Software Suggestions - Uploading files

Can anyone suggest a software product for me.
I need to:
Upload files to website. ( several hundred copies of invoices, please suggest best formats)
Upload xls files . (listing the above selected copies requested)
Download, print and manage selected files from website.
Administrate process: Account Sign In, Passwords, Member Selection
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Do you want to work on J2ME application which interact J2EE or any server side scripting language?
If you are making application like that then you need to do following -
* Using Connector class (Basically Connection framework) you can
1. Upload files to website.
2. Upload xls files.
* Using BlueTooth you can connect to printer and print documents
For printing and manage selected files, do you want to do it from web? then you just need do work on web application.
Cheers,
Rohan Chandane

Can't download software updates or upload files

Hello,
I'm looking for help with an issue that has plagued me for a while now. My 12" Powerbook can't upload files of any type and I have been unable to perform a software update for some time. The only software updates that work are for Firefox and they go on without a hitch. When I run the software update utility it says I need to check my network diagnostics; I do so and it says my network is working fine. This happens on every network I connect to and I have been unable to upload/attach files in emails or to my website for the same amount of time. My download speeds are unaffected. I have already double checked all my airport settings and tried things with an ethernet connection as well. DSLReports says that my upload speed/capability is still there. I also tried repairing my disk permissions as well.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your time.

HI,
Try deleting the SoftwareUpdate .plist file.
Go to /Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file to the Trash. Restart your PBook.
If that doesn't help, how much free space is there on your PBook? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Do you have a third party software called PeerGuardian installed by chance or do you have anti virus software installed?

Unable to update software or upload pics from SD card-how do I remove files from startup disk? Please help!

Hello Smile_333
The article below will assist with finding things and help increase the hard drive space for your computer. The best way is to have an external hard drive to copy things to if you do not want to delete and loose things.

How to SCAN uploaded files for VIRUS in APEX

part 1:
Goal:
Do a virus scan of the uploaded file from APEX application prior to storing the file in custom tables.

