Enable-SPFeature : A list, survey, discussion board, or document library with the specified title already exists in this Web site.

SharePoint 2010:

Today to update a list definition, I manually deleted a list, then disable and then enable the feature trying to recreate the list, but I got weird error:

"Field name already exists. The name used for this field is already used by another field in the list. Select another name and try again."

Investigation showed this error info did not make sense. Suddenly the error info changed to:

"Enable-SPFeature : A list, survey, discussion board, or document library with the specified title already exists in this Web site...."

In one word, I was no longer able to create the list using this feature.

SharePoint Manager showed: the Alert list was really deleted but its ROOTFOLDER was still left there - weird! I deleted this folder, all errors are gone!



Thanks to this link which enlightened me a bit: http://blog.repsaj.nl/index.php/2010/04/sp2010-error-activating-sharepoint-server-publishing-infrastructure/

Use GnuPG Tools or C# Code for PGP Encryption and Signature

For PGP encryption and signature, usually we use PGP command line tools for test purpose and finally use C# application for production. Mine is a Net Core 2.0 console application using NuGet package PgpCore,  https://github.com/mattosaurus/PgpCore. PgpCore is based on BouncyCastle.NetCore which supports the standard OpenPGP keys. Here w use the popular GnuPG (GPG) tools to generate OpenPGP key pair. Download and Install GPG for Windows Download from  https://gpg4win.org/download.html . By default the installation will create two folders (here we use command line tools only): Gpg4Win UI (Kleopatra): C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win Command line tools: C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin Generate a GPG Key Pair For GnuPG 2.2.1 and above:     C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin> gpg --full-generate-key For old versions of GnuPG:     C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin> gpg --gen-key Common GPG Commands List public keys: gpg --list-key or gpg -k List private keys: gpg

Confusing Concepts about SFTP: SSH2 vs OpenSSH

Credit and copied from https://dada.tw/2008/01/03/70/ Terminology: SSH Protocols and Products SSH A generic term referring to SSH protocols or software products. SSH-1 The SSH protocol, Version 1. This protocol went through several revisions, of which 1.3 and 1.5 are the best known, and we will write SSH-1.3 and SSH-1.5 should the distinction be necessary. SSH-2 The SSH protocol, Version 2, as defined by several draft standards documents of the IETF SECSH working group. SSH1 Tatu Ylönen's software implementing the SSH-1 protocol; the original SSH.
