HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Win 7 x64 Issue with Context Menu

« on: April 11, 2010, 08:14:28 PM »

When I to get HFS to add entries for the Context Menu it gives me an error and says, "you may lack necessary rights".

How can I fix this?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Counterspy thinks HFS is a trojan

« on: July 18, 2009, 01:36:23 AM »

I use Counterspy for spyware and suddenly I noticed I couldn't run HFS after a recent update of Counterspy.

I then realized that it not only blocked HFS but quarantined it from my system. I checked it and it's fine. I got the latest build, scanned it with NOD32 and it was fine. Counterspy scanned it and again said it was a trojan and recommended quarantine. I added it to the Always Allow list so I'm okay now but you might want to contact someone at Sunbelt Software to find out why they're doing this.

The message is as follows:

Server-FTP.Win32.SFH, Trojan FTP

Believe me, I understand the challenges and support your efforts. Thanks for the link.

An option to have it just bring each file down sequentially would solve my issue. Thus, optionally, don't put it in a tar. I check 8 of 10 files and 8 of 10 come down as is one at a time.

I hear what all are saying. Forgive me but I'm a long-time development manager and the issue still remains. It's not a big deal but excuses are still excuses. I'm simply pointing out something I found to be lacking in the case of novice users and pointed it out. Work-around solutions always exist but they're still exactly that--they exist solely because the product doesn't provide for it itself. It's little different than if Microsoft attempted to not include a spelling checker in Word simply because users could always use a dictionary or get some other solution from another provider. If you think that's silly then you don't know your history. This was once the case, and excuse, for not having it in the earliest versions of Word (and other word processors). Each vendor found it made for a much better product offering to just provide the missing feature themselves.

Again, don't take this the wrong way. I'm not being critical here. I'm a fan. I'm just a picky one that strives for completeness.

mars.... Thanks but you miss the point. If novices say to me, "How can I get that file?" and my answer is that they have to install another piece of software, they're not interested in that and it reduces the value of HFS in their mind.

I'm trying to find a solution that keeps the product down to being totally self-reliant.

I'm in XP right now (SP3). No WinZip to be found anywhere. What OS' include WinZip?

Tar just won't work in my world. I share files with complete neophytes. Installing something else means it's too complicated.

Thus that was the main reason I was asking for the ability of THAT type of challenged user to be able to select a group of files (among more) and have them just come down sequentially.

No need for additional software. No need for additional explanation.

Thanks for the info though.

Two issues:

1. How in the UI is that accomplished? I'm assuming that's what Folder Archive does? If so, excellent. I've never paid attention to that before.

2. TAR? Can we not get a ZIP? Zip is far more useful here. Windows users are not likely to have TAR support handy.

There still could be the need to select just, say, 8 of 10 files.

Just a quick note that I finally got around to recommending HFS in my blog....

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Add Support For Multi-Select?

Would it be possible to add support for the user to check off multiple files to download? I often will put up a group of photos and family and friends complain that it's too much of a hassle to grab them all one-by-one. I thought it might be simple to add a check box option so that they can just check 20 photos and have them come down sequentially.

Not talking about YOUR reply. I'm talking about the other chatter that went on.

Guys, I'm hardly being "impatient".

I asked a simple question months after the original comment. It's that simple. I'm not upset. I'm not in a rush. I just asked if it had happened in case I missed it.

What happened after I asked that basic, straight-forward question was a complete mystery.
