I am having a hard time answering. I was hoping some of you with more
knowledge then I can give me some direction. I see all sorts of probems with
this, but am trying to figure out what to say to him. I believe the files
This doesn’t seem too hard.
I think I would first try using the FTP site as if it were a database. This may
be too slow, however, depending on the amount of content in the FTP server and
the load on the site, but I would probably add simple memory caching rather
than trying to sync a db.

This FTP site is not in my control. It is housed by a third party and as far

or control the directory/file structure in any way. Nor will we know ahead

Well, I’m not sure how you would generate a thumb of a specific PDF. I suppose
