How can I update a file to my website automatically. Every one hour.?

Question

I created a website in dreamweaver 8. I would like to upload and update a pricelist of the company that i work for every one hour automatically to the companys website. Can this be done? If so how, or what do i need to do?

Answer 1

If your company has a fixed IP you could just put the price file into a text format (or any format for that matter) use PHP or ASP (active pages) and make the webpage check that file for content! (That way it could update instantly.)

You could even have a database file locally that the webpage just reads the data and displays the result on the website. (Again you need an Active Page with PHP or ASP etc)

If you have to stick with HTML just redo the page locally and get an FTP program that will upload on a timed schedule. I think bulletproof ftp has that ability as well as some others. (This is a poor method but would work.)

Answer 2

check whether the company's website provide any RSS feed
