Is there anyway to write to a file outside of the MT4 directory using MQL4? The docs indicate FileOpen is restricted to the MT4 folder (actually to a folder within MT4).
I need to have an EA write to a file which is served up via HTTP.
Thanks in advance for assistance.

- read/write text file outside mt4 folders
- FileOpen and edit other directories?
- Multiple mt4 broker communication?

Actually just found a thread at https://www.forex-tsd.com/tools-utilities/386-mt4-files-functions-replacement.html where there's a DLL which sounds like it will accomplish what I'm after.
