Xfer files to an HTTPS network share via DOS???
« on: November 20, 2007, 11:01:21 AM »
I have a client with a https web server who needs a new file uploaded every day.  I don't want to keep doing this manually so I'd like to write a simple dos batch script I can schedule to do this for me.  Sounds simple enough, except, I can not figure out how to access "My Network Places" in DOS.

Windows XP machine. 

Thanks!
D.

Just in case anyone read this and said WHOA!!  I found the solution - a little freeware app called what else - upload.exe

can get it at http://pcwin.com/Internet/FTP/File_Uploader/index.htm

Some other suggestions from various sources were cURL and wGET

it's easy enough with standard mounted network drives --

net use //server/share  but this was an https: shared drive only accessible through a web browser or if you wanted to write a file, windows explorer.  That's where upload.exe came in handy - apparently it emulates a web browser and the basic functionalities like authentication directory changing and what not with requiring use of the mouse/GUI interface.  I am quite pleased as will my boss be.
