Does anyone actually do this? Well, here are my wife and I waiting for our son after school on Monday. He loves to unwind on the playground, so we gave him about 30 minutes to burn more of the day off.
Image by Micah68 via Flickr I've been using FileZilla FTP server for some time now and have been happy for the performance. Recently, we needed the ability to expose the FTP service to another client, and the documents that we'd be receiving would be arriving in an un-encrypted form, unlike our other clients. I decided I could simply enable FTPS , the SSL enabled FTP protocol and open a port to 990 on my ASA 5525 Security Appliance and NAT traffic to our server. Unfortunately I quickly found out that a passive FTPS server behind my firewall won't work without some specific configuration changes as discussed in this article . With all that fussing around, I decided to check out freeFTPd, a single deamon that offers both FTP and SFTP, not to be confused with FTPS, but the secure file transfer protocol that is common to the SSH ( secure shell ) protocol. It's fairly straight forward, but is a bit quirky and the documentation is non-existent. Follow some of my ti...
I've been reading quite a bit lately on improving SEO for our DotNetNuke website , IHBSOnline.com and quickly realized it just isn't enough to throw up a website, add a listing in a couple of search engines and wait for the masses. First off, the DnnFriendlyUrlProvider, while writing friendlier URL's than older versions of DNN, could be better. This is why you need the iFinity FriendlyURL provider. It is free, but keep in mind it is really designed for a single domain site, and presents other issues with some other 3rd party modules. If you fall into that category, I'd suggest you purchase the full version, as it adds additional functionality you'll need and want.

The duplicate content issue could easily arise if you have a host that responds to both http://mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com. Yo...
BITE (show) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Leaving your ADFS 2.0 installation in AutoCertificateRollover mode will most certainly bite you in the ass at some point. This is the default mode when you install ADFS, and when your certificate expires, you'll get something that looks like this: The key to your answer is in the first line: ID4175: The issuer of the security token was not recognized by the IssuerNameRegistry. All you need to do is insert the new thumbprint from your ADFS Token-signing certificate. Make sure it's all in uppercase, and you've not added any invalid character codes, or spaces in the thumbprint or you will continue to get this error message . You are better served by generating another certificate for a longer period than the default 1 year. You can easily do this by opening Windows PowerShell and issuing the following: First, add your snapin: Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.Adfs.Powershell Show a list of your ADFS properties. Get-ADFSProperti...
