[APP] Instant Upload

This app is to be used to conveniently upload files to your FTP or SFTP server.
The app has a queuing functionality which can be enabled under settings.
Help text (from app):
Instant Up is used to quickly upload any type of file to your server.
FTP settings must be configured before use. To configure, choose Settings in the options menu.
Here is an example, to help you configure.
If you specify file type zip and path myZipFolder, all zip files will be uploaded to myZipFolder.
If you want all file types to be uploaded to the same server directory, specify * in the file type column. This rule will be used for all files not matching any of the other rules.
If no rule exists for the current file type you will be forwarded to an FTP browser to let you select a destination folder.
Start using Instant Up now by, for instance, downloading a file in the web browser and clicking on it in the Downloads section of the browser.
If queueing is enabled in settings, files will not be uploaded instantly, instead you are able to queue up all files that you need to upload. If all files in queue are matching some rule defined, the files will be uploaded to the correct folders depending on the rules. If some file does not match any rule, you will be asked for an upload folder and (NOTE) ALL files in queue will be uploaded to that folder.

I like your sftp app, but could you please add public key authentication?

Thanks.
How would you like that to work?

Like in AndFTP or Connectbot. The AndFTP method is a lot simpler than the Connectbot method. I would say that the simpler method is enough:
The user generates a public/private key pair with ssh-keygen or dropbearkey on his server. Then he appends the public key to his ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and copies the private key to the phone. The sftp client can now import that private key and use it.
Probably it would be easier if you would specify a fixed directory and filename where the user should store his private key, e.g. /sdcard/InstantUpload/id_dsa (or id_rsa). If there is a file with that filename, Instant Upload can import the key and store it internally, and then delete the file. That way you don't need a file selection dialog and the user doesn't need to hunt for the file with that dialog.

Thank you for a very thorough description. I will have a look at it!

Good and thorough work, man. But for what reason? Most of Android file explorers already can interact with FTP.

Thanks.
The only reason why I started to build this app was that I wanted something that in the fastest way possible let me download any file from the browser and directly upload it to an SFTP server.
I have searched for apps that supported this, but none of them could do this.
With the file explorers you have to do something like the following:
Download file from browser
Close browser
Open File Explorer
Browse to the folder containing the file
Find the file in the folder
Long click the file
Select upload action
Select destination folder
With this app only three steps are required:
Download file from browser
Click on file
Select application (Instant Upload)

New version out. The free version now supports SFTP as well.

Since the market link leads here I assume you did the Spotify Controller app.
I just installed the server on Win7 x64 and...there is a LOT wrong with it.
I actually package software for a living, unless you protest I will probably try to put together a PROPER package for the current version of the server software.
Honestly, using a zip file means everything gets tagged as a download from the internet, which means every batch files prompts (or more usually, just flat out fails when called from a batch files). Using a vbscript to create shortcuts is ok, but the shorcut didn't have the working directory set. It points to the controller.bat in the main directory, which calls controller.bat in the server subdirectory, which is redundant and asking for trouble. The batch files it calls will almost never work on Win7 (even 32 bit) and surprised it works in XP, because it calls %~dp0java but the JRE by default doesn't add itself to the PATH variable so the server fails to start 100% of the time (this can be fixed by finding the path to java.exe and setting the shortcut to call java.exe and then the command line (don't forget to set the working directory to the /server folder or it will vomit). So both those batch files are unnecessary and break easily.
I had to go through the install.bat and change the paths from %~dp0 to hardcoded, again you could probably come up with just about anything OTHER than a batch file and it would work, as opposed to the way it is now which...doesn't...
Also for us US users new to the party the example URI in the installer isn't available in the US so no matter what it's broken, I found a Green Day song (Jesus of Suburbia) that works and appears to be available everywhere.
http://open.spotify.com/track/10lT3pp9QERGOWiIzLx4We
The server is nice, and fast, and for what it is (and the price) works well. Especially for "party mode" of just switching between playlists or "ohhh I really wanna listen to song x right now!"
But the installer as it is...is so broken as to be virtually useless. The only downside to me making a package for this is that everytime you update the software I'd either have to do it again or use something free like, I believe nullsofts installer.

I would highly recommend learning the Nullsoft installer btw, it is free, and can do a LOT better job than batch files. As far as I know (I use a several thousand dollar software suite at work not nullsoft so I'm not too good with nullsoft) it can even do things like execute a command and wait for feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. The packaging thing has been nagging me for a while now.
I know my packaging is poor and I would be very grateful for any help!
I have tried things like Nullsoft before, and I did not do very well.
Is there any chance that you could create a package for Spotify Controller and instruct me on how to keep that package updated when I release future versions?

