Accessing .ini files from another server - Universal - 27.06.2012

Hi everybody, so today I got a question. Lets say I have my SA-MP server on one host, and my web on another. I want to make an UCP, but my server's using .ini file system. Can I access those .ini files of my server, from my UCP host?
Thanks for help.

No.
You need MySQL for making UCP.
'nuff said.

Yes, you can using PHP and the FTP functions within PHP.

You don't need to, it's possible to use FTP functions to access the INI files.

If you don't know what you're talking about don't post (consider this an official warning - I've noticed a few of your posts about with bad information). MySQL is NOT the only way to make a UCP and the OP didn't even ASK about MySQL so why bring it up?

Anyway, there are MANY methods of sharing files. Possibly one of the simplest would be to install WebDAV on the web server and use it to mount a directory with "davfs2" directly in to your scriptfiles folder (assuming Linux, but it's possibly on Windows too). That way you don't even need PHP at all - the SA-MP server will see the remote files as if they were local ones.

Thanks for such a detailed post, ******.

What about me? My post was correct; MySQL is not the only way, you can use FTP and I'm sure there are other ways.
