>- see footer for list info -< Run a cfschedule daily on the surgery servers, which cfftps into your box, where you have all the files. It compares the date changed against the date of the version of the file on their server. If the version on the master server is more recent, download it and replace the version on the surgery server. Possibly using a txt file on the master server that lists all the changed files and their locations.

We are currently trialling some of our new software in the NHS, in particular doctors surgeries to remind patients of their appointment either via text message or test to speech voice call to their landline. We are interfacing to their Patient Management System (PMS - EMIS LV or Vision depending on their preference) to extract data on which to base the contact details and the appointment information. Due to NHS restrictions we are not allowed to remotely connect in to the surgery to retrieve data, as a result we have an application server sitting on site (thanks to BlueDragon) which connects to the PMS, gets the data and sends it out to us over a secure link. The query is this, from time to time we need to be able to release patches (to the CFM files or the ini files which interface to the PMS) on the BlueDragon server, at present I am having to physically visit the surgery and install the new files, no problem when there are only 2 or 3 but a nightmare as it expands (which if the stats are anything to go by will not be far away). What I want to do is have a script which runs regularly to check if there are any files which need to be downloaded, if so, download the files replacing the existing files and using these files in the next scheduled task. Would like to know if anyone has tried this before and has a recommended way of doing it or has any view points. Will be travelling for an hour or so but will be back online about 5pm.
