Constantly updated page

[Nija]

So, what I want to do is basiclly have a file on my local harddrive that can be uploaded to my webpage every 10 hours. I was thinking maybe an FTP program, left open, would do it, but I can't seem to find one that will do it under a time delay.

The reason I want to do it, is extremely selfish. I whenever I find something I want, I want to be able to put into this file, and then direct it to loved ones whenever they want to be nice and buy me cool stuff.

Can someone recommend something that may get me started in the correct direction?

Thanks In Advance

Come on, Nija, you're somewhat of a linux guy, right?

Just set up a simple cronjob. :)

I run linux, doesn't mean i know how to use most of it i.e. the commandline :P

Besides, I kind of wanted to do this on my XP machine, although I'd be more than willing to do it on the linux machine, if i know how...

first one that says 'RTFM' will get my xlative-laced butthole in their face :D

OK, so if you want to do this with a WinXP box, you could use the Task Scheduler to execute a batch file (upload_my_poo.bat) every ten hours. You could then include a simple FTP command to upload the file to your webpage. Something like this (modify for your purposes of course):


open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
login
password
hash

lcd c:\webpage\poo.html
cd \\public_html\\poo
prompt
put poo.html

quit

And you say this as if it's a bad thing... :gle:

Why don't you just run a small webserver on that comp? It would be a lot easier... unless you have a slow ul like me :(
