brett Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 PS !Don't stay in whole day, but get some air !The weather is fabulous !ha...i have to i'm at school But with the FTP you are saying i should make the bot download whatever files are in the FTP, the delete them after they are on my harddrive at home, that way i can check my FTP at a remote computer to make sure the bot received it, then with the RUN Command i programmed into the bot i can just run it. -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Well, not exactly what I said, but that's also a way of doing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Helge....what is a good, not too small space, but easy to get into with autoit FTP Free Host??do you know of any? -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekster Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 This is easier because :You don't have to set up a FTP-server on the script-machine You can just enter : "ftp.myfreewebspace.com" in your internet browser You can control the script-machine from anywhere, because no software is needed !I've already used this way of controlling my computer at a LAN,and it is a very simple way of doing it !I can control it from anywhere and i don't need software. From my school I can open notepad.exe and type some AutoIt code. Then, I open IE and type ftp://user@my_IP/Run_Script into the address bar. Finally, I drag the file over.

Helge Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 (edited) Pekster : Sorry...then we're thinking of the same thing.. Brett : I've haven't used too many webspace-providers, but I'm currently using www.home.no...Might be a problem to set up configure an account if you don't got any Norwegian-skills..I can gladly set up an account for you if you wan't me to..Just PM me !

emmanuel Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I can control it from anywhere and i don't need software.well, really, you do need software, the FTP server on your home machine, which means open ports on your firewall and possible vulnerabilities in your security... heh, not that I haven't done that from time to time myself, but with Viruses being as crafty as they are nowadays, I don't even leave my gaming ports open all the time on my firewall at home, I just open them when I'm using them. I'd much rather leave the responsability of maintaining a secure FTP server with a ISP or hosting company of some sort, and just setup my home machine to leach the file when needed...oh, and for only having it run something once? why not just write scripts to create a file when they run, and check for that file, if it's there, it doesn't run... or just add a line to a text file and check for that line, that'd also give you a log of what you've run remotely...

Helge Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 well, really, you do need software, the FTP server on your home machineActually I was thinking the same thing, but when pekster said that he didn't I started to wonder..Anyway, I'm still voting for the webspace-provider-way of doing it..And for the "just-run-this-once"-security-system-thing on the bot, I've alreadythought of a way of doing that...

SlimShady Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Won't Mcafee or Norton stop that?McAfee and Norton can't stop hackers from entering the open port.That's why I created my script to download & run using a non-direct connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Does anybody here besides me even have aol instant messenger? it seems like more people have MSN or ICQ -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I use both at work. AOL seems to have pretty bad servers if you are not on AOL. It frequently disconnects you. If you use AOL's browser, it rarely lets you know, you just miss the tells. AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 well if u use a different ISP but use AIM it works fine -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yea, I use AIM, or AOLIM, or AIM/ICQ. Yea it is free. If you read some of the boards, you will find that AOL has frequent disconnects. If you are actively chatting it is usually fine, but if you leave it in the backround, you might find a few people ask you why you were ignoring thier tells. If you don't rely on recieving every message, it is not a bad service. Personally MSN works a lot better, but there are also a few dozen other ones, Jabber, Yahoo, IRC, Novel groupwise, etc. AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.

brett Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 MSN...like the one that comes with windows right? well if thats the one ur talking about .... hell ya thats 10 times nicer than AIM or AOL, but all my friends use AOL -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 check out Trillian or Gaim, or one of the multi-messengers. You can set up autoit to reconnect you if you get disconnected. Also you can use one program for all the protocols. AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
