changed the universe:> I was informed by my partner that we are using the plug-in, not the cgi. > I'm a little concerned because our customer may upload a new dataset > several times a day. Will that create a problem for our other accounts > running on the same server?To make it clear: the upload itself has nothing to do with WebCat. It is a simple ftp upload to a certain folder. I think you have more ftp uploads a day - so two or three more will not count.WebCat starts working when it encounters a file in the special folder.> We tried to get our customer to do this online but the data is already > being entered into Filemaker Pro...This is usual and far better than building a database with some funny editor like Word or Excel ;-)FileMaker guarantees a valid export file every time and you don't get unusable data onto your server. Be happy!>...and they don't want to enter it twice.They would be crazy...Let them upload the complete file every time: less work for the web-interface, no troublessynchronizing the web database with a local one (!), all responsibility for data integrity at the customer side.
