can you speak CGI? such as php, perl, python
OK after alot of searching I cant seem to find what I want. There does not seem to be any generic package for a PbEM-games managing web site. Much of what would work well for such a site is not too involved such as making turn files available for download. Controlling individuals access to the correct files is pretty well ironed out for any web site.
But the one stone weighting down such a project seems to be turning the move files in to the host. The generic files for such seem to go overboard with complete file-management of a Users directory. NOT what I want.
Im thinking that the simplest most secure direction is if someone can whip up or find a CGI (preferably generic to running on any server OS) which uploads A SINGLE file from a SINGLE location. Can someone show me a php script which when clicked will
upload C:\progra~1\dominions2\game9\ermor.2h ./game9/ermor.2h
or
upload c:\progra~1\space~1\savegame\mpgame_2_24000.gam ./game9/mpgame_2_24000.gam
Yes I understand that its defaults which might not work on everyones machine but if I can get a clear cgi then we can work on individualizing it. There can be a form where you can tell it where to find the file, and it can write a personalized cgi for that user. Anyway, its the starting point for a conversation.
