Upload a file chosen from autoit to a site


Recommended Posts

Hello,

    I've started a project to help someone with their website (Basic file storage site) and I thought it would be nice to have the ability to upload from using a program as an alternative to going to the website itself and uploading whatever it is their uploading (limited to 5mbs).

    My plan was to use WinHTTP but some examples I've seen either only do images or can't press buttons so I think it would be better to have cURL but has anyone made a wrapper for it to work with autoIT? My question may sound stupid but I have never used WinHTTP or cURL but was told that I might be able to use them for this application.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

CheeseBiscuit,

From various indicators you and seem to be one and the same person - or am I mistaken? :huh:

If you are, and as multiple accounts are not permitted here, which account would you like to keep? I can merge the 2 so you would lose nothing in the process - other than a double account. ;)

No I'm CheeseBiscuit.. I'm sure you can check IPs right? While I have another account here I haven't been able to get to it for some time (I think it only had 50 posts or so)

Edit: Yes I think thats me because I remember a post date question..I guess that means this i smy third account.. Sorry can you merge them?

@billo

Well I don't think it would be efficient to have an FTP username and password in the application, thinking of the havoc someone could do to the server if he got hold of it.

CheeseBiscuit,

ChocolateBananas is no more. :)

Can you give me a hint as to the display name of this third account - "I think it only had 50 posts or so" is not a lot of help! :D

I checked but couldn't find it, had something to do with snails.. Sorry all I can give you right now, going to check and see if I have it in a .txt somewhere deep in my backup drive :P

@billo

    I'm not very experienced with doing that but I heard its pretty simple. I will try that and get back here to tell you my results. Thanks!

You can setup a folder on your server and give it the permissions and limitations you require, most web service providers have a web based app that helps with this(including the CHMOD part).

Then setup your script to only use this folder for transfers.

Good luck!
