Batch files and online resources...

I own a few websites and I'm wondering whether I could put some .BATs, .COMs, .EXEs online so some of my batch files on my local computer can 'talk' to them. This could open-up so many options for me -- instant messaging, chatrooms, etc. This would be so cool, because batch scripts are so much faster than other languages.
I'm doubtful, but is it possible??
Thanks.

Hi phillid,

I wanted same for dostips.com and investigated. From what I learned - if your hosing provider supports webdav then you can provide file access like "\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\pslist.exe" and execute this from a command line or from within a batch.
I haven't figured out yet how to add webdav support myself for Unix based hosting, since my hosting provider doesn't support it out of the box. If you figure it out let me know :wink:
