mouse Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Does anyone know of a method where I can have a remote computer automatically post a Excel file to a website with intervals of approximately 3 minutes. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Can you contextualise it? The excel file is for your reference elsewhere? It is going to a site you have access to from a remote computer you wish you did. It's sort of like how deep is a hole and how long is a piece of string IT/Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Can you contextualise it?The excel file is for your reference elsewhere? It is going to a site you have access to from a remote computer you wish you did. It's sort of like how deep is a hole and how long is a piece of string There is a small Excel file sitting on one of our computers at a remote location. This file is constantly being added to. Due to security I do not want to share that drive or any information on it. I do however, need a periodic update of this one Excel file at my location sent to me lets say every 5 or 10 minutes. Actually, unless I figure this out by Monday morning, I will be in a deep hole with a short string. Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Try webdrive. Set the directory up via ftp as a drive on your machine. That will work as it doesn't have to be shared on the network. Here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zendesigner Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Put the file in a separate folder and share that one? you don't need to share the complete drive Depending on wich OS the pc is running you can also apply security to it so only you can acces it on the share. On Winxp pro or win2000 you can also secure the share itself as well as the file. FTP is also a possibility indeed , but you still need to secure that also then.
