A little help??
 

Ok this has nothing to do with VB but i figured with all the smart people here someone may be able to help me.

I have a text file on my server that I would like to be able to edit online via a form. This is so i don;t have to download it, update the file, then reupload it.

Does anyone have anyclue how i can do this?

Thanks!

The only FTP Client which i've discovered that can use this is FlashFXP, right click on the file, then edit, edit it on your server :P

FTP Voyager can also achieve the above.. :)

There's an option built in to cPanel IIRC which allows you to edit files via a form on the File Manager..

You can do this with Confixx' WebFTP aswell :)

I understand I can do this with a FTP proggie BUT i would like to do a form directly in the html that i can load and edit the file from.

Is this possable?

It's possible using vBulletin templates, I guess...

Or you could use MySQL for this, ofcourse.

Sorry but also FlashFXP can't do this, simply because th FTP standard have no commands making this possible. What FlashFXP does (and a lot of others, like the free FlashFXP clone UltraFXP) is download the file to a local file, let you edit it, and then reupload it.

That is what i am doing now is downloading it edit and reupload. What i want to do is beable to edit it like i edit the VBulletin templates. HAve a form open up have it load the text file so i can edit it then when i hit save it saves the changes.

??? Any ideas?

MySQL is the key my friend.

i use core ftp and it allows me to do just that i believe
