I have just re-done my code to see if it works but I can use Dark Basic because the time ran out and its a demo. Can someone please run the code while connected to the net. You only have to type a name and wait for 5 seconds. It will create a file on the net. You will be listed in my credits of the program that I am doing. Please post a message here when you have run the program. Thank you.

By the way, I am programming some code that can keep scores, messages, etc, on the net so if you have a game and you want it to save scores on the net, just say because this stuff that im doing is very complecated which means that not everyone will be doing it

That would be very cool, and sure I'm interrestet. But where does it store the scores on the net? Do I have to make my own FTP server?

well, I have created a server already for scores and it has 25MB of webspace with it so dont worry about that! also, if you want you can get your own server but its complacated. Different scores are saved in different files. I am currently making someone 1 for scores and its quite easy to program with the code that I have already done. If you want to use this special code for messages, scores, etc, just e-mail on xxxpetratxxx@hotmail.com or just post in this forum.

Also, with the code that I have already posted, could you maybe run that program 3 or 4 times because I am checking to see if old data will stay in the online file and I cant run it from this computer . It doesnt require an exe, just run it from the DB browser and it will communicate with an online site. Thank you.

Nice idea, but isnt this going to be damaged by some evil people. Cant people start uploading corrupted files. Maybe you can get somthing working via the net using server side asps. Not that therell ever exploited *cough*. maybe some kind person knows of a dll that could aid you in otherwise a very good venture.

Well, good thinking but every program or game that uses this will have to use the code as an EXE so they wont get the ACTUAL code but they will get an EXE that they can use in their program with #include. No corrupted files can be uploaded because its impossible because im making sure it only uploads .dat and .txt files!

And by the way, I can give people code as long as I dont tell them my password & username for my FTP and they use thier own site!

didnt you put your password and user name in the code snippet . Iam sure youll come up with somthing that will put a layer of protection in there somewhere . If you can get darkbasic to do url calls (dont ask me how) you could use a perl program that would do a similar thing without relying on people to ftp things to your site directly? Alot of web services give perl(cgi) ability free, free asp support is harder to find. Perl isnt hard to do either. Just a thought.

If anyone wats to speak about the net engine, i suggest you go to that forum of mine - http://www.darkbasicpro.com/apollo/view.php?t=2466&b=10 - this is a forum next to it. That forum is about the special Net engine that I am currently creating. It doesnt only do scores, it can do anything with uploading to the net.

I will first run the code tonight.
BTW, i know how to create my own FTP. Thats not complicated, but it's expensive to do have a 24/7 connection with a 56kbps modem.

To make sure the upload will not get toooo big, you could make it only store the 25 best scores. People who only gets 5 points is not interresting for other people to look at.
