Is it possible to use regex for matching file names in FTP to get files from server ?
I need to do FTP to server and need to download the files whose file names are ending with the same value. In my case, it is 14_04_25_144238.
I am not sure if it is doable. But, just out of curiosity, asking this.
Can we use regex like .*14_04_25_144238 in the ftp get command ?
Thanks in advance.

You want the mget command.
From the Unix man page
mget remote-files
Expand the remote-files on the remote machine and
do a get for each file name thus produced. See glob for details on
the filename expansion. Resulting file names will then be
processed according to case, ntrans, and nmap settings. Files are
transferred into the local working directory, which can be changed
with 'lcd directory'; new local directories can be created with '!
mkdir directory'.
If you want to turn of the prompting of each file, then you also need this:
prompt
Toggle interactive prompting. Interactive prompting occurs
during multiple file transfers to allow the user to selectively retrieve or store files. If prompting is turned off (default is on), any mget or mput will transfer all files, and any
mdelete will delete all files
.

Is there is any way to make files/folders hidden during or install files action in install4j.
Like similar to .install4j folder in Installation folder.I am working on CentOS platform.
When install4j action replaces installer variables in files those are replaced as it is in text format,is there is any way to replace encrypted values or hide those replaced variables in shell script as it might contain sensitive information.
As of install4j 8, there is no action to make files hidden
Call context.registerHiddenVariable("<variable name>") in a script to tell install4j that an installer variable contains sensitive information. Its contents will not be written to the log file.
I have an application that transfers files via socket, desire that this also make transfers directories.
How can I download a full DIRECTORY via socket?
The program works like this, it asks the user to enter the remote directory where the file is to transfer Example: C:\users\server\file.dat
After it makes a validation to confirm the existence of the file,
and finally it transfers byte by byte.
The problem is that when the user type a directory validation fail, an example is if I type C:\users\SERVER\DIRECTORY
the program then returns an error FAILED IN READ BYTES
The solution would be to zip the directory, but the server only works with command line "shell", and Windows has nothing to zip by native command line.
Any suggestions?
You cannot read a directory like an ordinary file. You should search for all files yourself and send them one by one. This means you should also send paths to all files and reproduce their hierarchy yourself.
I have deployed my webapplication on a jetty server, and I am trying to edit those deployed files using WebStorm 8.0.4. But I am unable to save the edited files and getting the following error:
Try turning the 'safe write' feature (Settings/General, 'Use safe writes') off - does it help? It creates a temporary copy of a file: creates a separate temp file, deletes the original and then renames. With this option the original file permissions may be lost, this causes problems, especially when working on remote drives.
Follow these steps.
Open C:\Users\YourUserName\.m2\repository (If you use maven)
Find org folder and Navigate org\eclipse\jetty\jetty-webapp\yourJettyVersion
There will be a .jar file.
Open it with winrar or some program like winrar.
Navigate org\eclipse\jetty\webapp
Find webdefault.xml and Open it with any text editor.
Search useFileMappedBuffer parameter in file
You will see a param value.
Change it to false.
Save and Exit.
I'm sorry for any English mistakes.
I want to write a log file for my application. The path where I want to store the file is:
destination::"C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\autosyn\logs"
I have used the sample below to generate the log file:
<cfset destination = expandPath('logs')>
<cfoutput>destination::"#destination#"</cfoutput><br/>
<cflog file='#destination#/test' application="yes" text="Running test log.">
When I supply the full path, it didn't create a log file. When I remove my destination, and only provide a file name, the log is generated in the ColdFusion server path C:\ColdFusion8\logs.
How can I generate a log file in my application directory?
Here is the description of attribute file according to cflog tag specs:
Message file. Specify only the main part of the filename. For example,
to log to the Testing.log file, specify "Testing".
The file must be located in the default log directory. You cannot
specify a directory path. If the file does not exist, it is created
automatically, with the extension .log.
You can use cffile tag to write information into the custom folder.
From the docs for <cflog>:
file
Optional
Message file. Specify only the main part of the filename. For example, to log to the Testing.log file, specify "Testing".
The file must be located in the default log directory. You cannot specify a directory path. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically, with the extension .log.
(My emphasis).
Reading the docs is always a good place to start when wondering how things might work.
So <cflog> will only log to the ColdFusion logs directory, and that is by design.
I don't have CF8 handy, but you would be able to set the logging directory to be a different one via either the CFAdmin UI (CF9 has this, I just confirmed), or neo-logging.xml in WEB-INF/cfusion/lib.
Or you could use a different logging mechanism. I doubt it will work on a rusty of CF8 install, but perhaps LogBox?
I am writing a c++ program that interfaces with an Apache FtpServer using libcurl. I was originally using the LIST command to get the contents of a directory but it was giving me a lot of information I didn't but had to parse any ways which lead to a lot unneeded overhead (especially when I was working with hundreds of thousands of files). In addition I needed a valid time stamp and it was giving me a shorthand that didn't include the year (so on January 1 all of the files on my computer looked outdated compared to the FTP server's). My solution was to use the NLST command to get only the names, then download the timestamps of each using MDTM. This worked awesome but then I ran into the major problem of not being able to tell if a file was a directory or not.
I am thinking the easiest way to do this is using the permissions to see if the first flag is set to d. FTP doesn't appear to have this functionality. Is there an easy way to tell if a filename is a directory or file?
You can try to use the CWD command on the file to test if it is a directory or not. But failure may mean lack of permission, so you need to check the error code. For example:
ftp> cd atom.xml
550 Can't change directory to atom.xml: Not a directory
Alternatively, you can use the NLST command again on the file you want to test. If it is a plain file, you will just get the filename back. Otherwise, you will get a list of contents of the directory.
ftp> nlist atom.xml
200 PORT command successful
150 Connecting to port 53912
atom.xml
226 1 matches total
ftp> mkdir foo
257 "foo" : The directory was successfully created
ftp> nlist foo
200 PORT command successful
150 Connecting to port 53928
226 0 matches total
