I need to provide non-techie user ability to reliable download a few large files (3Gb) from URL without revealing the source URL of the file. Ideally I need single exe (without dependencies) that will download file from URL, specified inside exe: when user click on exe it just need show prompt where to save the file, and(optionally) will provide the user with some progress bar, for instance. The target URL can be specified directly in
the resource section, so I can edit URL path with HEX editor when I need set another path.
Wget are not suitable in my case, as its command line utility and requires user to specify an URL.
You could use the URLDownloadToFile function. Implement the IBindStatusCallback interface to receive progress information.
You really can't hide the source URL. Why are you trying to do that? If an end user runs tcpdump while they are running your program, they'll see where packets are coming from and going to.
I'd just provide them with a small batch file which calls ftp.exe. Tell your end user to drop the .BAT file where the downloaded file should go, and click it.
That solves quite a few problems, e.g. you know that your end user will be able to find the directory.

I use MFC and understand how to skip configuration menu (set pInfo->m_bDirect to false). But I want to set the folder and filename programmatically, without a special dialog. If it is impossible, can you advise me about a PDF printer with this functionality (may be changing configuration file for this goal)?
One question at a time, has limitations so here goes.
Q.) I want set folder and filename programmatically without special dialog.
A.) If you look at the output port of a recent windows installation of Microsoft Print To PDF
You may note it is set to PORTPROMPT: and that is exactly what causes the request for a filename.
You might note lower down, I have several ports set to a filename, and the fourth one down is called "My Print to PDF"
So very last century methodology; when I print with a *duplicate printer but give it a different name I can use different page ratios etc., without altering the built in standard one. The output for a file will naturally be built:-
Exactly in one repeatable location, that I can file monitor and rename it, based on the source calling the print sequence, such that if it is my current default printer I can right click files to print to a known \folder\file.pdf
Your next question will be how to change the target location and that is done behind the scenes when using apps such as WordPad Command Line printing where we can specify the port name on the command line.
Some users will use a Port Redirection Monitor (Do NOT use RedMon as unsupported in Win 10, consider Multi Port Redirector)
Other Users will interact with the duplicate named printer directly via PrintUI where you can alter output port, rotation or paper format etc.
And for your usage you could try one of these for hints, with your newly defined PDF printer:-
Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX control - printing to a specified (non default) printer
Programmatically set filename and path in Microsoft Print to PDF printer
I am trying to add one file from file directory in directory.
While I am clicking on +(insert file) the and selecting a file from directory the path is formed as media\test\abc.pdf instead of media/test/abc.pdf.
Even though chrome is able to resolve the url Firefox is not.
I believe it's because you're using a physical file path that you're getting the backslash. One of the simplest things you can do is a string.Replace() expression to make every backslash a forward slash.
Not sure what your specific use case is, or how much work it would be, but if you're going to use the path on the web and your PDF is located in the MediaLibrary, it might be worth looking into using the URL property of the Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem object.
I am building a sync app with a customprovider and a filesyncprovider. I based my provider on this example:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/File-Sync-with-Simple-c497bf87
Now I want to extend to a hierarchical folderstructure. So in the EnumerateItems method of the custom syncprovider I return all files and folders just like I did before with only the files in the directory. Now on the filesyncprovider side, this results in a creation of folders with the name of the file and the file being placed in this folder. E.g.
Folder1\textfile.txt\textfile.txt
I have no idea, what I am doing wrong and I find it hard to know the part of the MS filesyncprovider where I could debug to see, what's happening.
My question is, what am I doing wrong and how can I correct it, so that the correct output would be
Folder1\textfile.txt?
Best regards,
Tobias
// Must return the relative path without the filename
public string RelativeDirectoryPath
{
get
{
return _relativeFilePath;
}
Read first - then ask: I returned the path to the file instead of the path to the folder... comment above even warns not to do that...
I have one problem about filezilla. I accidentally move one folder to wrong directory, so it shows the errors when I view my website.
How can I solve it? Please help me.
Many thanks in advance for your answer.
You cannot undo, but you should understand why that happened and how to prevent that from happening again in the future.
This happened because Filezilla allows Drag-and-drop move functionality on both folders (directories) and files, very dangerous on production servers.
There is actually a feature-request for 11 years now, please add your vote to the list to get this done: https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/2191
In the mean time, please consider using another software that allows the user to set this behavior as an option:
WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/screenshots
WS-FTP Pro: https://trac.filezilla-project.org/attachment/ticket/2191/ws_ftp-professional-options.gif
EDIT: Filezilla team responded (sort of) to the feature request and you can block drag and drop in the xml config file. It's better than nothing.
You cannot undo ftp moves. The only way to rectify the problem is to manually move the folder to it's original location.
I suggest you be more careful from next time.
If you don't know where the folder belongs, download the x-cart script package and check where the directory belongs.
Sorry for late, but I am up to date. I get logs from filezilla of moved files.
Status: Renaming '/var/www/html/brb/abc.js' to '/var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js'
Status: /var/www/html/brb/abc.js -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js
Status: Renaming '/var/www/html/brb/xyz.html' to '/var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html'
Status: /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html
I write script in js to build command
let x = ['/var/www/html/brb/abc.js -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js',
'/var/www/html/brb/xyz.html -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html'];
let cmd = [];
x.forEach(p => {
let path = p.split('->');
cmd.push(`mv ${path[1]} ${path[0]}`);
})
console.log(cmd);
Output:
['mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js /var/www/html/brb/abc.js'
'mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html']
Use any editor like vscode etc and remove string quotes and execute command in server terminal etc
mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js /var/www/html/brb/abc.js
mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html
A simple answer is,
Copy the folder into the desired location and then delete from the current location where you moved it mistakenly.
Now, what if you overwrite a file.
I just edited a file in local, then downloaded the file from my server into the local, and my all the local updated data is gone. There seems no solution of this, but there may be one possibility, I may be the lucky enough that this is my case.
If you were working on that local file, so most probably it is opened in your browser. Do not refresh it. Copy the content one by one, and update the file again. You can also open developers tools of both old and new page. Compare them line by line and do the job.
I had the same issue and resolved it manually.
The log panel was helpful in this. It is the large panel below the connection form in the top menu.
From that log panel, I was able to figure out all the files which were moved with their current and previous location.
I copied those all log lines and paste them somewhere in notepad and then manually selected all files and move those all at once to their original directory.

