In Flash FXP, right click on the file ou want to chmod. There is an option in the context menu to change these settings.Browsing through the topic "Which FTP client is best", I am surprised that so few people seem to use Flash FXP! This is a wonderful client. The "scene" uses it a lot, even provided a graphically beefed-up version of it.

WOW, m^e, thank you for this explanation. It really sheds light on some questions I have been aksing for years.Serious, man, this is the first time I *really* understand one-way versus two-way encryption. Someone famous said, the people which can expain complicated matters with simple words are the real geniuses.I don't want to get into brown-nosing (remember, m^e, I used that term in my first post here 15 days ago), but this is an excellent example. Let me quote Albert Einstein, whom I admire among other things just for that, with another example: When asked how to explain the wireless telegraph, he responded, "The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat."

Just in case you have not heard yet, imagemagick and GD libraries are in the process of being installed at the server(s). This might take a couple of days, so we must be patient. Sorry, I can't shout because 1) you are offline 2) I am hoarse

Cassandra, if you are interested in Proxomitron, you might want to read my post on this fine board covering some features this proggie has as well as some links. The fasterfox extension for firefox (Link) also has a prefetch fuction.

Well, first of all thank you for introducing it. As a beta tester you are in some way affiliated to MS, so I'll be careful with what I write First, though, a question: why did you not make a regular screenshot? If I am not mistaken, these are pics taken from the screen with a digital camera...? I have been using Trillian 3.1 Pro, until I found out that it is not fully compatible with MSN's video chat feature, a thing that I like a lot. So I asked a friend who uses IM a lot and he said, "MSN messenger 7.5 with the messpatch (http://www.mess.be/) and that works just great no popups no adds etc.." Which I did and BINGO! no mor frickin' ads. I am ads-allergic, as you might tell from my post here. Some features look interesting. I wonder when the day will come when users outside the US have all these local amanities available to them.

have you taken a look at the website, m^e? This is a joke! Not a good one though. Looks like you got into a time warp when you call up this page. Back to the mid-nineties First thing I kook at when I want to know about a new program is the screenshots. Mai mee, as our Thai friends would say. For non-Thai speakest: No have! No have, no try, no downloadie! :PcurareOn an additional not, trying to post this as a tutorial is a joke in itself. Not a good one though either

On what OS? curare

Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts. This is an interesting topic and I would like to add my 2 posting point of thoughts to it. I would go for the AMD 64 chipset as well, after reading tons of reviews. WeaponX, I would not worry too much about Vista. It will take presumably more than 6 months until a stable version is available. Service pack 1 should be there before you install it. But, other than that, I am not sure if you'll want Vista on your machine at all. This OS has built in many restrictions, unnecessary alerts, and what not. It's bloated in a way you'd think M$ is in the HD making business in the first place and not in writing SW. I can tell, because I have a beta version installed here. And while this is not the final product, you get an idea where it's headed. Forget it! It is not even tasteful anymore. It's sitting on my HD but I rarely call it up because I simply detest an OS which tells me what file to open and what not (for example mp3 files). Do you want such an OS? I don't I installed ubuntu 5.10 here as well on the same machine, and it is so amazing, so effective and so efficient without putting any unnecessary clutter on either your desktop or your HD. Plus it is of course very stable. curare

What does our dear leader say to this? Which one does he prefer? I personally would go for the first one with the text of the second one. But then: look at my avatar. I am not so sure if I at all qualify for participating in this discussion! curare

Hahahaha ROFLWhy would someone want to do this! I fully support sparx's view: stay away from it as far as possible!This my comment is not meant to belittle the work of the coder/developer or whatever he is. Great work - wrong subject! How about making IE look like Firefox? I'd install that immediately curare(knowing that it's easier to make firefox look like IE than vice-versa)

Incredible how many options to prevent yourself from staring at these friggin' ads have accumulated here in just a couple of days. It shows the effectiveness of collaboration with tools like discussion boards. Even as an internet veteran of 11+ years I am amazed. Mostly because there are millions of discussion boards out there and clearly one cannot follow them all in due time. So I concentrate my activities on only a couple of them where I read most posts. And this community is a good example how it can work. Cheers!curare

In adding my 2 cents as a newly hosted member I would like to say that I did the right thing unknowingly. Accumulated 34 credits, got hosted, panicked a little because I had thought I would still have 3 or 4 credits, participated in the discussions a little, and now I have a 23 days cushion pillow. All within 12 days of signing up here. Or was it 14 days? Anyway, a neglectable period of time considering what you get.curare

Funny, yordan, I read this here over and over again. "If you open your box, you lose the warranty". I am from Austria, and I would say 85 - 90% of the PCs sold here are not sealed. Nor are they in my second home, Thailand. Nor in Germany, Sweden. Seems to be a different story in the States and other countries as well. Of course the perspective very common here is, "if it's sealed, don't buy it". That's at least my attitude and that of all of my friends. I bought one, opened it, put some extra stuff in it, then the power unit died. Brought it to the dealer, he changed the power unit and home I went. I was not charged one cent. Has to do with consumer's rights and consumer's protection laws. I defintitly am happy with the situation here. And I understand that in a country where the corporations and not the people run the land things are different ;)curare

