Zone information on download files - no longer in alternate data stream on Windows 7 or IE 8 ?

Hi,
In Windows XP and Vista, when IE (or messenger) download a file an alternate data steam named "Zone.Identifer" is created to store information about the zone the file orginated from. This was how Windows knew which files should have that "This file
came from another computer and might be blocked" with an "Unblock" button in the properites for such files. Of course, this only works if downloading to an NTFS volume.
Vista also added the /R option for DIR, which allows us to see the alternate data streams. I can easily confirm this behavior on my home PC, which is Vista.
But on my Windows 7 desktop at the office, there do not seem to be any alternate data streams on downloaded files. DIR /R shows no Zone.Identifier ADS for downloaded files, and "This file came from another computer and might be blocked" is not displayed
in the downloaded file properties.
Nonetheless, downloaded files are preserving zone information. If I download an HTML file from our Intranet, and then open the downloaded file in IE, it shows as being in the Intranet zone. If I then copy that file to a FAT partition and back
to my desktop, it then shows as being in the local Computer zone. So there is metadata that was removed by copying to/from FAT.
Any ideas what is happening here? How is the zone information being stored, if it is not in an ADS any more?

HMM I have the same problem. My researches suggest that the Zone.Identifier ADS is still being used for the internet zone, but not the Intranet zone. I too can get an intranet location out of IE, but not by querying Zone.Identifier eg using Powershell. This
issue is present in XP as well as Win 7. It appears to extend to trusted zone ids.
One hypothesis is that this is being stored in hidden form to prevent zone ids that decrease security being applied by malware.
I had thought that maybe the intranet zone id was only present during download - but your experiment suggests otherwise.

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

Incorrect download file for Oracle 9.2.0.1 for Windows server 2003

Hi,
I am trying to get hold of the Oracle 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows server 2003 from <http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html> the link is in the section "Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)", titled "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)"
I follow the links through and download the OUI and "9.2.0.1" software, however after downloading and unzipping the package it seems that the download was actually the 9.2.0.3 patch that cannot be installed without 9.2.0.1 installed first. I tried this on Friday and today with the same results.
Could you tell me how I get hold of the 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows Server 2003 please?
Thanks,
Mark Williams

As Windows 2003 is officially released this week, I believe Oracle will shortly announce which versions of the database will be supported on Windows 2003. Stay tuned.

Alternate data stream (ADS) removal does not update file time stamp.

Hello,
I am using standard CL program stream.exe to operate ads on file.
If I add ADS to file, file data\time will be changed.
F:\>dir
07/23/2014 06:43 PM            32,768 test.txt
F:\>stream cr test.txt:0 important_info
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is created.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
If I remove ADS from file, file data\time will be unchanged.
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
F:\>stream de tf1.txt:0
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is deleted.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
Is it a normal behavior? I suspect a defect in stream.exe.

Hi,
This depends on that if the stream.exe contains the related code like SetFileTime when play the deleting action.
SetFileTime function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724933(v=vs.85).aspx
So we may need your resource code about de of stream.exe to determine the issue.

Cannot download files - or even post here?????????

I started a topic in this thread that I couldn't download files any longer from sites such as Rapidshare - after a few minutes of downloading at 56.7 kbps the connection appears to be lost and the download rate drops to zero. If I attempt to re-download I get to maybe 4 or 6 mb then the connection is lost again. This happens every time on every file and no matter how long I leave it the connection does not restore, so file downloads are now impossible.
I'm on BT broadband and they say the line is fine with a connection speed of 576 kbps download, but there appears to be some kind of intermittent break which loses the connection - web browsing is fine but there are a lot of blue address bar hang-ups and error messages "lost network connection" or "Safari could not connect to the server" which never used to happen. I have made no changes to the Mac other than Apple's own software updates.
When I tried to post this earlier I got the Safari can’t open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/post!post.jspa” because it could not connect to the server “discussions.apple.com” message.. as usual... so it took me two attempts to even post... anyone else having these problems, and what's the cure or cause?

