I need to upload a file to a file on a unix machine and process that file using some additional parameters.
One way of doing this is to have a web application using which I can upload the file to the unix system and which also accepts the additional parameters.
However my unix machine does not have any webservers and we are not planning on having one unless absolutely necessary.
The alternative is to upload the file using WinSCP, and run the
java code that processes the file from the console.
Are there any other alternatives? I thought that running a Swing FileChooser might be the answer, but not anymore (1. FileChooser would let me choose files on the UNIX box and not on my local machine 2. To get Swing to work I have to have X11 installed)
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks!
