Re: More FTP problems

I see this was just hashed over some, but does not really answer my problem I now face. I have software to create graphics I use on my website for weather forecasting. It also uses scripts too, so the graphics can be made and posted directly to my website. I am wondering how should I write the script so it will post the graphics to my htdocs folder in c-drive?

The path is: c:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\charts-graphics\image.gif

I have WS_FTP client, so should ftp be possible, how do I write the script to get into the server. Any information would be most helpful.

*Just a thought* Considering FTP doesn't shake hands with Abyss shouldn't your FTP server then act alone? Isn't their someway of telling your FTP about the folder *charts-graphics* even in an alias kind of way? *Just a thought*

Same goes for uploading through FTP direct to your htdocs folder... Good luck :)

Hi again Vic:

Well, I never really attempted to tell the ftp client any "alias" folder names before, so I would not know. But I believe it should operate seperate if it don't work with Abyss. :?

What I am trying to do is write a script which the program Digital Atmosphere will run, that will upload the charts to Abyss on my c-drive. I am lost here. Please help.

Many ftp servers have the possibilities to add a "virtual" directory to the root directory of an ftp account. This virtual directory (e.g. /charts) should then map to your charts real directory. Same as the alias functionality in Abyss.

Okay, I understand thus far. But how does this answer my question which is how to write the script to accomplish this for me? :)

Well, a script can be written in many languages... you must decide what scripting language make most sense in your environment. When you know what scripting language to use, you can either try to search for a solution on the many search-engines out there... or you can learn the language yourself, which has many advantages if you later want to expand the functionality. :)
