I thought about this as a solution but I don't have the skills to create this server application, and I don't know if the target network can handle this request. They can see files on a shared drive.

If you can do HTTP, then that presumably means you can do TCP/IP. You can run this daemon on a high port to avoid having to run it as root (only an issue on Unix), and all you need to know is the IP address or host name of the computer that's running it. Or alternatively, you can actually do this via HTTP - if you already have a web server running and it'd be easier to do it that way. I'm more inclined to having it separate, but it might be simpler to write it as a PHP script (or whatever your web server uses). Just have it accept POST requests to update files; but in this case, be *very* sure that your security is in place - the last thing you want is a way for people out on the internet to edit your files. Check IP addresses and such, as well as a username/password check. Chris Angelico
