Can I run an ftp script on a web host?
I am trying to make a monitoring program that includes sensors, the
organization who owns the sensor and the server where the sensor sends
data to is generous enough to give me ftp access to their web server. What
I need to do now is constantly run an ftp script to automatically get the
files from their server every 15 minutes since the sensor sends new data
every 15 mins. I will then need to upload the downloaded data to my
website to display the new values.
My question is: do I need to run a computer that will run the scripts
needed to do these or can I upload an ftp script to my web host of my
website where I will upload the files do this?