I'm actually working on a couple scripts right now, because as nice as MSI's are, there isn't a really good free editor, but at least I can maybe give you some scripts that will make it a little more fault tolerant.

This should create your shortcuts.
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim oFSO, oWsh, link, javaLoc, instDir, shstart, shstop, t1, t2
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oWsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
instDir = "C:\Program Files\SpotCon"
t1 = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
t2 = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
If oFSO.FileExists(t1) Then
javaLoc = t1
ElseIf oFSO.FileExists(t2) Then
javaLoc = t2
End If
Set shstart = oWsh.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\alcaron\Desktop\Start Server.lnk")
shstart.Arguments = "-jar start.jar jetty.port=1258"
shstart.Description = "Spotify Controller"
shstart.IconLocation = instDir + "\resources\icon.ico,0"
shstart.TargetPath = javaLoc
shstart.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Program Files\SpotCon\server"
shstart.Save
Set shstop = oWsh.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\alcaron\Desktop\Stop Server.lnk")
shstop.Arguments = "/F /fi " + CHR(34) + "IMAGENAME eq java.exe" + Chr(34)
shstop.Description = "Spotify Killer"
shstop.IconLocation = instDir + "\resources\icon_kill.ico,0"
shstop.TargetPath = "C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe"
shstop.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Windows\System32"
shstop.Save

The spotifyOpenUri.bat needs to be updated to somehow tell where spotify is installed to. It SHOULD be as simple ad swapping between %programfiles(x86)% and %programfiles%
I hate microsoft for introducing the (x86) directory...whomever did that should be banned from touching computers.
spotify.bat also needs the same modification.
The install.bat is the one that has the most problems. More on that in a second.
Also you can take a zip file capture of your directory and use nullsoft installer to generate an install from that zip file, that gets you around the "tagged as from the internet" issue AND gives you an installer. But it isn't going to give you a shortcut without using a script I don't think.

I downloaded Nullsoft (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page) and tried your code above, but it didn't work at all to compile :-(

Unable to queue up multiple files to sftp from Gallery, only takes 1 file.
Downloaded Instant Upload this evening. Using SFTP to upload from the gallery in my HTC Desire Android phone. Seems to be able to only upload one jpg at a time when I select all. Hope you can get multiple file selections working eventually.

it works,you just have to enable queueing

First-thanks for the app, I'll put my app thoughts in a separate reply.
RE: Packaging apps
I too, in a former existence, was an app packager. It really isn't that hard, at a basic level, but can get some interesting complexities as you progress.
I still use my old Wise Studio to cleanup and customize my own installers/tweaks, etc. It's not great for 7/Vista, but so long as the app is simple it's ok.
There's a free MSI Creator/Editor out there called InstEd - check it out on insted dot com.
Check it out - the "advanced" version is $29.99. I haven't done much with it yet, but for free it's hard to beat.
If you guys want to swap MSI's and VBScripts on this-maybe we should spin up another thread just for the packaging piece.
Oh and I'll vouch for Alcaron's ideas about paths/shortcuts/vbs...you definitely have to be careful about assuming anything. I tend to do a LOT of validation in my scripts and try to fail out gracefully (and log it!), especially if I don't know where the package will be deployed. I log darn near every single line of my scripts - I like to know exactly where it fails.
---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------
I'm likin' the app so far-makes using my SFTP server much more convenient!
Some ideas for features/mods:
I like the "use queue/add to queue" functionality, but it seems the queue will only process if I then open the app and start the processing. I guess what I'm looking for is a background processing - so I add a file to the queue, and the queue processes in the background so I can then go add more files to it. Along with this idea, maybe a setting (to with enabling queue) where the queue delays starting for a couple minutes.
The rules are a creative approach -I wouldn't have thought of that. Perhaps you can add a "Target Folder" option, with folders that the user pre-defines (similar to how rules are predefined). So when a file is selected for sending with Instant Upload, if you have any Target Folders defined it will popup a list. Otherwise it just goes to the default config.
Just some ideas-bounce them around the users and see what some other people think. They may come up with some interesting twists.
Thanks for the app!

Interesting with the first part about MSI, is there any chance you could try and make one for the Spotify Controller Server? That would be just awesome!!
Anywho, that discussion should really continue in the Spotify Controller thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952704 (or a new thread).
About the Instant Upload feature requests. I like the way you are thinking, and I have been thinking in that direction for a while as well. At least with the predefined folders. The background work would mean a bit more work, as I guess I would have to create a service, and I am not sure many people would use such a feature. Do you?

FTP-Server App with Tasker Support?

Hey there,
is there any ftp server app with tasker support so that I can automatically turn on the server when I'm in my home wifi and charging my phone?
Thanks!

