This week's project, and also the first open source product to be presented on our site, is WinSCP -- an open source SFTP and FTP client for Windows.

Since not every reader out there is a techie or a technology fan, we will present this product using a common, natural language, so that both the home user and the might tech savvy understand what exactly is WinSCP and why one should install and use it whenever operating with a FTP server.

What is WinSCP?

WinSCP can refer to two things:

1. a SourceForge open source project;
2. a Windows FTP and SFTP client.

Both of these definitions rely on the idea and sustained effort of Martin Prikryl, a 29 years old Software developer from Prague, the Capital of the Czech Republic.

WinSCP - the SourceForge Open Source Project

It was he who created a new SourceForge project because once he graduated from the University of Economics in Prague, he had lost the hosting access to the University's server.

Once hosted on SourceForge, which is a large open source portal and community with free registration for open source projects, Martin began working on a SFTP and FTP client for Windows. As we all know, Windows is an operating system developed by the Microsoft Corporation; other than that, some of you might also find it useful to learn that FTP refers to the file transfer protocol (a protocol for transferring files to / from a web server), while SFTP refers to secure file transfer protocol, SSH file transfer protocol, which serves the same purpose but in a secured way.

The WinSCP SourceForge project was started in 2003 and is now hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp. According to project founder Martin Prikryl, there are some 400,000 software unique update checks every weeks, meaning that some 400,000 users have already installed the software on their PCs.

WinSCP - the Windows FTP and SFTP client

WinSCP, the result of Martin's SourceForge project, is a software application for Windows operating system. It allows the user to connect either in the traditional or secured way to a web server via the file transfer protocol, in order to upload or download files to/from the server.

The original description of the WinSCP Windows client is the following:

WinSCP is a SFTP client and FTP client for Windows. Its main function is the secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports, in addition to Secure FTP, also legacy SCP protocol.

The software can be installed for free on either one of the following operating systems:

• 32-bit MS Windows (95/98)
• 32-bit MS Windows (NT/2000/XP)
• All 32-bit MS Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP)
• Win2K
• WinXP

and is available in a multitude of languages, including: Catalan, Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.

As you can see for yourselves, WinSCP cannot be installed on a Microsoft Vista operating system; however, this issue will undoubtedly be solved in the near future.

As of today, September the 26th 2008, the current version of WinSCP is 4.1.6, with the last software update being performed on July the 30th, 2008.

Today, as part of the series "Open Source Browser, Paid-for Mobile", Google and T-Mobile -- a German mobile network company -- have released their first mobile telephone with PC features, called the T-Mobile G1.

T-Mobile G1: operating system, features, price

The T-Mobile G1 from Google - T-Mobile collaboration team comes with pre-installed Android software platform and operating system for mobile devices.

The only thing free in this entire equation is the fact that Google Android is based on the Linux OS and that it was developed by the Open Handset Alliance. Other than that, you'd still have to pay some $179 for a T-Mobile G1.

As for the features, the T-Mobile G1 comes bundled up with a 3 megapixel camera, has a wide color touch screen which you can slide in order to reveal the G1 keyboard, and also includes a pre-installed Internet browser.

T-Mobile representatives have said that the G1 will have an autonomy of 5h of talk time and 130h in stand-by mode.

Manufactured in Taiwan, the G1 mobile phone will be available at the begining of the next year in Europe, while the North-American market being able to sell it as early as October the 22nd, 2008.

Opinions on the T-Mobile G1 mobile phone

Google Products President and co-founder Larry Page stated at a product news conference in New York that the new T-Mobile G1 "is as good a computer as you had a few years ago" and that the Android software will be provided for free along with the mobile phone, in an attempt to persuade mobile phone companies to use the Android as their software platform.

Cole Brodman, chief technology and innovation officer of T-Mobile USA, said that "frankly this device will have mass appeal" especially because of its design and of its functionalities. He also noticed that Americans are not eager to embrace the mobile web technology and that the American market is well behind other markets: "Consumers have a desire to connect, but they haven't found the mobile Internet very compelling," outlining that only 16% of American mobile users go online using their phones.

Moreover, other key-people have stated that the T-Mobile G1 will be able to function on both G3 and older mobile networks, and that it will be delivered with GPS, Wi-Fi and BlueTooth connections.

Ce dernier ne permet pas seulement de retourner des sites internet pertinant vis-à-vis de la recherche, mais il permet également d'afficher un petit article sur la recherche éffectuée comme si il s'agissait d'un article wikipedia.

Par exemple, en effectuant la recherche «Google», on peut voir en haut de la page un bref résumé de l'article, et en dessous une séléction de sites (comme dans google) pertinant pour ce sujet de ce sujet.

En cliquant sur les boutons en dessous de l'article vous faites apparaître l'article en entier avec toujours en dessous la selection de sites.

Comme sur l'encyclopédis wikipédia, vous pouvez éditer vous-même un article afin de partager vos connaissances avec les utilisateurs.

Ainsi cette nouvelle fonction permettra d'indiquer par un point sur une carte google maps, où se trouve l'utilisateur du téléphone.

Pour réaliser cette localisation, google a recensé l'ensemble des adresse des antennes relais des opérateurs. Cette fonction intitulée «My location» fonctionne avec des téléphones munis de systèmes Blackberry, Java, Nokia/Symbian et Windows Mobile.

Sachant que la publicité sur mobile représentera d'ici 2011 un marché de plus de 16 milliards de dollars, le but ultime de ce système est bien entendu d'installer des publicités localisée ou encore de trouver des commerces de proximités via son téléphone cellulaire. Ainsi lorsque le propriétaire d'un téléphone tapera «restaurant» ce sytème pourra afficher l'ensemble des restaurants présant dans le quartier.

La bataille des publicités sur les supports numériques ne fait que commencer.

Instructions:

Ajouter les lignes suivantes à votre typoscript:

#[globalVar = TSFE:field|tx_modulis_ttcontent_class > 0]
 tt_content.stdWrap.dataWrap =  <a name="{field:uid}"></a><div class="{field:tx_modulis_ttcontent_class}">|</div>
 #[global]

Vous pouvez enlever les # pour vous assurer que la classe est ajouté que si le nom de class est remplit.

La balise "" sert a créer un point d'ancrage pour les liens style ancrés.

Ajouter la colonne suivante à la table tt_content:

(vous pouvez aussi le faire avec le kickstarter)

tx_modulis_ttcontent_class (type tinytext)

Ajouter le code suivant au fichier typo3conf/ext_tables.php:

$tempColumns = Array (
         "tx_modulis_ttcontent_class" => Array (
                 "exclude" => 1,
                 "label" => "Class",
                 "config" => Array (
                         "type" => "input",
                         "size" => "30",
                         "default" => "tt_content",
                 )
         ),
);
 
 
t3lib_div::loadTCA("tt_content");
t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns("tt_content",$tempColumns,1);
t3lib_extMgm::addToAllTCAtypes("tt_content","tx_modulis_ttcontent_class;;;;1-1-1");

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8') ;

4) Au debut de votre code html ajouter:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" value="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

5) Dans httpd.conf
