What does this REXX script do? well.......... read on!
This is the poor man's solution to running a web server(on your local PC).
Background:
Every time you logon to your Internet Service Provider. You get your IP
address from a range of IP addresses that your ISP "owns". In other words,
you get a different IP address every time you logon to your ISP.
That can be a pain in the neck. If you're running your own Web server.
What does this REXX script do, to make things easier?
1. It gets your local IP address (You have to logon first)
2. It generates a HTML file and inserts the obtained IP address, in the
generated file.
3. It uses FTP to transfer the file to your Home directory on your ISP's
machine.
What YOU have to do:
1. Make a link from your homepage to the file that gets transferred.
2. Modify the REXX script(read the comments in the REXX file)
to suit your setup.
That's it.....
