As many of you may already know, I’m a networking protocols guru. I’ve, in addition to publishing some, say, HTTP proxies (for example, the only one that really makes it possible to share your Web access across Pocket PC devices on pre-WM5 AKU3 devices) and tons of related utilities, tracked down a LOT of mailing / HTTP-related problems and bugs in several operating systems / with several mailer / Web clients. (Look for some of my problem reports for example in my IMAP Bible if interested to get a picture what kind of protocol-level stuff / debugging I’m doing on the Pocket PC.)
Upon scrutinizing a recent problem report in the microsoft.public.pocketpc newsgroup, I’ve developed further my set of POP3 debugging servers to make it easy to offer Pocket PC / desktop mailer clients a very easy way to feed email headers + bodies available as a separate text file to.
The new, Outlook-friendly emulator’s source is available here, listens to incoming desktop Outlook requests at port 5671 and requires the full input message (headers + body), trailed by a single “.” (to denote the end of the message) in the last separate row, in an in.txt file in the same directory.
Hope you find it useful, should you ever need a very quick way to test e-mail compliance involving the desktop Microsoft Outlook.
I want to be able to run queries on a remote database. Is there an SQL application out there that is similar to MySQL Workbench for PC? Or at least the SQL Editor that is part of MySQL Workbench?
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to configure Outlook client with my company account, running Exchange 2007 SP2.
However, due to server configuration and presumably either a wp7 bug and specifically Optimus7 bug, I can not set the correct login data.
In fact my server requires this kind of login:
Code:
DOMAIN\Surname[space]Name
while Optimus7 does not allow to type [space] in the login form!!!
I'm not the domain administrator and I have no chance to manage server-side Exchange settings.
I tried to login both with email and surname.name <- this is the real cn value), with no success: maybe ISA blocks all different login attempts not matching DOMAIN\Surname[space]Name values.
I will appreciate who can help me.
Hi guys. A friend of mine (realgpp, developer of CPU Spy Plus) suggested me to give more visibility to my app, so I decided to open a thread on this forum.
Introduction
GammaSync is an application for remote file synchronization between a client and a server.
The GammaSync Android client can be downloaded from the Play Store (unfortunately, I still am not enabled to post URLs in my posts... just search for GammaSync on the PlayStore).
A GammaSync Java server (more about it later) can run on any Windows/Linux/Mac system. The link to the GammaSync Java server can be found on the description page of GammaSync on the Play Store.
Unlike other file synchronization applications (Dropbox, SugarSync, Google Drive), GammaSync does not rely on an external cloud storage service, so the amount of data that you can synchronize is unlimited. Direct connections are established between the client and the server.
This means that the machine on which your GammaSync server is running (it may be a PC, Mac, Raspberry Pi, whatever) must be accessible to the GammaSync client, by either:
being in the same LAN/Wifi network
or having a public IP address (services like No-IP let you register on public IP addresses)
Links
The basic idea behind GammaSync is to create links between local directories (on the client) and remote directories (on the server). You can then launch synchronizations for each link, or for all of them together. When the synchronization is complete, the local directory will contain the same files as the remote directory.
Server configuration
Download the GammaSync Java server. The server requires no installation: just extract the contents of the ZIP somewhere.
The only thing you need to configure on the server is the list of accessible directories: these are going to be the only directories accessible to GammaSync clients. You must edit the accessibleDirectories.txt file to change the list of accessible directories. Just write the directory paths, one per line. Example:
G:/TV Shows/Prison Break
G:/TV Shows/The Walking DeadThen, just start your server:
on Windows: launch start_server.bat
on Mac/Linux: launch start_server.sh
A shell should appear, and the server should print something like this:
GammaSync server started.
Addresses:
192.168.1.200
Protocol: 1.5
Accessible directories:
G:/TV Shows/Prison Break
G:/TV Shows/The Walking Dead
Waiting for clients...If you accidentally start the GammaSync server when an instance is already running, you get this error:
Port number is already used. You may already have a running instance of the GammaSync server.The first time you use the GammaSync Android client, you must specify the IP address of the GammaSync server you want to connect to. To do this, go to the menu, then Settings > GammaSync server. This setting needs to be changed whenever your server changes its IP address, so you might prefer using a static IP address in your server's network settings.
Add links
You can add links by selecting Add link from the menu. Each link is defined as:
a local directory: the path of the directory in your Android device
a remote directory: the path of the directory (on your server) that you want to target
a file matching policy (more on this later)
If the GammaSync server is reachable when you are adding the link, the remote directory selection is set to auto mode by default, and you can choose the desired remote directory from the list of accessible directories declared by the server. You can switch to manual mode to modify the remote directory path manually, for example if you want to target a specific subdirectory, or a directory which is not yet registered as accessible on the server.
The local directory selection is set to auto mode too by default, and gives you a suggested local directory path for the remote directory you have selected. The root of these suggested local directory paths can be changed on Settings > Default local directory root.
Synchronization
Once the server is running and reachable, you can synchronize a link by just clicking on Sync. You will get a notification once the synchronization is complete. You can also synchronize all links at once by selecting Sync all from the menu.
If you don't want to synchronize the entire content of a remote directory, you can use selective synchronization. Instead of transferring all the necessary files directly, the GammaSync server will first send a list of the files that need to be transferred, and you can select the files that you want to receive. You can also launch selective synchronizatin on all links at once by selecting Selective-sync all from the menu.
File matching policies
File matching policies are rules that determine when a local file (on the client) is considered equal to a remote file (on the server), and so will not need to be re-transferred. These rules are based on:
File size. Two identical files of course have the same size (in bytes).
File hash. The hash of a file is a fingerprint based on its content. There is a very small probability that two different files have the same hash. Hashes take time to calculate, because the file content must be read.
The file matching policies currently supported by GammaSync are:
Complete Hash. Two files are considered equal if:
their sizes are the same
and the hashes over their entire binary content are the same
This policy is the most accurate, but it is also the slowest, because calculating the hash over the entire binary content takes time. Consider using this policy only if you really need to check for differences in the entire content of the file. Otherwise, consider using Partial Hash.
Partial Hash. The two files are considered equal if:
their sizes are the same
and the hashes over their first X bytes are the same
This X parameter is defined as hash coverage. This policy is much faster than Complete Hash, especially for big files. Consider using this policy for directories containing files that, when different, are also different in their first X bytes. For example, you can usually see that two multimedia files are different by just reading their first 1 MB.
Security issues
All communication between client and server is currently not encrypted, and the server currently performs no authentication of the client. If you are running your GammaSync server on a non-trusted network, you might be exposing sensible data to unauthorized clients and/or sniffers in your network.
Client authentication and communication encryption will be added in future versions of GammaSync. Until then, do not expose sensible data in your accessible directories (or do it at your own risk).
Future features
Future versions of GammaSync will feature:
secure, encrypted communication
authentication through Google account
bidirectional synchronization
file matching policy based on the file's last modified date
custom limits on the size of the local directories

