I have a question related to Artifactory Jfrog..
Is it safe to delete files in /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/temp folder?
Taking up a lot of spaces
Thank you
The temp folder is generally safe to delete as Artifactory uses it as a staging area for various indices it creates and for other generated files.
take care with a folder called artifactory-uploads if its present - that is the staging area for ui-originated uploads so you might end up deleting a file that represents an upload in progress, so only delete old files from that location.

I need to store pdf files that will keep increasing with time on a folder for my app. But I'm not sure which method is consider 'good practice' between if I should store it in a folder within the project architecture (i.e. inside Content folder) or in a folder outside the app. I tried searching online but most people just mention 'File System' and don't give examples on where do they store it.
So my question is, when people mention storing files on the File System, do they usually mean storing it in a folder inside the app (like Content folder) or do they mean storing it in a folder outside the app?
For example: let's say my apps folders/files are within the container folder: /Container/AppFolder/. Should I store the pdf files on the apps Content folder (i.e. /Container/AppFolder/Content) or should I create a new folder OUTSIDE the apps folders to hold these pdf files? (i.e. /Container/PDFFiles, so basically two folders within the container folder - one folder for the pdf files and the other folder for the app)? Which one is consider a good practice? I have considered just putting these files on the Content folder but as the amount of files keep increasing I'm not sure if is bad practice.
Thanks in advance.
You can put it where ever you want on the server, the program will just need proper permissions to that location (I use the IO namespace). However you should put thought into how to organize the files and folders. Is each file to be tied to a specific ID or just all in 1 folder? Think of things you'll need to handle like invalid file names (special characters), duplicate file names etc. Is the location strictly 1 way (upload only)? Or are you enabling download functionality? If you have download functionality stress security, probably creating a download.aspx page specifically for handling download requests and authentication.
I had a folder which was encrypted by encfs. It was in an ext4 partition. I decided to move it into another folder, because I had not enough space in that partition. The new partition was a compression-enabled zfs partition on another hard disk. During the move along with the destination folder 'td', another folder '.shutdowntd' was also created. I don't know why. I didn't created it. Maybe zfs itself created it. Maybe encfs manager did it. Last night I looked into it. I saw that the number of files in both directories is the same. I saw that for any file in the directory 'td' there is a file in directory '.shutdowntd'. File sizes were not exactly the same, but were nearly the same. When I deleted a file in one of them, the corresponding file in the other directory was also deleted! The names in the directory '.shutdowntd' were different and seemed to be hash-coded. My computer was on during the night. Today, I saw that the folder 'td' was removed and a zero-byte file with the same name was created! I restarted Ubuntu (16.04). Now I see that the file is changed back to a folder with the same name ('td') with no content. But the folder '.shutdowntd' still exists with the files in it. I can't justify this behavior and don't know why it happened. Essentially why '.shutdowntd' is created? Why 'td's' content is emptied?! How can I recover it? What's happening?!
I am having a application that uploads files according to the user input..i just want to move that particular file to moved to another folder..
Now i am able to move the files to the destination folder..but it moves all the files which is already there in the folder..
i am creating a folder dynamically while uploading the files..and i need that file to be moved to that created folder...
I need to move only the uploaded file during run time...
E:\Export Documents - Copy\Uploads this path to C:\inetpub\wwwroot
this is my code
Set oFS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strDir = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\" & fldr
oFS.CopyFile "E:\Export Documents - Copy\Uploads\*.jpg", "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\" & fldr
What you probably want to do is identify the file you have just uploaded and then move that. If you are already creating a folder to store the files in in inetpub, you might as well do the same in Uploads, and then just move that folder.
You will probably find it helpful to use fileSystemObject.MoveFolder instead of .CopyFile so that your Uploads folder does not fill up.
If you want some help with how to do that, post the code you are using to upload your file.
For working with the FileSystemObject, this is a useful reference
On another note, is it really wise to move files from Uploads into wwwroot? A malicious user could do some damage in there.
I want to backup my existing ASP.net web app before updating it.
Therefore I create a backup folder inside the website (ie same level as App_Code, web.config). Call it something like Backup_20110910
Then I move all the current website files/folders (excluding web.config, app_data) into the backup folder.
Then I extract the zip of the latest code in the now clean folder.
Is there any potential problems with this approach? As after all, you are increasing the number of csharp files in your website folder, could there be conflicts etc.
I wouldn't back up within the folder structure, there's a possibility that someone then finds your backup folders and browses to them, running the older code. If you zip it then you suddenly have files someone can download too. Even more amusingly if, as a lot of people do, when you change web.config you rename the old one to web.config.bak a lot of security scanners look for that because now it can be downloaded, as it's no longer a .config file, but a .bak.
Backup outside the web root, not within and all of those worries will go away.
There won't be an issue - except that it might become confusing to have identical folder structures within the current folder structure - it's always wisest to keep backups completly seperate from the current build
In my website when deploying production most of the time I only need to deploy bin folder and just marker files if new pages added.Since my website contains gigabytes of images folder and static stuff not updates frequently, it takes ages to complete a one publish cycle in visual studio website publish feature is there workaround to overcome like excluding these static folders when website publishing
Thanks...
You could use the Web Site Copy Tool - deploying a web site using this tool only updates the files that have been changed.
After you connect to the remote site, each file will have one of the following statuses.
Unchanged
The file has not changed since the last time the file was copied.
Changed
The file has a timestamp that is newer than the timestamp taken when the file was last copied. If the same file has been changed in both the source site and the remote site and you synchronize these files, the tool prompts you to indicate in which direction you want to copy.
New
The file has been added since the last time the site was copied.
Deleted
The file has been removed since the last time the site was copied. These files are shown only if you select Show Deleted Files. If you synchronize a file that has been deleted in one site, the tool will prompt you to indicate if you want to delete the file from the other site.
See this article for further information
I don't know if there is another way. But if you make the folder hidden in the file system, then it would not be published.
