I need some help, I want to upload a file to IBM via a shell script. Here is the trick, it is using a web application to do a HTML Post operation How do I do this w/o having to use a web browser. And I need to save the result that would be streamed back to me.

Hi

I don't know so much about programming but i know in older programming languages you can open a session to the underlaying OS, then you can start any program and do some tasks like upload a file from a web site using the wget program ....

Hope this helps

It sounds to me like a job for curl. There is a version for aix out on the toolkit site. Curl lets you add post information to fill out forms and can even be pointed to a cookie file. The results will come to the screen or can be directed into an output file.

I need to make this into a post statement to take a command line file and automagically upload it to IBM.

Enter the name of the MDS survey file:
<br>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/webapp/set2/mds/mds" method="post" name="getfile">
<input type="file" name="mdsData" value="file.txt" size=30>
<p>

<input type="submit" name="sendfile" value="Upload file">
Anyone got any ideas?

You might take a look at the wget program specially at the --post-file=file option. I have never used wget like that but from the man page it looks that it might do what you want.

You'll find wget in the "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications". IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications - GNU and open source tools for AIX
