Hi, This is exactly what we need. The project directory, version control, auditing, and other routing meta-data could be pulled from local config or user-provided. When the upload completes then a notify-list is contacted via email or SMS. If it fails, then the sender gets contacted instead.
TG1 is very-well suited for this sort of application. Any chance that would become openSource code someday? I am familiar with OpenSSH and libssh2, but I will look at XUL- runner. thanks, Andy On Dec 23, 4:18 pm, bnf-austin <[email protected]> wrote: > Agree with Lee (above post).
