That is a solution. But my connection keeps breaking so the share wont be available then. So I want the scanner machine to pull those result files after a specified time interval

Then maybe you want to send them by mail? Or use rsync to copy the files over when the connection has been restored?
I think it will be far more efficient if you describe to us the exact setup and network environment, so that we don't have to guess at a good solution multiple times. Maybe you can also tell us the exact problem you're trying to solve. Having a view of the big picture often helps in understanding the implied constraints.

I have windows machine in a domain. Now I need to run a perl executable on x machines in the domain. Okay?
Now there is this one main server which throws the perl executable to thses x machines . This perl exe generates a output file which keeps on modifying. The reult files needs to be pulled by server from x machines and then they are compiled at server for final result. Server needs to pull these result files after every y minutes. Can i do that?
What i do now is that i create a share on server and the writing the result files to it as Corion already suggested. But then i lose connection and it creates a problem. So Now I want to create reult files on x machines and then want server to pull them after y min.How to do it?

system("start E:");
(if E: is the drive letter for the share) should do.
Of course, after a while, you'll end up with a bunch of windows (or 1, at best) that you don't need. Oh, well. :) | [reply] [d/l] |
