We are trying to move some customers data to cloud hosted services and trying to mimic the same way they currently use shared folders on the local network.
We would like to use Digital Oceans since we know their system, but not married to it.
We need the ability to click a folder using File Explorer and open it and see Word and Excel files and be able to click on the document and edit it.
No syscing required. Can be used but not required.
I have setup WinSCH as a client and connected to a Digital Ocean droplet and see and move files, but this does not allow me to edit online files. They must the copied to the local machine and edited and put back or use their folder sync application which sets up a copy of the shared folder on all user computer that need access.
All suggestion would be welcomed.
Thanks

I'm currently not having the option to check this question since I do not have 2 computers running Anylogic.
My question is if you share your anylogic .Alp file with somebody, is he able to open the model.
Or should you also need to share the things in your model file when you save it(3d map, databasemap and pictures)
Or do you even need more since when you save an anylogic file you also need to name the Java package.
I'm asking this because my computer is running on his end and I need to know what I've to put in the cloud when my computer will crash and will not be able to use it.
Im currently have put the map from the model map in the cloud and the database excel files. (But no file about the Java package cause I could not find it)
You only need the .alp file itself and all items that are in the model folder where the .alp sits. This can include:
images
database subfolder
lib subfolder (holding any required jar files)
logs subfolder
outputs subfolder
So if you simply zip the entire model folder and send it over, the other person unzips it AND IF he/she uses the same AnyLogic version, all will work.
If it is an older version of AnyLogic on the other end, it may not work (but also it may, it depends on the version difference).
Also, if you created the model with the Professional version and you used some elements that are not accessible in the free PLE version and if the other person only uses the PLE, it will also not work.
If you really just need the other person to run the model, consider compiling it or using the AnyLogic cloud.
I'm working on a project and I need to dynamically check what is in onhe of my folder. The idea is that I have the id of a quest, and there is a folder name after that id. My code needs to check if this folder exist AND if there is something in it. After that, it show all the picture inside that folder. The goal is that I will just have to add picture in a folder to have them appear in my game.
I tried to find a way to check the content of my folder, but everyone say that I need flash.filesystem, BUT it means that I need to use AIR. AIR does NOT work in FireFox or any other browser.
Here is the website that make me understood that:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Photos_Graphics/Web_Graphics/Macromedia_Flash/Q_26118847.html
How can I explore the content of my folders then?
There is absolutely no way to explore the local file system without user interaction in Flash. If you want to do it, you must make an AIR application, which is not browser-based. This is a security feature that is imposed by each browser (you can't do it in JS either) and implemented identically by Adobe.
You can use FileReference to allow a user to select file(s) for Flash to have access to or save a file, but that is the most interaction with the filesystem that will be possible without opening AIR (which is also not limitless. Even with AIR, you won't have full access to the file system and will be locked out of certain directories and prevented from doing certain things)
If the folders are on your server you'll need to rely on a server side script to do the job and pass the result to your app.
If you mean folders on client side computer it's not gonna be possible for security reason.
My backend is on a cloud server and my frontend will be a MDE file. My company now uses Access2013 but when the database was being designed and coded, we were still on XP.
I am hoping to be able to email all the users a file which will enable auto-updating of the MDE. The examples I have seen require access to the backend. While I do not wish to reinvent the wheel, especially as my only programming knowledge is some VBA, I am hoping to create a file that will:
Check if the path C:\Program Files\myDatabaseFolder exists
If not then create it and copy the MDE from my department server (not the
cloud).
(Possibly also copy a self-certificate to get past the
Trusted Source warning)
If Path exists then check the date modified of the current version
against the version on the department server and retain the latest.
Then Open the Database
There are a few things I'm not too clear on - this file I would email to users and get them to put it on their desktop. When they wanted to access the database, they would just run this - but should this be a batch file or some other form of executable?
Also, when I created the MDE and tried to open it, I got a warning:- "not possible to determine that this content came from a trustworthy source". I do not want the users to see that on opening the file/database, so would a self-certificate be adequate or is there a way to create a trusted location? I am hoping for as little user interaction as possible - not all are able to follow simple instructions.
Any advice or comments welcomed.
I have set this up in a Citrix environment but it should work with normal desktops as well. It is described in detail here:
FE Deploy Method
The script, I used, happened to be VB Script and can be found here:
FE Deploy Script
I didn't have to charge a consulting fee for this.
PS: If you meet a request for signing up at EE, you should be able to just browse past it.

I have a web-app(browser based) which needs to access a folder full of icons that resides outside the web folder.
This folder MUST be outside the web folder, and would ideally exist outside the project folder all together
however, when specifying the path to the folder neither "../" or making use of a symlink will work
when the page attempts to load the image I always get
"[web] GET /Project|web/icons/img.png => Could not find asset Project|web/icons/img.png."
however I set the image source to "../icons/img.png"
how can i get dart to access this file properly
PS: I attempted a symlink to another part of the filesystem (where the images would be kept ideally) however this did not work either.
The web server integrated into DartEditor or pub serve only serves directories that are added as folders to the files view. When you add the folder to DartEditor you should be able to access the files. This is just for development.
You have also to find a solution for when you deploy your server app. It would be a hazardous security issue when you could access files outside the project directory. Where should the server draw the line? If this would be possible your entire server would be accessible to the world.
Like #Robert asked, I also have a hard time imaging why the files must not be in the project folder.
If you want to reuse the icons/images between different projects you could create a resource package that contains only those images and add them as a dependency to your project.
If you want a better answer you need to provide more information about your requirements.
If you wrote your own server (by using the HttpServer class) it may be possible to use the VirtualDirectory to server your external files.
Looking at look the dartiverse_search example may give you some ideas.
You could put them in the lib directory and refer to them via /packages/Project/...
Or in another package, in which case they would be in a different place in the file system. But as other people have said, your requirement seems odd.
So the problem is I'm not used to FTP clients and managing files with apps and directories. Webfaction has you connect to the domain and server (username.webfactional.com; listen to port 22) and once your in, you see the files already there (like bin, lib, webapp->django, etc). What I don't get is how do I get my source code files uploaded so that they appear on my domain (cooldomainname.com)?
I think the part you are missing here is how WebFaction lays out the structure for your account, applications, and web sites. You can see some of the ways they set things up here:
http://docs.webfaction.com/user-guide/examples.html
The answer to your question is:
You need to put the files, depending on the file type (if it is static or php and you have an Static/CGI/PHP application set up), in the /home/username/webapps/appname directory. You can view your apps by looking through the information in the WebFaction docs and following them through their control panel to the information you need.
