Help me with a tickling clip section

[The_rocking]

I want to add a new section (link) in my page that refers to a folder that contains clips, I want to call it the vault, but I don't know how to make the hyperlink work or make it point to a folder in webserver, i see a lot of pages that have something like titles "Index of /archives/vidclips" and have a parent directory, I don't know to make those thing because my poor experience in websites, if someone can give me hand with this, it makes more easy for me to put something like that in my page so I only place tickling clips in there and just drag and drop files on it.

I made the changes of the page in front Page with zero experience in that program so I don't get any Idea in how to do those things.
Advices and Ideas are welcome and be very thankfull to me and the tickling society.

checkout that section where is a trunk and tell me the idea in how to place clips in there.

Thank you

Hate to join the whine squad, but,,,

I also get 404, etc....

The_Rocking, did you change the directory structure with something-page ?

Oh, anyway, if/when your page resumes, may I request a short (i.e., a little less than 2 minute) promo clip ? It's the one which had one girl in a black (or at least dark) knee-length skirt and white blouse who was seated at a single occupant study table/desk while another woman in a blue dress was seated on the floor. There was no yelling, screaming, squealing, thrashing, struggling, or any sort of wild stuff in it (which may dissapoint some folks, sorry). In fact, there was almost zero talking at all. I think the room had some sort of warm-glow lighting; maybe it was the film, maybe it was the paint on the walls.

Sorry I don't know names, numbers, dates, etc.

Anyway, it's a great little clip, think you might have it ? (Anybody already have this available somewhere ?)

I am not too sure a to what exactly you are trying to accomplish, but I will try to help.

I see that the Vault link points to http://www.prodigyweb.net.mx/joaquingarciaa/Vault. However, when I click on it, I get an "HTTP 403 (Forbidden)" message. This makes me think that one of the following might be happening.

1) The "Vault" subdirectory does not exist.
2) The "Vault" subdirectory exists but it does not have read permission by all.

If you want to have a link to the contents of a directory but not a web page, the directory should exist under your main page directory and it should have read permission by everyone besides yourself. If that directory does NOT have an index.html file, the web browser will automatically default to show the contents of the directory.

I will not elaborate on web site security much besides this specific advise. Make sure all the directories you create have an index.html file. This way people do not have access to the contents of all your pages. Only allow access to the directory you want people to browse. If they click the parent directory, they should automatically get back to the main page http://www.prodigyweb.net.mx/joaquingarciaa/.

I am sure other people will have other advise to give. I hope this helps.

Bye,

Hey P50, I have the clip that your wanting. Whats your email and I'll send it to ya.

 

[The_rocking]

Ok, this is the the idea KTickler:

I have my website in both server and my PC, the website in my PC lookslike a folder with a little world in it.
I want a subdirectory named vault in my website that i want to link with the new section (old trunk) with tickling clips on that "vault" folder, so every time I want to add more clips on that folder I just want to drag and drop them in order to view them as a webpage, I place files in that directory with a default.htm file on it and then when I click the old trunk link the page loads blank, with no files viewable.

You see is more easy to drag and drop files on that folder on the server and on the subdirectory than hyperlink every single file.
I though it was easy to made, this link gives a better idea of what i want to do in this section of my page. http://josie.duh.org:69/archives/vidclips/

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

And stay tuned for more rare stocking tickling clips KTickler.

Diablo4272001,

I believe that I just sent you E-mail. (Our advanced modern technology being what it is, let's first see if it works in real life, ok ?)

I have a 4-meg limit on my account. Will the file fit ?

Second question is encryption, do you think you/I/we need to use it ?

By the way, thanks.

 

[ktickler]

Thanks for the example link. That clarified what you wanted. 🙂

I think you should be able to do that by just having a read-by-all directory under your main directory with no HTML files in it. Just the video clips. The browser should automatically load all the files in a page with the file names and icons associated with the file types. I have done that in the past and do not remember having any issues.

The only thing I might think could cause you problems is if the web server you use does not allow direct linking.

So, If the the folder where the files will be like the one named "vault" needs to have some attributes that allow thad directory to behave just like the link I send you? or is only the ftp server where is my page that allows that kinds of pages or directories where the files will be?.

