Thank you very much for your response. Could you recommend any solution? I
know the path where the file is sitting and I want to create a script that
would automatically upload it. (I don't want the user to be bothered with
entering the path each time.)
Thank you,
ps. You said: "you want to take this to the beginners cgi list"; isn't this
the beginner's mailing-list? ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
