Ecommerce InformationThe Better Simple Computer code For The Busy Webmaster
by:
T. O' Donnell
Here are a few programs I can't do without. They're free, and do being a webmaster more easier.
CGI-Telnet http://www.rohitab.com/cgiscripts/cgitelnet.html
A cgi script that allows you to run commands on your server, even as if your web host won't give you telnet access. Likewise nice for effort at files generated by else scripts that are closely-held by user 'nobody', instead of your username. Ever tried deleting them? Well, now you can.
AXS Visitant Following System http://www.xav.com/
A really fine hit counter. Fairly simple to set up, if you use footer files on your site. Gives elaborated
information. More better than the stats computer code that came with your web-hosting account.
Swap.pl
A Perl text replacer script. Handy if you're not familiar with Unix operating system commands. Do sitewide changes in seconds. The innovational author's site doesn't list it any more. Can still be found via a search engine (hint, hint).
FTP Individual http://www.ftpx.com
The charm of this computer code is that it looks a lot like the Windows shell, and thus does FTP'ing a little less daunting for the novice webmaster.
Putty Telnet/SSH Client http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
A simple-looking, but sophisticated, computer code package telnet and SSH client. Can be run from a floppy disk. Useful for the mobile webmaster.
Email Remover 2.4
Not presently
accessible from the author's website, but can be found by Googling for a file named 'eremov24.zip'. This is an email account checker. It can be run from a floppy disk and can check multiple email accounts. Allows you to highlight spam and delete it, and transfer
emails if need be. WARNING: It has a bug. Do not change the order of the emails in the computer code window before deleting; you'll end up deleting the wrong ones.
RFTP 32 Version 0.99
Again, not presently
accessible from the author's website. This is a self-contained FTP client that can be, you guessed it, run from a floppy disk. Search about for a file named 'rftp.exe'.
If you don't see a pattern emerging, then let me elucidate: the last three programs can all be run from the same floppy disk. You can leave your laptop computer at home, and activity on your your site from net
cafes.
The only thing left would-be be a Applications programme
Mark up
editor that you can run from a floppy disk; that would-be be asking for a lot. However, the Mambo content management system http://www.mambo.com comes with one pre-installed. There's likewise a Applications programme
plugin for the journal
computer code WordPress http://wordpress.org/.
Either is a useful addition to any website. You can support it updated spell on the road.
