and modify ACFS file systems using command line tools and ASMCA.  Creating and modifying logical volumes happens through SQL(ASM), asmcmd, and ASMCA.  EM can also be used for both items.  ACFS sits on top of ADVM, which is a file in an ASM disk group.  ACFS is aware of the characteristics of ASM\ADVM volumes, and tunes it's IO to make best use of those characteristics. 
    Q5 - several ways:
    1) Connect to ASM with SQL, use 'alter diskgroup add volume' as Mihael points out.  This creates an ADVM volume.  Then, format the volume using 'mkfs' (*nix) or acfsformat (windows).
    2) Use ASMCA - A gui to create a volume and format a file system.  Probably the easiest if your head is exploding.
    3) Use 'asmcmd' to create a volume, and 'mkfs' to format the ACFS file system.
    Here is information on ASMCA, with examples:

  • My Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing on random file formats...How do I find the cause within the crash report?

    One of our users is experiencing crashes when opening random files. They range from regular Photoshop to JPEG files. The same errors is occasionally happening with Illustrator but it is predominate on Photoshop. The following are two crash reports that appeared after the crashes. How would I troubleshoot and figure out the cause by reading these reports?

    I know i have a G5 in my profile but as i said in my first post of this thread im using my macbookpro dual 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM so the apogee has nothing to do with this computer.
    I ran rember last night and i woke up after 12 hours and it was still running.
    I put loops onto maximum and RAM allocation to maximum to get full testing.
    Any ideas on why its taking this long or is it normal?
