HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Conditional Limits

« on: October 10, 2010, 03:30:34 AM »

I am trying to implement a solution wherein Anonymous users get speed/connection limits on downloads. However, registered users get full burst.

Is it doable in single instance of HFS or do I need two running, 1 for anonymous and 1 for registered people ?

1. can you tell how did the "enable recursive listing" affect the problem?

I have disabled recursive listing on both instances but had not helped

2. what can you say about the load the "android dedicated server" is getting? some number?

The average number of connections is around 25 constantly. Peak time it goes around 90+.
Average hourly data transfer on that IP (as per reports from my DC) ranges 7GB+ with filesizes in range of 80-200 MB.

3. try removing the "archivable" flag for the home/root folder, and see if this affects in any way.

Archivable was already disabled when this started happening

-------------------------

Could it be because of the app log and graph running and causing crash on high number of connections. Also just saw a *dump-bin file in HFS directory last modified on 15th Aug....its about 10 MB...I can send you the link for that if it helps

I narrowed it down to the following scenario :

There is a newest development on Android side for HTC HD2 over at xda-developers and when a Chef releases new ROM, people go crazy worldwide. This sudden rush of connections (if HFS runs without Limits) , crashes it.

I had to start a seperate instance of HFS just for serving these Android folders and havent had crash in last day or so.

How can we debug this better application wise ? I am ready to fully cooperate with rejetto and provide RDP access to the server if he wants to take a look.

OK...I think HFS is not able to handle high loads... I have set the tray icon to show Number of connections and when it dies, the tray icon count keeps rising and rising...see image

I have tried setting limits etc but its not working. When its stuck and you try to open HFS it opens the Window frame and nothing inside. Right click menu opens a blank menu without options. It stops responding totally. Only way is to kill task and restart it.

File types are zip/rar with size range 80MB to 200MB and I get high load !

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Refuse File Download

I added the following in for png files :

[+download]
{.disconnection reason|Forbidden file|if={.match|*.png.}.}

...but HFS is still serving them...is it supposed to restart to take in effect ?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Exec on button trigger

« on: August 19, 2010, 08:06:24 AM »

I wanted to have a button next to each file in last column which when clicked is supposed to call an exe with the full file path as argument.

In then [+file] section , I added following in last column :
<form><input type='submit' onClick="{.exec|C:\prog.exe|out=#temp.}"></form>

however, this seems to be getting called for each file that is being 'displayed' and not waiting for any clicks....can someone guide me to a proper way of doing this ... also page needs to refresh once exe is done

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Refuse File Download

« on: August 18, 2010, 10:09:47 AM »

OK...Now I know the filters concept...but my setup as just the root folder setup as "Real Folder" and there are MANY folders and files served from within it....Many people have put their image files (jpg/png) and serving through HFS which causes lot of connections

How do I restrict HFS to allow only certain file types to be downloaded (or vice versa) ... not just hide them because people have direct links to these images in forums and causes lots of connections during peak time

Ok...will monitor couple of days now ...also Persistent Connections somehow had become unchecked...could that be the root cause ?

Beta / Beta 260/262 hangs

« on: August 13, 2010, 10:59:26 AM »

For the last few days, HFS hangs under high load. When I wake up its hung with Tray Icon showing 450 connections and climbing and not reducing at all, like HFS just stops responding to them but keeps receiving.

I have high usage during US days (server stays contant at around 80-90 Mbps) and thats when this has started happening. I have set connection timeout to 10 secs in an effort to kill dormant ones but didnt help. Even set limits of connections to 300 but no use.

Any ideas on how to properly debug this situation ?

I did that but how does that help restrict new download session from opening for a 'particular' file ?

How do I indicate to HFS that file xyz.abc is the one which should no longer be downloadable but only listed.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Locking Files

« on: July 18, 2010, 10:43:55 AM »

Is there a way to "Lock" files which are being listed from new download requests ?

I am sorry tried searching but didnt find anything relevant 

My server has files which are download continously from all over the world and if I want to delete/move/rename a file its already locked by HFS....so how can I prevent fresh download requests on that file to be denied.
