JFile Explorer not connecting to remote host

Post by aevideoweb »

Greetings once again,

I'm not able to get the Explorer to see the remote host. Uploading from my local drive gives me the error <http /1.1 405>. I've been studying the docs, but I'm unable to find any error messages and their meanings or any FAQ's on what happens when the Explorer is not seeing the server.

I have the Explorer.php in the same directory as Process.php, applet_http_explorer.js and html.
I've added the 'include Explorer" in the correct location.
I've configured the _explorer.js to see the Process.php
I've added the following to specify an upload folder:
document.write('<param5="account">');
document.write('<value5"="uploadfile">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME ="param5" VALUE="account">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME ="value5" VALUE="uploadfile">');

Here's the website
http://www.colemantranscriptions.com/ap ... lorer.html

I appreciate your time and expertise.
Thanks,

If I remove:
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME ="param5" VALUE="account">');
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME ="value5" VALUE="uploadfile">');
then it seems to work.
So, I've created the "uploadfile" folder and it seems to work now. Please try again.

I've noticed others problems:

First, you have a small typo at:
...
document.write('param3="emptydirectory" ');
document.write('value3="true" ');
document.write('<param5="account">');
document.write('<value5"="uploadfile">');

document.write('folderdepth="-1" ');
...

It should be:
document.write('param3="emptydirectory" ');
document.write('value3="true" ');
document.write('param5="account" ');
document.write('value5="uploadfile" ');

document.write('folderdepth="-1" ');

Second, you forgot:
...
document.write('transferuivalue1="explorer.oxw" ');
...
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="transferuivalue1" VALUE="explorer.oxw">');

Does it help ?

Hello once again,
For a little while the JFileExplorer was looking like a big JFileUpload, which works fine.
Not sure what I did, but it came back to the Explorer interface.

I've tried everything you suggest. Fixed the 2 typo's, added the *.onx statement on both the JFileUpload and Explorer.

JFileUpload still reads UnRegistered
JFileExplorer still is not seeing the server Root/uploadfile directory.
URL to the Process.php is correct.
The JFileUpload on the Home Page is working fine.
Seems like there's a connection configuration missing in applet_http_explorer.js.
Explorer will see my local hard drive. When I try to upload a file from my local hard drive to the server, it gives me the error http/1.1 405.
Here's the URL again,
http://www.colemantranscriptions.com/
applet_http_explorer.html

Thanks for your help

Mmmmmhhh, it was working and now it fails ... You've removed "uploadfile" folder, correct ?
If I test with my own explorer and remove the account parameter then it works. I've created the "uploadfile" folder, then it works too. Try your URL:
http://www.colemantranscriptions.com/ap ... lorer.html

So, it means that you need the have the "uploadfile" folder created before uploading (according to your account parameter).

You forget the a space at:
document.write('param5="account"');
document.write('value5="uploadfile"');


It must be:
document.write('param5="account" ');
document.write('value5="uploadfile" ');


You get rid of half the unregistered message. I've sent you an email with the missing lines.

Good morning,
Thank you so much for your help here. Fast service. I do appreciate all your help. We are now up and running. I have a happy client.

It's interesting.
I did leave those spaces in, when I got to the page this morning, they were gone. I put them back. Explorer seems to work now whether the spaces are there or not. Something else must have been changed.

I did leave the Root "Uploadfile" folder, but I did delete the "Uploadfile" folder that is created second level with the file in it. Seems when the file is uploaded, it creates a second level Uploadfile folder for the files.

Thank you for finishing lines of code. We are now registered.

Now that we're up and running, I can work on password protection and explorer, server side file deletions. And I hope to be able to do this myself with everything I've learned with your help.
Thanks again for all your time and expertise. We really appreciate it. Your FTP system, I think, is the best out there.
