I need to implement a webdav or ftp server in iOS. Can someone suggest a webdav or ftp server open source project?
How about TouchHTTPD?
TouchHTTPD / Projects / iPhone WebDAV Server
TouchWebDAV Caveats
BASIC Auth Only (Digest auth coming soon)
No SSL
Not optimised for caching headers (If-*)
Cannot use Finder WebDAV and TouchWebDAV server on same machine!
WebDAV locking is totally fake.
Set attribute operations unsupported (so chmod, touch will not work)
Try https://github.com/swisspol/GCDWebServer#webdav-server-in-ios-apps it seems to be good and active.

For one of my application, I have implemented Web socket using socket.io and hosted in IIS. Currently socket connection helping to provide two way connection between client (React) and server (node.js).
As I mentioned, I have hosted my application in IIS. I have few doubts regarding Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information services -> World wide Web Services -> Application Development Features -> WebSocket Protocol. I have tested my application without enabling this feature, its working fine, but I would like to confirm below stuffs.
WebSocket Protocol
Do I really need to enable WebSocket protocol feature to make websocket work in my application? If so, how now it is working fine without enabling (I haven't do performance and stress testing, I may face issue on this).
What if I not enabling this feature? in short what is the actual use of this feature?
It would be helpful if anyone answer the above questions. Thanks in advance.
WebSocket as part of the HTTP stack requires a bunch of things to be ready on Windows (across multiple components), so hope this answer helps a little.
HTTP.sys, a driver deep down in Windows OS, is upgraded to support the necessary packet communication required by the protocol.
The IIS WebSocket module, an IIS extension which many other Microsoft frameworks (like SignalR) depend on.
So WebSocket support is by default on in HTTP.sys, and you don't need the IIS module if your framework (socket.io) has no dependency there.
Note that the "Summary" section provides several useful links,
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/iis-80-websocket-protocol-support#summary
and the same article also reveals that IIS WebSocket module has
conflicts with socket.io.
I have bought a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) that Windows Server 2008 is installed on it. I needed to use server because I have developed a C# console application that can read data by TCP socket and write them in the MySQL database.
Now I need to start a website on this server. I think WAMP server is so easy for me.
Maybe in future a lot of people visit my website.
Is it a good idea to use WAMP server as a web server?
In principal there is nothing wrong with using WAMPServer as a LIVE webserver.
However, not the out of the box version.
Out of the box WAMPServer and XAMPP for that matter expect to be used as a single seat developer tool and while that is great for a click and go solution to get a developer up and running on Apache/MySQL and PHP in a few minutes it is not secure enough to be considered as a LIVE web facing webserver.
Now if you have the knowledge and experience to create an user account on Windows Server that has access to only what Apache needs to do its work, and can get Apache to run in that account instead of its default account (which has way to many privilages for a live server) and are prepared to explore all the Apache security features/modules that would be required for a web facing server then it is possible. However this is not a trivial task, and any mistakes or ommissions will leave your server open to the simplest of hacks.
In short, unless you really know what you are doing with Windows Server and Apache, you would be far better to pay for a professionally configured and managed web server environment.
I need to show to a user an interface of some application running on a server using a browser. It should be like RDP-client for a single application on a server.
Are there any solutions or services that can implement following functionality? Maybe Citrix?
Thanks in advance!

About FreeRDP-WebConnect
FreeRDP-WebConnect is an open source gateway for accessing RDP
sessions using any HTML5 compliant browser. In particular it relies on
the Canvas and the WebSockets feature. FreeRDP-WebConnect is a
subproject of the FreeRDP project.
On the server side, a standalone daemon - written in C++ - provides a
Web page via HTTPS (or HTTP, if configured) and uses FreeRDP libs to
connect as a client to any RDP session. The server side WebSockets
implementation handles current RFC6455 only, so browsers that
implement the older drafts do not work. With RFC6455 being raised to
the "Proposed Standard" level, this should change now really soon.
I would create an account on the server for the user, and only give it access to the one application it needs access to.
You can use Cameyo. To start, create yourself a free account, and click on "Add App". If your installer supports unattended installation, you simply need to submit it. Otherwise, you can build a Cameyo package locally and send it in. It will then be playable as HTML5.
You don't indicate what server you are running on.
As an alternative to FreeRDP-Webconnect cited above, also open source and also using FreeRDP as rdp client through an HTTP gateway, there is Myrtille.
FreeRDP-WebConnect embeds a standalone daemon written in C++ to provide a web page via HTTP(S), and so will also work on Linux servers, while Myrtille have a IIS/.NET (C#) implementation and an MSI installer, thus is more intended for Windows Servers.
I need to connect to a sftp/scp server download a file, edit it and then reupload it.
As far as i know the SKD itself doesn't give you the ability for secure connections via ftp.
Any Ideas?
There we go: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/ssh-sftp-objc.asp
Does everything and a bit more. It's commercial but it doesn't really matter in our case as developing our own libssl2 wrapper would take weeks and weeks.
https://github.com/karelia/libssh2_sftp-Cocoa-wrapper
I have not tried it (yet...), but it's from the same person who made ConnectionKit. It's SFTP (I'm not sure if they mean secure ftp or ssh file transfer protocol)
I want to use WebDAv server to share files among systems and (iPod or iPhone) in my iphone project. To use it, do I have to use an individual webserver? Or is it a built in facility?
WebDAV is a way to share files through a web server, which includes functionality for file locking and versioning.
Presumably, you would run Apache or another WebDAV-savvy web server, enabling access to a folder and its contents through the setting of relevant permissions.
This service would be run on a server somewhere — such as a Mac OS X workstation, which has Apache installed by default — and which has files that you want to present to the outside world.
Your iPhone device would connect to the WebDAV server through a WebDAV client; for example, DAV-E. The client locates and displays a list of files and folders, allowing uploads and downloads.
It typically isn't a built-in facility, but can be enabled as an extension of existing webservers, e.g mod_dav for Apache, WebDAV publishing for IIS, etc.
Short for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning.
WebDav is sometimes referred to as DAV.
An IETF standard set of platform-independent extensions to HTTP
It allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote Web servers.
It features XML properties on metadata, locking - which prevents authors from overwriting each other's changes - namespace manipulation and remote file management.
