Establishing a Comms link [Solved] - [Abandoned for now]

Post by Steve Mellor »

Hi all. I was after a little help with this. I am building a website that needs to connect to a third party company and this is what I have been told I need to do:

We would make the file available within a folder on the server at the end of each day. You would then need to establish a comms link with the server to pick up this file.
I was wondering if anyone had any idea which functions I should be taking a look at in order to "establish a comms link" or even if it is possible?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

sounds unbelievably vague to me - they could be talking about anything from an HTTP request to FTP to SSH. The method matters.

Yeah, I thought this was the case although I just wanted to check I wasn't being dense. ;)