To copy a lot of file regularly, you can use folder sync, which has tasker integration also. Foldersync itself is enough if that is all you need.

It seems it was designed that way. If you use the shortcut provided by the EFE itself, it also pop up the app. Maybe you can add an action to go to last app (it is not available at my device), or just press the home button. The other way is use another ftp server. I use server ultimate, which has tasker integration built-in.

Thanks for the reply. I now use folder sync to copy photos etc from device to pc. Since KitKat limits the writing to SD card, haven't been able to write music etc from pc to device.

If you want to sync only specific folders automatically, why not use Syncthing? It works beautifully with Android.

[Q] Do File managers/explorers support SMB writing?

It seems I can mount SMB shares very easily on a few different programs. But when it comes to editing the file and saving, it doesnt stick. It looks like it does, and it has writing "enabled" but it seems to only read it. I wanted to see if there was a solution for editing/saving pdf/word/excel files on a network share without rooting. But so far that seems to be the only option..

Do you really mean "mount" because you can read from/write to an SMB share without ever mounting it as a filesystem.
Mounting is the process of making a resource available as a filesystem within the local directory structure (Hence "mount point")
E.G. ES explorer contains an SMB client that allows you to browse a remote SMB share, but it does not mount the SMB share. Hence the share is not available to any other apps that can only see the local file-system.
Additionally, actual mounting requires system-level privileges (AKA root)

[APP Extra][WIP] Spotify Controller: OS X Controller

cewan created the awesome Spotify Controller application. I really like it and I am obviously not the only one.
Of course this made me even more sad that there is no matching server for OS X; there is a package that you can download but it's only Windows and Linux.
So, I took cewan's server, reverse engineered some of it and come up with this version that works on my Mac.
I could certainly have done it a bit better but not without de/recompiling his Java code so I decided to play with its "facade" scripts instead.
It's very much Alpha quality and I don't expect it to 100% match the current Linux & Windows servers, but I am able to play/pause, fast forward/backward, display song information and add songs from Spotify.
My script builds on top of what Cewan posted here.
It should be compatible with Linux, Windows and OS X.
Get it here (SpotifyController.zip)
Notes:
1. To configure, open a terminal window and run install_osx
2. To run the server, run SpotifyController.sh
I hope to turn it into a more "MAC-like" service in the future.

The installation process for this server seems very straightforward but I absolutely cannot get it to work. This is what I keep getting when I run install_osx:
Code:

Seems that we have a problem controlling Spotify. Make sure you have Spotify (for Linux, not under Wine) installed, running and playing a song. Also make sure that you have "dbus" installed. This script will now exit. When you have solved the requirements, rerun the installation script.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, just saw your post :/
It looks like '.' (current directory) may not be in your path.
Are you running install_osx from the terminal?
If so, try running it again after typing:
Code:
export PATH=.:$PATH

No worries. Thanks for replying. I had a feeling something was wrong with the path and I was able to get the server installed. However, I couldn't get the server to launch. It's been a while since I last tried this so I'll give it another try when I get home from work.

Ok, to answer your question, yes, I am running it from the Terminal. Here's what is returned when I add your snippet of code:
Code:

The only way I could get it to work was to open install_osx in TextEdit and specify the exact location of spotify_install_osx.sh and the other items that are located in the resources. That seems to let me install it, but here's the result:

To automatically start Spotify Controller Server when computer boots, add the application to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.
Don't forget to install the Spotify Controller app from Android Market.
If you experience any problems, see the file "TROUBLESHOOTING".
Happy Listening!

After what appears to be a successful install, I get the following when I launch SpotifyController.desktop.
Code:

my-computer:~ my_computer$ /Users/my_computer/Desktop/SpotifyController.desktop ; exit;

I'm sure what tinkering I've done has rendered the install useless. Any help is appreciated. I'd love to get this up and running as I paid for Macify but it hardly has any functionality. Thanks!

Rather than the desktop shortcut, can you try to run, in terminal, in the directory you installed from:
Code:
SpotifyController.sh
Cheers,

I did try running it from the terminal in the directory I installed it from. If I remember correctly, I received an "insufficient privileges" error which I thought odd because my account has administrative privileges. I'd have to get back to you with the exact error message when I get home. My job gets in the way of the important stuff.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. I really do appreciate it.

Does this need a Premium account?

