The IFX Group IPAD-OS File Collection
These tools were designed for use on or with an IPAD-OS firewall/server. The tools that run directly on the IPAD-OS hardware are written in pure DOS for maximum compatibility.
The external tools written to work with the IPAD-OS are designed as native Microsoft® Windows™ applications, so they are compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows versions, run fast and DO NOT require any bulky runtimes like MFC, .NET, VBRUN or external DLL files. This also means they work well with compatibility layers like WINE on other operating systems.
Please note that the IPAD Owners Association, Inc. (IOA) is now actively developing new features for the IPAD-OS based product line. Please visit their web site to find out about all of the new IPAD-OS features.
Sort by date  | Download: Size: Updated: | bcopy.zip 14,471 bytes August 28, 2016 |
There is a problem with some
versions of Microsoft Windows that allows programs to create and
use files larger then 2 Gigabytes, but the copy function built into
Windows Explorer and command prompts reports an error when
attempting to read those files. This program does not care how
large a file is, or where it is located. If Windows can see the
file, this program can copy it. This is a binary copy that retains
all file attributes and time/date stamp information - a true copy.
Fully commented PowerBasic source code is included. Do not use this
program to place files larger than 2 gigabytes on to an IPAD that
is not using the IPAD-OS boot loader or that has an IPAD-OS boot
loader with a build number lower than 4.20.1597.

This is the smallest program I
have ever written. It will reboot a DOS machine from a command
prompt or batch file. On most Windows machines it will just exit
the command prompt window without much fanfare. It is only 5 bytes,
but since most web browsers don't know how to deal with the file in
binary form, it had to be zipped to a file size over 5 times larger.

A Windows command line tool to connect to
almost any FTP server on the Internet and download a single file, a
whole directory of files, or a whole directory tree of files from
the command line or on a scheduled basis. This tool is designed for
automated downloads and supports FTP resume (restart) and a number
of other techniques to make sure the files get through ok. One of
the stronger functions is the ability to move files from an FTP
server to the local drive (so the file is no longer on the server).

