opening remote server file

sachin_sharma78

HI all,

Is it right way to open a file from remote server.

I m using teamsite 6.1 and integrating it with plumtree(which is on some other server). There is a HTML file which is generated by plumtree everytime a community is added to it. I want to read this file from custom script(ipl) so that i can pass its contents to listbox of my DCT. currently i m copying this file to my C drive and read it from there. since this file is generated after 5-10 min. so i dont want to use open deploy.

Is it possible to open the file remotely thru perl ?

I went thru some examples available on net but cudnt get success...

Regards,
Sachin

I suppose you could develop a client/server program such that server A sends a request to server B to read a file, and server B reads the file and sends the content back through the pipe to server A... Not entirely sure how to write it (having never had the need to write a client/server program) - but it could certainly be done.

I would lean more toward using the Net::FTP module to grab the file at the beginning of the perl script. Or maybe use rsync. Or he could expose the file via a web server. Writing your own protocol just to grab a file seems like overkill to me.

I agree - but if you were going to use those other mechanisms, why not use OpenDeploy? Unless the remote server is one which does not already have OpenDeploy installed - in which case using Net::FTP to retrieve the file and then read it locally makes sense -- but it didn't sound like they wanted to actually retrieve the file, just the contents.