It appears I cannot edit this message despite being logged in and able to reply, so here's a post-script I was not allowed to add earlier:
P.S. - here's an interesting point - when I went to close Safari I got the "download in progress" message - my two test downloads have not yet stopped having been running in the background all this time although the total downloaded, 6.4 mb and 12.9 mb are unchanged with a total running time estimated as 17 hours 13 minutes left. The download speed is now 3.1 kbps per second. Why are my downloads so constricted as to be almost impossible??? I can't fathom this at all....
Why couldn't I edit my own message despite being still logged in? Something very funny is going on here...

TED talks from ipadair2 don't play on appletv2 from downloaded files

I only have a 2mbs internet connection. TED talks from ipadair2 do not play on appletv2 from downloaded files but they do play from streaming? This only started recently, maybe after an update, it did work both ways before. the same happens with my iphone5s!

The songs somehow became corrupted when they transferred to new computer from old computer. Thankfully, I had another computer with iTunes and transferred them via firewire.

Cannot download files via Bluetooth since upgrading to Yosemite

I cannot download files, E.G. photos and spreadsheets, from my Windows phone to my MacBook Pro Retina since upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite.
I can send files from the MacBook Pro to the Windows phone.
Tried resetting PRAM, no luck
Tried unpairing and repairing all devices, no luck
Tried dumping "bluetooth.plist", no luck
Tried cold start & Resart after each, no luck
Devices are paired. Bluetooth Sharing is on.
Help!

PROBLEM SOLVED:
Go to "System Preferences" - "Sharing" - "Bluetooth Sharing" - "Folder for selected items:", and select a folder."
No folder is selected.
Prior to the upgrade the Folder had been set to "Downloads", so I reset it to "Downloads" and it now works.
Praise the Lord!!

Scripting a file name change as a data merge element.

My goal of the work being done with InDesign is to utilize the Data Merge functionality of InDesign and the, already available, ability to create a new document per record in your data source where the docuement name is changed based on data contained in the data source.
A very simple example of this would be the following:
EXAMPLE
======================
Given the following data source in excel:
First_Name
Last_Name
ResultingFileName
George
Smith
c:\A45.pdf
Mary
Lopez
c:\C99.pdf
Steve
Barns
c:\tmp\XM96TR.pdf
Along with a simple two text box InDesign documents, I would perform a standard data merge with First_Name linked to one text box and Last_Name linked to another. By setting the “Record Limits Per Document” to 1, I would end up with three different documents. By default, the documents would be named Untiltled-1, Untiltled-2 and Untitled-3.
Untitled-1 would contain George and Smith. Untitled-2 would contain Mary and Lopez and Untitled-3 would contain Steve and Barns.
At this point in time, I would run the new created script, which would do the following:
            Rename Untitled-1 to A45 and/or save Untitled-1 as C:\A45.pdf
            Rename Untitled-2 to C99 and/or save Untitled-2 as C:\C99.pdf
            Rename Untitled-3 to XM96TR and/or save Untitled-3 as c:\tmp\XM96TR.pdf
I am open to modifying the manner in which the data merge source is created. For example, separating the path and the file name into separate columns. In addition, I am flexible in putting preset information and/or file save types into the data merge document.
Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Matt,
I think it’s better to use an XML-based approach for your task.
I’ve never scripted Data Merge process, but I don’t see a straightforward way of doing it. May be you can create the 3rd textbox on pasteboard or a non-printing layer, which will contain the file path from ‘ResultingFileName’ field, and the contents from which can be used for naming & saving the current file and exporting it to pdf-file. But this approach is so clumsy.
Instead, you’d better to keep your data in excel file, or even better Access or some other database program.
Export the data from it in XML-format.
Then import it to an InDesign file and process it by script. XML support is very powerful in InDesign: you can process your data by xml-rules. I once made a script for a newspaper, which processed data for classified ads. The script applied all formatting, changed colors for different headings and placed images.

