I have a site running using umbraco 4.7.1
The customer wants to create a client-only functionality where the user can upload various files (much like a ftp server) but to their own area within umbraco so each client's files are kept separate.
I am pretty new to Umbraco. How should I go about this?
Thanks
FTP Functionality is not specific to Umbraco or any CMS for that matter. It is configurable in the IIS Server. It could be either the same server where you are running your Umbraco or a different one.
I'm also not much aware about the Umbraco CMS, but most CMS do provide you a way to extend their functionality in the form of plugins/modules. You may write your own Umbraco plugin that does the FTP transfer based on your requirement.
Here is a guide about how to write this FTP client in VB.NET programming language:

I'm new to web developing and had to design a website for college. I decided to make it from scratch. I am currently hosting the website on Google Drive and it's working fine. Does this mean that it will work fine on a hosting company's web server? The main reason I ask is because of the many errors I get when using Markup Validation!
There's a lot of variables involved in this decision. The main assumption I'll make is that it's a flat site with no server scripting involved. If that's the case, you shouldn't have any issues copying them over to another web server. Though you should fix up those Markup Validation errors.
When I mention server scripting, I'm referring to PHP/ASP/Coldfusion/etc code that may be in your pages.
I'm an enthusiast on web-technology. I want to know where does the code of a website resides? Is it hosting in all possible cases? Do usually people give access code to source code from admin panel? What if I want such functionality in my site? Will it be secure enough?
The site's code lives on your web server. The security depends on the web server itself.
It highly depends on the features of your hosting environment. If they provide ssh or ftp access, then yes, you can most likely access and modify the source code of your sites. Otherwise you are at the mercy of the control panel(s) of the hosting or the admin area of your particular website.
Im looking for an out of the box solution to be able to add an upload form so that my users can upload large files from my website onto my own FTP server.
Has anyone found a good service to accomplish this? Again I want to be able to use my own server in my office and i also need a form attached to the uploaded file.
I run a graphics printing company and need to be able to receive large files that my designers send to me.
I want my user experience to be painless and not complicated as possible so i would prefer if they did not have to download any FTP clients like filezilla or transmit.
I just want them to fill out the form
upload their files
click send
then i receive it on my server
If there is any off the shelves solution for this that would be amazing.
Thank you!
I guess this is an "out of the box" web app. It allows you to brand the app to look like your own web site by modifying a couple of files. All the functionality is built in. It is called Simple2FTP and can be found at www.Simple2ftp.com
Maintaining a ftp server is not trivial. There are various dropbox-type services on the
web that are very easy to use.
We are developing a Q&A site for a client with very limited budget. Site will be developed in ASP.NET MVC 3, and client will have an option to switch between SQL Express and SQL CE.
We would like to have some full text search functionality but don't know what would be the best for this scenario. So far we've seen SOLR and Lucene.NET, but the most likely site will be hosted on some shared hosting so we have to take that into account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
IMHO bin deployed Lucene.NET is the way to go. You just might need to modify it so that it stores the index in a folder you have write access.
Is it possible to download and install Ning on one's own server? Also does anyone ning's license.
My sense is that you cannot install Ning locally or on a test server. If that is the case does anyone know a good open source social networking platform?
Thanks,
Ning is a hosted application, you can't download it. I would try Elgg: www.elgg.org - it's open source and pretty mature at this point.
There are also various modules/plugins for various CMSs (Drupal, Plone, Joomla, WordPress, etc.) that you can use to add socnet functionality to a site.
Sitefinity from Telerik has a Social Network starter pack if you into ASP.NET programming.
that's not hard. if you pay the monthly fee to get rid of their google ads, you can redirect your ning address to any URL you wish (it will still be hosted on their servers though)
