T2K over the Internet

Is it possible to have only one database and have a group of publishers to work on it over  a local  area  network (LAN)?   The answer:   Yes and it’s simple, when and if the network is already established.   There are  a few things you must do. Let’s outline these:

1.) You create a share location on  pc1.   This pc1 will be your acting server.
2.) On this server, you will share T2K’s Back-end database.  
3.) Then, you have the publisher’s pc’s map a network drive to pc1’s shared path.
4.) Link their Front-End database to the Back-end PC1

Here’s an article that explains file sharing:   Practically Networked

As you can see, it’s not too hard …to create a network environment and have a group of publishers work on the same database.   Okay, this is great, but what about working over the internet?   Yes, even this is possible, but you will need some third party tools to make this happen, like netdrive or webdrive.   These client applications make it possible to map a network drive to an FTP or “webdav” source.   At the same time, these tools have settings so you can configure the permissions you already enable at the server side.   Therefore, when making a connection over the internet, make sure to have your server location secure and away from public access.

You can take advantage of networking and have a group of publishers easily populate a single database by having the front-end T2K link to the Back-end T2K database.
