Hi,

My frontend is in HTML.
<input type="file"> so that i will be able to select a file. What i really want is to move the selected file in the network to a specified system. I will provide the system-name as one of the input (or) even the IPaddress when it is required.

Iam not able to find a solution for this and this is high alert situation so plz plz help me out.

Well, the systems that are supposed to recieve the files, has to be preconfigured to accept the file, in some way. You can't just send a file to any system and expect the system to accept it (it would be a bit of a security problem if that was possible).

How the systems that are supposed to recieve the file are supposed to recieve a file, is up to you to decide, there are many ways to do that, ftp, shared drives etc. But some sort of server has to be installed on all recieving systems.

You can then put a serverside script on the http server, which transfers the file to the recieving system using the protocol selected above. Again there are many different ways to do this, depending on which serverside scripting language you want to use.
