I am new to this forum. I have been using GoAnywhere Director for a while and think it's great!
I have an old desktop machine I use to run a series of .bat files overnight. Each .bat file calls a classic ASP page on our Intranet. These pages perform various, complex routines and tasks on SQL server database tables.
My goal is to get rid of the desktop machine and get all the projects into GoAnywhere. This will take me a while.
In the mean time, is there a way to use GoAnywhere director to call the web pages so I can at least get rid of the machine and then gradually move my projects over to GoAnywhere projects?
I am currently running GoAnywhere Director ver. 4.0.0

GoAnywhere Director can call HTTP/HTTPS urls from within projects very easily.

Look under the Resources Menu and select the HTTP/HTTPS Servers item to create/test access to your resource. Once these have been configured and tested, you can call them from within your Project to make a direct URI call to a Webservice, etc.

I looked at that as an option, tried it and received errors. My web page is hosted internally at an address similar in structire to: http://home.company.com/form/department ... ething.asp

When I enter this as an HTTP/HTTPS resource I get an error as follows:

he host name cannot contain http:// or https:// and should not contain additional URI information. A valid value would be something similar to 'www.example.com' or '192.168.1.100'.

The errors you are getting are correct.

The HTTP Server Resource will automatically put what it needs to make the connection. All you have to give it is the DNS of the Server Location or the actual IP to the Server. The URI will be added from within your project.

If you continue to have issues with this, please call a Support technician and they can help you get this configured correctly!

Thanks!
