Hi.
I have some Lazarus app - exe file (running under Windows) wich make
some other files when i have excecute it.
ex. run myfile.exe - generate testfile.txt in the app dir.

I want to place this app somewhere in the web and i want:
1. Access some url whith params, ex. 
www.mysite.com/runmyscript?testword
2. MyFile.exe must generate testfile.txt
3. As a result file testfile.txt must be dowloaded from url, ex. 
www.mysite.com/runmyscript/download/testfile.txt

Qiestions:
Is it possible to do this steps?
Is some cloud server where i may upload myfile.exe and run it?

If you're using Asp.net with C# then it's pretty easy:

I assume you have that exe on server side so it's gonna look like
this.

 Process.Start("C:\\your.exe");


see here http://www.dotnetperls.com/process-start


though this doesn't have to do with exe built with lazarus but rather
with the web platform your're developing.

QuoteAnd what servers is popular and free, ex. google drive?Most
servers are Linux, unsure of the free ones that allow executing
arbitrary application. That would be too dangerous. Google drive is
just a storage AFAIK.
QuoteAnd if i compile myprog.exe with Lazarus under Linux?Same, only
maybe you can find the server easier. Still, a free one is difficult
to get.
