WRITING TO REMOTE FILE

Archived

Hi -

Anyone know how I could use roUrlTransfer to write to a remote text file. I am just trying to write a string to a file.

mystring = “This is what I want to write to the file.”
xfer = CreateObject(“roUrlTransfer”)
xfer.SetUrl(“http://wherever.com/test.txt”)
xfer.GetToFile(“test.txt”)

I got as far as this but not sure how the actual writing occurs? How do I tell it to write my string to that file?

There is a cUrl interface in BrightScript, see page 88 of the BrightScript Component Reference, I believe you should be able to accomplish what you want with this. Of course, you need write access and permissions on the webserver configured to allow this.

You want PostFromString or PostFromFile.
