Share data between applications

[Robyf1]

Hello,

is there a way to share data between different applications without using files?

Yep. W-a-y back before "files" we used Punched Tape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_tape

Probably if both applications are in memory and running at the same time, but maybe you should focus the question more--maybe the operating system and what kind of data and timing, etc.

Hello,

A little bit more info would be preferred, but I guess here are some generic answers:

I guess you could use SQL databases, but don't quote me on that as I have only done limited MySQL in my life.
Also you can only use SQL for variables, nothing too large and most advise against storing actual files.

For actual files, FTP servers?

Everything is a file somewhere, in some form. The answer to this question varies on what you consider a file.

I hope I helped,

sorry if I didn't,
