The root cause is that VirtualBox does not cascade the file change events on the host to the VM. Guard (on Linux) is expecting to receive notifications via inotify events. Instead, you can have guard poll for events with guard -p, but this can lead to your CPU maxing out, so you can throttle the … Read more
You just have to set UIFileSharingEnabled (Application Supports iTunes file sharing) key in the info plist of your app. Here’s a link for the documentation. Scroll down to the file sharing support part. In the past, it was also necessary to define CFBundleDisplayName (Bundle Display Name), if it wasn’t already there. More details here.
There are multiple ways to do this based on your needs. Use a central file server mounted with fx NFS on the webservers Same as above, but redundant, so if one goes down the other takes over Use some sort of synchronization tool (rsync for example) and host the files locally on the webservers. Then … Read more

SSH is much more tolerant of network security devices like firewalls and things that do NAT. FTP is famously tricky to firewall, and generally requires one end-point to have a real IP addresss (i.e. no NAT). SSH is better at handling NAT. In fact, both ends can be behind NAT which is generally not possible … Read more
I recall a problem like this. I think it was caused by a directory permission somewhere in the path missing read. Check the directory perms are 755 for the path. This error is also returned if the path does not exist.
Sure it can be done. When you’ve set up the local user account on the server add the user account to the “Deny log on locally” and “Deny log on through Terminal Services” user rights assignment. That will prevent anyone from using this user account to log on to the server locally or via TS/RDS … Read more
OK, I have found an answer myself. As this is absolutely not obvious from the docs and HOWTOs and whatever, the reason this thing asks for password is because it cannot map guest user to the owner of the directory being shared. I have NTFS partitions which I need to mount RW so I used … Read more
You can go into computer management (right click my computer, select manage), expand the Shared Folders node and see a list of all shares, connected sessions and open files. For W2K8, you do this in Server Manager instead: Roles -> File Services -> Share and Storage Management; the Shares tab in the center of the … Read more
To facilitate failover schemes, a common technique is to use DNS CNAME records (DNS Aliases) for different machine roles. Then instead of changing the Windows computername of the actual machine name, one can switch a DNS record to point to a new host. This can work on Microsoft Windows machines, but to make it work … Read more
