[FX.php List] Uploading Files

[Dale Bengston]

Hi William,

On the web, it's preferable to leave the files in the operating  
system's file structure and reference them outside FileMaker. Instead,  
store any directory or subdirectory information in FileMaker and use  
that to create the download link.

Hope this helps,
Dale
