The cart needs to the same, since a script

So if you label each ID "stationlocation-somenameforid.mp3" each remote
site can be set up to download all tracks prefixed with
"stationlocation" from your server Dropbox/Cloud or whatever.
Thats a script that can run once every /hour/day/week
Then the same or a second script can CART the new audio replacing the
existing audio [or not]
I use Dropbox for long programmes. Short items get downloaded direct
from the server. How you do it depends on the resources you have in each
place.
My preference is rsync because it has more [ to my mind] reliability.
It's easy enough to map a Dropbox to a folder on each remote, but really
you only want each remote to get it's unique data so rsync from your
main site is all that is needed. Add some logging and send it to an
email you will read.
I prefer running my own dropbox to using a service. One less thing to go
wrong and 100% control.
This is an edited version of a script I use to pull down and cart audio
on the same cart at several sites. Run by cron as needed. No passwords
if you setup keygen

I port shift 22 on the server to a port in the 10000 range at every
site. This is done in the local router. Never allow port 22 access from
anywhere. In some places I have several machines each with it's own ssh
port. rsync, ssh, do all the heavy lifting. In one case I have an inter
continental sync running every hour with a [very] variable grade
wireless connection at one end. It just works.
hope this helps

Robert
