As we have the FTP Server code in previous post, here is a FTP Client using Apache Commons library .  Below is a basic code which we can use to connect to our FTP server which we created over a S OCKS Proxy Server. (Assuming you have a SOCKS proxy server running already – if not then code can be used just as a FTP Client to connect directly to FTP Server). Below Image shows, libraries required and parameter passed from the build.xml (this can be done over the command line as well) Below Image shows changes required to Route all Packets to go through Proxy Server Libraries Required. <path id="FtpClientDemo.classpath">         <pathelement location="bin"/>         <pathelement location="lib/commons-net-3.1-ftp.jar"/>         <pathelement location="lib/commons-net-3.1.jar"/>     </path> Sample Arg in Build.xml File <ta...

Was working on getting a FTP Server. Creating a FTP server using Apache Library is very simple. As you can see in the image you will need some libs, and all the libraries can be found here : http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/apache-ftpserver-106-release.html Below is the code to get started. You will also get all the properties file from the above link. Content for log4j.properties. log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, C log4j.appender.C=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.C.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.C.layout.ConversionPattern=[%5p] %d [%X{userName}] [%X{remoteIp}] %m%n Content for users.properties. # Password is "admin" ftpserver.user.admin.userpassword=21232F297A57A5A743894A0E4A801FC3 ftpserver.user.admin.homedirectory=f\:/ ftpserver.user.admin.enableflag=true ftpserver.user.admin.writepermission=true ftpserver.user.admin.maxloginnumber=0 ftpserver.user.admin.maxloginperip=0 ftpserver.user.admin.idletime=0 ftpserver.us...

Well I was looking into Potential NFC Benefits or use cases which we can use it for. Few of the first primary target is the Financial Sector. Most of the usecase are about Mobile Money. (like the Google Wallet). First I was very much interested/excited in the Mobile Money kind proposition, slowly came to realization that it has too many overheads. You need to sync up with a BANK, then Involve Retailers, etc etc too much of hassle if you take the INDIAN Market. Here are few things which I think can be used other than Financial Sector. - NFC card for getting into your hotel room.  - NFC enabled Phone as your car keys.  - your business card. - your public transportation. - concert, sports or other event tickets. - your boarding pass for getting on a plane.  - coupons and Many more. Then I came across an article, quite interesting. http://www.techcentral.co.za/sa-banks-nfc-trials-farcical/28336/ " Well-known entrepreneur...

To start of with lets do a Incremental back up for every commit and then lets look in to taking a full back for all our repositories. (Files Attached Below) Incremental Backup. SVN Incremental for every commit can be done using post-commit hook this file is in REPOS_DIR/hooks/post-commit. tmpl you can copy it as post-commit and change permissions. $ cp post-commit.tmpl post-commit $ chmod 755 post-commit NOTE Important links: For rsync refer this link For mutt configuration refer this link. For Running Crontab. To Know about SVN backups you can go here. Here is the information which needs to be in post-commit hook in SVN. # # PreDefined Information # REPOS="$1" REV="$2" # # Change below parameters as Required. # LOCAL_BACKUP_PATH=/home/ahmed/ SVNREPOS_TEST/test_backup_ incremental REMOTE_BACKUP_PATH=/home/ ahmed/SVNREPOS_TEST/test_ backup_full LOCAL_MOUNT_BACKUP_PATH=/home/ ahmed/SVNREPOS_TEST/test_ backup_full REMOTE_USER="backup_t...
