SharePoint Day to Day

Setup of a SFTP server is much more complicated than FTPS. To have a full featured SFTP server, OpenSSH seems to be  the only option. The original OpenSSH is for Unix only.  Fortunately Win32 OpenSSH was  recently released by Microsoft though for testing only. Here I use SFTPServer  as SSH Server while SFTPClient as SSH client. 1. Server side Installation C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH>net start sshd https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/Install-Win32-OpenSSH This tutorials works. Note 1. Generation and Use of Host Keys Host keys are generated by .\ssh-keygen.exe -A. Host key are stord in  C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH on server. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ssh-keygen.1.html -A For each of the key types (rsa1, rsa, dsa, ecdsa and ed25519) for which host keys do not exist, generate the host keys with the default key file path, an empty passphrase, default bits for the ke...

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.

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/