 

[ktickler]

First of all, I regret to inform you that your site (http://www.prodigyweb.net.mx/joaquingarciaa/) has been Hacked. I hope you had a backup of your page. The part that stinx is all the time spent to redownload the clips. 🙁

Check with your ISP and let them know you were hacked. Ask them for security measures you can follow to prevent this from happening again. Change your FTP server password, if you can.

Now, to continue our discussion.

Let's say that the account in the FTP server you use to publish your web site is 'joaquingarciaa' and that the directory where you put your files is called 'public_html'. To simplify things, let's say that inside that directory is where you have all your HTML files and images and clips (including the index.html file which is the main page that everybody sees when they open your web site). Hence, all your web page is under '~joaquingarciaa/public_html'.

In order to have the "vault" contents in the following link http://www.prodigyweb.net.mx/joaquingarciaa/Vault, you have to create a directory named 'Vault' under '~joaquingarciaa/public_html', e.g., 'mkdir ~joaquingarciaa/public_html/Vault'. Make sure the read permissions are set right, e.g., 'chmod 755 ~joaquingarciaa/public_html/Vault'. Then, put all the clips you want into the '~joaquingarciaa/public_html/Vault' directory. However, do not put any index.html file in there.

In your main page, put a link to that location, e.g., <a href=http://www.prodigyweb.net.mx/joaquingarciaa/Vault>This is the link to the Vault</a>. When people click of that link, the browser will be directed to the directory. Since there is no index.html file, it will show the contents of the directory.

I hope this helps.

It's not as simple.

Well usually what ktickler told you should work.

However, sometimes, the default settings of your web provider do not allow directory listing. Why?

First, if you forget to put a index.html then your page can be hacked. Well not really hacked, but they see how everything is interlinked and can browse your secret folders.

Second, this is often used by WAREZ groups to make it easier to download files.

The problem is, that you are just like a WAREZ group. You have a lot of huge files which you update often, and which you don't want to re-link.


So, if you want to make that folder work, do the following:

create a text file called .htaccess (the dot is important. It makes it invisible once you upload it. It's also usually invisible to most FTP agents (though not all))

put the following in it:

    Options +Indexes

It might not work however.

There could be two reasons.

1) The administrator of the server did not allow .htaccess files.
2) The administrator of the server changed the name of .htaccess files.

In any case, contact your web provider for the info.


If you want something else, and if your web server supports PHP, I could make you a little program to automatically upload files and generate descriptions, etc.

 

[The_rocking]

That will be good, do you have a program to do it more easily?
That's what i want to do just put files in a folder (tickling clips) without hyperlink each one, better for me and you to get clips this way, it's so tired to put a description in every clipd I upload in my page, and i am not in the mood for making webpages, I just want to share more clips with you the easiest way for both.
But in the meantime I have to place clips like I did before.
Wait this night for more tickling rare and long clips.

Thank you

 

[Powertickle]

Hey, well, if you are looking for merely a directory, craete a simple directory, put a .htaccess file in it with the line Options +Indexes.

See if it works.

It's supposed to make you just a listing of directory then.

If not:
Contact your ISP and ask do they allow .htaccess files. They could be not allowed, or their name can be different on your server.

If still no avail:
Ask if they support PHP or CGI.

I'll try to play with PHP and CGI and write you a short script to update the files as you wish.

They could just try and read the directory, but they also could do more.

Imagine that each time you log into an interface, such as this forum, where you have:

Upload Clip:
Name: _________________
Description: ______________
Size (fills in automatically)
Type: f/f f/m m/f m/m mm/f ff/f etc...
Nudity: none | breasts | full
Tickling area: feet | ypperbody | underarms | other

Browse for file: __________


Delete file:
(list of existing files)

Does this sound nice?

 

[The_rocking]

Is there another way to do it in front page?

Does the .htaccess files needs HTML script I need to write?
you know I know nothing about HTML, the page you see in my site is merly made in front page with it's limitations.

By the way, you like the new format of the page and the clips?😀

 

[Powertickle]

No, just create an empty text file and write "Options +Indexes" in it (without the "s) , and save it by the name of .htaccess in your vault directory.

That might very well do it.

If it doesn't contact your WP and ask them the same thing you are asking here.


I will work shortly on a PHP program for you.

The new format is cool :b:
