Any way to Export Field Content from a container field on the server (PSOS)?

Is there any way to export field content from a container field on the server, running as PSOS?

Maybe with a free plugin? I was experimenting with BE_ExportFieldContents, but without success.

I need to send emails from the server, as the solution runs as WebDirect, and emails may have multiple attachments.

I was thinking, instead of adding content to container fields, would it be a viable alternative to store only the links to the files in the DB? Would the server handle that better?

Thank you.

Maybe you should concentrate on this, because IMHO that would be your easiest path.

Alternatively, you could use the Write to Data File[] script step. I have not yet tried this with data from a container filed, but others have reported success.

Found the solution. BaseElements requires OS paths and not fmp paths. 

On a mac you just prepend "/Volumes" before your regular fmp path

Ex: "/Volumes" & Get(temporarypath) & "the_exported_file_name"
