King Gamer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 What does it take to allow for files to be written to from an external file. I geuss what I am really asking is can a computer remotely write files on the server without requirning the password. I know I could do this with an ftp server but I am trying to make a multiplayer game(In the alice program). I feel like an ftp would be too slow even though it will only require text files. I was wondering if anyone had any segstions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 You would have little luck doing this on a free web host. You're looking for a VPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Gamer Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah we know that would be hard but these are file of sizes around 12kb. I think we would have to limit it to games like chess and checkers but I think it would be possible because it doesn't need to be incredibly fast.

I thought you mean something along the lines of a MMORPG. For what you would like to do, learn php and MySQL. php has file writing functions on its own, but php + MySQL is a lot less hassle than php + files on the server. http://www.redhotpawn.com/ is an example of this.
