Setting up Dreamweaver’s FTP connection

This TechNote addresses setting up Dreamweaver’s FTP connection. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is one of the most commonly used methods for transferring files to and from a remote server. Depending on your setup, the remote server is where you store files for testing, collaboration, production, deployment or other tasks. To transfer via FTP in Dreamweaver, users enter their FTP server information in the Remote Info category of the Site Definition dialog box. In the Files panel, users can then click the Connect and Put buttons to upload selected files and/or folders. For details, see the Define Sites section of this TechNote.

Note: The screenshots and specific functionality in this technote are from Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. The information in this TechNote will still benefit someone using any version of the application, even if certain functionality is not available or screenshots look different.

Much of the information in this TechNote has been taken from the following sections of the Dreamweaver MX 2004 help system (Help> Using Dreamweaver):

• Setting Remote Options for FTP access
• Setting Site preference options
• Setting up a remote folder

If you have already defined an FTP site and you are encountering a specific error, refer to theAdditional Information section for a list of other FTP TechNotes.

There are three steps involved when setting up a Dreamweaver site for FTP:

1. Verify that FTP is your best option for connecting to the remote server
2. Set up the Dreamweaver site definition
3. Set up the Dreamweaver Site preference options

Verify that FTP is your best option for connecting to the remote server

Before setting up a Dreamweaver site definition, determine whether FTP is your best or only option for connecting to your remote server. The FTP protocol has been around for many years and is known for being a loosely structured protocol that can present challenges in terms of reliability and compatibility. Dreamweaver allows you to connect to remote servers using a variety of methods, in addition to FTP:

• Local/Network – if you are accessing a server on your local area network.
• Secure FTP (SFTP) – SFTP is a separate protocol from FTP that enables you to fully encrypt all file transfers and prevent unauthorized access to your data, files, user names, and passwords.
• WebDAV
• Visual SourceSafe
• RDS

The first two options on the list;Local/Network and SFTP;are the most likely substitutes for FTP. These two protocols are more efficient and reliable than FTP, so you may want to pursue one of them if it is available for you. See the Dreamweaver help files for more information.

Set up the Dreamweaver site definition

In order to use FTP in Dreamweaver, you either need a site definition or you need to setup siteless file editing. Dreamweaver needs one of these two in order to know how to connect to the server. Starting with Dreamweaver MX 2004, you can connect directly to an FTP server without a formal site definition (siteless file editing), however a site definition provides more functionality within Dreamweaver. Most Dreamweaver users prefer to take advantage of the site definition’s additional functionality, so this TechNote will focus on that method. To learn more about site definitions, seeHow to define a site in Dreamweaver (TechNote tn_14028) or refer to the Dreamweaver help files (Help > Using Dreamweaver > Dreamweaver Basics > Setting Up a Dreamweaver Site).

To set up or edit the FTP settings in Dreamweaver, follow the steps below:

1. Choose Site > Manage Sites.
2. In the Manage Sites dialog box, either click the New button or select your existing site definition and click the Edit button.
3. In the Site Definition dialog box, you will see two tabs: Basic and Advanced. For the purposes of this TechNote, we will focus on the Advanced tab, since it includes more FTP options than the Basic tab.
4. From the Advanced tab, choose the Remote Info category. It should look like this:

   

