I am looking for an truely "web based" (website) FTP client, to upload my html/web stuff.
What I found sofar is http://www.net2ftp.com/.
The site is a good example of what I am looking for, but isn't as usefull as I thought.
So, does anybody know a better site?
There are many option available both on the server side (where the server does all the FTP traffic and shows it to the web browser and on the client side via Java Applet, ActiveX or Flash component)
Depending on what you need to do each option will have it's own advantages.
For example if you need to handle Folder Structures or multiple files then a client side Java Applet or ActiveX will be the best option.
If you only wish to handle a single file then the server side option will be better.
Start by searching for "ftp java applet" it will point you in the right direction.
I also compiled a Blog that tries to compare all your web based file transfer options

I'm still kind of new in programming and I'm not quite sure that this is the place to ask this question, but I can't find anything worthy on the Internet. Sorry on first place but I'm truly lost. All I can find is "just use wordpress" and things like that.
I'm trying to make a website from zero with HTML and CSS, and there I would have the front end. I know a little bit of backend but I'm still learning. The real question is: how do you mesh up all of this and put it on the Internet so others can see it? I know you have to buy a domain and so, but how do you put it all together? What do you exactly do with your server-side code if what you "upload" is the HTML code? Are there any good books on the subject or something so I can study it on my own?
Thanks in advance.
Read about web frameworks like Spring in Java or Django in Python. Start with a lecture of these to grasp a notion of backend and frontend working together:

And don't forget to read about the MVC pattern.
If all you want to know is how to publish an html/css project to make your website live then you need a domain, hosting account, your project files, and an FTP program.
Buy a domain and hosting account through a website like godaddy. Once you have that then you basically have your own little server. A server is just a machine thats on 24/7 which holds your project and makes the files live on the internet for people to view.
Once you create your project, then use ftp software such as filezilla to connect to your server. Drag your project into the public_html folder and your website will be live!
I think the word you are looking for is "web server." Examples of web servers are Apache, nginx, and IIS. A web server is a computer program.
A simple web server is sometimes called a "static web server."
To see a bit how this works, you can install a static web server like http-server on your computer (which requires Node.js to run), point it at a directory, and browse the site on your own PC.
So if you have a folder called "my-site" and a file in it called "index.html" and you ran the http-server in the my-site folder, and you went to http://localhost:8080, you would see "index.html" in your browser.
To put all this on the internet:
First, if you have an internet connection at home then you could technically set something up on your laptop that people could connect to. I won't get into it here because it's a little involved, but I think it's important conceptually to understand that you could do it if you wanted to.
You need to get access to a web server. A relatively fast way to set this up would be with zeit.
I would like to deploy an instance of TerriaJS on my site for the purpose of 3D (with 2D-fallback) geospatial mapping. I am a bit confused as to how to actually "deploy" TerriaJS on my site. I am very familiar with Leaflet... pretty much just include the leaflet.js file, create a div, and off you go. However, I am running through the wiki on TerriaJS's github page and all I see is a bunch of NodeJS.
What am I missing? I am able to get the map to run with NPM and I see a nice 3D map (running inside of a node web server instance), but that doesn't do me any good as I want to be able to embed the map on my web site.
If anyone has a nice (plain English) tutorial or starting point, that would be awesome.
Thanks.
The Node-based web server that we usually use with TerriaJS only does a few things:
It serves up the static HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that make up the application.
It includes a simple service at /proxy that allows TerriaJS to access geospatial data servers that don't support CORS.
It includes another service at /convert that uses OGR to transform geospatial vector data (e.g. shapefiles) to GeoJSON for display by the TerriaJS client.
Of these, only the first is required. So, you can copy the wwwroot directory of a working TerriaJS application up to whatever web server runs your site and it will run there just as well as it does on the Node-based server. You'll have to make sure that all of your geospatial data is either on the same server or is hosted on servers that support CORS, and shapefile conversion won't be supported, but other than that you should be good to go.
Embedding TerriaJS in an existing web page is a bit trickier. You'll want to start with the index.js, index.html, and index.less files in the TerriaJS app you started with (NationalMap maybe?) and modify them to suite your needs. You'll need to use the gulp-based build process. But once that is all done, you can just copy the files up to your web server as before.
Depending on your needs, you may also consider embedding TerriaJS on your page in an iframe rather than building it into the page directly. You can control the content of the catalog and customize some basic aspects of the UI by specifying parameters to the URL. You can also control it by posting cross-window messages as described here.
Finally, it's possible to use TerriaJS without the provided user interface, e.g. by providing your own. This is a pretty advanced scenario, though, so probably best to post a separate question if you want to go down that road.
Hi I have an xpages app that I have built using the mobile extension library controls. The ap works fine if you go straight to the notes server but as soon as we use netscaler to access we are getting errors accessing the extention libarary files. We have tracked it down to not being able to access these “/xsp/.ibmxspres/dojoroot-1.6.1/dojo/dojo.js or whatever is in or around there.
For this post http://www.intec.co.uk/domino-8-5-3-greater-power-over-dojo-thanks-ibm-for-your-work/ it looks like these files use the new OSGi plugin functionality and are contained in a jar file on the server rather than as separate files on the domino server. Any idea how we can get the citrix gateway to see these files and use them?
Thanks
Mel
Seems like a Netscaler configuration problem to me. If the manuals don't help, ServerFault might be the better place to ask this question. As a wild guess: /. might be blocked by default since ../../../ is a popular path-traversal attack vector. Let us know how it goes
My classic asp application would run on local system of users via internet browser. The code file resides in the root folder of the C: drive. But I want that the code cannot be seen by the users, and even if the file is opened then the code is not readable easily, like encrypted or encoded. I want to protect the code from being copied. Is it possible? If so, then how?
Other way is to Host application on one System and if other system is in connected in LAN they can use same site via hosted URL.
To deploy code in each system is not a good practice to secure.
I will agree with everybody else, suggesting a different design, but I will give you an answer that I think is applicable if you're dead set on what you're doing:
Write your server-side logic in Visual Basic 6 or .NET and expose as COM objects.
(A wilder idea would be to implement your own ISAPI filter, but I am not positive if the APIs allow you to intercept the loading of the source... thinking and googling around make me think that that's not possible, but not 100% sure)
I have done this with COM objects.
I'm going to need to push and pull files from a SharePoint site that is not hosted by my company (it is external). I'm only going to get a few days (if that) to get this working so I don't have much time to experiment.
To add to my requirements/headaches, I'm going to have to implement this with VBScript. .Net would be preferred for me but for reasons beyond my control I have to use VBScript. I don't have direct access to my VBScript web server, so I won't be able to implement this in .NET and use that object from VBScript.
I'm looking for anything that would help me accomplish this goal quickly and effectively. I found this post and am wondering if the PUT/GET method used here would work for me?
http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2004/06/06/149673.aspx (I got this link from: Sharepoint API - How to Upload files to Sharepoint Doc Library from ASP.NET Web Application)
To top all of this off, I've never done any programming or administration of a SharePoint site. My knowledge of SharePoint is that of a user. I'm aware that there is an API from the few Google searches I did. However, my readings make me believe that my code would need to run on or in proximity to the SharePoint server. I don't believe I have the proximity I need to use the API.
Sincere thank yous!

