Unusual file in root directory

I just purchased a new Macbook pro and migrated my data using migration assistant. I have just noticed an unusual file in the Macintosh HD root directory called "~". It says it was created today but modified yesterday! Its 557kb in size. Does anyone have any clues what this could be for?

no, but you can safely delete it. could be a temp file created by some program that was not removed cleanly.

LV project files view root directory

I want to understand the nature of the LabVIEW project files view root directory. I suppose the files there are installed by dotnet framework and LabVIEW and will be installed to the target machine by dotnet framework and LabVIEW installer, is it correct? I searched that mscorlib is a Microsoft DLL but I don't know why it has a LabVIEW icon.

mscorlib is the the fundamental assembly for the .NET Framework; critical for .NET integration into LabVIEW. the files shown in your screenshot shouldn't be installed in the project directory or the root of your drive; they should exist in the GAC. Windows (and thus LabVIEW) considers this a special folder. LabVIEW doesn't show this folder in your files list for this reason; they appear to be in "no folder".
Although why mscorlib has a LabVIEW icon - that's a good question. Given the amount of .NET integration in LabVIEW, mscorlib would be the key dependency for all of it regardless of the other actual .NET assemblies used. I guess they just gave it a LabVIEW icon because it would be so commonly in your dependencies list.

Too many files in root directory. How to split them up?

Hi,
I made my site http://isuckatgolf.net in Dreamwever cs3. Having no idea what I was doing when I started 5 years ago all images and pages have been uploaded directly to the root folder/directory. My host GoDaddy.com just sent me a notice that I'm only allowed 1024 folders/files in one directory. I have almost 7000 in the main site and 1500 in the database for the sub-domain/forum (SMF forum). According to Godaddy.com this is a rule of theirs, but it isn't posted anywhere that they could point me to. Only that I have a max. of 500,000 files total in my unlimited shared hosting account.
I'm looking for a new host that can handle the way it is set up today. My question is, IF I have to divide these files up into subfolders or directories (whatever they're technically called), is it possible and is there an "easy" way to do this in Dreamweaver. Obviously manually moving 7000 files will take some time. But can it be done, and do you think it will be necessary no matter who hosts the site?
Lastly, if I do find a host that is ok the way it is, going forward should I direct DW to put future images into an images folder of some kind. I never created one. Right now all the jpg, gif and html files are just listed. (I didn't know how to do it the right way when I started!)
Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks!

It does not make any difference where your files are stored as long as the path to the file is correct. Nancy's idea is correct, but you can have sub-folders to the sub-folders. For example, I will have an images folder and within the images folder I will have folders that refer to pages within my site. My images folder may look like
+images
     +index
          +thumbs
          +slides
     +gallery
          +holidays2012
               +thumbs
               +images
          +holidays2013
               +thumbs
               +images
          +golf
               +images
etc, etc.
That way it is easy to discover if there are any redundant images.
The same goes for the pages. You may have a products page with a couple of sub-pages. The directory would the be
index.html
aboutus.html
products.html
contactus.html
+products
     fencing_material.html
     sport_clothing.html
     solar_panels.html
etc, etc
As said, it really does not matter where the files are, with the exception of the index page which must always be in the root directory.
Good luck

Three Database Files Appear & Root Directory Icons Rearranged

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.5) from Lion on two of my Macs (15" MBP, Late 2011 & iMac 20" Early 2008). On both machines, seemingly at random, three database files appear on the root directory (sorry I can remember the names now) and all of the files/folders on the root directory are rearranged in alphabetical order. I have not been able to determine what triggers this action, but it is really annoying having to rearrange all of the file icons.
Anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how it can be "fixed"?
Thanks!
Gordon

Have you found an answer to this problem? I have found it happens in Safari > Preferences > Privacy. When you click on the Privacy icon header, instantly the 3 .db files appear and re-arrange all my files into alphabetical arrangement on my root directory (Mac Pro SSD). It will also behave this way when you choose "Reset Safari" from the drop down Safari menu.

Strange files in root directory

Yesterday I noticed that some strange files (directories, actually) had appeared in the root directory on my MacBook Pro, that is, the directory that contains the standard Finder-viewable Applications and System directories and the Unix bin and usr directories.
The new directory was named 5ffffffcb00, and it contained two other hex-named directories, which were empty. Perhaps foolishly, I trashed them yesterday. Nothing bad seems to have happened, but this morning they have all reappeared. Here's the output of "ls -alR /5ffffffcb00/":

Does anyone have any idea about these? They're visible in the Finder.

