Is it possible to make an autohotkey script (gui window or button) send information to an online source. I know that a script can get information from the web, but can it upload information or send emails?

[Icarus]

Depending on your need, there are numerous ways to achieve this.

I use Blat command line mail sender to send mails, and the built in Windows FTP console client to upload files using FTP.

If you are looking to upload content to a site with an "upload" button, thats something I have not attempted, so cant help you there.

HTH.

wait sorry im not too experienced. how would you incorporate that into an ahk script?

[Icarus]

You use the Run or RunWait commands to execute the external application.

run,%comspec% /k blat.exe example.txt -server smtp.web.ch -u Username -pw password -to [email protected] -f [email protected] -s Comment:Test! -log log.txt

or send also attachment

ok so if i wanted to simply send an email to an adress with just a body message (mabye a subject line) what would i do?

Check out this page for a simple tutorial on the MailTo command. I use it for a series of routines I employ daily.

Hope that helps

Gary

[JeremysDad]

hmm would it be possible to just send a message (without using outlook) through a gui?

The MailTo command activates the default email client. I haven't tried to do so by any other method.

another example with vmailer

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but is it possible to send an email securely with BLAT.exe?

Also, how do you carriage return for the subject line?