pretty much anything you want to tell me about the app
I am very interested in your feedback, and more than willing to give you my support. I hope you enjoy the app
Thank you for such a wonderful utility, really appreciate your effort. I tried your app without any issues and it does exactly what it says. However there are few things that I observed:
- In case you are doing a first time sync it takes certain amount of time because its actually writing down files on my Android, however if you do a re-sync or just sync again it still take the same amount of time to get the sync done. Shouldn't it take far less time, beacuse it is just checking the hash and not actually wrtting the files?
- It will be really nice to be able to configure which way I want to sync:
a. from my android to PC
b. from my PC to android
I am asking this beacuse at times the information on Android is newer than what I have on my PC and however in its current version it would simply copy back all my older files from PC to my Android, thus losing all my new files. I know its WIP but it would be great if you can prioritize this feature.
Once again thank you for writing such an intutive and user friendly app.
I wish to be able to delete from server the deleted files from Android device. Unfortunately now the sync keep download the files i delete from Android.

Just ran this and accidentally deleted all my music on my nexus 5 trying to sync it with an empty music folder on my pc lol...I should learn how to read better. Completely my fault, I didn't realize it only syncs in one direction (from server to client).
Seems like a great app. I look forward to bilateral syncing so I can have files on my Android device moved to my PC. As is right now, unfortunately this app only does half of what I need.
Any one got this working on Windows 8.1? I'm getting errors:

Please help me with my problem,I tried several VPN providers for surfing the Internet, like StrongVPN or HotspotVPN,
I`m interested can I have my own VPN services for surfing the internet,
it is possible to create my own VPN with
GoDaddy dedicated server – Windows 2008?
I have small company (5 user), and I want that all my internet surfing go through
dedicated server via VPN, Is it possible to install OpenVPN Access software
on GoDaddy dedicated server with 5 user.
Thanks,
Hi,
I signed up for a Virtual Dedicated Server with Windows 2008 and I am able to use VPNSecure.Me software to connect through several VPN’s successfully.
Hope this helps.
