well, actually i have posted my question b4, but i think its not clear enough~ so this is my situation!!

now I have a site w/ a table showing some data. The data will store in a text file. The site is hosting in a sharing server~ (a hosting company)
ok now, i want to update the a text file automatically, where the new data is from my computer~ so my computer is actually a client machine right? hehe, i think so~
so how can i read the file from my computer, and save to content to the text file in ther server? and anyone help me?
THANX!!!!

you cant do that with normal server-side scripting (for obvious reasons).

if you have control of the machine then you can use PHP or any application on that machine to post data to your web-application.

If the client machine has a DB containing the data you want and that DB is configured to allow remote access then you can easily do that, but grabbing data from a client machine without permission is not possible without using browser/OS exploits which is a no-no (at least in this forum).
