 Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2003 8:01 pm Post subject: how can i configure abyss so that people can change files? |
 |
|
i need to make it so people can open up a word file directly from my website. When they edit the document file, i need them to just be able to hit "save" and the changes would be saved directly back on that file.
I know this is concidered a security hole but I really need this.
If possible, can i specify that this sort of thing can only apply to a specific folder?
Please reply.

Well, I don't know much about it but I have used it. Ftp. With a smartftp, you can edit pages form that website. You can also upload files and directories. But you will need to set up an ftp server, and I don't know how to do that.

noamkrief,
You can use a file manager/upload script. But people must do an extra step (i.e. saving the file locally, then uploading it using a script in your web site).
To save directly from MS Word, your must have WebDAV. Read http://www.webdav.org/projects/ for the list of software supporting WebDAV.
Some of them can be installed on Abyss and seem to be able to provide WebDAV support but none has been tested yet.
We'll give some of them a try and will give more feedback later.

aprelium admin! You're always so much help!
If i understand corectly, webdav will be a sort of plugin to abyss?
This will alow me to open a file directy from the server, and edit it in realtime?
I created MS access database. I also created a thing caled access pages which are html that link into the database.
Hopefully this will be my simple solution instead of converting to mysql and using php to connect.
thanks again

noamkrief,
Yes, you can think of WebDAV as a simple language to manage remote files (updates, creation, multiple versions, etc). WebDAV requests are sent on a HTTP connection (a web server/browser connection). So any web server with a script/plugin that understands WebDAV can do the job for you.
