lingo-l FTP via Director

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of an Xtra that would aid in the FTPing of a file. Basically, the app I'm working on will save out a .txt file that will have to be FTP'd to a specified server. I'd love to simplify the process by not only saving out the .txt file, but having it

Doesn't even sound like you need ftp if it's only a text file. I'd create a php page which would save teh file for me, and use director's postnettext to send the text up to the server. Just my thoughts. Otherwise directxtras.com -- directftp xtra. [To remove yourself from this list, or to

Hi Mike, One I know of is DirectFTP http://www.directxtras.com/DFTP_home.asp?UUID=1186729 I haven't used it so can't vouch for it though. Just a thought, as it's only text could you use postNetText in conjunction with a php/cgi script to do what you need? regards Brad Hi all, I was wondering

Do you even need a text file? Maybe it would be handier to stuff the whole thing into a database. Exactly the intent! Good call ;) I'm writing this app for a Sys-Admin...she will write a script that parses the data into her database. The reason for the .txt file is that the information

You don't need to get a mac, just a different version of Windows. Windows 2000 is not a good platform to use for multimedia in general, because it wasn't created for that purpose. Get a copy of Win 98 Second Edition if you want a stable Windows machine (XP might work as well, but I haven't used

You could run Photoshop and Director together without a performance hit if you have a lot of RAM; what I like about Windows (OS X supposedly has dynamic memory allocation as well) is that you never get out of memory errors simply because you opened a 200 MB TIFF and don't have enough RAM

Sharon - From your earlier post of your code, I notice that you're setting the color of the sprite over and over and over and well you get the idea. If you make this color change occur only when necessary (like don't do it when it's the right color already) then your cursor will blink again..
