Well, the only difference between "server" and "web server" is that the latter is guaranteed to be listening, probably on port 80, to HTTP requests. If you want to avoid CGI (and, I assume, any other web-interface means of transferring files) then you need to know what *other* services the remote server is running. ssh/scp is one possibility, FTP is another. There are others (rsync or WebDAV, for example). It all depends on what's on offer. If you know the server in question will accept an ssh connection, then one simple solution is to call scp (or pscp from the Putty suite if you're on Win32) from the command line to copy the files you want. If you want to do it from within Python, then you could use os.system or os.popen or one of its cousins to do the same. eg, scp my_local_file.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If you only mean: "I know it's theoretically possible to copy files to servers using ssh/scp but I don't about this particular server" then you'll need to determine whether the server in question will accept ssh connections, and whether you have the right to create such a connection. Try the above, and see if it works. TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