Greylisting Exception List Translation Tool
| | Download: Size: Updated: | grey_not.zip 20,109 bytes August 28, 2016 |
The
IPAD 5.5 Greylisting feature can be a powerful tool to detect and
block broken SMTP servers with an incomplete feature set like those
in spam engines and email virus infections. The problem is that
some legitimate mail servers do not work well with Greylisting
technology. This tool will translate the public list of problem
SMTP servers that are known to fail the Greylisting tests into IPAD
format. Complete PowerBasic/CC source code is included.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | ipadchk.zip 90,019 bytes May 07, 2017 |
A plain DOS utility to validate
IPAD-OS configuration files starting with the IPAD.CTL file and
scanning through many of the secondary server and account files.
This version has improvements designed to detect and report more of
the common errors caused by hand editing. If you use anything other
than the IPAD's web manager to create and maintain your control
files, this tool will save you time and frustration by quickly
locating and reporting anything that could potentially cause
problems. Note that long file names are only supported when using
the official IPAD-OS Boot Loader.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | itime.zip 31,773 bytes August 28, 2016 |
This is a tiny tool to set the clock on a
Windows workstation with information from your local IPAD mail
server. This does not need NTP (Network Time Protocol) or SMB/CIFS
to get the time information. Add this program to run from the
scheduler on your workstation to update the clock as often as you
want and you will always have the right time. This works with any
version IPAD, but a newer IPAD-OS mail server with the alternate
SMTP port enabled is suggested for best results.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | minclude.zip 29,650 bytes August 28, 2016 |
A command line
utility to include text files in an IPAD mail authority file, or
almost any other control file that supports comment lines. This
tool retains compatibility with the IPAD Web Manager and the
included file can be edited and re-included without risk of
duplication. This is designed to make your life as an IPAD mail
server administrator much easier. One of the more common IPAD
requests is for the ability to include multiple files into one
large mail authority file while still retaining the ability to use
the IPAD's web management interface to monitor and keep track of
everything. More details about exactly how this tool can make your
life easier is found in the included documentation. Full PowerBasic
source code is included in this distribution.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | netcalc.zip 41,564 bytes August 28, 2016 |
A command line utility to
calculate TCP/IP netmasks. One of the more confusing parts of
creating networks with the TCP/IP protocol is creating a network
mask that correctly defines the size of the network. This tool was
originally written to visually demonstrate how a router views a
netmask and at the same time allow a human to interactively gain
valuable what-if knowledge of their network. This is a
must-have tool for any network engineer.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | optimail.zip 44,936 bytes August 28, 2016 |
OPTIMAIL: Mail directory
compacting tool. This tool addresses a problem called Directory
Extension. Every subdirectory on a disk volume is actually a
special case file exactly the size of one disk cluster (a
collection of disk sectors). There are a finite number of file name
entries each cluster can hold. When more than that number of file
names are put into a subdirectory, DOS will extend the subdirectory
by adding one or more clusters to the directory sufficient to hold
all of the file names. This problem is more pronounced when smaller
cluster sizes are used like FAT32 formatted disk volumes. This tool
recovers and compacts these clusters to improve performance on IPAD
mail servers.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | optipop.zip 86,644 bytes May 09, 2017 |
OptiPOP is an IPAD POP3 mail
storage maintenance and repair tool. This program is designed to be
run directly on the IPAD itself or optionally through any SMB/CIFS
connection (if supported by your OS) to repair, maintain and
compact POP3 mailboxes stored on the latest IPAD version. It
automatically opens locked and multi-state mailboxes. It can
optionally age out old POP3 mail taking up your valuable storage
space and can even find orphan POP3 mailboxes caused by
hand-editing the mail authority file. Fully commented
PowerBasic/DOS source code is included.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | pingpop.zip 20,542 bytes August 28, 2016 |
A Windows console (command
line) utility to open a POP3 mailbox on a server that has
POP-before-SMTP security enabled on a schedule or only once. This
tool has the ability to loop by itself with no need for an external
scheduler or even a batch file. It will also report the number of
message in the POP3 mailbox so other utilities can notify the
appropriate user. Distribution is limited to owners and operators
of IPAD-OS based products. Fully commented PowerBasic/CC source
code is included. Featured download for November 2004.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | pingport.zip 20,215 bytes August 28, 2016 |
This tool is designed to detect the
ability of a server to accept a TCP Connection on a selected port
number. If the server is not able to open a valid TCP port, this
program will return an error number that allows a batch file to
call a notification utility or some other tool to help recover from
the problem. Featured download for January 2005.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | rdns.zip 26,560 bytes August 28, 2016 |
A simple tool to scan a
block of IP addresses for reverse DNS entries. This is very useful
for everyone running servers and providing user connections to make
sure all of your IP addresses have correct reverse DNS. This is
designed on purpose as a single-threaded application that waits for
the DNS timeout on all IP addresses without reverse DNS
information. This insures minimum impact when scanning remote
networks. The fully commented PowerBasic/CC source code is
included.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | skill.zip 34,356 bytes August 28, 2016 |
A Smart Kill Windows utility
to scan the raw SMTP files on an IPAD email server to locate
messages that contain your search text. This is much safer than a
simple find/erase because all parts of the matching messages will
be erased and the correct file locking methods are used. This can
be used to help clean out the email directory from a denial of
service attack or when a virus infected email client bombards your
system. This works through any CIFS/SMB connection to the IPAD and
will not conflict with IPAD email service while it is running.
Fully commented PowerBasic/CC source code is included. Featured
download for May 2005.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | spy_not.zip 126,461 bytes August 28, 2016 |
This is a tool to
translate a public list of known spyware web sites into IPAD format
for including into the BOOT.NAM on your DNS server. The list is
very large (over 12,000 domains) and may cause extra work load on
your IPAD if you have hardware over 5 years old. A DNS list this
large is not compatible with older IPAD versions (5.52 or older)
and can cause the web management interface to crash. It is
important to note that the IFX Group does not maintain the master
list of domain names, we just provide the format conversion tool.
The fully commented PowerBasic/CC source code is included so you can
freely modify to meet exact your needs.

| | Download: Size: Updated: | ten-k.zip 1,000,022 bytes July 26, 2004 |
This is a collection of ten
thousand empty files for testing the condition called directory
extension. Be aware that some versions of Windows are not able to
handle a large number of files in one directory and may crash. If
you are considering a different disk format for your IPAD, this
collection of files can help you find out just how fast your disk
will be. Sometimes FAT16 is faster than FAT32 if the partition size
is small.