Followed the document from www.developer.com:
Implementing an Anti-Virus File Scan in JEE Applications
By Vlad Kofman
Go to page: 1 2 3 Next
This article will discuss one of the ways to implement antivirus file scanning in Java, particular in the JEE applications. Viruses, Trojan Horses, and different malware and spyware are a real problem for current computer environments, and especially for the Windows operating system. If you are designing any application in Java that has a requirement to be able to upload external files, you have a potential security risk. By uploading, I mean any way to get the external file inside of the corporate firewall be it via HTTP protocol or any other means. It is quite common to have this type of requirement in an enterprise application and with Java being one of the most popular web development platforms, it is unfortunate that this type of gaping security risk is quite often overlooked.
Java's Development Kit (JDK) does not have any means to do the antivirus scan right out of the box. This is primarily because Java is a programming language, and does not have any virus scanning packages. Furthermore, anti-virus software is not Sun's area of expertise or business model. Developing this type of software (or Java package), and more importantly maintaining it, would be a huge task for Sun. Mainly because viruses are constantly evolving and keeping virus definitions up-to-date is a daunting task. Large companies such as McAffee, Symantec, or Zone Labs develop virus detecting and combating products and spend a lot of resources to maintain them.
Application Environment
To implement a virus file scan in Java, a third-party package needs to be used. For the purposes of this article, I will use Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) package, which comes with Java APIs. This package is an application that serves as a TCP/IP server and has a programming interface and enables Java applications to incorporate support for content scanning technologies. For this article, I used Symantec Scan Engine 5.1, which is available as a Unix or Windows install.
If you are using an anti-virus package from the different vendor, you will need to investigate what kind of APIs are available; however, the general approach should be similar. Also, note that my implementation can be used with JEE technology and any modern MVC framework such as Struts or Spring.
The architecture is as follows: A server machine needs to have SSE running at all times. This can be the same machine that hosts your Application Server, but in an enterprise environment this should be a different machine. The Default Port needs to be open through the firewall to allow communication with the scan engine. All JEE applications that need to do file scanning can talk to the SSE server machine through a default port. Also, multiple applications running on different application servers can re-use the same scanning server. For more information, you should refer to the Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) Installation Guide, available on the Symantec web site.
When an external file that needs to be scanned is sent to the SSE via its programming interface (Java APIs using the default port), before any other operation on the file is performed, the SSE returns a result code. For instance, a file is uploaded by an external user into the web email type application as an attachment; then, the SSE API is invoked by the application and the return code of pass or fail determines the outcome of the upload and whether that email can actually be sent. If you have an account on Yahoo mail, you probably have seen that Yahoo is using Norton Antivirus to scan all attachments, although no Java.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1: Screen shot from Yahoo
For details on the Scan Engine Server Installationm please see the Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) Implementation Guide from Symantec.
Here are some key things to remember about SSE:
•     Java 2 SE Runtime (JRE) 5.0 Update 6.0 or later must be installed on the server before the SSE installation is done.
•     After installation, verify that the Symantec Scan Engine daemon is running. At the Unix command prompt (if it's a Unix install), type the following command:
ps –ea | grep sym.
A list of processes similar to the following should appear:
o     5358 ? 0:00 symscan
o     5359 ? 0:00 symscan
If nothing is displayed the SSE process did not start.
If the SSE process did not start, type the following command to restart SSE:
/etc/init.d/symscan restart
•     Keeping the virus definition up to date is the most important task and if new updates are not installed, the whole scan becomes ineffective. Symantec automatically downloads the most current file definitions through LiveUpdate. Please make sure that firewall rules are in place to allow the host server to connect to the Symantec update service.
Project Setup
For the purposes of this article, I included a wrapper for the Symantec SSE APIs, av.jar, which has Symantec Java APIs and serves as a client to the SSE server and takes care of all communications with the server. Please refer to the download source section. The av.jar should be included in the Java CLASSPATH to work with the SSE. This jar contains a class called AVClient that takes care of actually sending the files to SSE as byte arrays and returning the result.
In my project setting, I added three variables to be accessed via the System.getProperty mechanism. For example:
AV_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.150
AV_SERVER_PORT=1344
AV_SERVER_MODE=SCAN
The AV_SERVER_HOST is the host name or IP of the machine where Scan Engine is installed.
The AV_SERVER_PORT is the port where Scan Engine listens for incoming files.
The AV_SERVER_MODE is the scan mode which can be:
•     NOSCAN: No scanning will be done (any keyword that does not start with "SCAN" will result in ignoring the call to the Scan Engine and no files will be transferred for scanning).
•     SCAN: Files or the byte stream will be scanned, but the scan engine will not try to repair infections.
•     SCANREPAIR: Files will be scanned, the scan engine will try to repair infections, but nothing else will be done.
•     SCANREPAIRDELETE: Files will be scanned, the scan engine will try to repair infections, and irreparable files will be deleted.
Note: For the file stream (byte array) scanning, the only meaning full values are "SCAN" and "NOSCAN".
Using the SSE Scanning Java APIs
In any class where scan is required, call the scanning API provided in the AVClient object located in the av.jar. The AVClient object will establish connection to the Scan Engine server and has the following APIs:
Figure 2: The significant APIs for the communication with to the Scan Engine Server.
If scanning a file on the file system, in SCAN only mode, use the call that accepts filename only.
If scanning a file on the file system, with SCANREPAIR or SCANREPAIRDELETE, use the call that accepts input and output file names.
If scanning an in-memory file (byte array), use the call accepting byte array.
For example:
import com.av.*;
Initialize setup parameters:
static String avMode =
(System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_MODE") != null)
? (String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_MODE") : "NOSCAN";
static boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
static String avServer =
(String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_HOST");
static int avPort =
Integer.parseInt( (String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_PORT"));
Scan check example for an in-memory file byte array:
public void scanFile(byte[] fileBytes, String fileName)
throws IOException, Exception {
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer, avPort, avMode);
if (avc.scanfile(fileName, fileBytes) == -1) {
throw new VirusException("WARNING: A virus was detected in
your attachment: " + fileName + "<br>Please scan
your system with the latest antivirus software with
updated virus definitions and try again.");
Note that if you are using this code inside of the MVC handler, you can throw a custom VirusException and check for it in the calling method and perform any necessary cleanup. I have included the class in the AV Jar as well.
For example:
catch (Exception ex) {
logger.error(ex);
if (ex instanceof VirusException) {
// do something here
else {
// there was some other error – handle it

