    Boavision FTP file naming issues

    I have a Boavision HD22M102M PTZ IP camera. It has a built-in FTP function to send a snapshot to my web server. All works well, except it sends a different filename each time instead of the same filename and overwriting the existing file on the server. I need a consistent filename so that I may...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    The main point here is that by using FTP to upload at a frequency that I choose, keeps me in control of my ISP bandwidth. Once it's uploaded on my paid server( in Germany), it does not matter if I have 0 or 1000 hits as I have unlimited bandwidth there. A least I hope that I am explaining that...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    I may be mistaken, but wouldn't that allow someone to bust my ISP data cap? At least with FTP I have control over how much data is pulled from the camera and weather station and uploaded via my ISP to my server space. After its on the server, then it becomes public and it does not matter. Is...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    Here is a peek at my temporary website showing my weather station and webcam snapshot. http://budbrinkley.com/flying_v_ranch.html While the website is rather crude and basic, my weather station is not. It sits out next to my runway on the ranch and uses a long range radio link to communicate...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    Overall what I am trying to accomplish here is to upload my personal weather station data and a webcam shot every 20 minutes to my web server.

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    Y'all have my interest going concerning the SSD. I wonder how big of a SSD drive I would need to install the Win7 Pro operating system on? Also concerning power requirements, would the desktop use less overall electricity if the operating system is on the SSD while data is on the original drive...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    Well thanks for y'all's concern but I already ordered it and its on its way. I'll get it Tuesday and check back here when I get it set up. I'm pretty sure it will do just fine. By the way I paid $180 for it. Not too bad. I chose it because it comes with Win 7 professional and it has a three year...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    What a great script and I thank you very much for your efforts! I did try it but I am having problems with downloading powershell. Thus I think it's in my best interest to purchase a new desktop pc before I spend anymore time with my current old XP setup. I'll look into picking one up tomorrow...

    Any help at all would be very much appreciated! PM me if you need specific details. I basically only need a script to grab a jpg photo, name it something and then download it into a local folder on my hard drive. It needs to keep the same filename each time, therefore overwriting the old file...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    My server is a paid hosted account under my domain name. I've run FTP before and I do know how to set that up. I am running a 24 hr pc (Windows XP) that I can run the script on. If I could get a file placed on this pc's hard drive then I can FTP it to my server using other software easily. I...

    How to get FTP to overwrite picture name each time?

    Thank you for your reply! What you are describing is exactly what I want to do. Unfortunately I have zero knowledge of how to write a script in power shel as you described. I'm not sure of what direction I should go at this point.
