Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response. I understand the security concerns. I'm testing 
against networking equipment in a private lab with no access to the 
Internet, so security is not a major concern. I'm just trying to test the 
publish feature through an SLB. There was some thinly veiled information 
regarding the HTTP put in the user guide, Xitami does support it, but I 
just can't get it to work.

Thanks,

Sean

AND you need a script

is probably much easier (although it would 
still require a CGI
program and has security issues!). 
But why bother, when
Xitami has such a nice FTP server built in? 
Not even sure if Xitami
supports 'put' requests!

Anyway, although the
following article is about Apache, it DOES 
contain some noteworthy
information about using 'put' requests.
