We have decided to work on Web-Based File sharing system for large files. \n\nThe system should be for large files. \nThe system should be accessible through a web browser. \nSomebody should administer it to keep inappropriate material off of it. \n\nYou are in charge of a development team to write the software and you are considering different types of software engineering models.\nDo the following:\n\nWaterfall: Describe how this might be done. Describe some problems this approach might have if we decide to extend it in the future to have some automated tool try to identify inappropriate material. \n\nRUP: Describe a milestone between each phase. \n\nExtreme Programming: Write a user story to describe how users could upload a file.

This is not a direct question, its a complete development effort, so I'm only going to say that for me RUP is the best approach.\nBy the way if this is a real-life problem why don't you try sharepoint and office 2003 instead of writing it :)

Not clear on this one, but from what I'm reading I would guess the co worker that is sharing the folder needs to increase his threshold amount for users that can access the folder at one time. \n\nHe should be able to increase this in properties tab for that folder. \n\nTry this out.

what type of files are they that you have created using publisher, are they images or are they html files or what exactly, maybe you can zip it all up and upload it to some webspace or something , email me it and i will have a look at it :)\n\nOther then that i think it may be your associations ie your file associations :)

Hi you are referring to the concept of e-groupware. See link below. This is an open source project (GPL) so you can do whatever you want with it.\n\nWe are in the middle of creating an online office service to provide exactly what you are referring to. It's our belief that one can totally mobilize an office now.\n\nhope that helps, there are a few paid options but they are quite pricey.  The link below has an online demo.

try rapidshare, or megauploads.com\nthey offer free uploads. but u need to ensure ur file is accessed atleast once a month.

I'm sure that Google, Yahoo and Hotmail have their own people creating their file upload software. i.e. they have programmers that create their customised software to do everything that they need to create their web site.\n\nGenerally I use CuteFTP or WS_FTP for file uploading to my own web site but everyone has their own preference.\n\nhttp://personalweb.about.com/od/ftpfileuploadprograms/

Rapidshare is one of the world's biggest websites (See www.alexa.com). Recently this has meant that we have been the victim of more criminal activity than ever before. Please read the following advice to protect yourself from phishers.\n\nIt depend on other peoples disk speeds, and the amount of downloads per file. its in fact a p2p but they store the file for you. I think its crap there are better ways.

unless you're going to setup a file server on your pc you can't do that - windows by default isn't configured to allow the contents of your computer to be displayed on the web.\n\nthere is a difference between pictures stored on web servers and pictures stored on home computers - you REALLY don't want to go sharing portions of your personal computer with everyone on the internet especially if you don't understand how any of it works.\n\nsee one of my previous posts to a 'question' from someone called 'katie' (real name alexander) who had setup a file server on his machine and said 'hey everyone try this game' then linked to a virus *.exe on his machine. what he didn't realise is that because he thought he was being clever but didn't understand how file servers work he had shared his entire hard drive including pictures of his mothers credit card (with expiry date and security code), his porn collection, and embarassing chatlogs of himself trying to initiate cybersex sessions with girls on yahoo. you see my point - had i not posted a reply to his attempt to infect people to point this out all of his computer would still be up their on the internet for people to mess with.\n\non a practical note, lets say for example you *do* buy the software necessary to allow files on your own pc to be accessed on the internet.\n\nwhat happens if you don't have a static/non-changing ip address and your ip address changes? :O you'll then have to go around all the places where you posted links to that ip address and the files on it and change every link to match your current ip address. and you'll have to do that EVERY time your ip address changes or people will just see a big red X where the image(s) should be. \n\nsounds like fun doesn't it?\n\ni won't even get into the serious security implications of making your home computer's ip address public to everyone online...

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)\nHTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) (or maybe not )\n\nin http u see those interfaces and text and images lined up in tables and so on\nftp is just plain files\nhttp use links and u can save their targets\nbut if u r gonna use just plain files and u just get in and take the file u should use ftp why?\n\nIt's more flexible..It's like u r browsing ur files u can copy/paste the files anywhere quickly with the same way u would if u copy files from My Documents to Desktop\nand choose multiple files and......etc\n\nIt's just that u r browsing files with ur explorer (not internet explorer but folder explorer)\n\nits problem is that u need to know where to go...as u will see no text that tells u "If u want X click here"\nmany people use folder names as long sentences to guide u as they are the only text u can see..

This site is a great way to share large files:\nhttp://www.verzend.be/?page=index\nYou can have a file up to 1GB!

The larger the number, the better the quality. However, the larger the number, the larger the final file will end up. It's up to you which one to use. If it's strictly on your home PC, I would use the largest you can.  However, if you intend to upload them to a web site, users who don't have broadband connections will stay away from large files.\n\nThe best thing to do is to try to make different quality files and weigh your options. File size vs. quality and see what works best for you.

Just some ideas, how about setting up a cron job to transfer the files over, or link a file on your other computer if you only want to view the files, or possibly back up the files with a programme like keep http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=32984. it may be worth asking on www.justlinux.com, I should think someone would know.

What do want to distribute? What specific items would you prefer.\nFind someone doing what you want to do and copy them.\nNo need to reinvent the wheel!

write it yourself or find an open source solution.\nno one is going to research this, or write it for you.

There really isn't any difference in describing what you need to a web developer or a software developer. They will both be looking for (if they are worth describing the problem to) in no particular order:\n1. context diagrams that define how the external interfaces interact with your system,\n2. what the requirements (functional, non-functional, constraints) of the system,\n3. a flow chart describing how the user interacts with your front-end,\n4. how you want the data to be stored,\n5. a set of well defined business rules have always helped me,\n6. describe what your vision of the application is, the goals and what you hope to accomplish in the future with it (this will help the developer make strong decisions may affect any future modifications and extensibility of the application).\n\nMy best recommendation to you is to just lay everything and anything you can think of down on the table. Obviously, do it after you've deemed them worthy of the job.

First of all add a treeview form to your form... \n\nfrom there I recommend using the file system object to get the hard drives from the system and all all of them as nodes, then when a folder is clicked, make it a child node of the parent folder...ect.\n\nTry a yahoo search for information on the File System object and tree nodes if you do not have any practical examples.....\n\nthanks