5. In the Access drop-down menu, select FTP, once you have determined that FTP is your best option.
6. In the FTP host field, enter the host name of the FTP host to which you upload files for your website. Your FTP host is the full Internet name of a computer system, such as ftp.mindspring.com. Enter the full host name without any additional text. In particular, don’t add a protocol name in front of the host name. Port 21 is the default port for receiving FTP connections, however sometimes server administrators change the port setting to another port to prevent unauthorized FTP access. In those situations, you can append a colon and the port number to the FTP host entry. For example, if the port is 29, you would enter ftp.mindspring.com:29.
7. In the Host directory field, enter the host directory at the remote site where you store your documents that are visible to the public.If youre uncertain about what to enter as the host directory, contact the servers administrator. Or, try leaving the text box blank. On some servers, your root directory is the same as the directory you first connect to with FTP. To find out, connect to the server. If a folder with a name like public_html, or www, or your login name, appears in the Remote File view in your Files panel, thats probably the directory you should use in the Host Directory text box.
8. In the Login and Password fields, enter the login name and password that you use to connect to the FTP server.
9. Click the Test button to test your FTP host, host directory, login name and password.
10. Dreamweaver saves your password by default. Deselect the Save checkbox if you prefer that Dreamweaver prompt you for a password each time you connect to the remote server.
11. Select the Use passive FTP checkbox if your firewall configuration requires use of passive FTP. Passive FTP enables your local software to set up the FTP connection rather than requesting the remote server to set it up. If youre not sure whether to use passive FTP, check with your system administrator, or try both checking and unchecking Use Passive FTP.
12. Select the Use firewall checkbox if you connect to the remote server from behind a firewall.
13. Click Firewall Settings button to launch the Dreamweaver Site preference options to edit your firewall host or port. Preferences are discussed in the next section.
14. Select the Use Secure FTP (SFTP) checkbox to use SFTP for secure authentication. SFTP uses encryption and public keys to secure a connection to your testing server. Note: Your server must be running an SFTP service.
15. The Server Compatibility button is only in version 7.0.1 of Dreamweaver MX 2004. If you are using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and you do not see this button, download the 7.0.1 Updater. This button should only be used for troubleshooting purposes. It is especially useful for sites that used to work in prior versions of Dreamweaver, but do not work in Dreamweaver MX 2004. SeeTroubleshooting FTP Issues in Dreamweaver (TechNote tn_14834) for more information on these options.
16. The checkboxes for “Automatically upload files to server on save” and “Enable file check in and check out” are not specific to FTP sites. Refer to Dreamweaver help for more information on these two options.

Note: The FTP Host, Host Directory, Login and Password information must be obtained from the system administrator for the company hosting your site. No one else has access to this information. Enter the information exactly as your system administrator gives it to you.

Set up the Dreamweaver Site preference options

In addition to the Site Definition dialog box, Dreamweaver provides the Preferences dialog box for entering FTP settings. Unlike site definitions, which must be set for each site, site preference settings affect all sites. Users do not need to change the default Site FTP Preferences in most cases. However, when troubleshooting, it is useful to try other settings.

Here is how to access the Preferences dialog box:

• Windows: Edit > Preferences, then choose Site from the category list
• Macintosh: Dreamweaver > Preferences, then choose Site from the category list

The Site preference options relevant to FTP are as follows:

FTP Connection determines whether the connection to the remote site is terminated after the specified number of minutes have passed with no activity.

FTP Time Out specifies the number of seconds in which Dreamweaver attempts to make a connection with the remote server. If there is no response after the specified amount of time, Dreamweaver displays a warning dialog box alerting you to this fact. The default value of 60 seconds works for the majority of FTP servers.

FTP Transfer options determines whether Dreamweaver selects the default option, after a specified number of seconds, when a dialog box appears during a file transfer and there is no user response.

Firewall Host specifies the address of the proxy server through which you connect to outside servers if you are behind a firewall. If you are not behind a firewall, leave this space blank. If you are behind a firewall, select the Use Firewall option in the Site Definition dialog box.

Firewall Port specifies the port in your firewall through which you pass to connect to the remote server. If you connect through a port other than 21 (the default for FTP), enter the number here.

Change Proxy of Emulator

adb #shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’htpp_proxy’,'nbproxy:8080′); sqlite>.exit

adb #shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’htpp_proxy’,'nbproxy:8080′); sqlite>.exit

adb #shell sqlite3/data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/
databases/settings.db “\”INSERT INTO system
VALUES(99,’http_proxy’,'nbproxy:8080′);\”"

Here’s how you can specify a proxy server for the Android browser.
1) Connect to the emulator using the “adb shell” command
2) Once you have a prompt, issue the following command:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db “INSERT INTO system
VALUES(99,’http_proxy’,':’);”
where and should be
replaced by the IP or hostname and port number, respectively, for the
proxy server you’re using. (The command should be on one line.)
*Note*: you may need to restart the emulator for the change to be
recognized by the browser.
While in “adb shell”, you can check to see if your proxy was added
correctly by issuing the following:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db “SELECT * FROM system”
If things worked correctly, you should see something like:
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db “SELECT * FROM system”
1|music_volume|3
2|voice_volume|3
3|ringer_volume|3
99|http_proxy|proxy.example.com:4242
To remove the proxy setting, issue the following command via “adb
shell”:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/
settings.db “DELETE FROM system WHERE _id=99″

