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.

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?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
