Some general stuff about how we are set up then my questions.

Our organisation has a web site based around mcms 2002. We use scripts
developed by a third party, to export content from our authoring server, ftp
the sdo to the live server (hosted externally) and import the sdo on the live
server. These three scripts are executed using Windows scheduled tasks, 3
times a day.

Users requested that we develop functionality, which would permit them to do
immediate uploads, for example, a facility like a school is shut owing to
severe weather.

Thanks
David

Nestle idea was to grant users access to site manager, let them export the
page and then use a web application to ftp it to the live server. We could
then develop a Windows service to monitor a folder on the live web server for
sdo files, which would execute the vbs import script.

Basically had to abandon this idea, not all the users would be site manager
administrators and therefore have access to the export option. Also, our
infrastructure security would not permit users access to site manager from
home.

Hi David,

you would need to add code to the export script that changes the permissions
on the file.

Cheers,
Stefan
