All sounds great. However I'm really busy with my day job at the
moment, so don't have much time for implementing new stuff like
this. It would take a fair bit of work, it's not a trivial request.<br>
<br>
Would you still allow user uploads? Or would the ZendTo server for
this service be dedicated to it? If so, we could replace the upload
process with a pick-a-file-from-a-list instead. But that would need
major changes to the data structures and database too, as you
wouldn't have a fresh copy of the file for each drop-off, you would
just pick a file from an existing set.<br>
<br>
This would be quite a major project.<br>

<p>I think that's a great idea as we need to make firmware patches
and software updates available on an adhoc basis. I would go
further and allow local users to flag an upload as having a
specific expiry date and also have a 'does not expire' tick box.</p>

Hi Jules,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have just started setting up a Zend.to box and have it all
working well! Fantastic work!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I was considering our requirements and one thing that we come
across frequently is the need to send the same file to lots of
people. Not necessarily at the same time like a multiple drop
off. And I was thinking that an admin run library of "official
files" that any user could create a new drop off for would be
a really nifty way of achieving this. A critical distinction
between the multiple dropoff and a library use is the
different dropoff codes for each user entered instead of a
single code for a multiple. This would allow the tracking of
each request for pickup individually. The created dropoff
shoudl expire with the regular timeframe.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For example an IT company has a pre-confiured remote support
program that they send to a user when they need remote help,
this file is the same for everyone. At the moment a new
request needs to be created and the file dropped off
everytime. This same scenario with a library the user would
login, select the library and then create a new dropoff with
the clients email of the file from the library. The original
file is stored on the Zend.to box and is not subject to
manipulation except by administrators.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
