If what you need to do is monitor the box and upload images without any heavy duty web application for configuration etc, I'll go with netcat to execute the utilities and pipe the output to the connection and wget/curl/socat in conjunction with it to fetch/ images files from your repository. If your access is security sensitive and worries about password going in clear text, then use a webserver like boa or GoAhead. IMHO, fetching the images using these utilities on the box is a better approach than trying to upload an image using http(s). Further, these utilities support retries/ resumes which will be useful in times of flaky access. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
