Looking for some html form help...



Actually, I'm running a Windows98se peer to peer network where B0 is the
fileserver. 

It would seem that I could do a command like:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="c:\testdata.txt"> 
to send data collected from the form and have it directly save onto a data
file without using perl. If anyone knows the correct procedure...I would
appreciate knowing how.

If you're using php as your form handler, you can do this in any number
of ways. You can mount a directory on b0 on your web server and save the
file "locally", or use one of the built in ftp functions to get the file
to b0, or run something like netcat as a listener on b0 and open a
socket directly to b0 from the webserver uses one of the php socket
functions, etc..

I can give you better suggestions if you give me some more info. What
OS's are these two boxes?
