I've certainly thought about, my concerns: 1. It would be a little tougher for techs. It shouldn't be, but I just know it will. They are independent; roughly 5000 of them. They shouldn't have to install something in order to send us pics/workorders/etc. 2. Organization. There is no way to be able to sort the mass amounts of docs we receive every day. With something YouSendIt-ish that is email based, the submitter is forced to create a useful description, making it easier for us to determine the tech name, project, and site.
We do have a really sleek Project Database that my wonderful developer has created, and it allows uploads, and automatically files them for each tech/project/site. However, you can only upload 1 file at a time. Ideally, we need to create a Java-like interface to upload multiple files at once. I've seen many pre-made solutions for this that would work great. Thanks for chiming in with the advice, it's always welcome.

I mean, I can understand the need for pretty web GUIs when interfacing with the general public, but presumably you can just give your own people a canned Filezilla config or something along those lines. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
