Hi all,
Hope this is the right place to ask this. I'm a bit
unexperienced with web development so this may be a really
rookie question.
I trying to make a web interface for getting files. The files
can be .PDF, .DOC, .XLS, .TXT. The problem is that the files
are stored in a Interbase database (in blob fields) and should
be availiable by either two ways: as a link to be able to
download (with the right click of the mouse on "Save target
as...") or with a direct click on it the user should be able to
view it on the browser.
Opening files on a web site through the browser is easy, but
the problem is that the files won't be directly on the web
site, they'll be stored in a Interbase server and the web
server will access these files as data.
The reason why? It'll be a type of web interfaced document
library with more than 15000 files, and most of the files
require clearance by passworded access.
Any sugestions? Ideas? I don't know what/how I could use
(although I would prefer Intraweb, I've already got some
playtime with it) to make something like this?
I'm using D7.
Thanks a lot.
Andrew
