I had thought of that, but I'd just prefer to leave
it up to them to do all the work, and not have to check a folder and view files.
Besides, we're using SCP here and it's limited to
internal IP addresses, and i dont want open that can of worms.
I suppose I could also have the data mailed to a
certain email address, and use CFPOP to check it and update the data from
there. There's so many options....
Thanks

Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Clients DB
updating online datasource
CSV
via FTP
Not
saying it's better, but certainly easier to set-up.
Hi all,
I am currently designing a
website for another Organisation. It will be a basic directory-type website
of a load of items in a Database. The organisation maintains its own
database of items that will be published to the website.
There
will be no network link between this DB and the webserver, so I�m planning
to take a copy of this data into my own MySQL database, to be used as the
datasource for the website.
Getting the initial records (and
related jpgs etc) will be easy, but I have to decide how this data should be
updated. Off the top of my head, I can see two main options:
1.
Web Service:
I could write a SOAP Web Service using Cold
Fusion (have never done this before) to allow the client update the data
directly from their own end.
2. XML via form or URL variable:
The client send the relevant data to me in XML
format via a form or URL variable. The page this is sent to could process
the information, and output another XML file with a message �done� or and
error message.
For security here, I suppose I could request a username
and password field with each update. I could also restrict this to certain
IPs (I know this can be faked tho).
For the images here, they could be
submitted as form variables too.
I�m sure each of these have
their pros and cons. Has anyone any better ideas, or comments on either of
the above?
Thanks
