[Trivia.tcl] Place the output html file on a remote web host

[Exedore]

In my Trivia TCL, I have the following section of codes:

Code: Select all

#  The full path to the file which the bot will use to generate
#  an HTML info page. The account the bot runs on must have read
#  & write access to this file. If the file does not exist, it will
#  be created when needed.
set tghtmlfile 

"/home/some-user/eggdrop/scripts/trivia_html/index.htm"

The 'index.html' file generates without trouble in the local folder of the shell, and shows the scores of the players.
But the web in which I want that output to appear is not within the same server as my IRCd. The irc server is different from the web server.

My question is: what should I do in order to generate de index.html file and place it inside the folder that I have previously prepared for it ..which is on my web server

Code: Select all

"www.mysite.com/trivia"

My shell has the SCP protocol enabled, but I'm not sure if it is necessary to use that protocol to copy the file, if necessary, how is it done?

Should I use something like this?:

Code: Select all

"scp://user:pass@ftp.mysite.com/trivia/index.html"

?

For example:

Code: Select all

set tghtmlfile
"scp://user:pass@ftp.mysite.com/trivia/index.html"

OR

Code: Select all

set tghtmlfile
"ftp://user:pass@ftp.mysite.com/trivia/index.html"

I'm having a very hard time understanding this..

The same happens with the pisg.

Code: Select all

OutputFile="/home/some-user/pisg/html/index.html"

Thanks you guys. Your answers will be helpful for many others.

Can you help me with this? or you can not..?

Those scripts assume your bot, is also an httpd. Therefore the directories do not span (read this as, cannot do what you want, ever) onto another server. The server which the bot is on does double duty, handles bot traffic and httpd traffic.

To accomplish what you want (seperate servers for bot/httpd) requires use of possibly wget (to transfer bot files to the httpd) and background processing (so while uploading bot can do other tasks)...

But those TCL s supports that feature..

No it doesn't. It expects your bot and httpd to be running from the exact same server.

I understand..

In that case... is there any method to make this possible?
some TCL?
I've tried with sendftp but it doesn't work

I don't want to give up..

Google "wget" there are programs for this.
