Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the tip. I was aware that LiveCode does not do SFTP. I had to get my Mac to start running regular FTP to work with it. I am using a separate account.

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Greg, Here's how I submit data using the Put URL approach... *put *DataToBeSaved into URL (ftp://username:passw...@ftp.sitename.com/filename.txt;) *If* the result is not empty *then* hide field wait answer the result CR Oops! There was a problem saving your response. Please wait a minute and try again. *exit* mouseup *end* if You can also read back the data that you just saved... *get *URL (http://www.sitename.com/filename.txt;) *put *it into tData *answer *Your data has been stored on the server and then retrieved. CR It looks like this: CRCR the last line of tData Cheers, Mark -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Confirming-an-FTP-Upload-tp4164699p4165561.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Hi Mark, Much appreciated! Just the kind of thing I was looking for.

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Stephen, That's true, and I probably should have mentioned that. For my purposes, it's irrelevant, because my research data (indeed the entire site) is all just a bunch of meaningless numbers that nobody would have any interest in. But for the rest of you out in the real world, caveat emptor. By the way, to actually send a file, you might try this: on mouseUp answer file Please choose a file to get: get URL (file: it) put it into URL (address goes here) if the result is not empty then answer oops exit mouseup end if end mouseUp -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Confirming-an-FTP-Upload-tp4164699p4165852.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Actually, Stephen, could you elaborate on the special ftp space that is not the website. I'm a little unclear on the distinction.

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Just a method to get the uploads (and exposed password/user) to a place that isn't your public website. Most web providers will allow unlimited or many FTP accounts, and you can use completely different user/passwords. Some providers (not On-Rev) will allow an account to have multiple users that can own websites and/or ftp sites. Then I give that site a sub-domain name and use that for uploads. There are also ways to do uploads safely that involve using server-side PHP or Livecode solutions which have been discussed here before. Many examples abound for that.
