A simple senario would be to send the contents of a field from one unknown computer to the hard drive of a single known computer. Each file sent would have a unique file name.
Any ideas?

If the remote known computer is running an FTP server, it can be as simple as

Code: Select all

put field "Content" into URL "ftp://user:password@example.com/uniquefilename.txt"

However, if there is no FTP server running, things will be a bit more complicated, as you'll have to write the code for a server application to run on that remote known computer.

Thank you, that piece of code looks clear enough. However, I dont know what an ftp server is. I presume a normal PC connected to the internet is http. So what do we need to do the make it ftp?

If the computer is a Windows server that has MS Internet Information Services (IIS) installed, it's as simple as ticking a box to activate the FTP server. However, there's a license cost involved, which you may want to avoid - in such case, FileZilla Server may be a good free/opensource alternative.
