Upload reports to apache web server?

[tonymartin]

I've enver used Crystal anything before, so please forgive me if this seems simple.
I have a CE8 machine on our internal network. We have a need for some
reports to be available to clients via our extranet, which is Solaris
2.6/Apache. I'd like to know the simplest way of doing this. I was
envisioning exporting the reports to HTML and having them FTP'd to the
extranet server, where they'd be available to clients. Is this possible?
Also, we have a firewall between the extranet and the internal network,
so I can't have any connections originate from the extranet box reach
the CE machine.

Thanks,

tonymartin

If you want to schedule to HTML out of the box, you are currently SOL.
If the report is static, does not need to be refreshed from the db, what you suggest could work with

tools.
Why not let the Apache web server access CE? There is a firewall doc on the support site. All you need is the web connector on the web server, open port 6401 to the CE system and the request port to the web server. Then schedule the report and place the resulting rpt file in a virtual dir on the Apache server. Or let the users access the eportfolio.
It's all in the document...
