Hi
I need users to be able to download one or more files from a webserver (usually .dot files, MS Word templates). Then they should modify them (the templates are used to make various requests to the administrators), save them, and send them back to the server. I've been testing file uploads with the posting acceptor, but I really don't know how to do THIS.
The templates are to be called with a button. Assigning the buttons to open an URL to the .dot files opens them in a new window. Then the users can modify them and save them back to the webserver. However, they shouldn't have the possibility to overwrite the original templates. Instead, they should be able to download a copy of the files they need to send (by selecting one or more buttons that call such a file), modify them as needed and then send them back to the webserver, together with the contents of a form.
I can't find a way to start programming this. Perhaps there's a way to have people change a copy of the files directly on the web server (so no file upload is needed)? If not, how can I force the .dot files to be sent back to the server as soon as the user closes them?
Any tips would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
