texte = Hello diehards- I have a set of templates that can rename files from one company's naming convention to another company's (these are digital images). The files are nested in directories that have the same name as the individual files like so: 004569xxb (folder) |________004569xxb01.jpg (file) |________004569xxb02.jpg (file) |________004569xxb03.jpg (file) 004569xxc |________004569xxc01.jpg The files are rather large (~7 MB each), and there are typically ten thousand in a customer's directory, so sending them out over the internet is out of the question. Is it possible to have access to the file structure on a customer's hard drive (with their permission of course) so they could run my template from their browser, and have it operate on the files on their hard drive - perhaps with a combination of JavaScript + WebDNA? The solution needs to preserve the original create dates, times and permissions. I would typically be guiding the user through this over the phone while connecting to his PC with Remote Desktop or VNC. Images to be converted would be on Windows 2003 server, Windows 2000 and Windows XP boxes. As always, your input is greatly appreciated... -Will PS: Can anyone say "WebDNA embedded" ;) PPS: A gold star and 3 brownie points to Jesse Proudman for helping me get the templates working... -- Will Starck NovaDerm Skincare Science http://www.novaderm.com helpdesk@novaderm.com 866-892-4149 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
