[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.

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?

Dedicated MP3 / GPS HTC Incredible

I bought an HTC Incredible from a friend for 40 bucks with the express purpose of converting it to a dedicated GPS and MP3 player for the car.
While this seems a simple enough task, there were a few hurdles to jump through to make it happen.
Process steps:
1. Root the phone and install CyanogenMod 7.2 (instructions easily available elsewhere on XDA - unlock the bootloader at HTCDev first to make things easy)
2. Download CoPilot Live from the market - this gives you GPS capability without the need for a data connection, then download the US Map
3. Download PlayerPro from market - configure it the way you want.
4. Put the phone in Airplane Mode and enable GPS. Turn on Wi-Fi when required. If anyone knows of a good way to completely remove the phone without breaking it, I'm all ears - I tried renaming telephone_provider.apk and phone.apk, but that just caused an error loop that required a battery pull and reflash of the ROM to correct.
If you run into static or distortion in the playback (I did, and almost ditched the idea altogether because of it) try these steps:
1. Download and install CDex
2. Download and install MP3Gain
3. Copy contents of music folder to a desktop folder
4. Open MP3Gain and drag all of the music from the SDcard to your desktop folder. Delete music files from SDcard. (best to make another copy of folder so you can keep originals in case something goes wrong)
5. Delete all files from the PlayerPro folder except "Stats", ".nomedia" and "playerpro.pro"
6. Turn off USB connection and ON THE PHONE go to PlayerPro>menu button>Music Library>Refresh mediastore
7. Select All and pull all of the music from the folder into the MP3Gain window.
8. Select all in the window and choose analysis>track analysis from the menu bar.
9. You'll see that some of the files are highlighted red, these are clipped files. Leave the gain at default (89.0) and select all again (may not be required, but I did it anyway) then hit Modify Gain>apply track gain from the menu bar. You'll see that the "Y's" in the clipping column disappear, and the volume and track gain values drop to @89.0 and 0, respectively.
10. Close MP3Gain
Now...
1. Open CDex and go to Options>Settings:
a. General>Directories & Files:Set to somewhere easy to find.
b. Encoding>Encoders: Under Encoder options set Bitrate Min and Max to 128kbps
c. Encoding>Tags: if you're doing one album from the same artist, go ahead and fill all this in and set a picture. if not, skip it.
2. Drag all modified files into the window.
3. Choose "Encode" from the popup window
3. Reconnect phone re-enable USB connection
4. When files are finished, go to the output folder and copy over the MP3 Files to your music folder on device.
5. Disconnect USB and refresh playerpro mediastore again.
NOTE: If you have multiple artists and want to tag it all so it looks better, use MP3Tag to get all the information in quickly and easily. Good source for album art is Wikipedia... Just be sure to go to playerpro>menu>Look and Feel> and check "Prefer ID3 artwork" to use your own pictures.
You may have a quicker solution, but this went pretty fast and it got rid of all the static and hissing noises during playback in the car through the headphone port to stereo connection.
As mentioned before - if anyone has a tip for safely removing the phone functions, I'd appreciate it.

Putting the phone in airplane mode should be good enough, its not worth risking OS stability by trying to remove system apps unless you really need the space.
MP3Gain is great, I've been using it for years. I find 89 a little lower than average for newer music, (95-98 seems more average) but this could be because they are releasing music too loud these days, see "loudness war" on wikipedia.
If you are listening to music using headphones on Gingerbread or newer, I'd recommend Equalizer, a system wide EQ:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
If you are listening in the car its not worth using as car stereos have their own equalizers and powerful enough amplifiers.

I don't really need the space, it's just a "can it be done?" thing.
Ideally, I'd like remove everything related to the telephone with the exception of the contact list...

Hi @digesh9870, the dev list has fixed according to the latest vote, discussed with dev team, they will support this feature in their free time. If you have any other requirement, we will add to the vote list, your vote will fast the progress.

@balilu
the feature "Move file to target folder" is in poll.
In our dev plan, this is the same as you mentioned "Cut & paste", but I wonder if you have more ideas to file operations on mobile, kindly please share more experience while you dealing with files.
Many thanks.

Hi All, you can also leave your idea/suggestions here, to build our own file manager together.
We shall collect all your suggestions, and schedule in our dev/poll list.

i would request you to add feature's which are:
1.preview of audio file while selecting audio files for sending via whatever
will add more in a few minutes gotta go somewhere...

@uuOuu
Feature request: editing permissions. Allows you set r/w permission for owner/group/everyone.
Another feature request: Instead of displaying share folders not available, you could perhaps just remove the option.
Yet another feature request: allow removing /system apps (root only of course), but add a warning: you are removing a system app etc. etc.

Here are my requests to make it awesome,
Symlink the application from Preload to System app for Samsung device (Or say create a link for the file) option.
Backup the apk and its data.
Backup the application automatically when installed/updates on user choice, also an option to keep the max versions.
Open and edit ability for zip files even to create zip files.

