I had some ROM can be unload let me know which good time to do
[About XDA developers] mwang:
Can we set up some of system which file allow new user to download and some of file allow more poster to download file,I saw some of web site in Taiwan or China had this kinds system,if post one get one piont ,upload get 5 piont or 10 piont , set up some of file only allow some piont can be download that maybe will take care this problem or just use PM to ask to link download.
[About XDA developers] zohaer21:
hi

totally disagree with with mwang..

i hate that system and think its not suitable for this great sites users..

what we all can be is a bit more responsible as far as the ftp is concerned..with making the files read only so that no one but moderators can change the file structure.. or something.. maybe a moderated seperate upload download areas can help further

just my 2 cents
[About XDA developers] hdbueller:
I totally agree with zohaer21 about the files.They should be a read only type of file. I hate to see these kind of things happen, but there are just some people who get off on screwing things up.

[About XDA developers] veletron:
Hi

Sorry to hear about the FTP site. I use mirrordir on my sites to push changes to a closed FTP box daily in the small hours off a cron job. Its pretty configurable and only sends changed files etc. I do it to avoid saturating my ADSL link - upload jpgs into ISP webspace daily, and have site link to them instead of local copies.

For backup/anti-tosser purposes, you prob dont need this - why dont you just write a simple script to copy the ftp site outside the ftp/http root once a day? Least then you can just copy it back in afterwards. All depends on available space, I know.

Nigel
[About XDA developers] HappyGoat:
Writing a new script for this is not needed. There are tons of scripts/proggies out there that can do this, no reinventing the wheel... ;)

But I think the idea is excellent...keep originals on ftp, and update whenever needed to http location/folders.
[About XDA developers] HDuser:
So, We mirror this site to one of our own privat sites?

Sure it works but we all move on, get new toys and show no intrest. Who is going to do the admin on that.

Well my status is that I have two PM to two Admins that reamin in my outbox.

I am posting to a forum that is moderated but no admin has seen this thread.

I am truely gratful to the upload of the 1.22 kitchen, *vastloper*, thanks

Wiki needs to following folders

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_3X

Sure we need a few of the others but those were linked in wiki.

The problem is that if we reupload all this stuff who is going to clean it up?

The wiki team has been writing in wiki for over 2 months and I (MDAIIUser) have only ever seen 2 other contributions by none team members to that site in all that time. (bar the correcection of my bad spelling which still can be seen all over the place).

Ever wondered why we have so many threads on BT, and no links in wiki for that?

Sure this is a great site if you are looking for something but it is only as good as the amount of work that goes into it by us all. The tools are there, the info is also in the forum, but it cant be upto a team of 3 to post all of it, clean up the ftp site and act as admins with NO rights to insure that the work that has been done does not get trashed by some %&/ (*hdbueller* Great comment, got your device to work again?).

Sorry, my thoughts,
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
So i wanted to upload some files, but I'm not allowed to upload

STOR Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV.cab

553 Could not create file.

It seems that permissions have been set to Read only.

It's funny though, i can Resume broken downloads.

When Resume is allowed it automatically gives Write permissions on the server (Well it was that way when i had a lot of FTP servers some years ago).

Did a search, but no info on this is to be found??

Is it just me, or are you experiencing the same??
[About XDA developers] HDuser:
Well I tried to make a new folder to post stuff and it did not work.

I have checked my PM's and the one to an admin has been picked up but no answer, I sent a chaser to that Admin.

So:

We don't know if the backups are around

We don't know if the admins are doing anything about it

We do know that we cant post files unless we post them to the root of the FTP site.

We can't move them,

We can't rebuild the trashed info

Well at least we still have some snow in switzerland, think I will go sking.
[About XDA developers] Bebbo:
I have had a quick look at the FTP site and discovered that the Write flag for the BlueAngel directory has been unset (Ie no-one has permission to write to it).

That said, I just tried changing it and it allowed me to - therefore if you use an FTP package you can set and re-set the write permissions on each directory you use. I would suggest that this has been done to stop bulk deleting of directories on the server.

Simply change a dir permission to write, write the file and then set it back to stop future deletions.....

