I was looking through some of the files of an application I downloaded and tried to view the contents of some of them, however, I was prompted to enter a password to the file which triggered me to ask how that was possible and how I could do it.
Attempts
I tried using the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option of file explorer and then changing the encryption key with certmgr, but it didn't work.
I tried seeing if there was a built-in windows zip folder password option but it seems that it was removed (I know that 7zip works but I mean its not the same)
So is there a way to password protect files?
I am using Windows 10 Pro Education with a KMS server
The situation is as follows: everything worked perfectly, PhpStorm worked without problems with FTP on the Remote Host tab. But at some point, it suddenly stopped doing it and when I open the project and try to view the contents of the host(s), this happens:
I can not click the [...] button to check the host(s) settings. If I connect to host(s) through another ftp client, everything works fine.
Question: how do I understand what the problem may be, and eliminate it?
Based on your idea.log file the issue seems to be with KeePass file that IDE is uses to store your credentials (logins and passwords). You can check the path to that file at Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | System Settings | Passwords
It's either inaccessible (has access permissions issue .. or wrong Master password) .. or is somehow corrupted.
Try this: close IDE, go there, backup that file (just in case) and try to open it with some another program that understands such KeePass format. That's to see if it's good inside.
If it's bad/cannot be used -- just delete it and IDE will create a new one on next launch.
I have this 63KB php file on a remote server. I'm using Filezilla to work on it. Until yesterday, I could open the file, make changes on it and then save it on the server. But now it started to change the file after saving and uploading back is complete. What it does to the file is: it copies like the first 100 lines and then pastes it till the file is 63KB. I tried changing transfer to binary from auto and restarting Filezilla(even my computer), it did not help.
Edit: I have this problem only with large files(like 60KB)
Check that the correct permissions are on the file and directories. It could be that the user account that you are trying to upload from doesn't have the correct permissions so the file isn't wrote.
1 version,. and am trying to do the following..
In short - Access remote machine and browse and EDIT on the fly i.e without creating a local copy. i.e i need to create a ftp connection and start editing the files, create folders etc on the fly
Access the Remote machine - which is working perfectly i.e am able to connect to remote machine
Now i need to browse the files and folders from the remote machine which is also working correctly [see IMAGE]
I need to do the following now .. just open the file ftpfile.tryit (having full permission) from remote machine on the main window and edit it DIRECTLY .. which am not able to perform, all am seeing is the following behavior
When i double-click there is no change/ nothing happens
When i rightclick, i need to copy the file to local machine (in my case it is mac) and then edit it.. which i do not want to do..
Under remote host configuration you can also see mapping tab, where you can to configure mapping between remote and local files. After you finish it, you can double click on file on remote machine and it must open local version, after you finish editing local version you can right-click on main editor window and choose option 'Sync with deployed to...'.
I hope it will help you.
I'm trying to figure out how to autoftp with Filezilla. Are there any other programs that do this right off the bat?
I use WinSCP for some of its amazing benefits. I connect to my FTP server with WinSCP and let it monitor my local folder /website/public_html.
Any changes I make in my local folder automatically get uploaded to my FTP server by WinSCP. The feature is called Keep remote directory up to date:
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_keep_up_to_date
As for SCSS, I also use it:
I have a script that opens a console window to watch my /website/scss files and compiles them to /website/public_html/styles/. WinSCP sees the CSS file has changed (or is new) and automatically uploads it.
Notice: The only downside is you cannot reach your error_log as that is automatically generated on the server by PHP. To do this you can easily instantiate another WinSCP to connect to your website. Now you have 1 WinSCP monitoring your local folder and 1 WinSCP where you can access your site map.
If by "autoftp" you mean "update the file on the server whenever I save it" and you're working with code, then I'd recommend the wonderful Notepad++
Notepad++ certainly is wonderful for this particular function and it even saves a cache of the whatever has been accessed and modified from the remote server.
The downside however (for me) is that Notepad++ will not auto-upload preprocessed CSS files like .scss or .less. I tried actually opening the resulting .css files in Notepad++ to mimic the act of editing them, but that still puts an extra step in the process. I have to click over to the tabs and manually save them (after the 'your file as changed prompt').
Currently, after I make changes, I click over to FZ and upload the files manually.
This response is late, but hopefully it will be helpful to those looking to get past Filezilla's "do you want to overwrite" prompt every time a file being edited locally is saved. Unfortunately, the Filezilla developers are staunchly opposed to making this behavior optional. It is a problem for many, especially when working with limited desktop space, since every time the prompt appears, one must expose the hidden filezilla window just to click okay.
Anyway, the answer is WinSCP. It is also free and is so similar to filezilla that I needed no learning to use it immediately.
Cheers!
There is an easier way to do that with NetBeans IDE, there is an option to upload files with FTP or SFTP on save, manually or on Run
Right click on your project and click Properties
Click the second category run configuration
Run As: Choose Remote Website (FTP,SFTP)
Project Url: put your website live link eg www.example.com
Upload files: Choose On Save
Remote Connection > Manage > Add > Connection name (put one) > FTP
Now add your ftp details. Make sure your Initial directory path is correct, (your website path) so you will not accidentally replace any files from other website in the file manager
Unfortunately there no option on filezilla can auto agree upload when file has been changed.
Mobaxtern can do that. You can choose "always upload" when file has been changed.
You can edit the file with any editor, whenever you save, it will upload.
I like to use WebDrive ($40) which mounts a remote server (S)FTP/SSH/Cloud to a local drive (eg. X: on Windows). You can then just do everything to drive X: as if it's a local drive and WebDrive automatically uploads the changes to the remote server.