If your child pages are open when you update the Template, you need to save them again (after you have saved the Template).
You can update "all pages based on your template" at Modify > Templates > Update pages: Files that use... [choose the name of your template]
I'm also assuming that the changes that you are making are within the Ineditable Regions of your Template. Changes made in the Editable Regions will not, by design, change when you change that part of the Template.

Getting list of files in root directory

I have seen many forum talking somewhat on this subject but I always see them using c: (for windows) as the example directory. I need to write this so that I can go to a Unix directory.
Example:
I want to go to the root directory from where I am....I would use runtime.exec(), right? But does the runtime actually go to that directory or just run the exec?
If there was a "name" such as c: in unix like windows it would be easier. But, I can not just say the name of the directory is / to get in there and check out the files. So, really what I want to do is if someone is not in the particular directory I want to be able to go to the root directory and check files there, then go to another directory and check the files there, etc.
I have a hard time explaining things so hopefully someone will get me.
Thanks.

But the trouble I am running in to is that I want the
root directory in Unix, which would be /. I can not
not just put that as the directory, can i?You can if you spell it out:
/export/home/thefunnyrootename
... or use:
String sysprop = System.getProperty("whatever property");
File f = new File(sysprop);... To determine which you want, SDK v1.3.1 docs for System.getProperty():
getProperties
public static Properties getProperties()
    Determines the current system properties.
    First, if there is a security manager, its checkPropertiesAccess
method is called with no arguments. This may result in a security
exception.
    The current set of system properties for use by the
getProperty(String) method is returned as a Properties object.
If there is no current set of system properties, a set of system
properties is first created and initialized. This set of system
properties always includes values for the following keys:
    Key Description of Associated Value
    java.version Java Runtime Environment version
    java.vendor Java Runtime Environment vendor
    java.vendor.url Java vendor URL
    java.home Java installation directory

    line.separator Line separator ("\n" on UNIX)
    user.name User's account name
    user.home User's home directory
    user.dir User's current working directory
Note that even if the security manager does not permit the getProperties
operation, it may choose to permit the getProperty(String) operation.

.heu and .swz files in root directory

since a few days i'm finding some .heu and some .swz files in my root directory.
C3306B26751D6A80EB1FCB651912469AE18819AB.swz
etc.
7421C71F94DB4F028E7528B2D278F3FE4DC21273.heu
etc.
the .heu files are all 151 bytes, the .swz files a few to a few hundrets of kb in size.
what are they, where do they come from, and can i delete them without harming OS X?
they belong to my userid, group "admin", and have "-rw-r--r--" permissions.
all i found with google is they could be adobe flash support/cache files.

Humbug. For the OP, move the files to the Trash, restart, and see if anything changes. If not, empty the trash. IIRC, those are generated by Adobe apps, specifically Flash Playrer, and have no business being written to the root-level. Peruse the hits from a google search for *swz file type* and *heu file type*.

Unrecognized files in root (/) directory

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 8 20:45 080080800
Have I misconfigured some service? I've never seen these before.

Mystery solved.
They are temp files created by Sun Update Manager.
Here is the reply from Sun:
To view the forum, visit:

Topic "olderThan files" was updated by ForumModerator with the following message:
They are temp files used by the inverntory agent which should run once a day from root's crontab. Providing the inventory agent is not currently running it is safe to remove them all though they should be removed by the inventory agent towards the end of it's daily run anyway.
The inventory agent entry in crontab should look similar to the following -

Find The Txt Files in root directory

Iin Sql if we want to check a text fiile in root directory (D:\windows\commands\dil.txt) exists or not what is right way or right command for it
Thanks in Advance

Oracle beginner wrote:
utl_file.fgetattr('D:\windows\commands\', 'dil.txt', ex, flen, bsize);Wrong. Common mistake in thinking that the directory can be specified like that. It cannot. *+
Oracle does not allow direct access to server directories as this will be a security violation.
Instead, Oracle allows you to define a directory object that refers to a specific server directory. Once defined, read and write access on this object can be granted to schemas.
This then provides a security mechanism - requiring PL/SQL code to use a directory object and have access (read and/or write) to the object.
Secondly, it also support abstraction of the actual physical directory path. For example, the application code can use the directory object CSV_FILES - and the actual location can be implementation specific and differ from the mainframe Oracle server, to the Unix Oracle server to the Windows Oracle server.
Details on FGETATTR are in [Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#i1003488] guide.
* Please note that the old style utl_file_dir parameter has been discontinued in Oracle and its use is not recommended by Oracle and constitutes a pretty serious security violation if used.

