An approach like this is good for small files and fast networks. Having the file transfer within a synchronous HTTP request/response can be a problem when the time it takes to transfer the file is long.
On Linux you have normal Unix job control, so it's easy to put the transfer job into the background. You will probably need to call an intermediate script from Witango that calls the job you want in the background (using "&".) Unless your intermediate script starts with "#!/bin/sh" or another interpreter, there won't be any shell involved to do job control. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Gonick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 6:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Witango-Talk: Command line or COM object FTP? Hi Everyone, I need to dynamically send files over the Internet via FTP from Witango. I suspect that the easiest way to do this is with some command line FTP program that I run as an external action. This FTP program would have to be able to take multiple commands this way to set up the transfer. It may also be possible to use an FTP COM object that is compatible with Witango 5.5 if it exists. Does anyone have any experience with this?