Hey some features to add:
- permissions changer for root, if possible also multi file premission changer. I couldnt find this in any root explorer.
- root - mount rw
- cloud for dropbox, gdrive etc.,
- if we have app manager why not to give us app backup with this?
- rar unpacking if not present, I dont know
- playlists creator? I remember it was in old astro file browser and was working great with Sony Walkman which dont have playlists creator from folders
- maybe it is posiible to add custom path for bluetooth? Would be awesome
- and stilll thinking what more.
Anyway it is first file manager where users are choosing features mostly

[APP][4.0+]Auto Move Free - the app that knows where your files should be!

Hi,
I recently launched my new app at Google Play and know I want to present it here!
Auto Move is an app, which moves all the files you want to your desired location - and you don't have to do anything for it!
Example: You want every PDF file you are downloading to be moved to a certain destination. That's no problem for Auto Move!
In order to get the app working like this, you have to add a filter, which is filtering for "pdf" files - if you want it to filter for several filetypes at once, that's no problem - just seperate the filter tags by commas. Alternatively it's possible to filter for the filename (e.g. "wallpaper" or "university").
After defining source and target destination you can save the filter now (or add just more filters) and begin filtering!
There's an option in the settings, which let you define how the app should work in the backgroud:
Service: The app will register new files automatically and begin to move them.
Time Intervall: The app will scan the filesystem for new files in the defined intervall.
no automatic filtering: The app won't do anything accept to told him so manually.
All advantages of the app:
unlimited amout of filters
easy configuration because of several filterwords in one filter
filtering for file extension or file name is possible
moving or copying of the files is possible
automatic moving (with service) oder by time intervall is possible
loss of data isn't possible since backup and restore feature
great design
RESTRICTIONS OF THE FREE VERSION:
there is a maximum of one filter
you can't restore a database backup
I've attached some screenshots, that you can look at the app.
I hope you like my app! If don't please contact me!

What a most smart app I've ever seen! Good work
Can you add the case about apk files which require root permissions or xposed framework or not?

@marbulas
Thank you very much!
Do you mean that it should possible to filter for apk files with these different properties?

I think many people will need this app being much smarter.
(the specified amount of size of files, resorting files in specified directory based in date
(for example, many people will need to sort with folders about their photos and videos : if I take pictures today, the app put them into the folder names 20140915 made by the app automatically),
specied something other people suggests...)

Useful app i'm gone use it from now on! Keep the improvements coming

Thank you very much guys!
I'm going to look how difficult it is to implement these features!

[Q] Sync folder with Foldersync Profile

I would like some more experienced opinions/ideas with a profile I created on Tasker. First of all, I'm on a rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 - SCH-I545 running Goldfinger ROM. I've been using Taker for several months. The new profile that I just created is where, whenever I have Firefox or Chrome download a file, they download to /storage/sdcard0/Download/. I can't change where they download to. Now I have Foldersync that I have sync the files between the location /storage/sdcard0/Download/ and /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/ and then remove the file from the original download path storage/sdcard0/Download/. Now, in Tasker, the profile is:
Context: Event: File Modified --> /storage/sdcard0/Download/
Task: Foldersync: Sync folder pair now. Foldersync's folder pair is /storage/sdcard0/Download/ and /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/.
My problem is this:
Sometimes my download only takes a second and then it syncs. But if the file takes longer than a few seconds, it tries to sync while it's downloading so it moves the partially downloaded file, thus corrupting the file. I know that I can set up Tasker to wait any X number of seconds or minutes before syncing but it's different for every download. Can anyone think of any variables that I can program for this task that will sync the downloaded file(s) but NOT UNTIL the download completes?
I love Tasker but I don't understand enough of programming to come up with Variables or to even understand them.
Edit: If anyone knows how to go about changing the default download path of Chrome and Firefox mobile to /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/ that would be perfect too. Then I wouldn't need this Tasker profile.

Note
Now I know it would make sense to use Foldersync to do a daily sync but a lot of files I download are flashable zips that I want on the extsdcard right then and there so I can go right into recovery and flash it. But what I've been having to do is use ROM Toolbox to manually move the file from internal to external sdcard before booting into recovery. It's a hassle and really annoying though.

Command
Might it be possible to create a script with an app like Scripter to do this task? Maybe even something along the lines like this: When a file is being downloaded with Chrome or Firefox it creates a temp file. Would the creation/removal of that temp file be enough of an event, either with Tasker or an automated script, to trigger the Foldersync task or execute a mv command for the file that was downloaded?

Maybe try Event > UI > Notification > Download Complete
Or something to that effect. After Chrome downloads a file it says download complete in the notification tray. I would imagine some playing around would make it work.

Thanks for the input. I figured out a different way to do this. I'm using this app to symlink the two download folders. Now I don't even need to use Foldersync or Tasker. Thanks for your help!