Now I have a problem, I use smartFTP as it is free, here I cant change the permisions (the f7 funtion is not enabled), Not sure if this is a setting or basded on the site. Please advice if there is another free tool around or if I need to change some thing.

Does anybody feel like going through wiki and checking the links, posting the files that are missing (apert from me, myself and I) ?

Thanks again

I cleaned up the dir structure

I renamed the wrong files

I deleted the files that were double (as in placed on site, cooked and now re uploaded)

total commander

I use total commander to connect to ftp sites.

It's an perfect program to use.

Left side connect to ftp

right side choose dir on computer.

You can copy and move files very easy this way

Click on a file and with the menu file / change attrib you can set all permissions.

It's free when you don't care about pressing 1, 2 or 3 only once after starting it.

You can download it at www.ghisler.com

I think i have whole ftp backed up now :oops:

xdaforums.com is extremely slow all day today.

[About XDA developers] HDuser:
Slow ? Its worse than that. wiki is the same, lose the page as if the link went down.

Thanks for the TC tip, what rights should I give on files and dirs ? does one need exec to download?

The TC software does not seem to have a refresh, changed the rights, created a dir on my old ftp sofware and could not get TC to see it.

I hate it when you understand what you are doing and then need to change the way that you do it. smartFTp will allow me to change rights on files but not on folders, why not, any logic behind that?

tips and tricks total commander

Not sure if you are formiliar with total commander.

Pressing * will select all files in a folder (not the folders in a folder)

If some files are selected the * inverts the selection

Insert key adds selection at current position and moves 1 step down

(you can also select directory's with insert key)

Tab key switches between left and right window.

If you select more files then you can change the attribs of all the selected files with only 1 operation.

F5 copy F6 move F3 quick view F4 edit files

If you allready know about this perhaps its handy for some other users.

First of all i think someone is messing around with the website from peter poelman.

Wiki.xda-developers.com is very very slow. Same with xdaforums.com

Now people keep on deleting the ftp.

No funny, we need to be able to prevent deletion.

So its time to make a public upload dir for new stuf and some people who have acces to move the uploaded stuf to protected area.

However i dont know who is able to contact peter poelman about this.

Anyway i have many files backedup, however i do miss some of the lates updates.

Where did you find the error mdaIIIuser ?
[About XDA developers] vastloper:
I was talking about voip at my home internet connection to be able to make cheaper phone calls :D

I think it would be great to have ftp space that is protected.

Dump files here for testing and once they are good then move them to protected area.

I also thought about offering my homepage space but i think the 250 MB i got from my provider will not be enough since each update file is about 30 - 40 MB. So i can only host 7 rom updates then. :oops:

The ftp onhere however is wonderfull faaaaaast but the only problem is that it is not safe to put the files here anymore.
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
I have just run a Sync. on the FTP over the complete backup i have here of the BlueAngel folder.

Looks intact, no files missing since the last rebuild??
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
BTW.

Regarding external FTP.

Wel if someone is willing to host a FTP server that can handle the massive traffic that must be on the current FTP site, thats great.

But he must really think about the amount of traffic that it could generate!!

I would say that we are talking about quite an substansive amount of gigabite a month.

This cost's money, and new users are coming every day so the trafic will grow and grow.

The very best is to keep the current FTP, but just to get the admins to nomita some sherifs on the forum with FTP rights.
[About XDA developers] HDuser:
bosjo

I am with you, not the only issue, the next one is who are we dealing with is the infa good, and the list goes on.

BUT it can't be that we are running offsite backups as we can't get any rights NOT to del files on the server as xda. The CHMOD is great apart form the fact that we all can do it.

Anyway I was on

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Bluetooth_upgrades

Today, in the morning and we had one sub dir with the 3900 and the dw whatever patch in it.

We also had a good history of other BT patches, well they have gone.

Anyway is it up to us to come up with an idea to solve this problem when the solution is obvious and has been put in writing.

The

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Bluetooth_upgrades/

It was also the folder that contained all the BT patches earlier.

None of the folders we are talking about here is so to say correct.

