How To Redirect Webpage

April 18th, 2009 1 comment

In this post, I am going to explain one of the two simple ways to redirect a webpage to another webpage.

Client Side Redirect (carried out by your browser)
You can create a webpage that instructs the browser to redirect a webpage to another after certain time delay. The time delay is purely optional.
This is achieved using the meta refresh command which is to be placed within the head tags. Here’s the general syntax :

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N; URL=destination_webpage_address">
</head>

The browser redirects the user from the current page to the destination webpage address specified in the “URL” attribute of the meta tag after a time delay of N seconds. Read more…

Airtel Blackout Days

April 16th, 2009 3 comments

Airtel has the best network coverage but is too expensive for me. Why am I not changing the service provider and switch to BSNL ? For two reasons -

  • I live in remote area where there is no proper network coverage from other providers.
  • Don’t want to change my number. I am still one of those waiting for Mobile Number Portability to come to India.

What are Blackout Days ?
The following festival days have been specified as “Black Out” days when all P2P SMS will be charged at base price. That means, if you have any free message offers, tricks, free message packs etc, it wouldn’t work on these days and you’ll be charged the base price as per your plan. This applicable to Voice SMS too.

Automate FTP Upload Using Commandline

April 16th, 2009 No comments

Here’s an an example. Consider that you need to automate uploading any file(s) to your site, say prashanthpai.com. You’ll require this if you need to update the same file(s) very frequently.

  1. Open notepad and type the following and save it as “upload.ftp“. You can save it with any name and any extension. Don’t save it as txt file. It works perfectly but others can open and see the ftp username and password easily.

    open prashanthpai.com
    username
    password
    cd public_html/downloads
    put C:MySitego.exe
    bye

    • First line will make connection to ftp server at prashanthpai.com
    • Don’t forget to replace prashanthpai.com with your site name or IP address.
    • Enter you ftp username and password in second and third line respectively.
