FileZilla Transfer Speed Display, FileZilla FTP Not Showing Transfer Speeds

Errors1 Comment

Tonight I was downloading some packages from a community FTP server I am a member of and noticed that the transfer speeds were not showing after I started to process the FileZilla FTP transfer queue. Initially I figured I must have unchecked a toolbar or accidentally modified a view setting without knowing it. After reviewing the FileZilla configuration I couldn’t find anything that specified the display of the transfer speeds. Below I show FileZilla when it is not displaying the transfer speeds when it is in the middle processing a queue, what steps I took to resolve the issue, and last but not least what FileZilla should display when it is processing files from the transfer queue.

Clear Out Postfix Queue, Analyze Postfix Email Queue

InsightsLeave a comment

Earlier today we had a minor issue on a development server that generated around 175,000 emails dumped into a Postfix queue in a short amount of time. I needed to first analyze the emails and second clear the Postfix queue. Below is information on how to learn more about the emails in the Postfix queue, what domain they are being sent to, and last but not least delete those emails from the queue if they are not needed.

Remove Documents Stuck In Windows Printer Queue, Printing Document Status Stuck At Deleting

Insights8 Comments

The issue of documents being stuck in the Windows print queue has a similar solution as an article I wrote a couple days ago regarding deleting Windows Printer Ports. If you are an Information Technology administrator for Windows computers you have definitely seen at one time or another documents stuck in someones print queue. You can pause the document and then delete it most of the time however in certain scenarios the document will stay in queue until you reboot. Instead of rebooting I offer another solution below to remove documents stuck in the Windows printer queue.

Remove Amavis Content Filter From Postfix Configuration, Requeue All Postfix Email Messages

Insights8 Comments

I installed ISPConfig awhile back on a web hosting server that at one point also hosted email accounts. I recently moved all of the email to a different server and wanted to cut down on CPU and memory usage so I needed to disable amavisd, clamd, courier-imap, and courier-authlib. These services provided a way to receive email via POP3 and IMAP as well as content filtering and virus scanning for all of that email. So after shutting all of the services down I needed to remove the reference to the local content filter from Postfix because if amavis is shut down and mail is sent from a web application to the localhost then the connection will be refused and Postfix will not send the email. Below I describe the Postfix configuration lines to comment out as well as a way to reload all of the queued email into the Postfix queue so it could be sent again.

Manage Your Netflix Instant Queue Directly From Your iPhone or iPod Touch

InsightsLeave a comment

I have been using various applications on the iPhone for a long time now so I wanted to write about many of the iPhone applications I use on a regular basis. One application that I have recently started using a lot again is iPhlix which I use to manage my Netflix account. The reason I have been using it a lot more is because I can queue movies in your Netflix Instant Queue to watch on my Xbox 360. If I am out somewhere waiting for an appointment or waiting at a restaurant it is nice to be able to search movies to queue in my Netflix Instant Queue to watch when I get home. The iPhlix application cost money however it is much more solid than the Phone Flicks application which is free. Below I will describe each application and provide screenshots so you can make the decision if it is worth spending money on iPhlix versus just downloading Phone Flicks for free.
