Quick Way to Detect the iFolder Version
This cool tip shows a quick way to find out the iFolder version remotely.
Problem
If you are upgrading the existing iFolder servers or involved in testing iFolder in your lab, you need to know the iFolder version. Currently, you have to log on to iFolder or locally visit the particular lab machine to find out its version. Here I will show you a quick way to do the same.
Solution
The iFolder web server has a file called "about.html" that displays the current version information. This file can be directly accessed from your browser without authenticating to the iFolder.
Assume that you have iFolder running on the remote machine with IP address as 192.168.0.100. To check its version, open your browser and browse to the following location:
http://192.168.0.100/html/About.html
This is good for single machine, but when you have to scan the entire range of machines it is not easy. Hence I have automated it by writing a perl script that is published at the following location:

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
