The number of replies going in different directions seems to indicate that you should take a look at How (Not) To Ask A Question and How do I post a question effectively?.

There are any number of answers to your question, depending upon the requirements that you have and what you are already doing in your script. You could create the file locally, and copy it to the remote machine using ftp, sftp, or scp. You could open a port just for this, accepting the remote file via this port, and then feed the new file contents back over the port to the connecting/authenticating machine. You could copy the remote file to a local temp file, and run some checks/edits of it's contents and then copy it back, or any of the other suggestions that you have received.

Personally, I tend to favor using an existing protocol, such as scp or rsync plus ssh. Whether you just copy a standard file to the remote machine mostly depends upon whether these files are going to have/need local changes made to them.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
