Server Based Referenced Files in Container Fields

Featured Replies

I have a cabinetshop that has several databases which are hosted on a webserver that I rent space on.

I have them on this server so that I can upload drawings from a remote location and have the guys be able to access them directly in the shop.

The current workpath is to upload a PDF document directly into a container field.

I periodically purge unused records because the file size gets bloated and performance starts to slow down.

I would like to make more use of referenced images rather than imbedded images but don't know how to make this happen with the web hosted server.

I know that I could have a master folder with referenced files if this whole system was on a local network.

How would I go about achieving the same effect with remote access to the referenced file?

Have a look at SuperContainer from 360Works instead.

I doubt that your hosting provider will open up ports for regular file sharing (which you would need for referenced containers).

Thanks Wim.

This looks really interesting.

My intuition thinks it is just what I am looking for.

I didn't realize that FM Forums has a section just for Super Container.

I think I will go there next.
