Design issue : how to replace ftp

Hi,

I was given a task to replace an existing application which uses FTPClient

to send a file from one server to another one. The main reason for replacemtn

is because we want to close the port that is currently use by that ftp. In

the future only port 80 will be opened. It means, I need to think about how

to use http protocol for sending the data.

The current application is not only to ftp a file, but it creates dir and

subdir on the destination server. How can I achieve that using http

protocol ? Is this a good idea using http ? Or any a better one ?

Thanks for your suggestions.

To do that using HTTP you would have to have some kind of code running in your server that supported it. Bare HTTP doesn't support it, so you would have to write that code. In the Java world you would write an upload servlet.
