Hi Sridhar, I don't fully understand your scenario.
You say an XS is not an option... but I thought you were using XS, with Jerry's help? If you are using XS, you can use Moodle. If there is no XS, then any webbased tool that offers a file upload form to post a file to share will work. You can install Moodle (even on Windows servers ;-) ), or Mahara, or WordPad or anything you like. In a pure-MS world, it will probably work with Sharepoint if it has a usable web frontend. Unfortuntely, there's no easy way to do it with CIFS or NFS -- it would be an interesting addition to Sugar (possibly to the Journal) but it's a big project. hth, m On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 3:42 AM, Sridhar Dhanapalan <srid...@laptop.org.au> wrote: > How can XOs copy files to/from their Journal with a server?
