Hi all ,I have an issue.

I want to upload an image to me webpage,but not once,i want to upload this image every minute.I have a software that generates images for me every minute.and i want to put this image in my web site.

In other words this image is going to upload(update) automatically every minute.

Hoe can i do this?

I use dreamweaver for web design.

Welcome aboard Elio88, I think the only way to do this would be to somehow automate a task from your system.

But I'll add, you are really working the long way around the fence here. This is probably pretty server intensive and uses up a lot of your bandwidth which should be saved for your users, as well as adding to your ISP bandwidth. It's also going to be unreliable and fail when you lose a connection.

I have a software that generates images for me every minute

Your server should be doing this, which would dispense with all of the above. You create a cron job that runs every minute and generates the images. There are a lot of robust image manipulation tools out there, the most obvious being ImageMagick [imagemagick.org] which interfaces to almost any server side language (perl, php, etc.) Anything your program does to generate images can be done with ImageMagick (I'd almost bet it can, anyway!)

If you don't have the skills to code this, a coder could probably do it for you and it wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg.

there is no else software that does this images becouse these images are meteorological images.

I don't understand when you say to automate the task for me .
There is any software that can do the uploads for me?

Well, meteorological images can be fed from weather satellite sites . . . but if you feel you are trapped to an upload scenario, there should be an automated task capability on your O.S. For Windows, you'd go to Start->Settings->Control Panel-> Scheduled Tasks.

You may have to script something up to feed specific input to the program (i.e., if just an FTP program, automate the scheduled task, pass parameters to it for what to do,) but that's as far as my memory serves for Windows programming in this area. :-)