No longer invisible files in root directory

Since upgrading my 12" Powerbook to Leopard I now notice that I am seeing all the system files at the top level of the hard drive. bin cores etc sbin usr var volumes. Even after upgrading to 10.5.2 they are still there. Is there an easy way to make them invisible again?

I've had this happen on a few machines, here's how to solve:
Open TextEdit
Create a documnet and put each visible item name you want to stay hidden on a line ie.:
bin
cores
etc
sbin
usr
var
volumes
Then go to the Format menu and select "Make Plain Text".
Now save the file as ".hidden" in the root (make sure you don't have the .txt extension & also uncheck "If no extension is provided, use .txt")
Now restart and those files will be hidden. Note: if you notice any items left out upon restart, you can reopen the ".hidden" file by recent documents.

WDTV Live has lost all content, Root Directory no longer showing on PC - HELP

Hi All, I disconnected my WDTV Live last night from my TV and connected directly to my router with a network cable. When I click on the WDTV under networks in my computer there is nothing there at all! no root folder, none of my files etc. I have tried dropping a new folder in there but it wont let me and the option to right click add new folder is not availble. When plugged back to the tv there is no file contents either, everything is gone. Please help, I'm runnning Windows 7, the WD still turns on, I have no files no root directory, NOTHING!

A co-worker of mine is having a very similar problem with her WD Media Hub. I was the one who helped her get it setup when she first purchased the media hub (a few years back) and so she came to me when she recently went to use it and it acted like as if there was no content on the thing at all. She brought me the device to work and i was able to get it connected to the network and access it via IE (using the web page at http://10.70.0.86:80/) but any attempt to connect directly via windows explorer fails. The hubs name is the default WDTVLiveHub and when I type in \\WDTVLIveHub\ in Windows Explorer it can’t find the device nor can I map a network drive to it. This is how we originally setup her media hub with content, using Windows Explore to copy a bunch of content. When I was able to access the device via IE at 10.70.0.86:80 I went to the System and selected Storage and in the drop down for device the drop down is blank with nothing to select. In the top right there as a red exclamation mark and when I selected it I got a warning saying the drive's was near capacity. This tells me the files are there but for some reason they can’t be accessed. I did a hard reset via the button on the bottom of the device but that did not fix the problem with accessing it via Windows Explorer. I told her to take it home and see if it will work for her when she hooks it up to her tv,.It’s definitely not a firmware update issue because she's not had it connected to the internet so any firmware update would have had to been done manually. Any feedback or troubleshooting suggestions is most welcome.

How can i get also the files in the root directory and how can i for testing add items of IEnumerable FTPListDetail to List string ?