The current structure of the ftp is a bit unlogical, but it's a little late to undo that now.

I havent had the time to go through my one extremly tidy an logical file system here, to look for what ever bt files i have....he he, all over all drives *LOL*

But I will take a look at it.
[About XDA developers] vastloper:

Perhaps it is time to make a logical filestructure

For now there is only a bluetooth upgrade folder under the cab files.

Not sure about the ce section. Would one not get that out of the ship.exe if needed?

The strpped ext roms are in the kitchen for the none apple eaters.

Radio roms are version based so we only need one of that version as ndf for flashing.

op customizing should stay in the kitchen and be linked via wiki.

Public upload area is also needed.

A CE rom could be sent out as an update.

Thats true, but today we have very many different versions of it.

Many files in the Extended_Rom folder today is not in the kitchen, wether their outdated other other reasons.

>>Radio roms are version based so we only need one of that version as ndf for flashing.

True, and that wil either be in Shiped_complete or Stripped, that way you still have a choise to pick your desired upgrade

True, complete files might as well be only there

@bosjo, @MDAIIIUser and @ the rest of the people who cares.

When i was talking about a structure i was thinking about this.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ftp_structure

We can even add links to the structure so people jump straight into the correct directory.

It's just a small beginning and far from finished so if you all crack it down to the trashbin no problem at all.
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
@Vastloper

The Wiki page you’re proposing is a great idea, and should by all means be build.

Are you proposing the ftp site to have the exact same structure?

If not, I would say they should, to keep things as simple as possible.

Maybe drop the txt files on the ftp server, and only update Wiki, or totally drop description on Wiki and only use txt file on ftp.

Something to think about, but keeping it simple and easy updatable is important since we can not build a database to hold the info in Wiki.
[About XDA developers] vastloper:
Yes the plan was to make a file on wiki that shows the file structure as it should be on the ftp. That way it is easy to rebuild the ftp when something is going wrong. We can allways make a backup of the wiki page by copying the text of the wiki page in edit mode. When the structure page is gone we can rebuild it with the backup. We can make clickable links on the directory structure page.

Just a wild idea. :oops:
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
I'm thinking that we might need to ask the xda admin to please make one page available outside the Wiki system. This page is the page listing all the context of the BlueAngel FTP section.

I’m no PHP guy, but I would say that it’s possible to make something similar to the ASP FileSystemObject(FSO).

With FSO and .asp you can build a page that lists the content of folders on the server.

This would by far be the easiest way to maintain that Wiki page.

One would create a txt file with the exact same name as the file itself, an ftp admin must then load the files in to the correct folders.

BlueAngel

..Cab_bla_bla

….Bluetooth

……..3900.cab

……..3900.txt

……..3500.cab

……..3500.txt

You follow ???

No need to manually update the Wiki.

If we are lucky, the admin’s will allow this. Off course only if the PHP FSO is safe to use on the server (Security issues), and if we have a PHP developer in here willing to create the script.
[About XDA developers] vastloper:
I understand what you mean.

But that way we do not have a backup of the directory structure.

So when some coconut delete's the directory's on the ftp then we have no structure backup to rebuild the structure as it was before.

Making the files undeletable for people who log in with name xda would ofcourse be the best option.
[About XDA developers] BoSJo:
Yes yes, the FTP needs to be locked, only upload folder for public to upload and still no delete. Delete and move only for FTP admin.

If the FTP is not locked in the near future, i'm not doing any work on anything. Whats the point?
[About XDA developers] HDuser:
Guys that the whole issue!

You see we are here chating about what could be done, we are also here to rebuild the site if it gets trashed, were here to do offsite backups, were here to relink Wiki, hell we are even here to write wiki.

Sure this is a user driven site, and sure its only as good as its content, but... Well But there must be somebody that is an admin its about time he kicked into this thread.

Last time I posted my commnet I had to eat an apple and on top of that got "chill it" pm.

I sorry but Whats the point? do a scroll done on this thread, its a 3 way conversation and none of us have admin rights the only thing we can do is CHMOD and logic says if we can do it so can the others.