Changing the host file is one good approach to minimize ads on the websites you visit. And it is one of the oldest methods. Remember junkbuster? It installed a proxy on your own machine and you had to exclude ad-hosting domains in a text file. Things improved with Proxomitron (Google search) which has a partly graphical userface. It also works as a local proxy. I strongly recommend it. Nowadays it's easy. Even IE now comes with a pop-up blocker, and the easiest way to individually block ads is for sure the Firefox extension Adblock. The differences between Proxomitron and Adblock are big though. Adblock downloads the ad and hides it, while Proxomitron replaces the ad with a small hint like [Ad]. It is also able to replace anything on any webpage. That includes frames (ads are frequently put in frames). You could read the New York Times and have a frame on top with the contents of a webcam from African wildlife. Still, the webpage you are visiting would load much quicker than with all the ads. If you overedo it though it might turn out that some other features of the webpage willl not work. I personally find it quite hard to filter out google ads without harming the site's functionality. But those bother me the least, this blinking flash s**t is an other story though. With Proxomitron you can set up different config files which you can change with a mouseclick. Comes in hany when you see nothing but ads on a site. If you've been to some chinese websites you know what I mean. Give Proxomitron a try! go to proxomitron.info and do some reading. The original developer has left the program long ago, even the domain is up for sale now. *thinking of grabbing it* The program is so powerful that a developer who started using it called it "the second most powerful script after HTML/PHP". I could not judge, I just use it and see very few ads without compromizing the site's functionality. curare

I would go for the option of putting the old HD in the new computer as well. Data transfer is quick and safe. Just make sure that you "copy", not move in case of eventual data loss during transfer. Later, if you don't need the old PC anymore, you could still make use of the additional HD space in your new machine. Don't we all need more HD space curare

This post certainly improved your situation Yeah, all of it is a little bit confusing at the first moment and it takes a while until you really know all the bits and pieces of it. I guess I will be in for a similar surprise sooner or later. Having said that, I would like to add that IMHO, who ever tried to write a comprehensive tutorial or a help file will agree that this is a never ending job - similar to writing code. The moment you think you did it finally, all the aspects and possibilities have been covered, a situation pops up that you have not included in your thoughts. So you go and write version 1.0.1, and the moment you finished that and want to reward youself for your good work with a beer, ... see above. It's like a vicious circle. And as far as I can see there is no cure for it. That's how things are in this world, it's not perfect.curare

No problem! Certainly not. curare

Thanks for your advice. I'll just wait and see what happens in the next week or two. Appearently I am not the only one facing these problems, but I could not have told, as I am new here and the forum search yielded not much. But it gives me an opportunity to reply here, for wich I am grateful in order to increase ... my keyboard usage I was not really turned on though by the fact that two scripts did not work. But I am patient curare Excuse me, Mr Houdini, and please don't tie me up as they do you, but at which website did you lok? The URL is that of the gallery developer, not mine curare

I dunno why you link to a site that copied it from slashdot? The original URL is https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=25719&ort=1&op=Change and there are a lot of comments about it, see https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=25719&lat&pid=2790445.Otherwise, the posting is from January 5 2002, so what do you post it's non-original version on November 13, 2005? The posting on slashdot has been scored -1, offtopic and at the URL you give says, "Why Slashdot Sucks (Score:0, Troll)" Now, my friend I hope you know what troll means...!? curare

Thank you for both of your replies. I have found out that the official support <support@xisto.com> is quite helpful also, but I do not want to bother them too much. That is why I posted here. The language is PHP and the function is called imagecreatetruecolor TinyWebGallery, http://redirect.ngz-gameserver.de/index.html a gallery which does without MySQL, just PHP and XML, uses it. If you want to see it working, go to http://hoffenreich.funpic.de/ This is my current gallery. Pics are throughout personal, might not be of interest for you, but the functions are nice. I tried another gallery meanwhile: Plogger http://www.plogger.org/ [use Firefox, site looks like s**t in IE]. But this one does not work either on Xisto servers. It installs correctly after some tweaks but it says it did not and therefore no pics to view. In this case it might be a flaw of the installation script though. curare

Hello, I have just been given an hosting account - thank you. I have installed a web agallery, and I get the errort mesage "The function imagecreatetruecolor was not found. I think you don't have GDlib > 2.x." Which is vey sad because the image gallery is quite nice in it's layout. You can take a look here for a demo. Questions: .) Any chance this will be installed? .) Any suggestions for a different nice-looking web gallery? Stand-alone version possibly? TIA, curare

Hey, Sorry for being off topic here, but this was the only posting I could find that deals with my observance that there is no fantastico. I just set up my hosting, and to my big disappointment, fantastico is not there. But I gather from your post that one day it'll be there (again). This is a great relief for me, because I was eager to check this out. Fantastico was one of the major reasons why I chose Xisto, besides the teriffic mods here So, I'll wait more or less patiently for the fantastic fantastico to return to this fine server! curare

Yeah, telnet has been around for ever, it is which with everything started... Today, there is a better, an enhanced version of telnet available: PuTTY PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham. see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for details and download. The program adds important security features because it uses SSH. Just my 2 cents, curare

Thanky you so much for sheading some light on this, qwijibow! It really made an interesting read. For me as a total n00b to linux it explains many things I never found anywhere explained so precise and concisely. [not sure if this is the proper English word for it, English not being my first language ] Anyway, it gives me a totally new perspective on the subject matter. And from the point of view of a clueless person, I would say the standpoint the kernel developers take is very understandable. I just wish I would find more enlightning reads like your post when wading through all the stuff that is written day by day on the net. curare
