Free managed file transfer products meeting software for linux

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (or ADTPro for short) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world. If youre familiar with the original ADT, ADTPro extends ADTs reach by working with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
Main features:
- Compatibility with any device ProDOS can read
- Compatibility with any Apple ][ (or clone) computer with 64k memory
- Compatibility with many logical disk image formats: .DSK, .PO, .NIB, 2IMG
- Server compatibility with original ADT client program
- Server compatibility with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and probably Solaris
- Ability to bootstrap an Apple ][ from bare metal over serial or cassette ports
- Ability to send floppies in "batch" mode without having to name each one
Server
The server program runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple ][.
The servers primary role is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. But if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it - youre in a bit of a tricky situation if you want to move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple. ADTPros server can help get you get bootstrapped.
Client
The client side runs on the Apple ][. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Enhancements:
- This release has been enhanced with Jean-Marc Boutillon (Deckard)s FASTDSK fast Disk II reading routines.
- This results in a speed boost of 25%-33% for Disk II to host transfers.
- Bootstrapping operations have been reduced, as there is no longer a dependency on ProDOS BASIC.

libptp2 is a library used to communicate with PTP devices like still imaging cameras or MP3 players (KODAK mc3).
You can download files or tweak camera properties using ptpcam program boundled with libptp2.
Supported Cameras
The list of cameras implementing PTP is constantly growing. Most (if not all) USB still cameras designed after 2002 are supporting PTP. Below is the list of vendors implementing PTP in their cameras:
- Kodak
- HP
- Nikon
- Canon
- Panasonic
- Olympus
- Konica
- Minolta
- Fuji
- Ricoh
- Sony
More are comming...
Please note that if your camera is supporting PTP it does not mean that it is capable of performing all PTP operations (like trigerring capture, uploading files or tweaking properties). Sony cameras are good example of poor PTP implementation where the only thing you can do is downloading files. Sony even breaks the USB specification assigning all its cameras the same product/vendor IDs so dont buy Sony if you want to stay out of problems.
Currently most PTP features are supported. Uploading/downloading files, taking pictures and setting camera properties is supported as long as your camera supports it. However there are many Vendor Extensions that are not supported.
For example Canon uses some proprietary extension operations to take pictures (entering capture mode, extending lens and so on), Nikon introduces proprietary PTP properties.
Unfortunately I have access to couple of Kodak cameras only so to help support extension features you may send me a patch or donate/lend the camera.
Enhancements:
- A number of bugs were fixed, including leaving the camera in an unpredictable state when an I/O error occurs.
- The projects own reimplementation of the old libusb interface (IOCTL_USB_BULK) is used instead of the new URB interface, which is 20% to 50% slower and sometime leads to I/O errors.
- File time preservation across download was added.
- Better capture support was added.
- A bug that caused files over 2MB to be corrupted while downloading was fixed.
- The --loop-capture feature was added.
- Configure errors and parralel build with make -j were fixed.

GNOME Transfer Manager allows the user to retrieve multiple files from the web.

These files can be retrieved in multiple parts and each part retrieved on a separate session that the user is connected to the Internet. This is most useful to users with dialup connections. The program performs these tasks using wget as its back-end.

The program supports CORBA. This makes it easy for other programs to use GTransferManager to handle the transfer of files from the Internet.

The program also has an applet which communicates with program using CORBA. The applet can launch the program, request for a new download or accept drops of URLs from netscape, gFTP, gmc and give these URLs to GTM.

Upstream is a collection of tools that allow users to send in system specific log and troubleshooting data to support personnel. The project can be easily modified to output data to any pastebin or support tracker.

Upstream aims to simplify the support cycle and make it more efficient. One of the main problems that support staff face when helping people via IRC or mailing lists is getting user log files across.

Often this process is time consuming, and many new users may even be unable to find / copy these logs. Upstream does this for them by finding and transmitting the log files relevant to a specific issue.

