I think it's actually Amazon EC2 or another inexpensive virtual server maintained by a cloud services provider that you'd want to go with, to do it all with standard UNIX software. Is this something I would want to do via AWS or a similar service? posted by slogger to Computers & Internet (15 answers total) I'm thinking of something like this: report is exported to dedicated email client script or macro recognizes email, grabs CSV file, then transfers to FTP server via FileZilla (or Fetch or some similar FTP client).ĭifficulty level: I have pretty much no chops as a developer, with no IT department and no budget.īonus points: if something like this is doable, would it be worthwhile to post it to Mefi Jobs? I could probably get my vendor to cough up a few bucks to help make it happen. I could also create a dedicated email address, either using our company's Microsoft 365 account, or a free service like Gmail. I would also be able to use any type of email client and FTP client on a somewhat dedicated machine. I would be able to use either Mac or PC to handle this transaction. I'm thinking of something like a script or a macro (or an OS X Automation), but I'm not sure where to begin. Unfortunately both sides are pretty rigid here: the vendor insists that the file must be left on an FTP server (either mine or theirs, preferably theirs) and the only way to automatically export the report from my system is via CSV attachment in an email.
