I have little to no experience in ASP, but I had to search the web for some code to help out with a problem. I have a text file on an external Unix-based server, and I need to get it onto this Windows server by running a script. Here is the code:
<%
Dim FSO, TextStream
Dim url, strContent
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
url = "http://dynamic5.example.com/~lufia/forum/newsdata.txt"
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xml.Open "GET", url, False
xml.Send
strContent = xml.responseText
Set xml = Nothing
Set TextStream = FSO.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("includes\newssystem.txt"), 2, True, 0)
TextStream.Write(strContent)
TextStream.Close
Set TextStream = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
%>
The script is meant to get the contents of [dynamic5.example.com...] then store it in [example.net...]
This ASP won't work properly. It keeps updating newssystem.txt with data from 6 hours ago, or 4 hours ago. It never seems to put the current data in in the file, even though the file on the Unix-based server is always updated. Is there any way round this? Thanks.
