I have been trying to work out how this is possible to very little avail.
I'm on Mac OS X Lion and need to encrypt CD-R for Windows user.
All I want to do is encrypt a folder containing important website files to CD-R so that I can safely send the files via the post on a CD.
truecrypt is a freely-available, cross-platform solution that should work for you. It can be configured to encrypt directories or special block files, that are only accessible with a password.
Presumably you could put the Windows installation files on the CD-ROM as well, in order to make it easier for the recipient to access the data.
Another approach would be using GPG, to encrypt a .zip or .tar.gz file, or even zip itself using AES encryption.

FTP server contains files in one directory.
File names contain 4 character fixed prefix (PRE_ ) timestamp and some suffix
and have different extensions like
PRE_20140101153807.1233511.PDT-220-4362133316.ext
PRE_20140101253807.12e3511.PDT-220-5362133330-32.ext
PRE_2014010"253807.12e3511.PDT-220-78921333123.ex2
new files are added periodically to this directory, it may contain whole year files.
How to mirror this directory in Windows computer local hard drive ?
How to create some bat file which looks for new files added to this directory and downloads them
if nessecary ?
Is it possible to use windows ftp.exe application for this or other solution ?
ftp folder is acced from windows via OpenVPN
Andrus.
How much data are you talking about? While it may not be very elegant, and it could be vconsidered a waste of bandwidth, it may be feasible and reliable to connect to the FTP server, turn off prompting and doing an MGET of all the files.
Alternatively, you could write a short script to connect to the server and get a list of files, then iterate through the list and see which ones are not present locally and do GETs of them.

I am considering upgrading my work computer to use windows 8 as the new file transferring feature seems very useful. Unfortunately after installing windows 8 on my home pc to test it out, the files are being transferred in separate dialogs as opposed to this image provided by microsoft.
As I am transferring files constantly a single transfer dialog would make things much less confusing. Does anyone know what settings to change to make file transfers appear in the same window?
To make file transfers appear in the same window you need to transfer files locally.
This is because a network connection can break out at anytime.

I wanted to know in what language has the desktop application of Dropbox been coded?
Is it Python or Ruby?
It is python notice the Python25.dll file in the bin folder next to the exe
99.9 % of their code is in Python. Used on the server backend; desktop client, website controller logic, API backend, and analytics. Not on Android due to memory constraints. Runs on a single code base using Python. Dropbox runs on Windows, Mac, Linux using tools like PyObjs, WxPython, types, py2exe, py2app, PyWin32.

Let's say I'm downloading a website to my computer via FTP. In my FTP client, I select all of the files and folders in the website's root folder and begin downloading them to an empty folder on my desktop. Halfway through the transfer, I'm interrupted by a prompt asking me whether I want to replace such-and-such file or folder. Why does this happen?
It's just something that I've noticed over the years. And I never know what the right answer is when I'm in the middle of transferring thousands of files. I usually say "yes", but then I doubt the integrity of the copy. It happens sporadically when I'm downloading or when I'm uploading. I assume it's not a bug in my FTP client (FileZilla), or else it's a very, very persistent bug.
Edit: OK, so my question was switftly and mercilessly closed as off topic. Where should I have posted it? Can it be moved there?
This may happen if you're using windows locally, and linux remotely.
Since linux allows for case sensitive filenames, and windows does not. Your FTP may have files like "Images.jpg" and "images.jpg" and "IMAGES.jpg", but all three of these are the same to windows, so you will be prompted to overwrite them when more than one of them is downloaded.

Is there a legal way to re-install windows XP without the cd but I have the cd key. I would like to download a legal ISO image but I can't find one. There is no image of windows already installed on my computer by the way.
unless you have a MSDN developer login, you won't be able to find those ISOs "legally" (or directly from Microsoft). Just download one from "disreputable" sources, and install using your CD key. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't crack the OS, or are using a stolen key.
Is your CD key not working because it is an OEM key? This is, a key that is locked to a computer you bought. For example: I cant buy a dell, then install windows on another computer with the windows key that came with that machine.