Frank
Progress Update: I'm still researching this. Tom pointed out that the example I had posted is probably from an old SharePoint version. His recommendation to use .Net to develop a prototype on Web Services is good but I'm hoping for more detailed answers.
I'm now wondering if I can accomplish what I need to accomplish using HTTP PUT and GETs. At my company, for a specific project we do use HTTP PUT and GETs to do something like this. We have files that are stored on an HTTP server and this is how we post and retrieve them.
Would this work over SharePoint or would SharePoint require special handling? Basically, do I have to use Web Services?
Progress Update 2: This link is helpful... Upload a file to SharePoint through the built-in web services
But I am still looking for more information on this topic... Thanks all...
You'll need to use the sharepoint lists web service for metadata and get/put for uploads. That link looks to be for SharePoint 2001, so hopefully you can use the newer/simpler version.
I recommend building something in .net first to get the web service calls worked out - some of the parameters can be quite tricky to debug, and I wouldn't want to be doing that on a remote vbscript page.
Assuming there is no metadata required and the SharePoint library is being used like a file server you can do most of what you want with PUT/GET, but you will probably need a call to GetListItems to find the urls to download.
There's an example on my blog of a lower level call to that web service - it's javascript, but probably close enough.

What setting up the .net version gets you is very quick set up of a connection to the server (just add a web service reference in visual studio) so you can get the query and queryoptions strings working to retrieve the items you want. Once that works you just have to put it all together as a string including the soap stuff for use without all the nice tools.
I'm a little unclear on the context of the implementation and the prerequisite of having to use VBScript. Are the files being moved from one server to another server or from a user's desktop to this SP server? or are they being accessed via software like Excel?
The first thing that sprang to my mind (this may sound crazy) was using the Office application to make the connection. Your script would call up Excel (just as an example) and pass it the vba needed to initiate the Open File, and then provide the full path to the file that needs to be retrieved. Then have it do a Save As to the location that needs the file. Do the same thing but in reverse for putting files on the SharePoint server.
The tricky part, obviously, is getting the script to interface with the Office app. I know this can be done with the Windows version of PHP, but I don't want to get into anything specific without knowing your situation.
I seriously wonder if you are going to be able to use VBScript to call the SharePoint web services. I haven't looked at the SharePoint web services for a while so I don't remember exactly how they are defined. I thought the web services were SOAP calls though which makes it trickier than
I'm not sure I tried to use Excel to call some web services with the MSSOAP.SoapClient and it seemed this component was unable to handle any WSDL types beyond the very simple strings. Anything with nested data would not work. Instead, you would need to create a COM object to process the conversion which is a major hassle. If you are able to use XMLHTTP component then it might be possible with VBScript, but I'm not sure if it will work with SharePoint web services.
I'm not sure what you mean, "I don't have direct access to my VBScript web server." Is your web server in VBScript (ASP)? Or did you mean SharePoint server?
You might consider C# Script (cs-script) as a scripted solution that uses .NET. I have had good success with it, although it does need to be installed on the computer that runs the script.
I'm integrating between two companies. According to this book, we should use AD FS to accomplish what I'm looking for.
I still don't actually have this working though so if someone has more information I will change the answer to this question.

I never really received a answer to this that worked out but this is no longer an issue for me.
What we ended up doing is scraping the html. In effect, we put together our own ad-hoc web service processor where instead of SOAP, html is used to communicate. Then we execute GETs, POSTs, and etc to work with the web service.
We had done something similar in VBScript in for WebDAV -- we had a class and created a new one to work with SharePoint.
