Re: Web server update problem
A product called TILE will also provide a good method to publish a Lotus Notes
Database to HTML.

Lotus Notes would provide a great mechanism for administering the contents of
the WWW site. It has very complete authentication mechanisms. Then you could
use the InterNotes Publisher to convert the contents of a Notes database into
HTML for any standard HTTPD.

Subject: Web server update problem
Hi there
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to update the files
on a web-server through a firewall without having to
sit at the servers console or using a write protected HD
updated on the inside of the firewall ?
I am thinking of a solution where files being updated very often
on the "inside" are shipped every 5 minutes or so out to the
server automatically. But what protocol would be the most
appropriate to do the transport ? FTP ? UUCP ? Something else ?
Security of the web-server is important, therefore some kind of
authorization mechanism is needed. Probably that would be
Kerberos or a smart-card solution, any thoughts on this ?
One final question: are there currently any servers supporting
the PUT method ?
Thanks very much for your time / Frode
