1260459 2012-02-21 02:12:00 Hey Guys

I need a little hand on a project. I am looking for an FTP type program that can automatically retrieve a file from a location on your computer and upload it to a web server for processing. Does anyone know where I could find such a program or know how to make one? It's only 1 file, it's very small. I can do the codework from the web side, but not the PC side. :D

If you need more info just let me know

Cheers

1260461 2012-02-21 05:30:00 If you have ssh access to the web server, using SFTP avoids sending your login details in plain text, as with FTP. fred_fish (15241)

@Fred_fish how would you recommend doing it? Sorry I'm new to desktop clients

If it is just a webhost type deal you may be stuck with ftp.

Either way, write a batch script to execute your (S)FTP commands and call it as required from Scheduled Tasks or such.