Usage:

We hope to turn this,

< newuser >hi, something is wrong with my resolution, how can i fix it?
< support_person >newuser, what is your video card, and which driver is xorg using?
< newuser >err... how can i find out?
< support_person > cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and pastebin it
< newuser >pastebin?
< support_person >http://pastebin.ca
< newuser >how do i copy? it wont copy!

In to this,

< newuser >hi, something is wrong with my resolution, how can i fix it?
< support_person >newuser, please run Canoe (System -> Help -> Canoe) and choose Video support. Give me the url you get once its done.

DMO stands for "Database of Managed Objects." This is a tool for documenting all objects within a data center.
Database of Managed Objects provides an object-based overlay on a MySQL database, with a Web-based interface, which allows new objects to be defined in a hierarchy.
Each object can have attributes defined, which are inherited by objects below in the hierarchy. Information can be imported in CSV or XML format, and reports can be produced in XML, CSV, PDF and HTML formats.
DMO uses PHP and MySQL to support documentation of all network and system objects within your computing environment. It offers a Web interface that enables easy navigation through objects, instances and attributes, with XML and access controls.
Enhancements:
- This is the first significant release of DMO for nearly two years.
- It works with Linux and Windows (XAMPP), but should work well with any LAMP stack including PHP4.
- New features include much more graphical viewing, as well as mapping objects onto maps with drill-down to additional layers of maps following dependency trails, a new Flash viewer for browsing through objects, and the ability to create chains of objects based on any attribute type (where any other object can be an attribute of any other object).

Fast Data Transfer is an application for efficient data transfers that is capable of reading and writing at disk speed over wide area networks (with standard TCP).
It can be used to stream a large set of files across the network, so a large dataset composed of thousands of files can be sent or received at full speed, without the network transfer restarting between files.
The project is written in Java, runs an all major platforms, and is easy to use.
Main features:
- Streams a dataset (list of files) continuously, using a managed pool of buffers through one or more TCP sockets.
- Uses independent threads to read and write on each physical device
- Transfers data in parallel on multiple TCP streams, when necessary
- Uses appropriate-sized buffers for disk I/O and for the network
- Restores the files from buffers asynchronously
- Resumes a file transfer session without loss, when needed

Contemplate Web Templating System is a set of server-side scripts that makes it easy for web developers to separate content from code when building sites.
Contemplate assembles text content, page layouts, and server-side or client-side scripts into dynamically generated or precompiled web pages based on arguments you pass into each page.
From simple, content-oriented websites to complex, data-driven web applications, Contemplate separates different production tasks and allows writers, front-end developers, and web programmers to focus on what they do best.
Contemplate is distributed under the Apache Software License, which provides for free distribution and use for any purpose. The license forbids, however, the use of the name Contemplate for new products derived from the source code, and requires that Type A be credited in the source code and documentation of any derivative products.
The Contemplate source code is managed under an open source, closed development model, which means that users may view and modify the source for their own purposes, and may submit enhancement suggestions to Type A, but do not have direct access to Type As development environment. Suggestions relating to performance, security, and consistency between the different ports are particularly welcome.
Contemplate was originally written in Perl and subsequently ported to both PHP and ASP, so youll need one of those three scripting languages installed on your web server. We recommend the ASP version of Contemplate for Microsoft IIS servers and the PHP version for other servers, including Apache.
ASP comes pre-installed on all IIS servers, and PHP comes pre-installed with many Apache distributions; you can install PHP from a free download if your server does not already support it. The three Contemplate versions work identically, except for occasional differences noted in the documentation.
Since Contemplate stores its content in standard HTML files, you dont need any database software on your web server, and you can even switch from one version of Contemplate to another (for example, if migrating from a Windows to a Unix server) without modifying your content files or templates.
And Contemplate includes a Flattener utility, which allows you to develop on a server that supports server-side scripting, then compile your website to plain HTML pages and post it on any web server --even one with no scripting support at all!
Enhancements:
- Better Windows compatibility, improved localization, URL rewriting, and menu capabilities, and miscellaneous bugfixes.
