To make the question more specific--if that helps--I would like to have one server run a script that accesses ExtFile objects in one particular Folder on the other server and create copies of those objects on the calling server on a timed basis using something like the Xron product.
Sure. You could use ZSyncer which does the same thing in the opposite direction (push rather than pull). Or modify it to do pull. Or you could roll your own solution using your choice of approaches... plain http GET & POST using urllib2; xml-rpc (zsyncer code might be a useful example); or ZPublisher.Client (zsyncer in current CVS uses this, thanks to Dieter Maurer) which is actually simpler and faster than xml-rpc. For scheduling, you could use xron (never used it myself), cron + wget or similar, or maybe play with this stuff by Chris McDonough: http://plope.com/Members/chrism/scheduling_service http://plope.com/Members/chrism/more_scheduling -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
