Hi everyone -- my department is running BASE version 2.12.1. We have some users outside our department, and their network connection is rather slow. At the moment, they're importing files rather circuitously: uploading them to our server for pre-processing, downloading the results, then uploading them to BASE via their browser. The end result is many round trips for large data files.
I'm wondering if BASE, perhaps through a plugin, supports importing files from the server it's running on. I found a message from 2007 about this idea http://www.mail-archive.com/basedb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00218.html but as far as I can see, this is not in BASE2. Have I missed anything? About the only other alternative I can think of is installing the FTP server plugin, then have the users connect via FTP from the server itself (ie, over the loopback interface). Is there any reason that would not work? Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find any other mention of "local import" on the -users or -devel mailing list. If I've left out any info, please let me know.
