hello everyone,

My problem is how to upload .txt file directly to the server. I wonder  
if there is cgi script in ruby that first check a .txt file in a folder  
in your local machine then if it exist it will be uploaded directly to  
the server without using any forms and no html. I think a cgi script can  
do that but i dont know how to start?

thanks