What i get is only the directories and files that in other nodes. But i have also files on the root directory and i never
get them. This is a screenshot of my program after i got the content of my ftp. I'm using treeView to display my ftp content:
You can see two directories from the root but no files on the root it self. And in my ftp server host i have files in the root direcory.
This is the method i'm using to get the directory listing:
public IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> GetDirectoryListing(string rootUri)
var CurrentRemoteDirectory = rootUri;
var result = new StringBuilder();
var request = GetWebRequest(WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails, CurrentRemoteDirectory);
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
string line = reader.ReadLine();
while (line != null)
result.Append(line);
result.Append("\n");
line = reader.ReadLine();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.ToString()))
return new List<FTPListDetail>();
result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf("\n"), 1);
var results = result.ToString().Split('\n');
string regex =
@"^" + //# Start of line
@"(?<dir>[\-ld])" + //# File size
@"(?<permission>[\-rwx]{9})" + //# Whitespace \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filecode>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<owner>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<group>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<size>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<month>\w{3})" + //# Month (3 letters) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<day>\d{1,2})" + //# Day (1 or 2 digits) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<timeyear>[\d:]{4,5})" + //# Time or year \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filename>(.*))" + //# Filename \n
@"$"; //# End of line
var myresult = new List<FTPListDetail>();
foreach (var parsed in results)
var split = new Regex(regex)
.Match(parsed);
var dir = split.Groups["dir"].ToString();
var permission = split.Groups["permission"].ToString();
var filecode = split.Groups["filecode"].ToString();
var owner = split.Groups["owner"].ToString();
var group = split.Groups["group"].ToString();
var filename = split.Groups["filename"].ToString();
var size = split.Groups["size"].Length;
myresult.Add(new FTPListDetail()
Dir = dir,
Filecode = filecode,
Group = group,
FullPath = CurrentRemoteDirectory + "/" + filename,
Name = filename,
Owner = owner,
Permission = permission,
return myresult;
And then this method to loop over and listing :
private int total_dirs;
private int searched_until_now_dirs;
private int max_percentage;
private TreeNode directories_real_time;
private string SummaryText;
private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
searched_until_now_dirs++;
int percentage = 0;
foreach (var dir in directories)
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
if (recursive_levl == 1)
TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
UpdateList(temp_tn);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
foreach (var file in files)
TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
file_tree_node.Tag = "file" ;
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
return directoryNode;
Then updating the treeView:
DateTime last_update;
private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
last_update = DateTime.Now;
treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
And inside a backgroundworker do work how i'm using it:
var root = Convert.ToString(e.Argument);
var dirNode = CreateDirectoryNode(root, "root", 1);
e.Result = dirNode;
And last the FTPListDetail class:
public class FTPListDetail
public bool IsDirectory
get
return !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Dir) && Dir.ToLower().Equals("d");
internal string Dir { get; set; }
public string Permission { get; set; }
public string Filecode { get; set; }
public string Owner { get; set; }
public string Group { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string FullPath { get; set; }
Now the main problem is that when i list the files and directories and display them in the treeView it dosen't get/display
the files in the root directory. Only in the sub nodes.
I will see the files inside hello and stats but i need also to see the files in the root directory.
1. How can i get and list/display the files of the root directory ?
2. For the test i tried to add to a List<string> the items in var files to see if i get the root files at all.
This is what i tried in the CreateDirectoryNode before it i added:
private List<string> testfiles = new List<string>();
Then after var files i did:
testfiles.Add(files.ToList()
But this is wrong. I just wanted to see in testfiles what items i'm getting in var files in the end of the process.
Both var files and directoryListing are IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> type.
The most important is to make the number 1 i mentioned and then to do number 2.

Risa no.
What i mean is this. This is a screenshot of my ftp server at my host(ipage.com).
Now this is a screenshot of my program and you can see that in my program i have only the directories hello stats test but i don't have the files in the root: htaccess.config swp txt 1.txt 2.png....all this files i don't have it on my treeView.
What i want it to be is that on my program on the treeView i will also display the files like in my ftp server.
I see in my program only the directories and the files in the directories but i don't see the files on the root directory/node.
I need it to be like in my ftp server i need to see in my program the htaccess 1.txt 2.png and so on.
So what i wrote in my main question is that in the var files i see this files of the root directory i just don't know to add and display them in my treeView(my treeView is treeViewMS1).
I know i checked in my program in the method CreateDirectoryNode i see in the first iteration of the recursive that var files contain this root files i just dont know how to add and display them in my treeView.
On the next iterations when it does the recursive it's adding the directories hello stats test and the files in this directories but i need it to first add the root files.

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

Hello all,
I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory. Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory. I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest. I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose. I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option. The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip. Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
I would love some more advice on this. I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format. So far my experiments with this have failed. But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this). My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need. In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor. I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
Thanks!

I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut. At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit. I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
Thank you!

Setting up the class root directory and choosing class files.

I made a simple test application as it is proposed at the J2EE 1.4 Tutorial and all worked.
(Chapter 24 Getting started with Enterprise Beans)
Than I deleted the ear file to try out the deploy mechanism again.
And after generating the new application with File-> New application which worked well I also
tried to use the EJB Wizard feature of the J2EE deployment tool. After I had selected the appropriate EJB classes to add to my jar, I clicked NEXT and I got the following message:
The class (converter.Converter) could not be loaded:
Please consult online help for assistance in setting up the class root directory and choosing class files.
The online helps isnt very usefull for this type of problem.
Do you have a hint what to do ?

Hi san-deepu,
I couldn't reproduce the error you are having when I followed Ch. 24 tutorial in packaging the ear. Is there anymore information in deploytool's logfile? This is in <user_home>/.deploytool/logfile, or you can run in verbose mode: <as_install>/bin/deploytool -v
When you say you deleted the ear file, did you also close the ear file in deploytool first? You may also want to exit deploytool () , and try deleting the temporary files. Deploytool usually cleans up the temp files automatically upon exit - maybe there are some left behind that it couldn't delete. On windows the temporary files are located by default in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\sun-dt-Administrator. In deploytool go to Edit --> Preferences --> General to find what the temporary directory is set to.
Which version of the appserver are you using? jdk version? operating system?
J
