Thanks, Sarah, To complicate this I will be writing these files from within an LC app from different clients computers so that each clients app will create (if not present) a folder for them and then write a prefs text file, a text file and some images.

Thank you for looking into this for me. -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com [email protected] On May 1, 2011, at 5:11 AM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: > Tom, you cannot write directly to a server. > You can upload a file using your FTP login details. > But the best solution for your case is to have an irev file on the server > that you can call using http://....
