Can you explain a little more as to what this file does, etc?
For my linux FTP servers that accept dynamic files from windows server I found it easier to mountain the windows directories on the linux servers and just manage the files on the windows side.

What method you lot want to upload information technology with? FTP, SCP, telnet or perhaps y'all mean some kind of web course?

For simple one-shot file transfers curl is a adept option
For FTP
curl -T LocalFile ftp:/
/ ftp.my.site HTTP put uploads
curl -T LocalFile http:/
/ world wide web.my.site To do a post upload y'all demand to examine the HTML code for the form and get the element IDs to build a form submission. For example if there's a form to upload a file and the the input name in the HTML lawmaking is "File123", do something like this:
curl -F "File123=@my.file"

As Network Overlord said, yous tin can mount a share and just driblet the file into the shared directory. You can then automate where that file gets moved by scheduling a cron tasks that copies that file to wherever you demand it on the webserver.
I also like to employ SCP for transferring files.
Here is the human being page for it:
http:/
/ linux.dice.net/ homo/ one/ scp This site has an SSH tutorial (if you don't already have information technology fix) and there'southward a "Using SCP" department that explains the basic usage of the command. http:/

Depends on what protocol y'all are using to upload with but bold bash have a await at this http:/
/ stackoverflow.com/ questions/ 1894347/ how-to-upload-ftp-files-to-server-in-a-bash-script The poster ended up using scp which was secure and a little more than elegant, but if you scroll down yous will find someone else suggesting using a heredocument. Here is a more specific and direct version of using the heredocument, take a await ath the 2d post http:/

Automating this is just a thing of creating a beat out script that runs the command y'all desire and sticking information technology in a cron job or something.

As network overlord sort of hinted at you could likewise actually mount the ftp binder to a mount point (although he was doign this in Windows) and then treat file transfers as mere file commands like cp

The file acts more like a log. My Linux System will be having that file in a folder, but I want to upload the file to my web server automatically using shell script and cron. I have looked effectually and am notwithstanding finding difficulties to achieve information technology.

The second link I posted has an almost complete script you can utilise to achieve what you desire with cron.

Easiest way as I noted is to just mount a windows share on linux.
2d easiest would probably be an ftp server running either on the windows server or linux server and a script to automate the transfer.
3rd would probably be samba share on linux and automate the transfer through script.
quaternary installing ssh on windows then writing a script to automate that transfer

You lot volition take to ready credentials on the spider web server and so y'all can connect without using a password (see a good how-to here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/ )
And then put something like to this in a script:
BASH
# Put the log files: sftp username@webserver <<! cd /directory/to/upload/to lcd /localdirectory put logfile.log quit !

Utilise rsync in a cron job...
human rsync for switches and command layout, here's simple examples:
rsync [Option] … SRC [SRC] … [USER@]HOST:DEST
rsync [OPTION] … [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]

Utilize rsync in a cron chore...
man rsync for switches and command layout, here's elementary examples:
rsync [Selection] … SRC [SRC] … [USER@]HOST:DEST
rsync [Pick] … [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
+1 for rsync and cron
Through an ssh tunnel for added security.

this is pretty fishy imho, running linux server implies basic knowledge of how some of the stuff works. My short list of what can exist used to do the flim-flam.
rsync
scp
ssh
sftp
nc
curl

Depends some people inherited Linux servers and have almost no noesis, or they followed some how-to to make a single purpose utility without any prior noesis or understanding. Or they may have used some idiot proof linux distro designed for a specific purpose like Untangle or ClearOS, once more with no understanding of anything underlying.

We do a off-white flake of file uploading and transferring to our application servers here ;) Typically, if a procedure needs to upload to our production surroundings, we use SCP with a defended business relationship with a password-less SSH key. The primal is restricted within the authorized_keys file to running a single command. That command is really a perl script which checks that the incoming commands from the upload system are 1) allowed two) formatted correctly (proper number of arguments) and 3) targeting the correct directory. If any of these checks fail, the upload login is rejected.
From there, it is a basic SCP of the parcel (file) to the destination host. If you want, I tin post sample code showing how this works.

But upload HOW? Web servers don't generically have put requests for uploads. All of the of import details are lacking. I exercise what you are describing every day but I don't know what protocols you lot are using or what web site information technology is then lack all necessary context.
You lot can just apply curlicue in crontab to achieve this if you lot know the URL.

Not really. And he might be a Linux guru but the issue at hand is not Linux but the web host. The Linux aspect of the question is niggling. All of the important $.25 are knowing how the spider web host behaves and what it offers.

I mean this in the kindest way, but if he was a Linux guru I would hope he would know or could have found out what methods his web host provided.

I don't think he necessarily implied that he was wanting to upload the file via HTTP. What I got was, he wants to simply transfer a file from one server to his web server.

I know, but the only thing we know that it is, is a web server. Might be running Plan9 and accept no open port but HTTP. Nosotros lack all information as to the system in question.

Same kind of problem as the original question posted by Network Overlord.
I am trying to automate a certificate flow process with a high intensity in my company. The file server is openSuse, works fine, I made it then people will scan the documents and they will be sorted in the file server with directories with specific names, which names have to be taken as cardinal, to where to place the files contained within. Files will exist placed on a remote web server (don't think it is a big problem, I accept to exist able to finalize the procedure based on experience with moving the files locally) Will be uploaded to the destination folders with the respective binder name. IDK if it is like shooting fish in a barrel to make such system, never did information technology, right now exploring the options. I am not good with Shell script, my powers are on PHP. Could yous at to the lowest degree tell me am I on the right forum? :> Cheers in accelerate and best of luck!

Hullo guys sorry to crash in on the forum just I take been looking if this is possible for ages on the internet.
Would this be what I demand to do... let me explicate my situation.
I accept a script ( php, bootstrap, MySQL ,jquery etc.) it'due south an online web designer.
How ever at the present clients can only download the whole files ( once designed on the wing) to their
pc then they accept to ftp up to their own servers. Cipher special needed merely like designing a website/folio and uploading to our servers.
What im later is to prepare upwardly a split folder on my server to allow clients to PUBLISH to that binder automatically. This volition then exist a live website but under my sub folder say. ( with say their website name auto created : like www.maindomain.com/newclient1/
then the side by side would exist www.maindomain.com/newclient2/ )
If not and then sorry to ask just if some 1 could please help me out I would be well-nigh grateful
many thanks
Craig