clienttester g = new clienttester();
g.display();
d)     my2.java – This is the class file I wrote to test that I am able to send a file and scan it and see the output in the JDEVELOPER. In this case the file is stored on the filesystem of the client machine. JDEVELOPER should be able to see the file.
NOTE:
“EICAR.com” is the test file downloaded from Symantec site to test a non malicious virus file. I n order to be able to test it like this, the Antivirus program running on your machine should be disabled, or else Antivirus will kick in and delete the file. In the first place you will not be able to download the test virus file either with anti virus running on the machine you are downloading to.
package com.av;
import java.io.*;
public class my2 {
static int my_return = 0;
* @param fileBytes
* @param fileName
* @return
public static int scanfile(String fileName){
String avMode = "SCAN";
boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
String avServer = "xx";--avserver ip address
int avPort = 1344;
int the_return = 0;
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer,avPort,avMode);
the_return = avc.scanfile(fileName);
if (the_return == -1) {
return (the_return);
} else
return (the_return);
//my_return = the_return;
return (the_return);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Hi there in Main");
byte[] b1 = new byte[4];
b1[1] = 68;
my_return = scanfile("c:\\eicar.com");
System.out.println(my_return);
e)     Then finally we have my1.JAVA, which takes the filename, and it’s contents in the bytes form and scans the file. The reason for this method is we are not storing the file on the filesystem, it is read into the memory and only if it is clean, it is put into the database or else notify the user.
package com.av;
import java.io.*;
public class my1 {
static int my_return = 0;
static int a_length = 0;
* @param fileBytes
* @param fileName
* @return
public static int scanfile(String fileName,byte[] fileBytes) throws IOException {
String avMode = "SCAN";
boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
String avServer = "xxx";--avserver’s ip address
int avPort = 1344;
int the_return = 0;
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer,avPort,avMode);
// File file = new File(fileName) ;
//byte[] fBytes = getBytesFromFile(file);
the_return = avc.scanfile(fileName, fileBytes);
if (the_return == -1) {
return (the_return);
} else
{return (the_return);}
my_return = the_return;
return (the_return);
// Returns the contents of the file in a byte array.
* @param file
* @return
* @throws IOException
public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
// Get the size of the file
long length = file.length();
// You cannot create an array using a long type.
// It needs to be an int type.
// Before converting to an int type, check
// to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
// File is too large
// Create the byte array to hold the data
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
// Read in the bytes
int offset = 0;
int numRead = 0;
while (offset < bytes.length
&& (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
offset += numRead;
// Ensure all the bytes have been read in
if (offset < bytes.length) {
throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
// Close the input stream and return bytes
is.close();
return bytes;
// public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//System.out.println("Hi there in Main");
// File file = new File() ;
// byte[] b1 = getBytesFromFile(file);
//System.out.println(b1);
// my_return = scanfile(,b1);
//System.out.println(my_return); }
Finally , you have the exceptions file,
e) package com.av;
public class VirusException
extends Exception {
public VirusException() {
super();
public VirusException(String text) {
super(text);
Once you have all these classes, you can use JDEVELOPER , to load these classes into the database: This is as follows:
Right click on the project, which has all these classes.
NEW -> deployment profiles -> load java and stored procedures.
When you are created deployment profile, you have to specify,
Loadjava options.
-f, -v (check the check boxes)
Under privileges:
-s – specify database schema these classes are loaded into
-s – create sysnonym check box
-g – grant to public or any specific users per your policy.
Under Resolver,
-r and –o (check the check boxes)
I accepted the default name storedproc1. Then you right click on the storedproc1.deploy, deploy to whichever database connection you created.
And then, In order to access this java class we need a pl/sql wrapper as follows:
create or replace package my1 is
function mycheck (pfilename in varchar2, psize in number)
return number;
end my1;
create or replace package body my1 is
     function mycheck (pfilename in varchar2, psize in number)
return number is
language java
     name 'com.av.my1.scanfile(java.lang.String, byte[]) return int';
     end my1;
And the code is invoked from sql plus as follows:
Select my1.mycheck(“filename”, “filebytes”) from dual;
One important catch in the above method is to send the filename and filecontents in bytes form. In order to send the file contents as filebytes, you will need another java class and load into the data base as described above.

