| Oh, the reason why I didn't want to download it is because the .zip
| file is 680 MB, and contains 16,000 .jpg files (very hard to work
| with). It's FTP'd to us (it's the realtor IDX method of data
| transfer), so it's already on the webserver, we just need to extract
| the pictures from it and put it in another folder. At first, the issue
| was the bandwidth. Imagine receiving that file, then downloading it,
| then uploading it again. It would have killed us, but we changed
| hosting providers to get around that.
| Now it's just ease of use. We have a high speed connection, but it
| would take forever to get all of those pictures uploaded through
| frontpage's import feature - and that's' if it doesn't lock up first.
| Plus, we're supposed to get an incremental update for this file every
| night (I haven't seen it yet), but it would arrive via FTP also. I
| don't know how big it will be, but I imagine it would contain new
| pictures recently added to the system, and instructions for what to
| delete. Could you imagine the time it would take to wait for a web
| folder full of 16,000 pics to open?
| Is there a way to do this with scripting? I was beginning to think I'd
| have to put us on a dedicated server so we could add the components for
| a script to unzip that file and keep it up to date. We're on a Windows
| platform, so the only options I can think of are ASP and javascript.
| But, like I said, there is currently no ASP archive program installed
| on the server. We do have the ASP upload component on our webserver,
| and I was thinking of writing a script to upload the files from my
| hard-drive to the webserver, but I'd have to download the .zip file and
| extract it & I prefer to automate things when and where I can.
| How would you handle this? Have you ever setup a realtor idx website?
| I have posted to several message boards, but I'm not getting any
| response for this.
