I was wondering if there is any third party module to replace Webmin Java file manager. I couldn't find anything in Webmin website. so is there anything I can try?
Yes, java applets are not supported in Android devices but sometimes you simply need to quickly edit a file on your server (webmin) on the go from your mobile / smart phone for example and you are done. It will never work... There are hacks, cracks and all sorts of "unofficial" stuff but this is not what I prefer. It would be great to replace java-applets based file manager in webmin for let's say php file manager that would have the same or at least half of the functionality to be able to edit files on the go in webmin... Webmin on computer = java applets file manager, Webmin on Android devices = something else that works.

I want to run a third-party application from gwt for manipulating a local file and after this send file to server. I released the feature for uploading and sending file to server, but between these steps I want to change something in this file (with 3-rd party application installed on client machine). The main problem is that the applet cannot be used because nor Chrome, nor Mozilla do not support it. Are there some examples of other tools and technologies to do this?
The FileReader and FileWriter api can be used to work with local files. I think the htmt5rocks has a good example of how this can be done with javascript. These processes can be used with GWT elemental FileReader and Writer. I've added links to the javadoc below.

Answer is simple: GWT is client-side technology. You cannot run 3rd party application installed on client side, access local drive files or so.
If you want to change some local file fromt GWT application, then you need to expose Java Applet, do operation on server side and then process it.
Why are you saying Firefox and Chrome don't support it?
I'm writing an app that includes a folder/file explorer. That part is working. However, another app (Astro File Manager) has the ability to backup all of the installed apps to a backup location on the SD card. I cannot find or see the folder(s) where installed apps are stored. Supposedly it is in "/data/apps". My phone is NOT rooted and Astro works fine. Does anyone know what the trick is to seeing these folders/files? Is it possible to do this in B4A? Thanks!
Android doesn't allow you to access other programs files. Astro probably uses the backup API that allows you to backup other programs. However the backup API doesn't give you access to the files.
I've developed a WPF application. A large company is trying to make my application available to users' desktops. The traditional way to do this would be to point the users' browsers to:
http://www.MySite.com/MyApp.application
But the I.T. group at this company has configured their proxy server in such a way so as to block .application files for security reasons. They do, however, allow .exe files to pass through their proxy server and execute on client workstations. The irony of allowing .exe's from the Internet while blocking .application text files "for security reasons" isn't wasted on me but let's put that aside for a moment.
What kind of workaround would you recommend that would allow my app to launch from client desktops given that .EXEs are allowed? My first thought is to write a mini launcher app that does nothing more than download a .zip'd version of the .application file and all dependencies to a temp folder on the user's machine and then launch the .application file from there. Is there a better solution?
FWIW: Google has figured out a way to deploy their Chrome browser to Windows desktops in corporations like this one, despite the fact that ClickOnce is their deployment mechanism. If you view the source code at:
http://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.html?&oneclickinstalled=
...you'll see they're pointing to an installer at:
/update2/installers/clickonce/GoogleInstaller_en.application.
That's a clickonce file. But somehow they've figured out a way to wrap it in an .exe in order to bypass proxy restrictions on .application files. I not familiar enough with JScript to understand what they're doing but it works. I'm trying to emulate this behavior for my own app.
This may not work for your situation. However, one possibility is to xcopy your exe and any dependencies to a folder on your webserver. Add a link in a webpage to your exe so your users can launch the app by clicking the link. In order for any of the users to be able to run the exe the first time, a caspol script needs to be run on each user machine to allow your app to run. Whenever you update the app, just xcopy the new version to the same folder on the webserver.
I'm looking for a web solution that will provide a web page/application that will let a user download our installer exe (all required files are contained in the exe) such that they can pause the download and resume it at any time.
It's a 1.4 GB file, and currently our only distribution model (we are on a 0 budget).
Any advice? Our end-users are expected to be very computer illiterate. Expected to be able to visit a webpage and follow a few steps.
Do you also need a hosting solution? For that part I don't know, but you could check out Free Download Manager. It supports resuming downloads, and it's open source - GNU General Public License.
I have project that I'm working on that is going to require a webserver. The webserver will be used to remotely control a presentation using a mobile device.
I see there are quite a few options out there and I'm wondering if someone could provide some recommendations.
My criteria include:
Portable, fits on a USB key
Easy to
run. A user can just click on an
icon, or ideally it would include an
autorun command.
Open Source. I would prefer something licensed under the GPL or similar.
Runs a dynamic server-side language. I see that most have PHP which works perfectly, but I'm open to other languages.
Cross platform if possible.
Right now I'm leaning towards XAMPP, but I would love to hear some suggestions.
XAMPP is perfect for this.
I recommend XAMPP, so I think you are on the right track.
Have not used this, but it looks like it would be right up your alley:
http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/httpserveronusb
Supports perl + php by default.
From the page:
If you are a web developer I'm sure you have had that moment where you went:
"If only I had a web server handy right now!"
Then HTTP Server On USB is something for you! HTTP Server On USB is a fully configured web server that runs from your USB-Key. Plug it in and off you go!
It can be use to show of a website to a costumer, share files with your friends (both ways thanks to DAV) or simply impress people but acting all geeky!
Are you special and do you depend on exotic 3rd party module?
Just drop them in the module folder and edit the configuration file!
Features:
Management Application
Apache 2.2.11
mod_deflate
mod_ssl
mod_security
mod_perl
PHP 5.2.8
ActiveState Perl 5.10
Requirements:
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003
256mb USB-key
I have had no luck with XAMPP Lite or USBWebserver. What is currently working really well is Server2Go. I could never get XAMPP to run and USBWebserver would not allow me to install Drupal or Wordpress.
With Server2Go, I was able to install Drupal 7 on the USB Flash Drive, however, only with SQLite. I did need to go to the php folder and copy and rename the production-php.ini file to php.ini. There is a php.ini setting that needs to be set for the MySQL DB to be recognized. It is running well with SQLite for Development purposes though.
LAMPPIX - looks like not up to date, but should do the job.
I would suggest Apache, pretty lightweight and has everything you'll need (PHP).
