MDB FILE TRANSFERS AN ISSUE? NO LONGER :)
Some files cannot be transferred by HTTP. For example MDB Files and so-forth. This App lets you convert any file into expanded 7-Bit text (twice as big) OR Convert a (Retrieved via HTTP) 7-Bit file, back into an 8-Bit file - - RENAMING IT from .TXT to it's Original Binary Format, File Name.
Either SHELL it or use SendTo to use it.
Enjoy
Cheers,
Kevin Ritch

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
- Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
- NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
- Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net

The purpose for this code is so that you can shove MDB's etc up to your NT/IIS Website and with a SIMPLE 5 minute app, provided to end users, transparently DOWNLOAD the data to their machines. I use it for updating systems with the latest files. It also creates target directories too) NO OCX's are required whatsoever. No WinSocks nor any other bed-linen-... No nothin :) Download using guaranteed pre-existing Windows Components.even under Windows 7 !!!

Hi!
Wouldn't zipping MDB files, etc. make HTTP transfers easier?

Hi Bonnie,
Perhaps... if you made a self-extracting Zip.
Otherwise you would need to also install an OCX or DLL to do the Unzipping.
My solution requires extra components.
:-)
Cheers,
Kevin

Sorry, I forgot to mention that my Client Apps which execute without any 3rd Party OCX's or DLL's etc., can be instructed to automatically update various files off the website. Getting the files up to the server is done via Dropbox on my Development Machine to a CloudTop PC (Virtual PC at GoDaddy) which runs an App. That App collects files from dropbox - shoves them over for HTTP Collection and indexes them on the IIS Server.
Zipping the stuff up was a thought... but it's so much EASIER for me the way that I do it.
The Hexing stuff is all done automatically within a function in my publishing software and in the Client's upload apps.
It all just RUNS. Under any version of Windows.
My Apps are Thick Clients which work with ASP Pages on the corporate website.
Cheers,
Kevin
