How to store images in a folder on the server

in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

I am running FM10 Server and need to be able to allow my clients, (mac and PC) to be able to store images in the same shared location. Currently, these images are stored within the FM Database. However, I really need to be able to sync the images to a website as well.

So, I was thinking that I could store them in the database, as normal, and then schedule a script that exports the updated images to a shared location and then I can have another program running that will keep the image location synchronized with the website.

However, Export Field Contents is not available server-side. Any ideas?

Use SuperContainer.

I have not yet used it myself but the general feedback from others around the 'net is extremely positive.

Alternatively...

Run a cron job to execute a Filemaker file on the server using FileMaker Pro client. The export field contents is available then.

FM says you can't run FMP whilst FMS is active - but that only applies to file sharing.
