Bug reports / HFS was not ablöe to save settings, now all gone

« on: May 20, 2008, 06:08:41 AM »

Hello,

 after weeks (or months) of operation if just reported that it is unable to save settings (etc) and restart.

Seems that computer diskspace was 0 bytes But I did not check it before restarting HFS, ir reported of saving data into Registry, but guess what registry was on same disk.

That was our fault, but if it is just possible to add some failsafe into this that HFS could try to save information on secondary locations if available???

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Feature request: HFS Client

Hello,

If anyone is interested I am doing one of my own. I think I publish it as Freeware or Opensource, not sure yet.  If you are interested in testing this let me know.

Currently it has following features
 1. Send One file
 2. Credential (username & opassword) support
 3. Should also work without authorization (not tested yet)
 4. All settings can be initialized from commandline
 5. has /autostart parameter which starts sending and closes program automatically
 6. Progressbar / Bytes sent support
 7. Currently hard coded retrying on error (10 times), not thoroughly tested yet
 8. Checks if the file is already at directory, if present gives an error
 9. Should return error level 0..5 on some known situations, and http error codes if
    HTTP related related (like 401 for unauthorized) 

Following features I am going to implement before release.

  1. Sending of multiple files
  2. Wildcard (simple) support to filenames to send
  3. Some configurable incremental wait time on errors
    (if conenction brakes or server is rebootting give server time to do so)
  4. Some minor tweaks
  5. Proxy support (can't test it tough) 

If someone at HFS-developing team is reading this I have couple questions. Howmany files I can send as multipart stram. There is name for that file, I think webform has 8 possible, if I recalll. Is there some upper limit to it (beside client/server machine memory). How I can delete file remotely??

Ok,

I looked at WGet, and it seems (to me) have only downloading features, I need upload.

WPut seems to have only FTP-support.

If someone knows good tool like WPut/WGet which could be used to send/upload files to HFS, I am all ears. If not if someone from HFS team could give some pointers how to implement one. I could do it with Delhi with Indy library.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Feature request: HFS Client

OK,

Let me try once more, sorry about my bad English...

1. There is HFS-Server running at hfs.mydomain.com
2. I have CLIENT-computer running anywhere in internet
3. I need to send file from CLIENT to HFS from commandline
4. I suggested that I could write an client if there is no one already
   if I just get enough information to do so.

And the "maybe to be made" hfsclient's commandline API I suggested in previous post.

Addition to previous posts there shoud be owerwriteall option, that would overwrite present file, and maybe autorenameifpresent option also, but that discussion I leave for distant future

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Feature request: HFS Client

« on: October 15, 2007, 11:06:57 AM »

Hello,

I was pondering would it be too difficult to make Commandline client which would know how to interact with HFS.

I think HFS is written with Delphi. If I can get good hint's I could write one my self and publish it.

It would be like

hfsclient.exe /f:"C:\Backups\My Backup.zip" /s:"http://backup.domain.com:21212/client1/backups/" /un:"username" /pw:"password"

And return value of exe regarding if it was successful.

Maybe some /rt:4 to retry 4 times before giving final verdict of was the sending successful or not.

of course some wild card support

hfsclient.exe /f:"C:\Backups\*.zip" /s:"http://backup.domain.com:21212/client1/backups/" /un:"username" /pw:"password"

Any feedback / help is welcome...
