let me try to explain what i thinked some days ago, i was using some card-printer, that has a bug, and from time to time i must execute some commands, but i dont need to bo there, or even logon remotly to make it, i create a batch that is executed from times to time
so i thinked this
hfs has a login system, right?
hfs allow upload for certain folders and for the right users(if configured to do it, of course) right?
so if in my vfs i put a upload folder, password protected
i upload a file with some commands on it like admin-cmd.bat
and at my hfs machine there is a app that is monitoring that particular folder, looking for a particular filename, in a timed check(at every minute, or every second...) defined by me(the user)
and the command file(the batch) is executed, and then after finished the execution, it will be deleted, and the app will keep the monitoring drill, until got another upload to execute again
would that be cool?
imagine
since we can upload templates
and we can upload ini files
we gain some new cool ways to interact with the hfs
imagine i upload a hfs.ini file with some "templatename.tpl" defined on it
i upload the second file the template, with the name as it is inside the hfs.ini
and then i upload a batch to call the ini, with the template info on it, and BUM i changed my template remotly....
got it?
there must be some other cool uses to it, but be aware, that if you use this app to monitore and look for a file called some-stupidname.bat and inside it there is a command to kill your pc, it is your fall
since you can protect the folder, with password
and only you will know the name of the file that the monitor is expecting
well
i will try to improve the app, but now i wanna know, if someone here like the idea, im using it, and i will improove it and his usage....
status = working
todo = many things... any suggestions?
