Andre, Your the closest yet to what I was thinking about.  I did not think it was a good idea to have the cue sheets rebuilt on the server.   I was going to rebuild them on the desktop and push them to the server thru a special endpoint. Let me study the links you provided and well see if they

I just sent a request to HostM to see if they support rsync.  If they do then one option would be to create all of the pdfs and csv on the mac then rsync them to the server.  This leads me down a new set of unknowns... How do you set up rsync? I assume that there is some configuration required

Hi Mike, I think we are lacking some key information in order to solve your problem. Is your LC Server on a Mac? If so, what is preventing you from just dragging and dropping a folder of your files across the network from your desktop Mac to your LC (Mac?) Server computer? Once your files are
