AnyPortal Site Manager
Freeware web site management tool from the ANDMORE Companies

Out on the road and need to quickly "tweak" one of the pages on your web site? Find a typo while surfing your site and want to fix it while you still remember?

AnyPortal Site Manager is a web site support tool that lets you view the directory structure of your web site and then add, change or delete files using only your Internet browser. (AnyPortal Site Manager is exclusively for use on web sites based on Microsoft's Active Server Pages technology.)

You don't need a text editor or ftp client. You don't need FrontPage. You certainly don't need Visual InterDev.

This powerful application has a one file footprint. AnyPortal Site Manager is a single Active Server Pages document (siteman.asp) that you copy into the root folder of any ASP web site. (Just one page --- no graphics, no helper files, no configuration --- copy it and you're set to go!) Once loaded, you use AnyPortal Site Manager like you would any ASP page. Just type in the URL and start clicking!

Anyportal Site Manager also allows you to start and run ".VBS" or ".BAT" files stored on your web server. Just use Anyportal Site Manager to find the executable ".VBS" or ".BAT" file and click on it! You're running a remote job! (To run ".VBS" files, Microsoft's Windows Script Host be installed and operating on the web server.)

FAQ

  • What does AnyPortal Site Manager do?

    AnyPortal Site Manager displays the directory structure of your web site (somewhat like Windows Explorer). While browsing the directory you can add new TXT, HTML or ASP files, delete any file, and get a code listing of any TXT, HTML or ASP file. Also, you can change the text in any TXT, HTML or ASP file. You can edit existing code or write new ASP or HTML files all from your browser without any additional software.

    AnyPortal Site Manager can load graphics and other non-text data to the web site using SAFILE-UP or the script upload class available from Stardeveloper.com. AnyPortal Site Manager can also create and delete folders.

  • Is AnyPortal Site Manager a new development environment?

    No. You should continue to use your existing development tools. But AnyPortal Site Manager can help solve many of your web site support problems.

  • How much does AnyPortal Site Manager cost?

    Nothing. Nada. Zero. It's freeware. You can download a copy from this web site at no charge.

  • Can I make copies of the AnyPortal Site Manager program?

    Sure. Just be sure that you include the copyright notice. AnyPortal Site Manager is freeware, but it's not in the public domain. It's still copyrighted software and you must include the copyright notice.

  • Can I change the AnyPortal Site Manager program?

    Sure. Just be sure that you continue to include the copyright notice.

  • How secure is AnyPortal Site Manager?

    AnyPortal Site Manager uses either of two different security methods:

    1. Windows Login

      The user is requested enter a Windows login username and password. Once authenticated, the user is allowed access.

      When using the WIndows login security method, AnyPortal Site Manager does its job running as the authenticated user. You'll need to be sure that the user has the right permissions to add, edit or delete files and folders on the web server.



    2. Password/Cookie

      The user is requested to type a password, which is compared to a single stored password. If the two passwords match, a cookie is set and the user is allowed access.

      When using password/cookie security, AnyPortal Site Manager does its job running as the same user as IIS. You'll need to be sure that the web site folders and files have the right permissions to allow AnyPortal Site Manager to do what it does.

    Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
    Permission denied
    /siteman.asp, line xxx
    
    If you see this error, your Windows login permissions need to be changed.

    NOTE: Every site has its own security concerns, you also may want to add your own security methods.

  • What's the password?

    AnyPortal Site Manager is delivered with the password/cookie feature disabled (set to "NULL"). You'll need to change the password to something else (anything else!) in order to use the password/cookie security method.

  • How do I enable or change the password?

    You can enable or change the password at any time (using AnyPortal Site Manager). Since you're using AnyPortal Site Manager to "tweak" code, you shouldn't have any trouble finding the password in the AnyPortal Site Manager program. It's the line (probably line 47) that says:

    gblPassword = NULL 'your password here 

    Edit the line to include your password. For example:

    gblPassword = "foobar" 'your password here 

  • How do I install AnyPortal Site Manager?

    Three steps:

    1. Unzip the "siteman.zip" download file. You'll get a new file "siteman.asp."
    2. Transfer the "siteman.asp" file to your web site's root directory using FTP or your normal web publishing tool. (Anything but MS FrontPage! FrontPage may corrupt the HTML in the program.)
    3. Run the page by typing its URL using your web browser.


  • How do I edit a page?

    The interface is tight (sorry, I just can't use the word "cryptic") so there's no room for a big edit button for every file. Click on the icon (usually a character) to the left of the file name.

  • What's a "one-file footprint?"

    This powerful application is complete in a single Active Server Page (ASP) file. There are no images to load. There are no components to install. Just load this page on your web server and start using it.

    It's just as easy to un-install: delete the file and it's off your server.

  • What about that Linux (PHP) version that's floating around?

    I don't have anything to do with it: it ain't my code! I wish they'd call it something else, but it's not under my control. (Hey, I don't have an international intellectual property attorney on staff.)

    It's buggy. It has a really major security flaw. I don't endorse it or recommend it, but it is available on-line at http://nger.org/anyportal.

  • I can run remote jobs on the web server?

    Yes. AnyPortal Site Manager will start ".VBS" or ".BAT" files that are saved on the web server, running a job on the server with just a few browser clicks. This is a powerful feature, be sure that your web site security is enabled to a satisfactory level.
