Hi Brent, after a longer break I am now back on the Remote.Scripter-business. I am quite a beginner in the matter of web-development, firewalls and all that, although I am doing filemaker-programing since more than 15 years. That is only to inform you why I have to ask all these questions. I have a 2-machine-installation of filemaker server advanced, in addition an RDP-Server where all the Filemaker-Clients are working on, accessing the Filemaker Server internally. Let´s say Filemaker Server is machine FMS and Web-Publishing is on machine WP and Filemaker-Clients are on Machine RDP. For security-reasons, neither machine FMS nor machine RDP can see machine WP because WP is public and accessible by everyone while FMS and RDP are behind a firewall and only accessible by computers inside the internal network / VPN. What I need to do is I want the public Web-Publishing-user to be able to press a button and in the end he can download a PDF. If I install the Filemaker Pro on the RDP-machine, the Plugins starts nicely and also does in IWP, but if I press the button I receive the error 27 saying, “connection timed out / connect”. I assume that is because the WebPublishingEngine cannot forward the request to the RDP-Server behind the firewall where the Filemaker-robot is located – right? If I install the Filemaker Pro on the Web-Publishing-Engine I cannot open the Host which is the FMS behind the firewall. So what can I do now without getting trouble with the security-admins?

Hi Brent, thank you, I´ve got the Java up and running but regarding the question how many things I need to do I am still kind of lost. Maybe I tell you what I did and you tell me if I am right please? 1. I put the Plugin in the folder FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/wpc/Plugins and restarted Web-Publishing 2. I installed a Filemaker Pro on my Filemaker Server (I know not recommended) and also installed the Plugin and started it. Only then the IWP sayed its running in IWP, so I do not address the Script in the running Server? Do you think on a 2 Machine-Installation I put the Filemaker Pro-Copy on the WebPublishing-Machine or the Filemaker Database Machine? 3. I started IWP from outside and it worked but i feel like I am doing some detours here? I actually want exactly what you do in your demo, I need to provide pdf-files to external IWP-Users but I thought your Plugin would save me the extra Filemaker Pro Copy but it does not right?

Hi, I am having problems to install the Remote Scripter. You are asking for Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 1.5 or later, on one hand the Java Website tells me, that I have a version 6.sth but when I promt the java -version on the C: I get an error that I misspelled the name or that java does not exist. The download-link from the documentation wants to install 7.4, so I do not really understand this version-differences 1.5 or 7.4? What do I have to install now and why does the 6.sth-Java-Version not contain the JVM I need? I have a filemaker-server 11 advanced installation on 2 machines. Is it right, that when I want to use the Remote Scripter with IWP, that I have to install it on the computer that has the web-engine to make it run in IWP and also on the computer of my development-Filemaker-Pro-Client to use the functions etc.? Quite helpless as you can see :c( Nicola
