TunnelierPortable v0.1.4.22 available

Submitted by vbap on February 9, 2007 - 12:07am

Hello everyone,

I'm new here, so please be nice Smile

I've created a PAF launcher for a program called Tunnelier (http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier). Tunnelier is commercial software, but can be used freely for personal use.

Tunnelier is a great gui-based SSH/SFTP client. I have used PuTTY in the past, but the user-interface, particularly for setting up SSH tunnels, is cumbersome. Also, I would also need a separate SFTP program (Filezilla or lately WinSCP). I had used tunnelier a few years ago, but found it wasn't portable (or so I thought).

App Launcher

An update and a name change for AutoLauncher4U3.
Added an environment variable option.
This will set an environment variable to point to the drive letter of your usb drive.
You can use this in apps that don't support relative paths in ini or config files as well as shortcuts.
Also changed the name to reflect the app isn't just for U3 drives.
For "regular" USB drive set the autorun.inf to run autolauncher, it will set the environment variable and launch PAM or other apps.

New update, changed the name to App Launcher to avoid confusion.
Added two additional custom app fields.

For all you coders out there, I have come across config file in the NetBeans Directory (\NetBeans\etc\netbeans.config). In there the important parts read as follows:

# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir="[Your JVM user.home Path]"

# default location of J2SE JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome switch
netbeans_jdkhome="[Your JDK Path]"

Now here comes the important part:

Portable Getleft beta available

Hi,

Following the suggestion of a board member, I have made
a portable version of an application of mine.

Getleft is a web site downloader, if you give it an URL it
will try download the complete site according to the options
you set.

It has some limitations though, as it won't download links
embed in JavaScript or Flash.

So far it is only a beta release, but if you would like to
try it out, you can download it at:

I've just posted a pre-release of Miranda IM Portable 0.6.3 for folks to test out. This new release:

- Updates Miranda to 0.6.3
- Adds Vista compatibility
- Packaged in PortableApps Format for easier integration with the Suite
- Improved support for Limited and Guest accounts
- Uses a new method to backup a local Miranda IM's registry settings - the launcher will rename the existing key and then rename it back, rather than saving it to disk. If there is a PC crash, simply running Miranda IM Portable again will restore the original key.
