A while ago I asked about a proble I had auto sending images from a win98 webcam using FTP throught my Linux server to the web. Despite attempts with different software I had no success. I can FTP to the server so I suppose the solution is to then auto send files from the server. Can someone suggest how I might do this. Should I automate the server FTP in some way or is there another way to regularly push a file to an external ftp address? thanks James C

Maybe you could make your webcam software just save a uniquely named file every so often. Having it save a Samba share. Personally I'd consider Windows best avoided for this kind of thing anyway. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

Believe me, I've tried every combo of password username possible. It seems that although the FTP within web browsers is transparent to SQUID, the ftp software didn;t seem to be, even when I found stuff that was supposed to work from behind a proxy.

D'accord, Are you wanting to FTP the files from a Linux server? If that is the case, then it is just a simple matter of writing an FTP macro to automate the process....easy!! If you want help doing that (Dave Turbull: remember Macdef??? :-), I can easily write one for you.

You didn't mention anything about proxies originally. Nor is it "transparent" the proxy needs to be explicatally configured within the browser.

Have you put the correct proxy settings into your FTP software? It might help if you indicated what software you are using... -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

Tries "correct ones" and "incorrect ones"

...

Everything free trial webcam software and ftp programs I could find!

Are you comparing *downloads* using a browser via squid, with *uploads* from the command line? It seems to me that significant difference is the direction the data's going, not the client software. There are a couple of approaches to proxying FTP (TIS/Gauntlet type, socks) neither of which are squid, which AFAIK only does downloads.
