File sharing / uploads

First of all: a massive thanks for mojoPortal. Got to rate 110% on the karma meter. Saw a reference on StackOverflow and am wondering why I did not spot this before wondering into the morass that is Sharepoint :)

What I'd love to be able to give my users is a little desktop app(let) that does some zipping etc and then uploads to a default folder, adding comments, etc. etc.

Is the upload mechanism accessible as a web service, or can one be bolted into place?

Any clues on how to proceed would be welcomed. I would be happy to contribute any resulting work back to the community.

ATB

Thx++

Jerry

Re: File sharing / uploads

Hi Jerry,

We don't have any built in file upload service that is designed to work with a desktop app. In the web application we have an authenticated user and we control upload permissions and locations based on roles. So we depend on the authentication cookie and role cookie features of being a web application. You would have to build your own service and figure out how to pass in credentials securely. Maybe you could use a web browser control (if it can accept cookies) inside your desktop app and create your own custom web page for it to use based on example code in mojoPortal.

Best,

Joe
