I'm trying to get access to files that have been uploaded to SFTP via windows explorer without using an FTP client. Files can be uploaded to the external SFTP address and viewed through a client using my iFTP address, but I need to be able to read the files that have been uploaded through windows explorer.
Is this possible through the command prompt or any integration software like SSIS? I've been googling for the last hour and can't find anything.
thanks.
SSIS can solve this problem but only for FTP Connection.
If you need you use SFTP connection then use CozyRoc Integration with SSIS.
CozyRoc is a tool which provides components like SSIS. You can use it within Visual Studio after installation.
You should use SFTP task for SFTP connection.
Hope, this could help you out!

I need to debug a remote server and I setup a PhpStorm project based on a Shared Folder on the server.
The problem is that the project on the server is 13 GB in size and PhpStorm start downloading the files.
Is there a way to debug with Xdebug without downloading the files and use a network share? Not allowed to use SSH as there are many tutorials.
Thanks a lot for the help.
I am writing a portable application that connects to both a firebird database and a mysql database. I am writing the application in Delphi 2010, and using dbExpress components to connect to both databases. SQLconnection component uses dbxmys.dll and libmysql.dll for the mysql database, and dbxfb.dll and fbclient.dll for the firebird database.
On my development computer I had to move the dll files into /windows/system/. I think this is because of the system paths, in order to find the correct files and connect. I tried this on another client machine, and the software could not connect because the dll files were not found. Because this is a portable application I do not want to include a sub directory of the application directory to include the dll files, however I do not think the a client machine can run the applicaiton without having mySQL and Firebird installed and the pathing set correctly.
Is there a better way to do this? I have concidered making a sub directory and forcing my application to look there, (since firebird and mySQL can be installed anywhere) if they were included I would know for sure were they were at on any computer my app is launched from. But I don't really want to take this approach.
What are my options as far as direct db connection, or solving the dll requirement problem, I am not an experienced software developer. Thanks in advance.
Update:
The DLLs are now in the same directory with the exe, and the application launches fine. I Still do not want to use any dlls. I have found a few components that do not require dlls, but they also require payment, finding another free option would be ideal.
What you can do is to store the .dll within the main .exe as zipped resources, then expand them in a local folder (local "Application data" for instance), and execute the library from there. Therefore, you do not need to put files in the system path (probably with administrator rights), nor change the path itself.
As a result, you do not need to copy the .dll with the .exe, and if the .dll are already available, your application will use them. The .exe folder won't be "polluted" by the library files, and your software could be still self-installing: if you copy the .exe in another computer, you still have the .dll within it, ready to be installed in an hidden local folder.
This is for instance how our SynProject tool use Hunspell libraries for spell checking. See this SO answer.
What is the best practice for creating an installer for a winform application.
The application is supposed to install the following without connecting to internet.
.Net Framework 3.5sp1
MySQL Server
My SQL Connector
Restore Mysql db
Update Config file with the MySQL uname/pwd.
I have all the msi files for installing the above mentioned items. But am wondering about the best practice to create the installer.
Thanks in advance,
Hi I came up with a similar situation. Firstly you should have .NET framework offline installer which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=992cffcb-f8ce-41d9-8bd6-31f3e216285c. I assume you are using visual studio installer. There are couple of choices but I prefer to copy the offline .NET installer to the setup projects output directory and from requirements on target machine tab I set the install URL property of .NET framework the exact name of offline setup file. As described in the figure.
So the installer does not try to connect to a remote computer to download .NET framework and install it however I think it is more appropriate that it connects to a Microsoft server and installs it. Anyways the next step is to configure the MySQL server. MySQL is really generous for me since they support a fully documented noinstall files. You can find the document here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/windows-install-archive.html
Using a noinstall zip archive you can copy the dbengine core files to any folder on the clint machine. And change the configuration parameters of MySQL. You can name the MySQL service anything you want. Start the the service and create tables. You can do all of this stuff from custom actions tab of the setup project choosing the appropriate script files or you can write code for it. The beautiful thing is that your customer does not need to know that he/she is installing a database engine on the target machine. I hope this helps. Thanks.
Does anyone know how to Unzip password protected files in an SSIS package?
We have an SSIS package that currently use java.util.zip to unzip zip file and has been working perfectly for some time now. They now want to password protect the files and unfortunetly this library cannot do it.
We are using a SQL server 2008 with .Net 3.5 on the windows server 2008 R2.
I have enjoyed using DotNetZip, it's free, has rich functionality and is well documented
DotNetZip
examples of using it in SSIS
You would have to write a C# script that has the password and you would be able to unzip it using the built in .Net library.
Use an execute process task and call winzip, IZArc or similar program you can drive from the command line. Use the expressions properties to dynamically set paths and passwords for the command line
PragmaticWorks have a "TF Compression Task" in their Task Factory suite which handles password protected zip files very nicely. You'll need to buy a sever license to use their suite in production, but you can download and use it free within VS2008 BIDS.
I've got a licensed copy of Task Factory and would recommend it to anyone who uses SSIS in a corporate environment.
I am wondering if it is possible to:
1) Develop SSIS Package for Data Flow Task
I am aware of how to do this on a local or network SQLServer,
However is it possible to create a package that uploads to a "remote" sqlserver, ie one that is not on site or on the LAN.
any guidance would be great
Thanks
Since I don't see anyway the package could see the other server, I would suggest loading the data to one or more flat files and putting them on an FTP site. Then having the remote server run an SSIS package to pick up the file(s) and process it into their system. This is basically what we do when our clients need data from us.
