Hello all,
I have not used any internet connectivity features of IDL,
but a current project may make use of this.
So, has anyone used IDL to open (as a client) some type of connection to
a server, and list files, download selected files, etc? Any problems that
you've run into, is this a viable solution to accessing data remotely?
I could just put a directory listing on a web page, but I like the idea of
a data analyzing widget that the user could run, to create figures, do simple
processing, etc.
What protocols are available ftp, http, sftp, scp?
Can this be done in a gui running in the virtual machine?
Cheers,
bob

Yeah, but think of the really great deals on Viagra you are missing!
Actually, if I don't constantly have new mail popping up every couple of
minutes, I start to feel very lonely. :(
