FileZilla Client - Step by step installation and upload instructions

FileZilla Client – Step by step installation and upload instructions.

 

Download and install FTP client.

Step 1. After you launch FileZilla you should get such screen:

 

As you can see, the interface is not too complicated. On the left you can see your local folder tree (teal frame) and selected folder content (green frame). The view and program windows are customisable so once you feel more comfortable with it you can adjust it to your preferences.

To configure FileZilla to connect to your website please click on the small computer icon on top left (red arrow). 

---

Step 2. A Site Manager window will show up. 

Click on New Site button and enter a name for the new connection settings. (It can be really anything, it's just so that you know where it takes you to ;)).

---

Step 3. Now you need to fill in the connection details (marked with red arrows). 

Please enter host name (this is your FTP address, please NOTE: NO "www", "http" but "ftp" goes in front of the domain name). 

Your Server Type is FTP. Logontype is Normal.

Username and password should be provided to you in Login Information e-mail from VELNET. 

If you're not using your computer or you share your pc with other people and you don't want them to be able to connect to your site you can select the option not to remember your password (underlined with blue).

Once you're sure the settings are correct click Save and Exit button.

---

Step 4. Now After you returned to main program window click small arrow next to the computer icon top left to see drop-down menu. Pick your website from the list to connect.

---

Step 5. Connection established. You will see the folders of your site on the left side of the screen. They vary depending on the type of server you're on (information provided in Login Details email from VELNET).

One of the folders you see is your website main directory, the rest of them are system folders, any modifications you make to the system folders may damage your website structure.

For cPanel server type your upload directory is public_html folder. (for PLESK look further down)

If you are on PLESK server your folder structure will look different and your upload folder is httpdocs.

---

Step 6. Enter (double-click) your upload directory (public_html or httpdocs).

---

Step 7. Now find (your website)files you want to upload on your local machine (left-side folder tree and content).

Simply select the files and drag-and-drop them to the right of the screen (your web folder).

You will notice the transfer progress on the bottom of the screen.

If all is OK, your FileZilla window will show the files you uploaded on the right.

---

Congratulations! You have just uploaded the website. It should be visible in your internet browser window.

NOTE: In order for the website to show only after you enter the domain name in internet browser your main webpage MUST be named index.html (or index.htm, index.php... you get the idea).

---

Step 8. If you change/update any of the files on your PC and wish to apply the changes on your website, all you need to do is again to drag-and-drop the desired file to it's web destination and confirm the prompt window to OVERWRITE the file on the server. 

NOTE: Please make sure you really want to do the changes as you will not be able to change it back, unless off course you have a back up on your local machine.

---

Step 9. When you upload everything you need you can close the connection. To that click the icon pointed by red arrow. 

You can safely close the program now by clicking the "x" in red button top left of the screen.

Ipad on Top

Are you one of the two out of 10 U.S. tablet owners who doesn't have iPad?

Yes, you're a minority. But do you feel like an individualist -- that grand defiant person who refuses to be one of the sheep? Or are you embarrassed to take your tablet out for fear the pad people will scoff at you? If it's any consolation, your numbers are growing ever so slightly -- from 9 out of 10 (based on Apple assertions) just two months ago. If there's safety in numbers, you've got a long way to go yet.

Eighty-two percent of U.S. tablet owners are pad people -- er, iPad owners, Nielsen revealed on May 5. But that's not you. You're more likely to be an "other" tablet owner than any, well, other. That category accounts for 9 percent of U.S. owners -- right, nearly one in 10. The next lot of you own Samsung Galaxy Tab (4 percent). Another 3 percent own the Dell Streak and 2 percent the Motorola XOOM. Well, so much for Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" pulling away people from iPad, eh.

Among the pad people, 43 percent suckered up for the big spending, plunking down anywhere from $629 to $829 for iPad with WiFi and 3G. Thirty-nine percent own Wi-Fi only iPads. They only paid between $499 and $699. But iPad buyers aren't obligated to take a costly data plan or lock into a two-year contract as you most likely did. Are you now feeling sorry about those monthly data-plan fees for the tablet you daren't take out in public?

Nielsen wrote about you -- well, supposedly, in a blog post today that summarized new research. I say "supposedly" because those eight out of 10 pad people. We can only assume that the findings reflect your behavior. Nielsen says that "iPad continues to dominate the conversation -- and market." Perhaps iPad overly dominates the research, too.

