Hi,

Basically, you can't do that.

The MMSFILE parameter can only point to a URL, not a local file. (It would be a security issue to allow users to reference arbitrary files on the local PC over an HTTP request.)

If you want to send using a local file, you could check out the following PHP script:

I would like to use php but am null in that language.
So I put my file in another web server but I have the same error
Must I add something to the server?

No, you shouldn't have to add anything to the other web server.

I assume that you can fetch the same exact URL from that web server with your browser without any problem?

Are you using a proxy server configured in your web browser to access that other web server. (That would be an issue, because when NowSMS retreives an MMSFILE reference over HTTP, it cannot use a proxy server, it expects to be able to connect directly.)
