Hi all,

This is my Question:

Can i execute program on webhost server?

if i have .exe program that can run without any setup (just .exe file) Can i upload the .exe file to my website and make this .exe file always work (execute) on server all the time (not execute on client).





Regards,

If you've got your own server, then yes there are ways to make a server-side file run an executable. There are ways, for example, to run DOS commands through ASP. If you're on a shared hosting server though, the chances that they'll let you run exe files on their server are slim.

1st thanks for ur reply,
It don't own server. i buy webspace on the net to host my website on it.
So can i upload my .exe file then use any language script to make it run for all time

You'd be better asking your hosting company. Personally, I doubt it. If you've managed to find one that will let you run your own EXE files on their servers, please let me know who they are :thumbsup:

Language-wise: yeah, most server-side technologies include some method of running applications on the server. It's not always pretty but there's usually a way. Depends what you have on the server.
