Connecting to a scanner

[om1d_h]

We are developing a web based accounting system.
We have a server runnig Linux (switching to win is ok) and some clients all runnig win.
In the program clients neeed to scan some document attachments and upload them to our servers.
Some recommended to use Java applets.
what do you say?
Where can we find them?

Hi everyone,

You can use applets but i would recommend applications as there would be less restrictions. You can create a simple ftp, https or http uploader or downloader using standard java classes and sockets.

Here is a good place for you start.

If you do not like the way the URL class works you can crteate your own custom java Server using ServerSocket that implements threads and a custom
application that uploads their documents to your server using sockets

I hope this has helped you

Yours Sincerely

Richard West
