How to write to a ".txt" file present on remote machine.

I dont want to use two way socket connection. Is there any other way to write to a file on remote machine?

Best Regards,
Shrek.

Hey I got the way........
Here is the code:

$remote= '\\\remotehost\remotedir\remotefile.txt';
open(fp, ">$remote") or die ("could not open the file");
 
print fp "PAUSE";
 
close(fp);

I'm surprised that works.

If it does, so be it. At least they found something that works for them. :-)

Hey KevinADC,

its working for me.....
Can you please let me know, does the above code hamper the performance of the complete script??

[KevinADC]

As far as I know there is no efficiency or performance issue with the code you posted. I was just surprised it worked. Writing to files on remote machines is generally not done using the open() function. There must be something else that is allowing your perl script to access the remote machine/file and write to it. Or maybe I am just totally confused.

I would think that, even in the Windows environment, he would have to have the drive mapped and have access. If he does, it seems logical to be able to access a mapped drive. That is what it looks like he is doing.

I think you're right.

Must be, I tried it from my PC to my host, and it was
access denied baby. But it did try, and it worked in that much.
