How do I store a file on a remote machine?

Classic Servoy

Roberto Blasco:
This’s an example how to use a JSP to upload any file to a Tomcat server (like Servoy server).

…

Just checked this out. Nice example.

Roberto Blasco:
How this example works…

Hi Roberto,
I’m trying to use your jsp-example for JasperReports. The report should be stored from the servoy server side in a default direction for all remote clients without any vpn-connection. Do you have an idea how this could be working? I am struggling with the function post() in your JSPUpload sample solution.

Thomas

Hi tgs.

The example I posted uploads files from clients to server side. What you want to do is to send files to the client from the server. To do it, you need to install a server (Tomcat) in every client you want to send the files.

I think the best way would be to say the clients that there’re files to download.

Hello Roberto,
thank you for your very fast reply!

I would like to generate a jasperreport (pdf) and store the file in a direction on a second server (for groupware). This is no problem for the clients in the loacal network, but for remote clients. What I need is a functionality like servoy server side setting for the path to store the generated file.

Hi tgs

What kind of servers are you gonna install in the clients side, Servoy, genuine Tomcat?

In both cases the way to do it is the same. Just “put” the jsp like I said in this thread and send the files to the clients pointing their IPs.

Best regards. Roberto.

Thank you Roberto,

I don’t want to install anything on the client side. The direction for the file to store is on the remote network.
Anyway, I will try to “put” the jsp to the store direction and reply how (or if) it works.

Best regards
Thomas

Hi tgs.

The jsp needs something to work, servoy o Tomcat in this case.

¿Are the clients/server into the same intranet?.

Best regards. Roberto.

Good morning Roberto,

the clients they need the solution are outside of the intranet! I do need a solution for clients only connected over the internet by http/https to the servoy server.
For clients in the intranet I don’t have any issues.

Friendly regards, Thomas

Hi tgs.

There’re several ways of sharing files between computers

  • shared networks
  • ftp
  • jsp
  • http
  • serial
    … and so on…

The only way to skip the cliet/server architecture is a shared network. Over the rest, the computer who is going to receive de file needs “something” to understand what kind of data is coming, so we need a server.

May be the solution is to made the relationship between the computer and the client interactive, so the client MUST select the files to download.

Best regards. Roberto.