Unable to get Android app to connect
Install of server went ok. Browsing on the same machine to: localhost:1258/SpotifyControllerServlet/SpotifyControllerServlet
Shows me the current track playing. However, the app cannot find the server - even if I manually enter the ip address (192.168.1.2). Both devices are connected to the same wifi...
Can you help?
Brian

Fixed this - the network in the office must have blocked the specific ports required. I can now connect the app using my home network.
HOWEVER, the app is now asking me to upgrade to Spotify Premium or sync music to my phone... I was under the impression this app was to "remote control" my Mac/Spotify i.e. changes tracks without being next to the Mac. I do not wish to play/stream music to my phone.
Have I missed something?
Brian

So I was finally able to launch the server (None of the files were in the right place so I had to change paths, etc.) and connect to it using the app on my Droid Incredible. Spotify Controller was unable to detect the server automatically so I had to specify the server IP manually. After I did that I was connected in a jiff. However, I'm unable to control Spotify from Spotify Controller. All it states is "Nothing is playing..." If I click on "Select song/playlist" both Songs and Playlists are empty. The app states "There are no items..." and I'm under the impression that Playlists should be populated with all of my Spotify playlists and that Songs should list all the songs in my Spotify library.
Anyways, I don't know if this will be of any help, but here's the output when I run spotifycontroller.sh in Terminal:

Any thoughts?

This is pure speculation on my part since I'm (very obviously) unable to run the app successfully on my phone, but if you're not a premium subscriber, the Spotify app (the one made by Spotify) will only allow you to sync your music on a wi-fi network. You can't access their online library. In order to access the Spotify library (play songs, etc.), you need to be a premium subscriber.
It appears that Spotify Controller has a nifty feature that allows you to add music from Spotify through the official Spotify app. My guess is that this feature of Spotify Controller requires that you have access to the Spotify library, and you will only have access to the library through the official app if you're a premium subscriber. Otherwise Spotify Controller is just a remote.

It's very much Alpha quality and I don't expect it to 100% match the current Linux & Windows servers, but I am able to play/pause, fast forward/backward, display song information and add songs from Spotify.

I hope to turn it into a more "MAC-like" service in the future.

Works on 10.7.2 pretty much as stated above (w/ Spotify Premium), thanks! Any plans of taking this further? Songs and playlists now show up in the remote UI only after adding them with 'Add from Spotify' and for this you need a Premium account, I suppose. Songs from these lists can then be played/paused/skipped, but only as long as the list is still played in the OSX Spotify client (green speaker).
Changing list in OSX Spotify will correctly affect what song is shown in Android, but changing list in the Android remote (to a list that has been added as above) will only change the OSX Spotify display to show this lists songs. The active list from which songs are played will not change.
Starting the Android client and then choosing a list that has been added as above (without starting the OSX Spotify beforehand) will start OSX Spotify, but will not make the list active, i.e. no songs will play before one from the list has been started from the OSX Spotify.
Haven't tested the Win/Linux versions though, so I don't really know if this should work on OSX or not.
I think there's a lot of people looking for a stable and feature-rich Spotify remote for Android. I certainly am and would very much appreciate any development.
This is what I did in Terminal, no problems connecting after this:
$ cd Downloads/SpotifyController
$ sudo ./install_osx
$ chmod u+x SpotifyController.sh
$ ./SpotifyController.sh
[CTRL-c to quit]
Btw, I think the .desktop-files are for Linux, shouldn't be used in OSX.

This worked for me. Using Spotify Unlimited.

This actually works quite well for me. Thanks! The android client does give a warning, that it's recommended to update the server install, and that not all features in the client are available at the moment. Are there plans to integrate this experimental support for mac into the project?

Though this topic is quite old, i'd like to push it. Simply coz there is now nice-working remote for android-mac out there.
I can now control the song playing (skip, play/pause, volume) but still do not have access to my playlists and stuff...
Anyone any idea?

just wondering if you had the original file from the nexus.zteo website, link isnt working for me, website is down i think. the file download worked from there, but not the one you posted, for mac at least, THANKS!!!!

It's working wonderfully, except for that the app opens the Spotify Web Player when I want it to open the Spotify application. Any ideas on how I could manage this?
(Android app, Macbook Pro retina.)
Thanx!

Not working..any help will be appreciated.. OS X Version 10.9.1 & Samsung Galaxy S3

Program is now installed. We will now perform some tests to make sure your installation works correctly. First of all, please start Spotify manually and start playing a song.
Press "Enter" when you have started a song on Spotify:

Seems that we have a problem controlling Spotify. Make sure you have Spotify (for Linux, not under Wine) installed, running and playing a song. Also make sure that you have "dbus" installed. This script will now exit. When you have solved the requirements, rerun the installation script.

Android N Secured File Uri of type content: not supported in API

Can you collect the logs (from menu > help > bug report) immediately after trying the video..? It will give better insight to the issue.

This happens because Uri read permissions is not granted to MX Player by your application even if you have set android:grantUriPermissions="true".
In order to get it running you should explicitly set Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION flag to your intent.