Nielsen claims that about one third of tablet owners use their desktop PC less and 3 percent "do not use it anymore." It's 30 percent and 2 percent, respectively, for laptops.

"Twenty-seven percent of those who also own e-readers said they use their e-reader less often or not at all," according to Nielsen. You were such a rugged individualist when buying Kindle years ago. Now look at you. Uh-oh, "25 percent [of] tablet owners who own portable games consoles are using those devices less often, if at all, since purchasing a tablet." So much for that Nintendo 3DS, eh?

But is any of this about you, or just the pad people? We want to know. Be proud of being different, or pretend to be so you can tell us in comments.

Mail Merge Toolkit to attach file

 

Mail Merge Toolkit is a powerful add-in for Microsoft® Office® helping to extend the mail merging capabilities in Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Word® and Microsoft® Publisher®. It allows you to do the following:

• Insert data fields into the message subject, so that not only the contents of a message but also its subject is personalized.
• Attach a single file or numerous ones to messages.
• To send HTML or RTF messages from Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook so that the security system doesn't reject messages and Internet links remain working (some problems with Internet links are already fixed by Office XP Service Pack 2, but not all). In particular, Mail Merge in Microsoft Word provides a higher level of correspondence safety. Mail Merge Toolkit is compatible with all recent versions of the Microsoft Word. So, mail merging in Word 2003, Word 2007 or Word 2010 isn’t a problem any longer!
• Send messages to multiple recipients in HTML, RTF and GIF formats directly from Microsoft Publisher.
• When sending GIF messages from Microsoft Publisher, HTML-links can be assigned to image areas (image map technology). By using messages in GIF, you can be sure that your recipient will be able to read it within any email client.

 

The Mail Merge Toolkit dialogue looks very similar to the standard Microsoft Office box "Merge to Electronic Mail" (see screenshot). In that box, like in the standard one, you can choose the data field containing recipient addresses, set message subject (btw, in Mail Merge Toolkit you can use automatic data field insertion like in a document text), set the format, and choose files to be attached to each message if necessary.

With Mail Merge Toolkit you can use all the features of Microsoft Office for professional mass mailing! Enjoy the easiest and at the same time most effective work with Mail Merge in Word! Being one of the basic text editors nowadays, Microsoft Word is applied by the most of PC users. So, Mail Merge in Microsoft Word is of the paramount importance for every Microsoft Office user!

How to install the WinXP HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7?

How to install the WinXP HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Free)

 

 

HyperTerminal is a Windows XP application that helps you to connect your computer to other  remote computers. This application is also used by NetAdmins to connect their laptops to switches to perform regular maintenance operations. But Windows Vista or Windows 7 do not include this application by default. All the alternatives available are either paid and the free ones are not up to the mark. In this article we will tell you how to install the Windows XP’s HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

 

First of all you need to get access to a Windows XP machine and copy two files hypertrm.dll andhypertrm.exe from that system to your target Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine. Alternatively, you can download the files in a zip-package from here. Once you have the zip file, you need to extract the two files from that package to your target system (Windows Vista or Windows 7). CHeck this screenshot below.

 

 

Make sure you keep the files hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe in the same folder. Now you can launch the HyperTerminal client by double clicking the hypertrm.exe file. And there you have a fully working HyperTerminal client. This HyperTerminal client functions normally on your Windows Vista or a Windows 7 system as it would on any other Windows XP system. The best part about this method is that the HyperTerminal client you get this way is both free and it works.

Outlook Keyboard Shortcuts

You can accomplish that using two of the easiest to remember keyboard shortcuts, ones we should all be using: Ctrl+N for new item, Del to delete (or Ctrl+D).

The following is a (very) short list of some of the most popular, useful, and easy to remember keyboard shortcuts – ones we should be using more often. There are a lot more keyboard shortcuts but this is a good starting point.

Ctrl+N will get you a new item form in any folder. If you’re in a mail folder, it will be a new message form, in the calendar, a new appointment form.  Use Ctrl+Shift+M for new Mail when looking in any folder, Ctrl+Shift+A for new Appointment, Ctrl+Shift+C for new Contact, Ctrl+Shift+N for Note, or Ctrl+Shift+J for Journal. If you have texting configured in Outlook 2010, Ctrl+Shift+T is a new text message. Notice the pattern? Tasks and Meetings break the pattern as you’ll use Ctrl+Shift+K for a new task and Ctrl+Shift+Q for a new meeting. Oh well, the most used items – mail, appointment, and contact are easily remembered.

