WEBSITE HOSTED BY OTHER COMPANY

[rry2k]

Hi,
Our website is hosted by another company so my database resides on their server. I would like to be able to update the database on my server when updates are sent from the web. Is there a way to do an auto FTP in code?

Thanks..Russ

well i guess an auto FTP is only possile if your web hosting company grants you permission to connect to their server and download a mirror of the database off their server. So i guess you should talk to you hosting company about this.

How are the updates being done on the server? If it's with a cgi-program, especially perl, you should be able to add some code to ftp the data to you. There's a good perl FTP module or two at
