Re: How can I auto upload a file to the server?

Hi John, Yops you are very right, this is only a few lines of visual basic or java code. John W. Holmes wrote:

The only part i am having trouble with is making the remote script automatically look into the local computer's hard drive and grab the .txt file.

The problem with the code above is the path to the file does not show up in the <input type='file'>, and the user would still need to click on the 'submit button' to upload the file.

You're out of luck - for security reasons, the file input widget is intentionally resistant to scripting/styling.

Like I said, find another method. Try writing a batch file that will FTP them to your server and have a cron script process them.
