One word:  ElevateDB.

Hi Tim,

<< One word:  ElevateDB.  >>

Lol.  Thought you might say that.  I'm assuming I would need to use EDB's replication functionality.  I don't want to have them remote connect to an EDB server because it would mean opening ports, port forwarding, etc., which is too technical for most of my customers.  So I'm assuming I would need to set up some sort of mechanism that transfers the changes between two (or more) EDB servers?

Hi Steve

Here is a suggestion from someone who hasn't done any of this stuff ...

Why not put the UPDATE files into something like DropBox?

I understand that you can use a DropBox API to transfer files up and down or
you could an http(s) POST/GET commands to fire them up into the clouds and
retrieve them.

Cheers

Jeff

Thanks Jeff.  Yeah, I was thinking along similar lines.  I noticed that TMS has released specific components for cloud services like DropBox.  Or I could have a PHP running on one of my websites to handle the transfers using HTTP as you suggested.
