Thank you for your replies. Irfan View is indeed an excellent application, but it cannot handle Freehand files. Seems like I'll have to find someone with Freehand who will do the conversion for me...

I need to convert a large amount of Freehand files into graphics I can use in a website, probably jpeg. As this is a one-time project, I don't want to invest in expensive applications just for this task. Do you know of low-cost or freeware applications that can convert Freehand files into other, more popular, formats? Thanks

Following This post I would like to know whether it would be possible to move my account to a different datacenter. I keep getting complaints from visitors about the slow connection. Like many of your customers I am pleased with your service, but given these complaints, if the bad connection problem cannot be solved I'll probably have to move to anohter hosting company with a more reliable connection to this part of the world. Thanks

What does that mean? Can anything be done about it?

This is my second month with TCH and I am generally very pleased with everything. However, during some parts of the day the connection to your site is terribly slow from where I am, in Israel. I have a broadband connection with one of the major ISPs here, and was told it is the same with another major ISP. Fortunately, with my website (server 69) the problem is the least serious. Sometimes it just loads slowly, and most of the time the speed is reasonable. Loading these forums, however, can sometimes take more than a minute, and I usually have to wait several minutes before pages of your ModernBill system load fully.

Thanks. How do I do that?

Is it possible to prevent downloading of specific file types? I am using an application that stores files users should not be accessing in the smae directory to which uses go to access it. The hard way would be to move these files outside outside the public_html dir and change all the references to them in the application. If I could just prevent downloading files of specific types that would solve my problem.

If there was a reseller plan with 300mb/2gb for not much more than the cost of TCH's "starter plan" I would glady take it... These sites are non-commercial, non-profit information sites with very few visits a day. Most contain only a few pages of text. Some are just a favour I am doing for someone. There is no reason, and no one, to pay so much for so little.

I like totalchoice very much. But even the $4 plan is too big for a some websites. I adminiser a few very small, very low-traffic websites which could all fit together into TCH's "Starter Plan" and still use only a fraction of the allocated diskspace and bandwidth. Ordering a $4 for each would be crazy. So I am looking for an honest and reliable host that allows hosting multiple domains on a single small plan. So far, I didn't find the ideal host. The ones that have the features and the plans I need are relatively new and I cannot find any reviews about them. Others are very expensive. And two hosts about which I did find good reviews never replied to my e-mails, and this isn't a good sign. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Thanks. According to the PHP documentation, the default mode for mkdir is 777. Is this wrong, or is PHP on your server configued differently? So do I need to change the line in the code to >mkdir("path", 0777); ? Thanks also for the security tips. My script indeed allows only specific file types defined in a special list. And only registered users can upload files. Users who want to upload files of different types must ask me to add the type they want to upload to the list.

I have a PHP script that occasionally creates a new directory where files uploaded by users are stored. The new directories are created using mkdir. Each time a such directory is created, there is a problem with its permissions: new files can be saved in it, but I cannod chmod, rename or delete them. So far, each time a new directory was created I had to turn to your support and request them to fix the problem. Why is this happening? Is it something in my script that I need to do differently? Thanks

I am maintaining a website for someone who might wish to see the awstats of their website, but that should better not access cpanel themselves. Is there by any chance a way to grant them access to the stats without having to access cpanel? Thanks

Thanks. Do I need to create a .htaccess file for each subdomain if I want to disable register_globals for it?

Is it possible by any chance to turn reigster_globals for a specific account off? Thanks

Thanks

Do subdomains need to have robots.txt files of their own, or is there a way to include instructions about them in the base domain name's robots.txt file? Thanks

AntiVir (http://www.free-av.com/) lacks the cool looks but does a great job.

I am about to start using a script that will let users upload files to the server and download them. I was wondering whether there is some external service that would scan such files for the security of users, or whether there is some other way you know or can think of to detect harmful files (other than just limiting file types to ones that are not likely to contain harmful code). I suppose that installing an anti-virus software on the server that can be called on demand by a script isn't possible. Or is it?

I have been using the Bat almost since its creation. From time to time I tried other mail clients, just out of curiosity, but never found any even close to the Bat in terms of useful features and reliability (I am still on the same message database since 1996 or so, with many thousands of messages, never lost anything, and searches are still very quick even on a relatively slow computer). It is true that the basic structure of the software hasn't chnaged much since its creation, but over the years they added many features which one gets to discover only after some digging. So far, there were only two major releases. All the minor releases were free. Ver. 2 isn't very different from ver. 1, although it does include several useful enhacemnets. The only disadvatage I see in the Bat is that it still does not support non-left-to-right text well. As a writer of Hebrew, this is at times limiting. Other than that, it is definitely the best e-mail client I have ever seen, by far.

Thank you!

Hello According to your explanations, the contents of a website can be accessed both via normal http and using https. But suppose I want to prevent some pages/scripts from being accessed using a non-secure connection. What would be the right way to do this? The only way I could think of is to add a PHP script that verifies that the URL is indeed "https://...". Thanks
