Hi EB,

I like to  use Indy components to update a  txt. file on the internet.

I will have a text file placed on HTTP Server
 I would like my application to logon, check for existence of file and
if its there, append some data to it. All the data will be in Comma
delimited text (one string).

What's the way?

Is there any component of indy that can do it? http.post ?

if you have sample code link ,please,


Thx. before...

First question: is the server only accessible through HTTP or also
with FTP (because you mention logon).

If possible use idFTPClient, access the server through FTP. That way
the client can check for the file and modify it.

HTTP can send data to the server but AFAIK files are not accessible
from HTTP. You would need a server side script for that (PHP?)
