Alright heres what I need, my program uses a local .ini file to keep track of recordes, I would like to put this .ini file on my server and be able to access it. What would be the best way to go about this? What are some security risks? I do not want to download the file and then access it (Since I mise well just include it).

<scratches head> how do you get information off the internet without downloading it in one form or another... and if the information isn't changing and including it is an option why the heck wouldn't you?

ye-es!

The MOO objects can store server-side .imi files, albeit in the server's windows folder. It's a pretty insecure method, but imho the easiest if you can get it to work.

Use the ftp object. It allows you to connect, download, and upload files to your server and doesn't show the user your password or user info.

I tried to make an online ini for a highscores thing for an online game once. But, then an evil message popped up and said that it can't find the ini vitalize extension.

Hmmm, how exactly do you store .imi's with moo? (MooClick to be exact)

If I cant get that to work, perhaps if the program downloads the ini file from the server everytime it starts, and uploads it back every so often. This would prevent permenant change to the ini impossible. Maybe..

Your best best would be to use moosock, or the supa supa download object, mooclick in the current version does not support imi's.

FTP Object isn't too good of an idea, anyone with a packet sniffer could easilly get your account name and pass
