    need to launch an .asp page automatically

    Hello

    I would like to run an ASP page each day at the same time automatically.
    it reads from my product data and ftps the data to another server.

    I am running on a windows system with IIS
    I have no idea where to begin.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    it is not my own server so I don't have access to server.
    I can just ftp.

    Thanks in advance.

      I wanted to do something similar to this a few days ago and it appears we
      can't, unless we get access to the server itself, or leave the page open in
      a browser window (and have the page use a refresh tag)

        This is a FAQ:

          Then why does it have to be ASP? ASP is designed to run on a web server, to
          service requests from users running a browser, and return HTML.

          Sounds like the technology you want is VBScript (run through Windows
          Scripting Host and Windows Scheduler), or a C# or VB.Net app run through
          Windows Scheduler. If you're doing work only in the database, and you are
          using SQL Server, you can use a job with SQL Agent.

          However, since you don't have access to the server, you're going to have to
          use a kludge (if the code actually does have to live on the server; depends,
          really, on what it is doing). Locally, set up a VBS script that hits the
          ASP page (see http://www.aspfaq.com/2173 for syntax and usage of XMLHTTP,
          which is not just for ASP), and then set up a scheduled task locally.

          Maybe if you describe exactly what you are trying to accomplish, rather than
          "I need to run some ASP code every day," you might get a better set of
          options...

                  That's an answer isn't it?
                  there are some links to other articles that may provide ideas.

                      I agree this is the proper way to do that anyway. Doing that without server
                      access can only be a dubbed down solution.
