Hi Trevor, OK, found the problem. I had a set dgProps["sort by column"] statement after setting the dgNUmberOfRecords. Moved that to a place where dgNumberOfRecords is zero and only one cycle of GetDataForLine happens now. Thanks for the help in tracking it down. There are a lot of nuances to u

Mark, I've used Cyberduck for years and have really liked it…until recently. The newer versions sometimes messes up my files when I upload them to the web site. Most files work fine but some don't that used to. I've reported it to the vendor who cannot reproduce the problem. I've been using Fe

I use Cyberduck and Taco HTML Edit together to get the benefits of the combined editor/ftp. Cyberduck detetcs the presence of Taco on your computer and includes a contextual menu item to download a file into Taco, then when you save it in Taco it automatically upload to the server again. Pete On

Hi Francis: If you want cheap, Flow is on sale at the moment, so it is a great deal. I've used it a bit, though not with On_Rev, and it has worked fine. If you're looking specifically for a Mac solution -- there are other FTP tools that have been around for a while but cost more: Fetch - http://f

Personally I've been using Cyberduck for about 5 years, and don't understand the comments about its clumsy interface; all seems remarkably straightforward to me. Experience with almost all other FTP clients seems to fall short of Cyberduck. But, Hey, I'm talking about sending stuff from my PPC m

Hi Francis, I tried CyberDuck but it messed up my file names if they contained special characters. I have no experience with Flow. I still use FileZilla, which has a very clumsy interface but works correctly. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering

Cyberduck versus Flow

Hi from Beautiful Brittany, Maybe a little outside LiveCode discussions, but I want the best app to upload my files to my On-Rev server. I was happy with FileZilla, then I found Cyberduck which really makes me happy, now I see "Flow" which seems to beat all the FTP apps hands down (cheap at $4.9

Re: options for safe transfer of data to a server - ?

Hi, The sole solution i know is to own a dedicated server and to access it in SSH tunneling (SFTP) mode with only some open ports 22, 25, 80, 443, etc... you can tune as you want as long as you take care to keep the unwanted ports closed (alike FTP = 21). There are probably ways to tune SFTP t

Re: options for safe transfer of data to a server - ?

ftp is indeed a security problem, and sftp is not (easily) available - needs externals, or command line usage, etc. https:// would be an option - but he would need an ssl cert. However, if the item to be uploaded is small (sounds like it is), then you can do it very safely and easily, just as

Re: Exporting a snapshot directly to Preview

My variation of the syntax leaves it up to the system to open the file. It would be wrong of you to predetermine that a user sees the document in any particular program. Just leave off the part where you set the app to use, and the system will take care of that for you. On Mar 13, 2012, at 1:2

simple ftp has no security for world accessible web sites. I just had all my sites compromised by Pakistani hackers, and will be spending much of the next two days cleaning up. I have since repented and am using SFTP with Dreamhost. But that doesn't help those that want to use Livecode FTP. There

Re: Slightly OT - LC in Keynote

Don't know how it would be accomplished, but apparently "send to program" lets you do some interesting things, and since its based on appletalk/applescript type of events, it might be possible to talk to a separate running stack that way? Obviously neither powerpoint nor keynote have the same verb

options for safe transfer of data to a server - ?
