I'm using a CCTV server that includes an embedded Linux OS and an embedded Apache webserver. I made a webpage that displays the video. What I'd like to do is make another webpage that will save a simple text file back onto the server.
I think that means I need server-side processing, which I've never done. I get the sense that a .CGI script would usually be the way to save something on the server, but since the server is embedded, I don't seem to have access to its \cgi\bin\ directory. Does that rule out .CGI? And PHP?
The machine does have a number of .JAR files on drives I can access, so I'm thinking Java is going to be the way I should go on this.
I'd really appreciate any opinions about whether or not this is the way to go, before I dive into learning a new language just for this...
