Is there a way to use ftp to get a file to an open stream rather than grab the file and place it in a directory on your agent’s server? I have a database that is hosted on a server that I do not admin, and I don’t have any accessible filespace. I need to grab data from some files on an AIX box, and create forms in my db that contain that data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Subject: depends on the files
If they’re text files and you need to be able to take the data in them and use it to create docs you can use the standard Open and Line Input way of reading the files. This will read them one line at a time into a variable and you can parse the lines as necessary.
If you’re trying to attach these files you might be able to do it using the NotesRichText classes.
