Andu My understanding of this is: IIS and other servers don't support the PUT feature. They support POST and GET, but custom headers are typically written to tell the server what MIME type etc.. FTP gets around this and is easier to use but less secure. Currently, RR uses the PUT mode of sending files via http to servers.
I'm talking about some things I don't fully understand, but this is how it was explained to me. I tried the put command and the server couldn't recognize nor do anything with it. -Chipp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of andu Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 5:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: putting a file to a web server Chipp Walters wrote: > > Good idea, but I don't want to have to deal with all the permission settings > for each and every directory I want to upload to.

I don't get it, if you don't have the write to access a directory, what is the way to put files in it short of asking the administrator to do it for you. One assumes that if you use a web hosting service you do have rights to access any directories within your domain either via ftp or http if the web server supports uploads. > > -Chipp > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of andu > Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: putting a file to a web server > > Chipp Walters wrote: > > > > I tried: > > > > put url "file:c:\test.txt" into url "http://myserver.com/test.txt" > > > > to put a file on my server and it doesn't work.
