Uploading in background

[Fabian]

My users like using a FTP client as they can upload files "in the background" and keep working in FM. When I want them to upload the files straight through FM, I get compliance issues because of this (files could be 500Mb). If the file is already on the FMS I do PSoS, but when it's on the client desktop using FM will block them from working in FM during upload.

Is there a good way to achieve uploading from the client in the background, without blocking FM?

Hi Fabian,

FileMaker Pro is single threaded so as far as I know you have to wait for the script to execute completely.  I am not aware of a way around this other than using PSOS. You may be able to post this in a more generalized section of the forums to see if there are FM users that know how to get a script to execute client side without having it "lock down" FileMaker.
