File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

Hi Experts,

We have a script that is downloading files from FTP server every 15 minutes.

I'm writing a function that will do the following.

Loop thru all files, process them, then delete them.

Part of the function is to see if file contains some data besides of just headers.
this is the code

Function CountOfRecords(sFolderPath As String, sFile As String) As Long
Dim fso
Dim folderPath
Dim file
Dim oFile
Dim fileContent
Dim arr
Dim cnt
Dim recCnt
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'folderPath = "C:\FTP\5-18\31\" 'Change the folder path as required and remember to add a back slash in the end
        Set oFile = fso.OpenTextFile(sFolderPath & sFile)
        fileContent = oFile.ReadAll
        arr = Split(fileContent, vbCrLf)
        If UBound(arr) > 0 Then
            cnt = cnt + 1
            recCnt = recCnt + UBound(arr)
        End If
        oFile.Close
        Set oFile = Nothing
CountOfRecords = recCnt

End Function

Open in new window

However some times I get an error, permission denied.

guess when its still in middle the download process...

what is the solution?

Thanks on advance.

Using a tool like Teamviewer, can I safely let a programmer add code without risk of him/her downloading my document?

Or any other tool. The main thing is to all the time be certain the programmer can work on my document (Excel workbook) and add VBA code without any risk that he/she downloads the workbook. Could I even restrict viewing of certain pages, tabs and cells/cell areas of this workbook and perhaps let several different programmers work on different tabs of my Excel workbook? Although they might take a screencast of the tabs, but if I divide the task on several programmers and restrict viewing I would neutralize this risk also.

I need to run the scheduler (Built in)
Copy file from my source
to
My local folder
Ever 60 minutes

AFTER that process...
I need to delete the file off the source folder

When IPSWITCH ws-ftp does a scheduler transfer
Is that a COPY
or a MOVE?

Hi Experts,

Hi Experts,
I have my Access backend database on the server and some times nobody is using it, I can go into design of each of the tables.
However the lock file does not get closed after closing all Access instances.
Is it safe to copy over the file to a different location, compact it and place it back in the original location?

Hi Experts,

I have the following script that

1- downloads from a FTP site all new files to a local folder
2- Copy all downloaded files to another local folder.

However I see that 2nd step is not working properly, it downloads/copies all files again to the 2nd folder, not only the new files.
Can someone help me fix that?

Hi Experts,

The script below connects to a FTP site and downloads all newest files to a local folder in my pc.

How can I change this script to include only files  either with wording "PAT" or "Sched"?
However if file name contains word "Full" it should not be included.

# Load WinSCP .NET assembly
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll"

# Set up session options
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
    HostName = "sftp.MySite.com"
    UserName = "MyUserName"
    Password = "MyPWD"
    SshHostKeyFingerprint = "1234567890="
}

$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session

try
{
    # Connect
    $session.Open($sessionOptions)

    # Transfer files
    $remotePath = "H:\FTP\*"
    
    $sourcePath = "/Outbox/*"
    $destPath = "H:\FTP\"
    $destPathNew = "H:\FTP\Caspio\"


    $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
    while($True)
    {
 
        try
        {
     
            $transferResult = $session.GetFiles($sourcePath, $destPath, $False, $transferOptions)
            $transferResult.Check()
        }
        finally
        {
 	        foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers)
                {
                   $session.GetFiles($transfer.FileName, $destPathNew, $False, $transferOptions)
          
                    Write-Host "Download of $($transfer.FileName) succeeded"

Hi All,
Client #1
client has NAS with map drive & o365 Onedrive business.

I want to be mapped in the office and cloud(onedrive) on the go.
Set up cloudsyc(synology) with onedrive folder and it is working fine, but NO local fast sync

I mapped the synology shared folder to pc and sync the same shared folder with onedrive.
But when I did copy/paste to map drive then did not sync with onedrive
When I copy/paste to onedrive then synced OK, BUT wasofcourse musch smaller.

So when they want use in the office they will have very slow speed!

Any idea to set better and increase the local sync speed?

Client #2

Another client at the moment use dropbox with 20-25gb video files with local sync between pc’s
It is OK now,but eating our bandwidth with vmwault and they use a lot skype to communicate

I want to move them to NAS and cloudsync too .

Dropbox & cloudsyc-but ongoing cost VS Onedrive & cloudsyc NO cost as they have A3 O365 licenses

Thank you for advice in advance

Hi Experts,

I use Dropbox to Sync files between a number of coworkers PCs.

Yesterday I set up a new PC.

I thought it would be a good idea to copy the Dropbox folder from one of the other PCs to the new one.

That turned out to be a disaster.

After installing Dropbox on the new PC, the number of subfolders in the Dropbox folder doubled.
So I now have folders with names like:

D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict)

this folder has some of the files duplicated from this folder:

D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel

My problem now is that I can delete this folder, D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict).

But minutes later it reappears, presumably because it is on one or more other PCs.

How can I delete the Selective Sync Conflict folders permanently?

