Everything else / Newbies

« on: August 25, 2006, 10:16:25 PM »

Some of us have been around for awhile.  What are the requirements to get out of the "Newbie" Status?

Edit:
Just noticed that rejetto is a newbie too.   There must be something that didn't get configured yet.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / A couple of requests

« on: May 11, 2006, 05:37:43 PM »

1. would it be possible to add a wordwrap option when using the edit HTML template function?

2. when selecting autohide empty folders, all empty folders are hidden.  Would it be possible to hide all empty folders *except* for the real upload folder if it is empty?  That way the upload function and folder would be available to anyone with uploading privileges to upload something if they want to.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / HFS Error/Information Messages

« on: May 07, 2006, 10:51:19 PM »

I switched back from v2.1 beta 1 to v2.0 FINAL.  Ever since then everytime I load HFS the following messages pop-up.





What file is the first message referring to?  What file am I to manually save or load as said in the second message?  Better information is needed in those messages.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / using with DAP

« on: February 25, 2006, 10:40:58 AM »

btw, if i kick connections DAP doesn't automatically retry downloading the file. is there a way to do it?

Just tested here.  Started a download with DAP.  10 downloads per file started. (no limits set in HFS).  Kicked all connections.  They were gone.  Then DAP automatically started them all over again where they left off before.  Works here.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Let Download Feature

« on: February 10, 2006, 06:53:07 AM »

Similar to the "Let Browse" feature, I would think a "Let Download" feature would be useful.  I know that this has been asked for a couple of times before but I don't recall seeing any reply.

Maybe this can't be done, or maybe it is not a good idea, or maybe it is just not useful.  Anyway, Comments anyone?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / On-The-Fly Virus Checking

« on: February 10, 2006, 06:29:12 AM »

New on-the-fly Feature Request:[/u]

A feature that I wouldn't mind seeing (from my BBS days ) is on-the-fly server side  virus checking[/b] after an upload is received.  If the file passes the virus check, it goes into the upload folder making it available for download.  If it doesn't, it goes into a junk folder, to be deleted by admin.  The person who uploaded the file would be shown the results of the virus check.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / [upload-failed]

« on: February 08, 2006, 06:49:30 PM »

Is [upload-failed]  in the template still valid?  If so what triggers it?  (an aborted or partial upload doesn't activate it).

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Wrong File Icons

« on: January 06, 2006, 01:41:31 PM »

V2.00 beta 34

My HFS is showing the wrong "file" icons in the pages displayed as well as in the virtual file system.

The folder icon is correct but all of the file icons are wrong.  In fact there is only the same 1 icon shown for all of the different types of files.  And this 1 icon that is shown is wrong to begin with.

Any ideas on how to fix the file icons that HFS uses and displays?  I tried dragging files into a temporary vfs folder as well as into the root in the VFS in an attempt to extract icons but these icons were wrong also?  My Windows XP Pro SP2 shows icons correctly.

Is this a bug and can it be fixed?  I tried everything I can think of and it just isn't working.  I am out of ideas on this one.  Can anybody help?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Progress Bar Not Working

« on: January 05, 2006, 05:29:44 PM »

I notice that the progress bar stopped working for the newer versions of Opera (currently using v8.51 - it worked in v7.54 and older).  It's not working in Netscape 7.2.  It didn't work in the older versions of Firefox either.  Don't know if it works in the newer version of Firefox as I don't have it on my system right now.  Also, not sure if it works in IE as I don't use it.

[progress-upload-file] and [progress-download-file]
.
.
<div style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:20px;">
<span class=out_bar><span class=in_bar style="width:%perc%px"></span></span><br><span class=perc>%perc%%</span></div>

Is there a bug or is the progress bar not compatible with the newer and some older browsers?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / FIND your REAL IP addresses (WAN & LAN)

« on: December 30, 2005, 03:02:27 AM »

There has been quite a few posts lately about IP addresses and which ones to use when configuring HFS and router.  Here is a small (7.7KB) freeware utility that will quickly answer those questions for you.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Run HFS as a SERVICE - info here!

« on: September 14, 2005, 07:42:39 AM »

There have been many times when users of HFS were asking if HFS can be run as a service.  

I have come across a small utility that will run ANY app as a service.  Here is some info in case you are interested:

DESCRIPTION

AppToService is a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Unicode console application that lets you run regular applications and servers as Windows services. This allows you to have some of the benefits of a Windows service, such as the ability to run an application even when no user is logged on the computer, the ability to run an application under a specified user account, the ability to allow an application to survive logoff/logon sequences, hence saving the overhead of re-starting it for each new user, and so on. For instance, you can run a dialer application as a service to automatically connect a computer to the Internet following unattended reboots.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

For each application that you need to run as a service, simply execute AppToService with the appropriate parameters to create a service encapsulating the application. You can manage services created with AppToService using any Windows service manager such as the Services applet or the Net console application from the Command Prompt. When the service is no longer needed, remove it by executing AppToService with the appropriate parameters.

When an AppToService service starts, it opens the client application associated with it. When the service stops, it closes the client application. If the client application closes while the service is running, the service automatically stops.

Code: [Select]

url is deadHFS has been tested running as a windows service on XP SP2 with this small utility and it works PERFECTLY.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Adding a Logo Question

« on: March 31, 2005, 01:00:43 PM »

.
I would like to put a logo (gif) on the top of all my pages. My site consists of a huge amount of menus and folders. The only way that I can think of to get the logo to show up on the top of all pages is to add the logo file to each menu and folder (virtual or real) in HFS and of course use <img scr="..."> in the tpl. This method works but it is a very slow task to do and doing it this way makes HFS request and re-load the logo file over and over again each time the page changes. Then if I make changes to these folders or add new ones or make a change to my logo, I have to add the logo file manually again and again.  There has got to be a better way to do this.

Can someone tell me if there is a html code that I could use in hfs.tpl that would automatically add the logo to the top of every page without me having to add the logo file to all the menus and folders? In otherwords, have HFS automatically read the logo file from the root for all requested pages and/or have the logo file cached in memory for all pages loaded similar to the way HFS handles icons.  In addition, is there a html code that will automatically shrink or stretch the logo to fit the user's screen width resolution?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