To save, press Ctrl+S. Use Alt+S to send an email, meeting or task request. Note that Alt+S will save contacts, appointments, and tasks.

Want to delete the selected message? Use the Delete key. Ctrl+D will also work. Both are much faster than switching to the Home tab to click the Delete button. (I did that last week on my tablet. My excuse – no keyboard. I added the delete command to the QAT to speed it up.)

Reply? Ctrl+R, or Ctrl+Shift+R to reply all. Forward is Ctrl+F.  More patterns. :)
Copy cut, paste and select all work in most Windows programs (Ctrl+C, X, V and A). Oh, and Ctrl+P for print.

Want to initiate a send and receive? Use F9.

Alt+F4 will close the current window (this is a windows shortcut and works in most programs).

Alt+F1 toggles the navigation pane off, on, and minimized. Alt+F2 does the same for the To-Do bar.

Use Tab and Shift+Tab to roll forward and backward between the panels – navigation pane or folder list, to message list, to reading pane. (This is one place where a mouse can win the speed race.)

Ctrl+1 jumps to the mail module, while calendar is ctrl+2, contacts are 3. Ctrl+6 is the folder list. Ctrl+4, 5, 7, and 8 (9 if you use BCM) cover the rest of the navigation pane modules.

If you are looking at your day, week or monthly calendar, Alt+ 0 thru 9 (or, 1 through 0) displays the next 1 to 10 days.

Tech News - Microsoft mocks Google's Web video decision

Microsoft mocks Google's Web video decision

 

A Microsoft evangelist has mocked Google's decision to remove H.264 video support from Chrome, implying that Google is trying to impose an edict on an industry that's already made up its mind to the contrary.

In a blog post, Tim Sneath, who runs Windows and Web evangelism for Microsoft, likens Google's WebM video codec to the utopian but unsuccessful Esperanto language. The blog post rewrites Google's original announcement that the company is removing support for the widely used H.264 codec to advance its own WebM.

Both technologies can be used with the nascent HTML5 standard to embed video directly into Web pages without using a plug-in such as Adobe Systems' Flash Player. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 beta and Apple's Safari support H.264, while Opera and Mozilla's Firefox support WebM and the earlier, largely unsuccessful Ogg Theora technology for encoding and decoding video. Sneath wrote:

The Esperanto language was invented last century as a politically neutral language that would foster peace and international understanding...We are supporting the Esperanto and Klingon languages, and will consider adding support for other high-quality constructed languages in the future. Though English plays an important role in speech today, as our goal is to enable open innovation, its further use as a form of communication in this country will be prohibited and our resources directed towards languages that are untainted by real-world usage.

Sneath hyperlinks "Esperanto" references to the WebM Project, "Klingon" to Theora, and "English" to the Wikipedia entry for H.264. (He doesn't attempt to draw any parallels between the difficulties of learning English and the expense of licensing H.264 patents.)

The post is titled "An Open Letter from the President of the United States of Google." And in a tweet, Sneath referred to Google's decision as "despotism."

Clearly, the post is snarky and jocular. But it still can be included as an example of the backlash against Google's H.264 move.

Microsoft is among the patent holders that receives payments when the MPEG LA licenses the H.264 pool of patents, but Microsoft said it pays more to the licensing group for including H.264 support in Windows 7 than it receives in royalty payments from the group.

Outlook 2010 gives error while booking resource or sending invite

Direct Booking does not successfully book a resource in Outlook 2010

 

Error like: Direct Booking does not successfully book a resource in Outlook 2010

 

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to configure registry data to enable Outlook direct booking:

• Modify the registry manually
• Configure the registry by using Group Policy
• Deploy the registry data by using the Office Customization Tool

 

Method 1: Manual modification of the registry

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322756  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

To use the direct booking feature in Outlook 2010, you must add registry data to your Outlook client. Use the following steps to add this registry data to enable direct booking:

1. Exit Outlook.
2. Start Registry Editor.
• In Windows Vista, click Start

, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 

 If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then select the following subkey in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar

4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type EnableDirectBooking, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click EnableDirectBooking, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
8. Exit Registry Editor.
9. Start Outlook.