Regards,
Leigh

Hi Experts,
I am looking for an Access file that was used about a month ago, however cant remember the name and since there were more recent files used, I cannot get to see them from under Access recent files list..
Is there any way I can get a list of all my Access files used in past month, along with date last opened?
Files can be either on the server or on local C drive.
Thanks in advance

I have been tasked with using Filezilla to move 4 text files from a static location every month.  I am new to Filezilla and wondering if there is a way to schedule Filezilla to complete the transfer unattended?  I will have a login and password that could be included in the script.  The Filezilla will reside on a client server, so the server is always on.

Is there any way to prevent users copying files from a mapped drive, when they're not domain joined?

Server 2012 R2 - Active Directory & File Share
Local devices - connect to shared folders from the server, using their AD accounts for authentication only. Local devices are NOT domain joined.

Hi Experts,
We have setup a server farm technology where file is on the local server and users are accessing the file thru the farm.
https://www.techopedia.com/definition/4202/server-farm
Now we are experiencing FE file corruption very frequent, not sure if this started immediately after the farm setup but this is now whats happening, and lately it can happens a couple of times a day.
See attached error that users are getting.
As soon I connect to pc and open the file, it asks if want repair, and I say yes, and then everything is fine.
I told users they must close access prior to logging off the farm, and they say this is what they do.
Last night I had only one user on, fixed it and in the morning, still only that user was on and problem happen again..
What can be done?
Thanks in advance.

i'm asked to implement and gathering requirement from our AD, FS, hybrid exchange to integrate with the new third party system of IDMS, PIM and DGM.

eg. work flow process
eg. record remote access from admin usage
eg. gathering ad, fs and email inventory record for auditing

However, i am very new and no much experience to their enterprise infra system comprises of 10,000 employees and require me to gather a lot of pro & con to integrate the new phrase IDMS (V4) to (V5), PIM (remote), DGM (Inventory) within a short period.

Can the 1-to-1 live chart or the experts exchange can provide me the help to complete this project or only troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Hello Experts,

I have a DELL server that I am going to mirror a couple of hard drives. It needs to become a file server.

My question is, is there a NAS software I could install on it and make it NAS server?

Software like FreeNAS or OpenFile. I will like the software to be free or otherwise, I will use a Linux server like CentOS 7 or Ubuntu.

If that is the case configuring Samba will be enough? Recommendation needed, please.

Thank you!

HI Linux Experts

we have in our environment EMC clariion and VNX5300 both working as SAN and NAS  

we moved everything to VSAN even our file servers we are using right now virtual appliance like Nexenta Store ans EMC unity

till now we dont have any  issues with these virtual appliance but we have any machine which read data from our file system  one file system shared (( SMB for windows users and NFS for this machine and linux users ))

but this old machine can understand only NFS V2   when i try to mount a shared file system from Nexenta store or EMC unity it dose not work

so i tried to mount for test this file system on centos VM with this command

 # mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.111:/sword /swordone/
mount.nfs: mount point /swordone is not a directory
 # mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.8.147:/sword/cnc /swordone/
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

so the issue look like NFS V2 not supported on these new virtual appliance or maybe cloud be another reason

so my question do you know any virtual appliance work as NAS 100 % can support NFSV2   something like freenas or anything that i can make test with to make sure the issue not related to NFS V2

any idea here ?

Sorry, I set up 2 machines - 1 that has onedrive and one that has onedrive for business installed.

I keep being told the only similarity / continuity between them is the first part of their name - onedrive.  They are entirely different animals?! the ODFB runs on sharepoint?  

Am I missing something?  They seem to have the same functionality.

I am most familiar with Dropbox.  So if you can put things into comparision with Dropbox, that would help me understand things better : )

Cross Forest Migration of File Server Resource manager 2012r2
I am planning to migrate FSRM server from domain A to domain B. The server has 18 folders each of those folders have different local security group and each group has domain A members associated with it.

Since I am going to migrate the server, How do I proceed and with what tools? The client I am doing the migration for want this migration without downtime since majority of the users are working from the file server online editing and changing stuff.

Would robocopy be a good option and if users keep changing everything all the time how do I sync changes?
If i want to take a different kind of migration way like not using ADMT or Robocopy but Disjoin fileserver from domain A and join it to domain B and add all users would that suffice?

How am I going to change all the mapped folders for all users who are migrated to the B domain ? any tool or is it possible to use GPO to detect and change all mapped folders?

Thanks

Application for enabling users to move files with paths and permissions.

I am managing a large traditional file store seen by users as a mapped drive.

This has grown huge and has been a dumping group for data for a decade. What I want to do is clean up the data and get a handle on security. To this end I have assigned a user from each department as controller of a root folder so the sales folder has someone in sales that is responsible the Finance folder has someone in finance responsible etc.

I have very good backups of this data and now want each of these users to go into their respective folders and delete / archive old data. The question is how do I have them archive the old data. The ideal way would be for the archive data to be moved to an identical path on a separate archive drive.

I will have to give the users permissions to the entire tree they are managing which is ok but I don't want them to simply drag and drop files / folders to a root Archive folder, I really want to keep the structure so the archived documents can be searched later (this will be very infrequently) Are there any programs I can use for this, a file commander type application that is friendly enough for select end users (these are slightly higher skill level users and could have some training)

Any suggestions would be great! This is a 2016 windows AD environment.
