Okay....with my euphoria site, I've minimized the amount of work I need to do (in other words, I do things the lazy way =) by using a heavily edited version of doc.ex html parser program, and a batch file to do all the dirty work....make the .htm files from the .htx files, copy the files to a new dir, and upload them automatically, using ftp.exe My little idea, is to create something like that with an auto ftp upload feature built in. I'd love to try to take on the project myself, but writing some kind of ftp program in Euphoria is beyond me. Anyways, just an idea, Greg -- Greg Phillips i.shoot at rednecks.com http://euphoria.server101.com -- Useless fact of the day: Polar bears are left handed.

That parser takes a directory, sets a few variables based upon that directory (it will set one to the contents, if it exists, of info.txt) etc. which can be used by a template. The reason behind this too, was completely lazyness. I can now simply drop an .url out of 'Favorites' into a directory, run webgen.ex and im done adding a new link. Automatic uploading was another thing I would love to see happen. But the reason I made that proggie was 1 - Im lazy 2 - I wanted to be able to update my site often without too much hassle. Maybe afterwards I'll look into it. Or any of the EuServer ppl wants to tackle it. Otherwise when I *try* it, i'll keep generic enough for other apps and programs (like yours) to be able to use it. >My little idea, is to create something like that with an auto ftp upload >feature built in.

I think I learned the most from those projects that were in my eyes way beyond my scope as well. And allthough you never finish them, you usually come a long way, and sometimes (accidents happen all the way. What I mean is, there are a lot of resources out there. If you have the time, you might just wanne try it, to see if you can do it yourself. Ralf

It's called EUFTP. Here's a direct link to download it: ftp://ftp27.pair.com/pub/daber/euftp01.zip I'm sure you'll be able to understand what it does and how to modify it to upload or download whatever you want.

Thanks! Oh, I think I know the answer to this question, but if it's a console app, that uses a windows .dll, it has to be interpreted using exw, right?

Thanks! The implementation might be messy (was my first win32 app), but the concept is very simple. All the work (establishing connection, transfering files, etc) is held by the external functions in wininet.dll. At microsoft's workshop website is a complete reference to the wininet routines. If you need assitance please email me, I'll be glad to help. >Oh, I think I know the answer to this question, but if it's a console app, >that uses a windows .dll, it has to be interpreted using exw, right? Yes. In fact, exw.exe is a console application it self. A WIN32 application will only become "windowed" if you explicitly create a window (by yourself, with win32lib, or with VE).
