Hello all, I''m looking to setup a simple network "pasteboard" for files within my organization, to circumvent people trying to email 50 meg files and me being unwilling to open up our mail server for massive email transfers. I''ve seen the pasteboard idea elsewhere where you can go and paste code or log files or whatever, and then they just fall off an hour or a day later. Has anyone done this already with Rails? It seems like a pretty simple little app to write up, but I just wanted to ask first. One thing that might be tricky is making sure the application continues to operate while largish (700 MB? over a gig?) files are transferred into the pasteboard. thanks for everything List! -Andre -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Andre, Have you looked into using a CMS at all? - Robert Dempsey http://www.techcfl.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Yup, I''m currently using drupal 4.7.0. and in a way it''s kinda dumb to try tying Rails into the mix on a apache/php/mysql only server at the moment. it''s just that nothing jumped out at me within the drupal "arena". there is a file upload module and I spose with a little bit of database code I could have items fall off into the nether after a period of time...

No difference on it being 10mb or 1000mb. It''s just data written to the file system.> _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > >-- -------------- Jon Gretar Borgthorsson http://www.jongretar.net/

I know that PHP has several configuration options you''re going to hit at that level (well, *way* below that level). If it''s within your organization why wouldn''t a network share in which you automatically remove old files work just as well? Unless there are privacy issues... -philip
