Online Storage Poser
Hi
If this is the wrong group, apologies, and please recommend a better group for it. My company has an online custom built Active Server Pages CRM system. It tracks all our clients, communications, and deals - via user input. We also store documents relating to those clients online. However, as our system & business grows, the online storage is becoming a problem because it's nearly 1GB worth of files already, and growing quite quickly. (It's very useful though, as it allows collaboration very easily.) Our web hosting company now wants to charge us for the additional space we are starting to use, and it's going to be quite expensive. I'm looking for an ingenious solution, and this is what I have in mind, if possible: The user navigates to the client page, and clicks the "Attach A File" button. The attach-a-file page is shown for that client. The user then needs to select the file on their local drive, and input a description, and click submit. The webpage then needs to: (1) insert a record in the database that this file now exists for this client, and (2) upload the file to a remote server, like Box.net or IBackup or something, via HTTP post or some FTP component (problems here with web host permission though), using the appropriate access details to log into that server, as the files need to remain private within our company, i.e. not be accessible by anyone that stumbles on the URL (if it happens). Do online storage companies provide some sort of tool that can do that? i.e. HTTP post with a username & password & filename (& directory name)? Would be great... Any ideas greatly appreciated. thanks |
