HTML & templates / Re: Limits to uploaded files by size?

« on: July 27, 2015, 08:27:39 AM »

I did this search, and this another search, and I've found that FHFS may be your solution, according to this:

Improve: Uploader.js now specifies the max account size as the max file size also to prevent very large single-file uploads that can exceed the limit (uploader.js)

You may try the latest FHFS version (2.1.2), and find out how "Uploader.js" works. May be raybob can help you better than me. I currently don't have FHFS installed.
Good luck...

I second your comments, Valeriy. HFS is truly great.
(I'm sure Rejetto will appreciate your message too).
Feel free to report any problem (if you found any).

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Folder and File Icons not showing up for users

« on: July 04, 2015, 07:02:56 PM »

...eventual hfs does load the picture: .net:192/~img_folder I think the "~" is a programming Break that is stopping hfs to going to the folder path to get icon for images...

The "~" is perfectly normal in HFS, even in the latest version.

Doing a Google search, I've found this...

IMHO, this seems to be the easiest solution:

<img src="http://your-hfs-server.com/online.png" alt="status" onerror="this.src='files/offline.png'" />

"The setup is: An online icon (online.png) on the remote server [the HFS Server] you want to see the status of. An offline icon (offline.png) on the server that is going to show the status page." [Source]

Let us know which solution worked, if any of them do please!

@sittingduck: Just wondering, how about sharing your HFS Server address, so we can test it and see what's going on? (and try to help you). Thank you...

It may be a false positive, but VirusTotal.com says your file package may have a virus. It's weird, since official HFS builds are not marked as virus by VirusTotal, unless you've uploaded a custom build of HFS. Anyway, I'm not saying your file is infected, it's just a warning to be careful, just in case.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: HFS Not Working

« on: May 29, 2015, 08:50:31 AM »

briesmith (and specially bmartino1): IMHO, before configuring access groups, and the HFS interface (templates), the priority here is getting external access correctly, so we must solve this problem first. Your installed HFS server, seems to be working fine (on port 6881). As you said earlier, you have a NoIP Plus subscription, and since your HFS is working fine on port 6881, "the most easy way to solve your problem" (this is my motto), is setup a "Port 80 Redirect".

What is a "Port 80 Redirect"? According to NoIP support:

This service is designed to send your hostname to our redirect server. Our redirect server then points your hostname to the IP address and port you provided. This service is most commonly used for users running a web server that is being blocked on port 80 and do not want to enter in the port number after their host. This change can take five minutes (300 seconds) to be live.

Source: http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/dns-host-types/

So, what's next?:
You must configure your No-IP Hostname. So, go to your No-IP Account, and then "Manage Hosts", and select your domain. In the "Host Type" section, select the option "Port 80 Redirect", and then on "Port", write "6881". Save changes, and bingo! ...in a few minutes you must be up and working!



If you still have trouble configuring a "Port 80 Redirect", and have a "No-IP subscription", you can have free technical support from No-IP, giving them a phone call.

...or you can read any of these help pages:

Well, I'm out of ideas. I hope this helps.
Good luck...

It may sound silly, but it can be as simple as opening a port on your router (you may search on Google "Port Forwarding", along with your router model).

What router are you using? (model, brand, etc). What connection type do you have?, ADSL, Cable, Fiber Optic, etc.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: information to those using dynamic dns with dyndns.org

« on: May 09, 2015, 03:42:09 AM »

"CNAME" records relate a domain or subdomain name to another domain or subdomain name - not to an IP addresses.  So this information is incorrect.  Your CNAME record CANNOT be configured to point to ANY IP address - it points to an existing "A" record.  Think of it as an ALIAS - another "name" that points to an "A" record and the "A" record points to the IP Address.

You misunderstood what I've wrote. I know a CNAME can't be pointed directly to an IP, but a CNAME can be pointed to "xxxxxxx.dyndns.org". At the same time, "xxxxxxx.dyndns.org" resolves your dynamic IP address. So, by doing this, you can self host your website, instead of paying for hosting. It will be unreliable, but it will work.

How many complain about paying for work/services being provided by others, BUT EXPECT TO BE PAID WHEN THEY GO TO WORK.  How Hypocritical.

Wow!, slow down buddy. I smell that you've felt "touched" by my writings. All I've said was a recommendation for home-users, not big companies who have thousands to spend. I recommend paid services for people who want a reliable service. I know everything can't be free, and I don't expect everything to be free. But I don't like when a company wants to get paid for DDNS the same as if they were offering a Web Hosting service. It's insane. Period. But, do you really know why DDNS is not always free, or cheap? Because they (big companies) don't want normal people host websites by themselves...

...the only workers that shouldn't get paid are COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS?  WOW.  ALL I CAN SAY.  I'm a programmer - I think everyone else should work for free EXCEPT FOR PROGRAMMERS.

I've never said PROGRAMMERS should work for free. I have big respect for them, and you should know you don't need to be a programmer, to have a DDNS service, right?...

router & port problems / Re: Routers & ports firewalls - Oh, my!

« on: April 29, 2015, 08:23:54 AM »

I personally don't have access to such speeds over here. But it's interesting that more HFS users with similar speeds, make further tests. I don't know if in Italy, Rejetto has similar speeds to make tests. Anyway, like you say, this is a Win7/Vista OS limitation, not directly a HFS problem.

I was searching for RWIN Tweaking tools, and I did found some interesting links about it (I didn't test any of these, because I don't need to):

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: ICON transparant bacground bug

« on: April 25, 2015, 06:19:36 AM »

Would it be possible for HFS to make png files instead of gif. Thereby it can contain the the full 24bits colors and 8 bit alpha channels of the modern windows icons.

That would be great. Adding support for PNG it's the way to go. But please (rejetto), if you add this feature, don't remove the option (hidden in HFS options) to still use GIF, since old IE versions works better with GIF, than with PNG. Anyway, this is not a important bug, it's only a small detail.

I'm not a programmer, but maybe some of this Delphi components/websites, may help (I found them doing a Google search: "Reading alpha channel ICO Delphi"):

router & port problems / Re: Routers & ports firewalls - Oh, my!

« on: April 23, 2015, 03:00:03 AM »

@fdiskMBR: Enabling "DMZ" is a big security risk, since you are opening all ports, and any services or vulnerabilities that exist on that machine are fully exposed to the internet. Only enable "DMZ" for testings, then disable it. When using individual "Port Forwarding", you're only opening the port you need, for the purpose of hosting a service (ie: FTP server, file server).

I would like to agree with bmartino1, but I can't. I do not recommend enable DMZ, since that will NOT solve your speed problems (enabling DMZ may help if you are dealing with BitTorrent or eMule, but not with HFS). DMZ makes your PC fully and directly open to internet, but will not make your connection faster. If your server is working (and you can transfer files with friends over the internet), it means you have the correct ports open already, so you don't need to touch DMZ.

I seriously recommend you try another HTTP server (and not HFS based), because I'm 99% sure you will get the same speed, because it's an ISP problem. If you get the same speed with another software, you can be sure it's not your internal network fault.

I do not like to do this, because HFS is better than any other HTTP server (IMHO), but you can try "Easy File Sharing Web Server". It's not free, but you can test it for free, and see if your speed problem continues.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: ICON transparant bacground bug

« on: April 23, 2015, 02:49:26 AM »

You are right SvenBent, I can confirm the bug. HFS is not handling EXE transparencies as it should. Both files (Mercury.exe & Phoenix.exe) are giving transparency problems. Keep your server open, until Rejetto get the files, and sees the problem.