 

Method 2: Configure the registry by using Group Policy

The registry data that is required to enable direct booking in Outlook can be configured by using Group Policy. The default Group Policy template (Outlk14.adm) for Outlook 2010 does not contain the policy setting that controls Outlook direct booking. Therefore, you must use a custom Group Policy template to enable direct booking by using Group Policy.

To deploy this setting by using a custom Group Policy template, follow these steps:

1. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
   
   
   

Download the Outlk14-DirectBooking.zip package now.

For more information about how to download Microsoft support files, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

119591  How to obtain Microsoft support files from online services

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

2. Extract the custom .adm template from the Outlk14-DirectBooking.zip package.
   
   Note The custom .adm template contains the following text.
3. CLASS MACHINE
4. CLASS USER
5.  
6.    CATEGORY !!L_MicrosoftOfficeOutlookDirectBooking
7.          POLICY !!L_TurnOnOffDirectBooking
8.              KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar"
9.              EXPLAIN !!L_TurnOnOffDirectBookingExplain
10.              VALUENAME "EnableDirectBooking"
11.              VALUEON NUMERIC 1
12.              VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
13.          END POLICY
14.       END CATEGORY
15. [strings]
16. L_Version="14.0.4760.1000"
17. L_LCID="1033"
18. L_MicrosoftOfficeOutlookDirectBooking="Outlook 2010 Direct Booking"
19. L_TurnOnOffDirectBooking="Enable or disable direct booking"
20. L_TurnOnOffDirectBookingExplain="This policy controls the Outlook direct booking feature in
    Outlook 2010 \n \n By default, Outlook 2010 does not implement the direct booking code
    used in earlier versions of Outlook, and a meeting request is sent to the resource
    mailbox the same way a meeting request is sent to regular meeting attendees.\n \n
    Enable this policy to configure Outlook to use the direct booking code whenever you add
    a mailbox to the Resources box in a meeting request.\n \n
    If you disable this policy or do not configure this policy, when you send a meeting
    request to a mailbox configured for direct booking, the meeting is not successfully
    booked. You do not receive an error message in this scenario. If you open the mailbox
    configured for direct booking, the meeting request is in the Inbox folder."
21. Add the Outlk14-DirectBooking.adm file to your Group Policy Editor.
    
    Note The steps to add the .adm file to the Group Policy Editor vary, depending on the version of Windows that you are running. Also, because you may be applying the policy to an organizational unit (OU) and not to the whole domain, the steps may also vary in this aspect of applying a policy. Therefore, we recommend that you check your Windows documentation for more information.
    
    After you add the .adm template to the Group Policy Editor, go to step 4.
22. In the Group Policy Editor, follow these steps:

a.            Expand User Configuration.

b.            Expand Policies.

c.            Expand Administrative Templates: Policy definitions.

23. Click Outlook 2010 Direct Booking.
24. Under Settings, double-click Enable or disable direct booking.
25. Click Enabled, and then click OK.

After you enable the policy, the policy setting will be applied to the Outlook client workstations when the Group Policy update is replicated. To test this change, run the following command at a command prompt on a client workstation:

gpupdate /force

After you run this command, start Registry Editor on the client workstation to make sure that the following registry data exists on the client:

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
DWORD: EnableDirectBooking
Value: 1

If you see this registry data in the registry, the Group Policy setting is applied to this client. Start Outlook to verify that this change resolves the problem.

 

Method 3: Deployment of the registry data by using the Office Customization Tool

You can also deploy the registry data by using the Add registry entries option in the Office Customization Tool (OCT). Follow these steps in the OCT to deploy registry data that re-enables the direct booking feature in Outlook 2010.

Note To use the OCT, you must have an Enterprise edition of Office 2010. If you have a Retail edition of Office 2010, you receive the following error message when you try to start the OCT:

Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product.

1. Start the OCT by using a command similar to the following:

\\server_name\share_name\Office2010\Setup.exe /admin

2. In the Select Product dialog box, click Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.
3. In the Select Product dialog box, select your Office product. Then, click OK.
4. In the navigation pane of the OCT, select Add registry entries, and then click Add.
5. In the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box, specify the following settings, and then click OK:
• Root: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
• Data type: REG_DWORD
• Key: Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
• Value name: EnableDirectBooking
• Value data: 1

The following figure displays these changes made in the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box:

After you click OK in the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box, the OCT displays the registry data as shown in the following figure: 

6. Complete any remaining tasks in the OCT, and then save the .msp file.
7. Deploy Office 2010 by including this .msp file.