at the moment I'm writing a kind of lib, which gets from outside the file name 'sFilename'. With it data were written to a file it will be created, data were append to an existing file with data, data were updated in an existing file with data or the data were read from an existing data.
The user of the application with my lib should get as much as possible on information about errors of file handling.
For this purpose I code a method FileExists(...) which uses _stat() to determine if a file exists or not and a method "bool checkPermission(std::string sFilename, CFile::EOpenmode iOpenmode)" which gives back a bool if the specified file (sFilename) with the iOpenmode (Read, Write, Readwrite) have the permission to be read, written or read and written.
This method works with _stat(sFilename.c_str(), &buf) too and gives the desired information of the file back in buf.
Before checking any file I want to check if the directory containing the specified file has the desired permissions and for that I want to use the checkPermission method [works with _stat()] for the directory!
Now the problem: how can I determine easyly the containing directory? If the user just give a filename "test.txt" the file will be created or read in working directory. So its easy to get the up-directory. Its the same like the working directory. (And there its simple to use checkPermission to get detailed information about the directory).
But what about when the user not only give the file name? For exaample "....\test.txt" or "dir1\dir2\test.txt". How to combine the working directory with a specific path to gain the up-directory of the file and then to check the permissions?
Phew, I hope all is clear and it was'nt too long ;-)

I'd suggest using the Boost FileSystem library at www.boost.org. In particular, check out the path class, which has methods such as make_absolute and parent_path.
This is Windows example code GetFileNameFromHandle to show you how to get the path from a HANDLE. I think it is what you are looking for.

I found out that _stat() and _access() doesn't really works for the permissions of the directories. See this stackoverflow page.
With _stat() you can't use ".\" to get information about the current directory. But _access() at least can check if a directory exists as well ".\" or "..\".
In conclusion I use _access() to check the existence of a directory and _stat() to check the permissions of an existing file. If a file should be created I'll check it by doing.
And by the way ;-) I don't need to combine working directory with the user specified file because I can use the specified file alone in _access() to determine if directory exists.
