Did not know where else to post.
What are the differences between Filezilla FTP and WinSCP? Why choose one over the other? What does PuTTy buy you? I've used Filezilla for many years and I do not understand if I am missing features, etc.
Thank you

So, using an application from IObit called IObit Toolbox, you can add programs to the toolbox by simple pulling the .exe into the "tools" directory of the toolbox app which is portable by the way, good stuff. By following a simple naming scheme, like dragging sysinternals page defrag and renaming it Suo14_PageDefrag.exe (Suo14=System Utility-Optimization 14 where as Sur would stand for System Utility-Repair).

Hi All,

I m new to the Portable Application. I am using portable application which are given in the site.

Could someone suggest procedure for creating any application to its portable.

Thank you.

Websites opened in Chrome from desktop icons in Windows 7 do not show up in history when a website is opened in Chrome Portable, and websites opened in Chrome Portable do not show in history when a website is opened in Chrome. Is this supposed to happen? Is this also the case with Windows XP?

Apparently, the desktop icons speak with non-portable Chrome only. Is there a way to change this?

Ok, so a while back I purchased what was advertised as a 32 gig SD on Ebay. It turned out NOT to be 32gig even though it appeared to be. It had been formatted in a way that made it appear to be 32 gig but would corrupt the data. Thanks to paypal's buyer protection I got my money back.

Is there any way to find out what the card was originally made to be and properly format it?

Even if it is really a lot smaller I can put it to use. Or should I just pitch it?

Where do the updates go?
After recieving updates, installer kick in. Unable to install,
I'd like to know where updates went so I can copy to drive.:)

Do you know of any portable program to block access to pen drive or external hard drive, look for a good time on the internet and not found any.

I will have to plug the flash drive with Portableapps to an infected computer. How do I protect the flash drive from being infected?
Thank you.

I've pushed an update to Chrome Dev and posted it to the Chrome Portable homepage. As this isn't a supported release really (it's dev branch so basically pre-alpha level software), it doesn't warrant a homepage announcement. However, I have it in the updater so anyone running Chrome Dev and the latest Platform beta will see the update and have it installed.

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on any other ways to approach this. Of course, Chrome Dev is a special outlier case, so it doesn't really apply to much else.

Has anyone created any PortableApps.com "portableapps_wallpaper.bmp" wallpapers for the wallpaper swapper?

I'm sure by now the more creative of you have created some PortableApps.com themed wallpapers for the Wallpaper switcher.

Would any of you like to share?