How to find IP

How Do I Find My PC’s IP Address?
Network Operations Center — 8/2007

Follow these steps for Windows XP:

Click the Start button, select Run
Type CMD and press Enter.
A Command prompt window will open. Type ipconfig and press Enter.
Several lines of information will be displayed. The IP address looks like “149.72.61.234″ – yours will probably have different numbers near the end.
If you cannot obtain the IP address, you can try to “renew” it:

Click the Start button, select Run
Type CMD and press Enter.
A Command prompt window will open. Type ipconfig /release and press Enter. (Note: there IS a space between ipconfig and /release)
Wait for the command to finish.
Type ipconfig /renew (Note: there is a space between ipconfig and /renew)
Wait about 1 minute. If successful, your IP will display and look like “149.72.61.234″.
Type Exit to close the CMD window.
If you get an error, the cause might be:

You do not have a network connection.
Your PC may not be configured to get its IP Address and DNS information from our DHCP server.
In the Residences, you may not yet be authorized to access the network. You must wait at least 1 day after registering your PC at http://dormlord.dowling.edu before trying to connect.

Android Emulator

Controlling the Emulator

You can use emulator startup options and console commands to control the behaviors and characteristics of the emulated environment itself.

When the emulator is running, you can interact with the emulated mobile device just as you would an actual mobile device, except that you use your mouse pointer to “touch” the touchscreen and your keyboard keys to “press” the simulated device keys.

The table below summarizes the mappings between the emulator keys and and the keys of your keyboard.

Emulated Device Key	Keyboard Key
Home	HOME
Menu (left softkey)	F2 or Page-up button
Star (right softkey)	Shift-F2 or Page Down
Back	ESC
Call/dial button	F3
Hangup/end call button	F4
Search	F5
Power button	F7
Audio volume up button	KEYPAD_PLUS, Ctrl-5
Audio volume down button	KEYPAD_MINUS, Ctrl-F6
Camera button	Ctrl-KEYPAD_5, Ctrl-F3
Switch to previous layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape)	KEYPAD_7, Ctrl-F11
Switch to next layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape)	KEYPAD_9, Ctrl-F12
Toggle cell networking on/off	F8
Toggle code profiling	F9 (only with -trace startup option)
Toggle fullscreen mode	Alt-Enter
Toggle trackball mode	F6
Enter trackball mode temporarily (while key is pressed)	Delete
DPad left/up/right/down	KEYPAD_4/8/6/2
DPad center click	KEYPAD_5

Note that, to use keypad keys, you must first disable NumLock on your development computer.

Emulator Startup Options

The emulator supports a variety of options that you can specify when launching the emulator, to control its appearance or behavior. Here’s the command-line usage for launching the emulator with options:

emulator -avd <avd_name> [-<option> [<value>]] ... [-<qemu args>]

The table below summarizes the available options.

Category	Option	Description	Comments
Help	-help	Print a list of all emulator options.

How To Save Bitmap File as OLE Object in Access OLE Object Field

original Source

The following example demonstrates how a bitmap file is stored in the OLE Object field of an Access table using Visual Basic.

Back to the top

Step-by-Step Example

1. For testing purposes, create a database named db1.mdb and a table named MyOLETest in Access. The MyOLETest table structure is as follows:

Field Name	Data Type
ID	AutoNumber (Primary Key)
Picture	OLE Object

2. Save db1.mdb in the C:\TEMP\ folder.
3. Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
4. Place a CommandButton, Command1, and a Data Control, Data1 on Form1.
5. Add an OLE control, OLE1, to Form1. Click Cancel in the Insert Object window.
6. Using the following table as a guide, set the properties of the newly added controls:

Control	Property	Value
Data1	Database Name	C:\TEMP\db1.mdb
Data1	RecordSource	MyOLETest
OLE1	DataSource	Data1
OLE1	DataField	Picture

2. Double-click Command1, and then paste the following code into the Command1 Code window:

   Data1.Recordset.AddNew
   OLE1.CreateEmbed "C:\Windows\Circles.bmp"
   ' Assume the bitmap file is located at C:\Windows\ folder.
   Data1.Recordset.Update
   Data1.Recordset.MoveLast
   					

3. Start the program or press the F5 key. Click Command1 to add the Circles.bmp file to the MyOLETest Access table.

NOTE: The OLE Container control does not have to be visible to update the Access database with this method.