Having main method helps you to run the file in JDEVELOPER or using JAVA.
DO not forget to load this class into the database.
And you create the pl/sql wrapper again as follows:
create or replace FUNCTION TOBY (pfilename in varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2 iS
language java name
'ReadFileIntoByteArray.chk_file(java.lang.String) return byte[]';
And you call the function from sqlplus as follows:
Sql>Set serveroutput on size 20000;
Sql> call dbms_java.set_output(20000);
Sql> Select toby(“filename”) from dual; --
this file should be accessible, I mean you will not be able to send a file on your pc, from sql plus as sql/plus is running on your db server.
You will be able to see the output in sql plus:
If you are running it from the APEX:
When we use file browser widget from APEX, the file is stored in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table. And we retrieve that into a variable and pass this variable to the function as follows:
DECLARE
scan_failed EXCEPTION;
x varchar2(400);
z number;
BEGIN
select filename into x from wwv_flow_files where name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
select my1.mycheck(x,toby(x)) into z from dual;
if z = 0 then

Problem uploading files

I'm having a big problem trying to upload files - whether it is as an email attachment or homework for and online class. I get to the file I want to attach, and the ‘choose’ button does not become clickable, and then the entire web browser freezes up. The only thing to do then is to force quit and try again, but it never works. My dad bought a MacBook at the same time I did and he has no problem uploading files. Does anyone have any suggestions? It will be quite annoying if I have to transfer all of my documents on a flash drive to another computer every time I need to upload something. Thanks in advance!

The variety of uploading tools can be a bit daunting, and the design of websites that allow for uploading can also be. Ideally a website can be set to have a common FTP server that everyone can upload to with a standard FTP program such as http://www.rbrowser.com/ or http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/
If it is a website with a choose file from hard drive type setup, it may be the code of the website is poorly designed for specific browsers as my FAQ here explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html
As for sending e-mail, if you are sending e-mail to Windows users, use the attachment toolbar button in Apple's Mac OS X Mail by first making sure it is there in the View menu -> Customize Toolbar, and you'll find in the dialog to choose documents a checkbox for Send Windows Friendly Attachments.
If you are connecting a server with Appleshare or NTFS drives that's whole different issue which may have to deal with firewall ports.
So the real question is, what method are you using to send files to other people, and what operating system do the other people have?

Need to convert .wmv to .mov. Any software suggestions?

Anyone using software to convert files to incorp. into their iMovie projects? I need to convert some .wmv files to .mov or .mpeg. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Remove link for uploaded files in application

Hi all,
I've been following the tutorial on how to upload and download files in application at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32469/up_dn_files.htm. I have now created my own table which stores the uploaded files and can download them successfully. I would now like to add the ability to delete these files within the application and was wondering what the best way of doing this was?
I would like to add another column to the displayed report with a 'Remove file' link for each listed file, which when clicked would delete the file from the table. I've already tried using a similar method to the one used to upload the files (instead of uploading the file, the called procedure deletes it from the table using the specified ID), but this causes the application to display a blank page when the link is clicked, which I dont want (but does delete the file).
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Regards,
Dave

Dave,
See the login page:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:101
There are details on how to access the application builder, where you can see how the
setup of that download, delete, upload application has been done.

FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

Hi All,
Need some assistance:
Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built. So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre. Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place. All this works perfectly fine.
My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

Questions about OAS Portal Forms to upload files

Hello,
I have quetions, about uploading files, see I need to creat a form that will be used by other people to upload information that later will be presented as downloads in the portal...
so I created a form in my provider with a file (binary) field, and it mimes to my table in the DB, to the field "Archivo", then what I do is use a omniportlet and using HTML format I present like a link using the info in the field Archivo
and when I clic on it it takes me to this link
http://desarrollo06:7778/pls/portal/38173.PDF
but the file I uploaded does not appear
can aniyone help me to solve this?
thanks in advances for the suggestions and your time ^_^

The method you used to setup upload of file seems fine. I suppose you would have used a blob type to save the file in your db table.
basically, you can develop a report offering a link calling perhaps a procedure which would query from the table and download the file.
In that procedure, you would look for the file (vblob) and the mime_type from that table using a sql-query. then use them to setup the mime type for the http protocol, and download the file as follows.
owa_util.mime_header(mime_type);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.Download_File(vblob);
hope that helps!

Itunes Producer Problems Uploading - File not saving - file does not Exist.

Can someone please help me out, this problem is killing me. I've uploaded over 200 UPC Albums using Old G3 and Elderly ITunes Producer, but apple asked me to upgrade, so new machine to me Macmini maverics 10.9.? ITunes Producer 3.1.
So I click open ITunes producer 3.1. Click on make project from Audio
Files. Name and Save the project in Music-ITunes Producer-Playlists.
Plug in my external Flash drive and import the 40 Audio files for the
project. I am using an external flash drive as I can’t get ITunes Producer to
see my internal hard disk, I do not know if this is normal??
Go through the process of saving the project to Music – ITunes Producer –
Playlists – in this case 5060101121313
I then go through name all Tracks and make sure that all Data is correct.
Then when I finally go to either save the document or send it to you I get the
first Screen shot saying
"The Document "5060101121313" COULD NOT BE SAVED. The File does not exist".
As I say I have delivered 200 UPC’s to you with the old software and never
had any problems, I am in urgent need of making significant delivery to you so
would appreciate you help ASAP.

Problem with uploading files to SharePoint 2013 in cloud using web services. Keep getting error message and don't know why.

Hello everyone. I am having trouble writing a utility that uses SharePoint web services to upload a file and metatag it. It keeps throwing the following error message:
"The request failed with the error message: -- <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body> <h2>Object moved to <a href="/_forms/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsites%2fgk%2f_vti_bin%2fcopy.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html> --."
Not sure why. I pass the file that I am going to upload to the subroutine and it is suppose to upload it to the appropriate library. I have burned several days on this problem and I am not sure what is going on. I would appreciate anyone that can point me in
the right direction. Below is the subroutine that I have that is causing the problem. Obviously, I have stripped the name from the example.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
If you want to upload a file to a library in SharePoint 2013 online, I suggest you use Client Object Model or REST API.
The code snippets in the two threads below will be helpful:

Uploading Files Using the REST API
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uksharepoint/archive/2013/04/20/uploading-files-using-the-rest-api-and-client-side-techniques.aspx
You can handle the authentication with

How to specify the directory in which we want to store the uploaded files

               FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
               // Create a new file upload handler

               // Parse the request
               try {

          catch (Exception e) { }
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException,IOException
             doGet(request,response);
The problem is that the control doesn't reach the try statement and I get " File not written" on the console because it enters catch everytime..Please tell me how the path to the directory should be given...Rest of the code is working fine

No, the problem is that when an Exception is thrown, you ignore it completely and throw away all the information associated with it. That leaves you to guess at what the problem is. So instead of answering your guess at a good question, I'm going to suggest that in all of your catch blocks you put this code:e.printStackTrace();Then you can look at the output in the log file and see what the problem is. Start from there.

How do I upload files to an FTP Site in Leopard

I am unable to upload files to an ftp site that was set up for me. I have read write permissions. I can pull files from the site but I cannot upload or place files on the site. The site was tested and is working for pc's

Thanks - I am not really versed in ftp so I am not sure where to start without some direction. Maybe 3rd party software is the answer. I went into the terminal without much success.
The third-party utilities are largely as easy as drag and drop.
