I want to setup an SFTP Server on an existing Server 2003 machine. I'm wondering what solutions most people out there are using, or if you have any recommendations. I just went through the process of installing the OpenSSH solution by Michael Johnson only to get to page 2 of the readme file to learn that "Server 2003 is not currently supported". The WSFTP product is a bit pricey at $450 plus another $200 for support. That's do-able, but before I drop $650 on the product I would like to know if anyone out there would actually recommends it. I also came across the list of products at the wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SFTP_servers but…

Ok, I have a USB Mass storage device that I connect via a powered hub to my laptop. It has worked in the past, but for some reason, it recognizes it as a Mass Storage device, then a popup says found new disk drive. I go into Device Manager, and there it is. It is recognized correctly and working fine. When I then go into Disk management I do not see it. I have a c partition on my laptop hard drive, and also an e. I do not see any other drives. Why is my USB drive not assigning a drive letter to it, and why is it no showing in disk management? I have another JUST like it, and it works just fine, plug and "pray" works and assigns it a drive letter. Any i…

Let me just say that I love Windows XP, but the trouble I am having is... About 6 months ago my youngest son down loaded a virus, and I tried to clean the registry files myself but I guess I deleted some files that I shouldn't have. Anyway my computer is giving me a bunch of error messages when I am trying to perform a new install of Windows XP Professional. The error messages are "NTLDR missing" Please press ctl+alt+del to restart your computer. Well I fixed that problem now when I use the 6 different boot disks that I had downloaded. It works this was after I had fixed the NTLDR missing Problem, now the error message that I am getting after I reformat my …

On Monday, 09/29/08, my Windows Server 2003 system told me I was low on system resources, and when I checked, I only had 700 MB of 12 GB left of free disk space when I should of had 2.27 GB free space. The problem was the "CIfiles" folder, which held a 500 MB .ci file. The number in the file name was also on three other files, but they were small. The windows.edb file was 1GB. So, we stopped the Windows Search service, deleted all four "CIfiles" folder files with the filename of the 500 MB, and emptied the recycle bin. Then, the windows.edb file shrunk and the disk space increased back to 2.27 GB free space. We restarted the Windows Search service, and this…

When I try to connect to an NT4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition with the latest Remote Desktop Client, I get: "Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again." However, I can connect to said server from a machine running Shell version 6.0, build 6000, Control version 6.0.6000, and below. This connection problem seems to be related to the latest version of RDC. If there a workaround, or a fix so I can connect to this legacy terminal server? I have tried the "Themes" fix to no avail. I also cannot downgrade the RDC on the XP SP3, or Vista SP1 machines, as Windows prevents me from doing…

I need to install SP 2 to a PC not connectedd to the internet. I downloaded what I thought was SP2 (KB884020) to a travel drive but it was not the right file & would not install. I then downloaded a 2nd file (KB887616) and the same thing happened. Exactly which file will install for Windows X? -- Sally

I want to know how to set up my Win2K so that a particular graphic software is selected to display a picture file (e.g. -.jpg) by clicking it in Win Explorer. Presently the bulky Photoshop is automatically selected and loaded after long wait before the picture is shown. If I can somehow change the setup so that Paint is selected, for instance, waiting time should be a lot shorter.

Hello. My PC has recently developed a problem (Recent as in the last couple of months or so). When I use the windows searc (for all files and folders), my taskbar freezes. Usually I have my bar on autohide, but when I select to search it freezes in 'up' position. Nothing on it is clickable. The search window also never opens. Alt/Tab no longer works. I can still work in whatever window is on top (if it's full size), or click between smaller windows (like instant message programs), but nothing involving the task bar. The only way I can shut down or make the bar work again is to use ctrl-alt-del and restart through the task manager. There's…

Howdy, I have a simple batch file that dumps 4000 contacts from my database to a TXT file, and then imports them to my Contacts. Recently, that last phase has been producing some errors indicating a problem with the command line text that does the import. This happens intermittently. The folks who support the importing software (Contact Genie) tell me that the command line text is fine (as I would assume because it usually works properly), and they believe that something is corrupting the command line text preventing their software from correctly interpreting it... I have experimented with the simple work-around of running the BAT file in Safe Mode wi…

I'm on IE 7, and ever since a virus in Apr, My OE is very slow to open sometimes, and at other times it only opens half way, with no text showing. I have to close this and open again and then it usually works. I am running TM Int. Security; I am on auto Win.XP updates, but TM seems to block drwtsn32.exe after which I have had end programs for MSIMN.exe and directDBnotifyWndproc. I don't know where the problem lies, and would like some help please. This can also be posted. Thanks, Jean

I have a new server currently as a workstation and I want to promote it to an active directory (the first one). when I go to run and enter dcpromo, nothing happens. When I go to Add Roles, active directory is not in the list. the only items in the list are Application server, File server, IIS, and Windows server update services. What am I missing? -- moondaddy@newsgroup.nospam

Hello everybody. One day I deleted the show desktop icon in the quick launch area by mistake. I wanted to add this button again to its original place but I could not. I could create a shortcut of it on the desktop and drag it to quick launch next to the Start button but although it seemed the same old button it opens the desktop as a seperate folder and did not show me the desktop. The only thing I want is to minimize all the open files and see my desktop with this button. I tried to open and close the show quick launch command from the preferences of task bar but it loaded the other programs i.e explorer button but not show desktop. Can anybody help me t…

I was wondering as to how I can make my screen brighter when it's connected to electricity. When I disconnect it and it's running on battery it makes a BIG difference and I can actually see my screen... I've looked under power properties, Control Panel, and Power Meter and I can't fix it... Please help me!

Re: Cannot remove program, Broderbund Mavis Beacon, keystroke hook This has nothing to do with Windows Update functionality. Forwarded to WinXP General via crosspost. > I run Windows XP SP3...and Registry [Mechanic] You'll probably have to reinstall the application in order to uninstall it, since Registry Mechanic probably removed the necessary uninstall files for the current install.
