Is your offer still good? If so could you include PSFTP in PuTTY Portable?

Have any of you see this?

Oregon State University has an open source lab!!

I am looking for a directory printer that is open source and hopefully portable although it is not necessary. I found a really good one, Directory Lister, but unfortunately it is shareware. I've used it and really like all the options for output that it had as well as its configurability. I was wondering if there is something available that somebody has used and could recommend.

If this belongs in another forum please feel free to move it.

I was running my Windows 98 Pentium II machine (trust me, it wasn't ready to edit video as well as I'd like) and needed an upgrade to a Vista box. I use WinXP on a very regular basis with no problems whatsoever, but Vista was the huge downer that everyone said it would be.

A contradicted remark in one thread about flash drive speed vs capacity, and another about hardware encryption, made me think I don't know enough about flash drives as hardware.

Can anybody recommend sites that analyze the drives themselves?

ps Also, somewhat trivially, I wondered if having a few apps each on smaller drives would run faster; and then realized what all this reminds me of: the good old VIC 20 & cart-based computing!:]

Yes, I'm having fun yet!:]

I'm a lot more likely to misplace a flashdrive than a desktop computer or laptop, so I got interested in the various security wares different drive makers supply.

Very quickly I found that (at least for one major encryption program) mistakenly yanking the drive prematurely corrupts the secure folder and causes a world of problems. A dumb but easy way to lose vital data.

Also, I wonder if antivirus & firewall programs can do their job properly on files within an encrypted folder. Do they get scanned as they 'emerge'?

G'day!
First time poster, short time lurker, long time user here.
I'm at a public library at the moment and I don't have long on this temporary computer.
Just a quick question here.
I love all the portable applications available and would like to get each and every single one of them.
I like the Portable Apps Standard Suite but I am somewhat disgruntled by the fact that it does not include all other applications like the ones listed here (https://portableapps.com/apps).

There is an issue with fancy "superbar" feature on windows 7.
I use Windows 7 build 7000 (beta 1).
Launcher and application showing as two buttons instead of one.

Is it possible to fix this in a future versions of launcher?

Hi,

I have a 8GB Kingston USB Stick but: wth if i loose the stick, forget it inside the workplace or if it get's stolen? Everyone can see my very sensitive data!

So here is my question: Do you know a USB Stick that asks for a Master Password if I stick it inside a foreign Computer? I know there are existing these Sandisk U3 Sticks, what exactly do they do? Maybe sb knows other solutions.

Happy Ney Year!
