correct me if i am wrong (it does happen alot), but it appears you want someone else to POST a file to you without ever visiting your site ... using the HTTP POST method as a filetransfer without a UI, right ? If not, skip the rest, if so, Read on :

First off, i have never done this, so what i am about to say is all guesses, thoughts and conjecture ... but thats what code is made of. To start with the obvious, HTTP is not really built for this, and FTP would probably be a better solution over all ... but assuming there is a reason this is not being used (and a good one i would hope), you could setup a form which uses the statdard upload faeture , but use </code>Vars</code> method to get all params and the use the keys of the hasref returned to find the vaild one. That will allow someone to post to url/script.pl?foo=file or url/script.pl?bar=file if correctly implimented.

Hope that helps
OH, a sarcasm detector, that’s really useful
