I wanna share my files to clients.
Files are created in my server everyday. (ex. 20210701_A, 20210702_A ....)
Client will download today's file.
I already made choosing right file using python code.
But How can my clients download files from their own web?
(If possible, I want using Python)
I want to copy my own photos in a given web directory to my Raspberry so I can display them in a slideshow.
I'm looking for a "simple" script to download these files using python. I can then paste this code into my slideshow so that it refreshes the pics every day.
I suppose that the python wget utility would be the tool to use. However, I can only find examples on how to download a single file, not a whole directory.
Any ideas how to do this?
It depends on the server used to host the images and if the script can see a list of images to download. If this list isn't there in some form e.g. a webpage list, JSON or XML feed, there is no way for a script to download the files as the script doesnt "know" what's there dynamically.
Another option is for a python script to SSH into the server, list the contents of a directory and then download. This presumes you have programmatic access to the server.
If access to the server is a no, and there is no dynamic list then the last option would be to go to this website where you know the photos are and scrape their paths and download them. However this may scrape unwanted data such as other images, icons, etc.

I built a website in plain HTML and CSS. For quicker modification of the contents in the HTML file, I wrote a python script to dynamically change the file (open file, write to it, close). Is it possible to run this script or an executable file on a web hosting server in order to modify the HTML file? (I know, it might not be the best approach to the problem).
I am writing a program in python that will automatically download pdf files from a website once a day.
When trying to test I noticed that the files downloaded had the correct extension but they are very small (<1kB) compared to the normal size of about 100kB when downloaded manually.
Can a website block a program from automatically downloading files?
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Yes. Cloudflare can block bots from downloading files. Blocking is usually done by detecting the user-agent or including javascript in a webpage. I would examine the pdf file in notepad and see what it contains also try adding a user-agent option in your python code.
I have a Python 2.7 script that produces *.csv files. I'd like to run this Python script on a remote server and make the *.csv files publicly available to read.
Can this be done on Heroku? I've gone through the tutorial, but it seems to be geared towards people who want to create a whole web site.
If Heroku isn't the solution for me, what are the alternatives? I tried Google App Engine, but it requires Python 2.5 and won't work with 2.7.

I have a Python 2.7 script that analyzes all stocks that trade on the AMEX, NYSE, and NASDAQ exchanges and writes the output into *.csv files that can be read with a spreadsheet application. I want the script to automatically run every night on a remote server, and I want the *.csv files it produces to be publicly available.
Web hosting
Ok so you should be able to achieve what you need pretty simply. There are many webhosts that have python support. Your requirement is pretty simple. Just upload your python scripts to the web server. Then you can schedule a cron job to call your script at a specific time every day. Your script will run as scheduled and should save the csv files in the web servers document root. Keep in mind you don't need to your script to run in the web server, just on the same server. The web server will just serve your static csv files for you once you place them in the webserver's document root.
Desktop with dropbox
Another maybe easier option is take any desktop and schedule your python script to run on it each night you can do this in windows, Linux, Mac. Also install dropbox it gives you 2GB free online storage. Then your scripts just have to save the csv fies to the Dropbox/Public directory. When they do this they will automatically get synced to the dropbox servers and can be accessed through your public url like any other web page on the internet. You get 2GB for free which should be more then enough for a whole bunch of CSV files.
