Looking for a solution to sync or otherwise an image folder that is uploaded to by clients in a Staging server and mirrored or copied to the Production website.

Hello Experts,

I have a client that uploads blog images via the DMZ in a STAGING server ( using an ASP Upload DMX plugin ) however I would like that folder mirrored to the PRODUCTION website.

In order for me let the, use the form to upload to the STAGING server , I had to give that Internet Account in Security to modify so that it can upload the images.
Of course I cannot give the Internet account on the PRODUCTION website anything more than read.
Thus my dilemma.
I am not a wizard so any viable solution would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

Using ASP Classic, VBScript, Windows 2008 Server , both servers are in the DMZ with the same domain.

can you give a specific application special permission and write your own sync app (ASP.Net/C#/VB.Net?) to run in the background (CGI?) being called everytime a file is copied to the STAGING area to copy to the PRODUCTION area?

makes sense. what about creating a different internet account that has read/write access ONLY on this particular site? or are you uncomfortable giving ANY account that kind of access?

if that's the case, you may better off writing a vbs script that runs under Scheduled Tasks, and does that file transfer directly that way
