FHFS / Re: FHFS having issues with special characters in file names

« on: May 09, 2014, 02:25:53 PM »

Interesting, would it be possible to change the "generate random url's (for public uploads)" option in FHFS so that it doesn't append the filename to the end of the randomly generated url? That way we could avoid the # in URLs.

...and HFS doesn't like unicode either? That's a pain, but I suppose we could rename files we want to send.  Thanks for the help, if you happen to think of a workaround or anything else, you can pm me whenever!

FHFS / FHFS having issues with special characters in file names

« on: April 09, 2014, 03:57:13 PM »

Hello, I've been working with FHFS for a fair bit now and it's been great but we've been noticing some links that we were sending to people were giving a 404 file not found error.

I dug a little deeper yesterday and found that this was happening only with files with a "#" in their name.  I didn't test any other special characters because our file names don't contain any, but I was wondering if anyone had a fix or workaround (besides renaming files).

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'd gladly check it out if you'd like some feedback, just send me a PM with the download whenever you want!

So after a few PM's and some playing, we pinpointed the issue with account creation.  Apparently if you create an account with an account name that has any capitol letters in it, you won't be able to log into that account. 

Luckily Raybob was able to quickly come up with a fix:

OK it turns out that just by the nature of HFS the usernames are supposed to be made lowercase internally before they're stored... that wasn't happening so you can either use this patched file or just remember to put lowercase names in I suppose.

The not updating the accounts list is still a mystery, but the next day it was working again for me, so I couldn't look at that issue.

Thanks again!

FHFS / Re: How to hide delete account option

That doesn't remove the actual functionality itself, anyone who knows the function exists can just type the page directly in the URL.

True Enough, I suppose you could theoretically delete the delete-confirm.tpl file to make sure they couldn't access it after doing the changes I suggested?

Also I'm pretty sure there's an option in the administrator console to easily disable account deletion but I must ask: why would you want to do that?  I think that users who create their accounts should be able to delete them.

I thought I checked all the options in the admin console and didn't see the option. I saw the option to disable deleting of files, but not the account itself. 

I'm not sure about lucky, but I wanted to disable account deletion because I had set up accounts specifically for employees, and I didn't want those employees to be able to delete their accounts (say if they were let go, or even just by accident, the things people do accidentally never cease to amaze me).

FHFS / Accounts not updating in admin console

« on: January 23, 2014, 03:32:41 PM »

Hello again, I've run into another issue now that I've started to put fhfs into use.  I went to delete an account from the admin console, and after it said it was deleted the account was still there.  You aren't able to log into the account, but it won't disappear from the menu after countless restarts and refreshes of the web browser, server, etc.

That's not a huge problem, just kind of an eyesore and mildly annoying, but possibly related is my issue of creating accounts. It lets me create them no problem through the admin console, it creates a directory and a user in HFS, but still the admin console won't update with the new users, and won't let me log in with them.

Any suggestions?

FHFS / Re: Expiration date for download links possible?

« on: January 13, 2014, 08:39:48 PM »

I figured that would be the answer and I could change the shared ID or rename them manually, I was just hoping for one less thing for my thinly stretched brain to remember to do.

Thanks again for the quick response!

FHFS / Expiration date for download links possible?

« on: January 13, 2014, 03:58:45 PM »

Hello again raybob! I was wondering if it would be possible to modify or add some lines of code to have the download links expire  after a few days. I see a lot of places doing this now, and it seems like a good idea for security reasons (who needs someone going back and downloading files you sent them a year ago, and eating your bandwidth).  Thanks in advance for any help!

Rejetto, that looks like the web interface for fhfs, i've been working with it all day so it caught my eye!

Lucky, it looks like you have installed a kind of a modified version of hfs called fhfs, there is a sub forum here for support for fhfs which is where this should have probably been posted. 

I was bored at work so I took a look and found where that 'delete my account' code is located in the html document.  Go to where the files for fhfs are installed, find "footer-new", open it with notepad and find the line that says "<a href="/~delete-confirm" class="footlink" style="margin:4px; ">Delete my Account</a>

Delete that line and save, and that should remove the delete my account option from the footer.  There will still be one of those seperating vertical lines, there so it won't look as pretty, but if you want, you can play around with the code to see how to remove it.

*Disclaimer* I don't work with rejetto or raybob, and have very limited experience with html, so make sure to make backups, and change the code at your own risk! Also, there very well may be some administrator option somewhere to do this easily without modifying html code...

FHFS / Re: Increasing Public Upload Limit

« on: January 08, 2014, 05:05:44 PM »

Ok, so, pulling from way back when I took a few coding and html classes in highschool, I was able to decipher that the limit is set in the "main page html.tpl" file in the install folder and found the variable "max_file_size" which I changed from "40mb" to "1000mb" to get the desired result.  (you can open this in your basic notepad)

If you also search for "limits", you can edit that line to display your new limit and whatever else you'd like to say.

Hope this helps someone else in the future, thanks again raybob for the brilliant software!

FHFS / Increasing Public Upload Limit

« on: January 08, 2014, 03:22:05 PM »

Firstly I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome program (as per the Author's notes!), it's been a huge help so far in distributing files. 

I already PM'd raybob, but I figured I might as well post publicly as well incase anyone else has this question or can help me.  I was wondering if there is a way to increase the public upload limit. 40 MB is on the small side for the files I need uploaded to me. I've searched through all the admin console settings and only saw the option to enable or disable public uploading. I also searched through the HFS gui on my server and didn't see any options there either.  Thanks in advance for all your help!
