RE: Writing a file to another computer on the LAN?
ct In terms of long-term reliability, relying on other programs can create issues of incompatibility with parameters or output which are also out of your control but it does save a lot of time if you dont script it yourself. Like i now know with my NT tools, that's just delaying the innevitable need to write a real rev-networking protocol. Alas without threading, it's not going to be "clean" at some point unless you use a shell program that can deliver correctly or with the right features (xxxcopy, . Wouldn't compileIt for RunRev be a good idea now? ;) And now what? 4 days of intense scripting into taoo. In the TAOO menu for this weekend theres a hint of Roast of a network object manager, with a side dish of network object browser, network master and template and agent bathing in a sauce of juicy objects and GUI imbricated categories and finely grained verbs. ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sims > Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 06:37 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: Writing a file to another computer on the LAN? > > At 1:38 AM +0200 5/5/05, Malte Brill wrote: > >Anyone an idea/link to a tutorial on how to set up an FTP > server on Mac Os X? > > > Google using "setting up ftp server on OS X" gave me the following: > > http://www.creativemac.com/2002/09_sep/tutorials/ftposx0209242.htm > > http://www.atpm.com/8.12/networking.shtml > > http://home.earthlink.net/~dgreuel/howto.html > > hth > sims > ___ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Thanks Sarah! (Did I mention I am dumb before? ) I like the applescript variant. This will simplify things a lot... Cheers, Malte ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Writing a file to another computer on the LAN?
Thanks for your replys. Even though the tips for Win are useful they don´t really help at the moment, as I need to use a Mac with OsX. I´ll bookmark them anyway, just in case. ;-) The suggestion by Alex to set up FTP sounds good, but I have no idea how to do it. A quick goole search leads me to nowhere. Anyone an idea/link to a tutorial on how to set up an FTP server on Mac Os X? Setting up an FTP server on Mac OS X is really complicated... Go to the sharing system prefs and check "FTP Access" :-) Take a note of the address that is then shown at the bottom of the window and that's what you can use to log in. However, I just use personal file sharing, with a Rev script like this using AppleScript to connect: tAddress is the IP address of the remote computer tUser is the name of a valid user on that remote computer who is allowed to log in tPass is their password put "mount volume " & quote & "afp://" & tAddress & "/" & tUser & quote & \ " on server " & quote & tAddress & quote & " as user name " \ & quote & tUser & quote & " with password " & quote & tPass & quote into tScript do tScript as AppleScript Once you have done this, the remote computer's user folder appears on your desktop as an external drive and you can read & write using the URL commands.

Re: Writing a file to another computer on the LAN?
Hi Malte, I would recommend creating a shared folder on the 'networked' drive, then trying to 'drag/drop' a file from your computer to it to make sure it works. If it does, then you can map it to a drive letter, and simply use the put URL form: put URL "file:C:/test.txt" into URL "file:X:/test.txt" HTH, Chipp Malte Brill wrote: Hi list, I´m new to all this Networking stuff, so please be patient. ;-) What I want to do is create a set of folders and files on another computer connected to a small LAN.

How do I go about this? I configured my router to assign a static IP to one of the computers (running OsX). I now can get files from library/webserver by using get URL "http://staticIPAdd/test.txt"; but I can´t use put "blah" into URL "http://staticIP/test.txt"; ->Error 405 Method not allowed How do I go about this? How can I write text to a file on the other machine? Can I write to a different folderthan library/webserver? Thanks a lot! There are lots of options probably too many :-) 1. Change your webserver to allow "http put" operations. Most webservers disallow this, and will default to disallowing it, but you can change the config to allow it. It's generally disallowed because it opens a security hole by allowing other people to write to your webserver - but if this server is simply serving an internal network for some app, not open to the wide, dangerous, world that could be OK. Google for "xxx allow http put" where xxx is your webserver, and you'll find instructions - especially if xxx == Apache. 2. Export and mount files systems, and access them through that. 3. Run a FTP server on the server, and use put URL "ftp://"; etc. and many, many others. -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
