Is there an option to add S3 Storage to Windows? - windows

Im asking if there is an option to add S3 Storage to Windows? It should be something without a third party software.

No, S3 is not block storage, so it can't be directly mounted by an operating system. There are some third party tools that implement this, but in my experience they don't work very well.
Edit: It looks like Amazon does have a solution for this now.

What is the best way to host the Apple App Site Association file?

To enable certain Apple app features (Sign in with Apple in this case) Apple requires that you register an associated web domain. This domain needs to host a file called apple-app-site-association (with no extension) in the root of that domain.
I am looking for a free way to do this. My developer website is hosted by Wix website builder. Wix will not allow you to upload files with no extension. Even if they did, I'm not convinced that their domain system would allow it. Wix domains follow the pattern of https://{YourUser}.wixsite.com/{YourWebsite}. Apple would look for the file at https://{YourUser}.wixsite.com/, a location which you have no control over. I believe that the other free website builder, Squarespace, suffers in the same way. Someone found a Cloudflare workaround, but Cloudflare no longer works with either website.
I didn't know it would be such a pain to put this file somewhere. What is the best solution to this? I'm surely not the first person to stumble into it.
I wasn't able to get a working solution with any of the standard website building platforms. I was able to get two slightly different solutions working though. GitHub Pages is free and lets you set up a repository that meets the requirements for Apple's file. Firebase lets you do the same thing through their "Hosting" service, in the free tier. On Windows you will need to use command prompt to create a folder that begins with a period for both repositories. GitHub Pages can be uploaded to from any Git program, Firebase Hosting requires you use their command line tools package.

Team Development of HTML5 PhoneGap App

First, I don't know if this is the right place to make this question but, I don't see any other place where to put it.
I would like to know how could I develop a mobile HTML5 App (using PhoneGap) with another friend, without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
Could I somehow host the Code on a FTP Server and then we both could work on it for example, on Eclipse?
You need to look into using a source control system of some kind. Source control comes in many flavors, but in general it allows software developers to sync code between many servers, and allows developers to work concurrently without breaking each other's environments (imagine I have to take a component offline for many hours to code on it, but other people rely on it to do their work).
The two most common source control solutions are SVN and Git. Both of these work on Mac/Linux/PC and are documented thoroughly online.
without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
How should that be possible? When want to view view something on your local computer, you must have it available on your local computer. But I think I know what you are looking for, three suggestions:
Use a cloud-based IDE. Cloud9 for example is one of the best. However, all of them tend to be slow and buggy.
Just synch the files between your computers. One of the best hosted services is Dropbox, or you can install ownCloud on your own Server.
Use a version control system. This is pretty common for software development as you can easily reproduce who made which change when and why. The best option is git and Github for hosting.
I know this is months late, but check out Adobe's Phonegap Build. Build and deploy in the cloud. They also allow you to assign a development team.

iDisk-like features on Lion Server

The imminent death of iDisk is a bummer. I have used it for years to easily share files with clients without asking them to boot up their FTP software.
I am curious to know if there is a way to mimic iDisk's file sharing features through Lion Server. Specifically, the ability to share links to specific files and have them downloaded through a web browser. I miss the clean interface of iDisk through MobileMe.
I realize that there are third party providers like Dropbox and YouSendIt, but it would be nice to serve the files directly from our local server. I originally thought WebDav might be the answer, but it seems that's not the case.
You will have to install additional software to get that functionality. I've used and had good luck with Boxroom (http://boxroom.rubyforge.org/) but it requires Rails which may be too much work to install if you don't need it for anything else.
Searching for "open source php file manager" turns up a range of options which should work well on Lion as it has PHP already installed. I have also seen Java alternatives, some of which run on top of WebDAV, so it is probably best to start with the development language you are most comfortable with deploying and work from there.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, my Mini is in transit so I haven't had direct experience with Lion server yet:)
Have a look at Storage Made Easy Mac client. It works a similar way to the original iDisk but also had sync capability. See: https://storagemadeeasy.com/MacCloudTools/ and https://storagemadeeasy.com/wiki/maccloudtools/. There is a native disk piece and also a sync like dropbox piece to the App.

Is Java necessary to create an AMI?

I've been reading Amazon EC2 doc, and you can create the AMI with the AMI tools, but, for registering (and then be able to use it for insert in new instances), you need EC2 API tools, and they need Java.
Is it necessary then to install all Java package in a host, to register a just created AMI?
I find it unnecessary because Java installation takes too much space and performance.
Use the Amazon GUI to create the AMI instead?
Not all the tools require java, you can use the ruby ones for example
http://solutious.com/blog/2009/04/22/rudy-ec2-api-tools-replacement/ or Tim kay perl tools

However these are not offical tools, but 3rd party created tools.

Image Uploading with Classic ASP

Hey I was wondering if there were any way to upload images in ASP? I am working on my school's server and I don't really know what is installed and what isn't I Googled a little and came up with "Persits.Upload.1" I tried to instantiate the object with this line:
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
It gave me this error,
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
Am I to assume the component is not installed on the server and/or what should I do for uploading images?
Thanks
Sounds like it couldn't load the class, my ASP very rusty though.
That component is a commercial one, so unless someone has paid for it, you probably don't have it installed.
I have used free asp upload http://www.freeaspupload.net/ a few times, although it was a while a go, that might be a reasonably easy option for you.
File upload is a built in part of html and you can process it in asp without any custom compents. Here is some more information:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180312071127/http://www.4guysfromrolla.com:80/webtech/LearnMore/Upload.asp
This is part of the ASPJpeg library, which needs to be purchased (From Persits.com).
I have used this library to upload multiple items in the past.
To upload a single file you can use the <INPUT type=file name=filename>. This is just HTML though, but should work in all browsers
If it's for educational purposes it may be worth droping Persits an email to see if they will give you a free license.
They offer a 30-day free trial on their site.
Good luck
Will Rickards' link is good. You will also need permissions for the IUSR to create files in whatever directory you are uploading too.
IIS (6 I think?) comes with a limit of 200K for uploading files. Only the server admin can change it to allow more.
If you can get your schools server to install COM objects, there are a number of free uploading tools that make things very easy.
I have older classic ASP apps that use the Persits Software AspUpload component. It works great if you need to resize images, get image dimensions, etc., during the upload process.
It is a component you need to purchase and it needs to be installed on the Web server in order for it to work. It is not a core part of ASP.
by the way, you have a typo in your code, is
Server.CreateObject("Persist.Upload.1")
and not
Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
I bet that if you correct this, the code will go smooth :D
