Updating Textfile on FTP Server or HTTP Server

I dont want a FTP Client! Connecting and uploading/downloading a file is not what i want to do. The file already exists there, i want to append to it. if there is code for that, then please find it and post it here.....
thanks for responding!

Well... the file exists on the server that you want to change or rename or do something with, correct? This file resides on an HTTP server  or FTP server, correct?

Then you must have a client application that connects to your FTP server to get the file, change the file, delete the file and etc.

The demos also have an example of using Indy to grab a file off of an HTTP (web) server as I recall. Again this would be a client application.

In any event, your application will be a client.

The FTP client demo shows you how to use all of the IndyFTP components to do pretty much everything you want to do by your post using FTP, file transport protocol.

Oh... by learning from the demo on how to use the FTP components, you can piece this all together in your own custom application.

I already solved it on my own, using EE search results


See code below.....its just a segment of my actual code....but its working code incase others need it in the future

thanks for responding though

var
 F: TextFile;
begin
 if not idFTP.Connected then
 begin
  try
   idFTP.Connect;
   if IdFTP.Connected then
   begin
    idFTP.ChangeDIr('/public_ftp/cz/');
    IdFTP.Get('data.txt', 'data.txt', true, true);
    IdFTP.Delete('data.txt');
    AssignFile(F, 'data.txt');
    Append(F);
    WriteLn(F, GetPersonalInfo);
    CloseFile(F);
    IdFTP.Put('data.txt','data.txt',False);
    DeleteFile('data.txt');
   end
   else
    rchScreen.Lines.Add('Error connecting');
  finally
    IdFTP.Disconnect;
  end;
 end;
end;

Select allOpen in new window

try
  idFTP.Connect;

your try should be below the connect

idFTP.Connect;
try

only if you succeed in connecting need you disconnect

the other way means you allways disconnect, even if you couldn't connect
which may also produce an error

btw, your code is following the guidelines of Johnjces

already found and corrected it, after i posted last night....but thanks

"btw, your code is following the guidelines of Johnjces"

I believe I asked for code. "Code Please?"  Not a link to demos. I had already looked at demos and none of them did what i wanted them to do.

I knew how to connect and disconnect and get a list of files and get and put a file on a FTP server.

I just couldn't figure out how to update a file (Append) as my question stated.......and it all boiled down to the removal of the file, both on the server and the harddrive.

Sorry, but i solved it on my own. If I thought he deserved the points, i would happily give it to him....I have unlimited to go around....since I pay for the service.

thanks, but i needed it to work on either FTP or HTTP.  FTP seems to be doing the job!

I have decided to award the points to the two of you....becuase you two at least responded....and it should help someone else in the future.

Thanks
