I’m using windows server 2008, and one of the things I need to do in order to pair to a domain name is send a file with the computers current IP address (it’s not static) to a server via sftp every few minutes. The problem is that I’m not sure how to do this.

    I would send it via XMPP. You can set up a listener service for the server.

    Send an xmpp message using a python library

    Here are some ideas on XMPP servers to run on your IIS server (listening to recieve the incoming messages from clients http://metajack.im/2008/08/26/choosing-an-xmpp-server/

    Pretzel looks nice

    this python code can be run client side to get the public IP address. 

    host, aliaslist, lan_ip = socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())
print host
print aliaslist
print lan_ip[0]

    Than you would send via XMPP message containing the IP to the server you have set up on your IIS server. Depending on what you want to do with the IP address once it gets to the server, you will handle the message serverside
