I'm writing a python Script that handles user uploaded files (among other things). I'd like users to be able to overwrite files and looking at the API update_data() appears to be what I want. I did notice the caveat that it was callable by Python only, but no good explaination as to whether this meant just External Methods or Scripts or something else. And, sure enough when I try and use the Script I'm shown a login box and asked for authentication (even when the admin already). When I cannot authenticate I'm told that I don't have the proper permissions. So, there are two questions here, 1. just what is allowed to call update_data() 2. is there something else that I can call instead? Cheers, -- Bryan C.
