title: Transfer data from Raspberry Pi to Online Server
body: <p>I'm relatively new to using Raspberry Pi's and Web Servers, but I'm working on a project where I want to read an ID number off a RFID card using a scanner and transfer that ID number to an online web server that contains a SQL database using a Raspberry Pi.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to transfer the ID number from the Raspberry Pi to the online server?</p>
  
  <p>I've looked online and most articles talk about creating a web server on the Pi, but is that necessary? Is there any way just to send a string or CSV file straight from the Pi to the SQL database on the online server? If so how would I go about doing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
