Uploading document to external url

[jorik]

Hello,

I'm quite new to the Macro world, but not particularly to programming.
I was looking for a way to save the document which I'm currently editing and send it to an external url. I came across the .storeToURL() method, but I can't seem to figure out if this also works for external urls.
Would this be possible? And with what language could this best be made with?

Even if what I'm describing isn't possible, can I execute a command line which starts up e.g. a java program with the document's filepath as an argument, so that an external java program uploads the document I'm editing?

Thanks in advance for your opinion,

Jorik

What so you mean as "external"?

It is a LAN connection, a shared library of an another machine?

Code: Select all

"file://NAME_OF_ANOTHERPC/A_SHARED_LIBRARY/SOME_SUBDIRECTORY/filename.ext"

Or do you want make an FTP connection to a WEBserver (or to an other type server)?

Working examples (with dummy data):

Code: Select all

"ftp://somebody%40hostname.com:PaSSwOrd@111.222.333.444/directory/subdir/filename.ext"

%40 = @ - when the user identification is a mail address.


another example:

Code: Select all

"ftp://servicename/hostname.com:PaSSwOrd@111.222.333.444/directory/subdir/filename.ext"

This methods works for me from the StarBasic.