Why are my files no longer downloading?

After converting a PDF into a word document; when I try to download the file nothing happens. So I click on the files tab and select the document I want to download and I get a messsage saying files not found. Why are my files no longer downloading?

What do you have your options set as in a Finder window?
Mine are set as "none" and show up alphabetically.
P.S. That is assuming you are referring to a Finder window? If not, please be a bit more specific.

I need some information about File Download & File Upload

Hi All,
Can any one help me on this, I need some information about File Download & File Upload.
I read tutorial abt file upload and download but some of methods in tutorial are deprecated so i need clear information abt File upload and Download, if possible Code examples.
Thanks
Ragards
Ravi Golla

Hi Ravi
Check out thses links for examples:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71
/docs/DOC-8661#22 [original link is broken]

Otherwise you can simply follow this code for file download
Use the code like this.
1) Create the button and bind the action for it.
2)then write this code in the action.
3) do not write any thing in the init method.
try {
final byte[] content = this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath("C:
xyz.properties");
final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
try {
final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "WD_Filedownload", false);
window.open();
catch(Exception e)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
5) writr the method getByteArrayFromResourcePath
//@@begin others
private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath)
throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int len;
byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
while ((len = in.read(part)) != -1) {
out.write(part, 0, len);
in.close();
return out.toByteArray();
//end
Similarly for file upload
Similarly for upload in to server path also do the same
IWDAttributeInfo attInfo =
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("upload");
binaryType =
(IWDModifiableBinaryType) attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
uploadedName = binaryType.getFileName();
File filename =new File("
<server name>
<folder name>
"+uploadedName ); );
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
out.write(b);
out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

Dreamweaver 4 no longer working after downloading files created with MX

I downloaded files that were created with Dreamweaver MX to
my pc in order to update them for a new client. I've been using
Dreamweaver 4 and now I cannot even open Dreamweaver 4. Luckily I
also have Dreamweaver 8 installed and can view all the files in the
site from there, but what would have caused Version 4 to generate
errors upon trying to open? It starts to open and I can see that
the properties panel is disabled and then I get the error message:
"Dreamweaver has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience." I've sent the error report to
MS...
Any thoughts other than to use Version 8 from now on? Since
I'm a designer, I do have quite a few client sites that I'd have to
reset the remote site info for...
Thanks.

a guess- you also downloaded the .mno design note files.
There should be a technote on this-
It talks about contribute 2, but it's same exact issue with
MX and newer
Dreamweaver 4 crashes on Contribute 2 sites
Issue
Dreamweaver 4 crashes whenever it connects to a site that has
recently been
accessed by Contribute 2.0, 2.01 (Windows) and Dreamweaver MX
2004.
Reason
Contribute 2 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 design notes on remote
server or local
site folder are not compatible with Dreamweaver 4.
Dreamweaver 4 tries to
read these files and crashes when it cannot.
steps to fix are next- link below.

My Download folder no longer shows downloaded files

I have a MacBook. I changed nothing that I know of. Suddenly when I download files they say they're going to the Download folder but when I open the folder to retrieve (or clean out) old files, there's nothing visible. It appears the file is empty.
I have no other option to choose from while downloading. They just automatically go to the folder. Yet the folder's empty.
What am I doing wrong? Where are the files?
I do NOT have a Download folder in my deck. (Never have.)
How do I fix this? (I need to download files from work and many of them don't allow me to "Save" as.
Any help here?
Thanks!

Hi ...
Assuming you are using Safari ... might be a corrupted preference file (.plist)
Quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Safari
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try downloading a file.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

Why is a file download taking so long?

I am trying to download file 2 for Premier pro and it says it will take over 3 hours to download. I cannot understand why and what should I do.
I'll note that I have a broadband cable internet connection so the internet connection doesn't seem to be the problem.

Try using a different browser and see if that helps.
Another thing you could try is to skip downloading thru the Adobe download assistant system and use the direct ProDesign system instead.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
