I am using DNN for my company's intranet site. We want to post some reports from external systems on one of the pages. So, I set up the reports to export via ftp to root/reports in my DNN file system. They're available on-site now.
The reports are sent daily and I need to have the links to the new files available each day. If the file is pre-named, when it arrives in DNN, the file manager is appending (1), (2), etc. to the file each day for each duplicate filename in the directory. Furthermore, if I use DNN to create a link to a file, the link connects to the file's ID#, not name. So, if I were able to over-write the filenames each day, I still have new file IDs that will result in a dead link.
My workaround idea was to create an IFrame window that connects to the DNN directory containing the files that are FTPed. But, I'm either getting the URL wrong or this isn't possible. Any ideas? I don't want to resort to coming in and modifying these links to the new files every day...
I tried http://intranet.companyname.com/root/reports, http://intranet.companyname.com/portalroot/reports and neither of those has worked. It won't let me put in /reports or any other link without the http://.
Thanks for any help!
