Linux webhost question
I want to upload to my site (from my phone) without FTP. Can I do this with a cron job to grab emails out of an inbox?

Sure - there's gotta be a script floating around out there that checks an inbox and yanks out all the attachments. Another option is using SCP / SSH if clients are available for your phone, which would also sidestep waiting on cron to poll your inbox.

Trying to avoid termimals because wtf is the path\filename of the pic on my RAM chip thing that I just took with my cellphone? Too damn long, that's what it is.

If the directory is always the same, you can just create a symbolic link to it with a super duper short name!
edit: nm, i just remembered you talking about having to 33355677722 it from your phone, so terminal action is gonna suck either way.

I could cobble together something in perl that should do the job well enough. I'll make sure to sign in to AIM tonight if you wanna hop on there and tell me what you want in there. (I'm even on AIM atm if you want to save me from being bored at work! But I think you're probably at work too atm??)

I am. If I had the script installed I'd upload a visual representation of my current misery.
