Automated server-to-server file transfer from a C CGI script

[dradsws]

Hi,

I need to automate transfer of a file from one UNIX box to another, froma CGI program written in C. The CGI program will receive a data file from the browser, and will output a temporary file to the web server machine. What we need to do is to transfer this file to another machine for processing.

Anyone got any ideas? I thought of FTP, but many CGI processes doing FTP over the same network link simultaneously may not be the best option.

Or is there a way to use the CGI to write directly to another machine with a different IP?

Is there any other choices? We need to implement very soon, so it can not involve too much effort.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Cheers

Steve

you can use CGI like queries. C language is not the best for create CGI. Ion Filipski
