Hi All,

I have a web portal where users can register and view their orders, i need to build a new portal with .net core where users can view / download invoices and data files.

as i have loads of users i need to bulkuplad the files "my original thought was to create user directories then upload the data via ftp"

what is the best approach to achive this and are there any samples you can share.

thank you.

"as i have loads of users i need to bulkuplad"... sure?
I would say if _one_user has loads of invoices then 'bulk' makes sense but not in case where there are lot of users with 'some' invoices

i have 500+ users, every users have 4 documents generated every month, it is not ideal to click 500 times to upload 4 documents per user. that said it was just a thought.

Why you have to click? Think about to create the documents on the fly when requested by user

the documents are generated in a different system, i have the files stored on my PC.
i have a folder for evrey user already, i just need to upload the local directories on the server.

This sounds like a commercial operation. Maybe you should consider hiring someone to do it right.

It almost looks like you need 'something like'
- Sharepoint or
- WebDAV as a back-end and a new front-end or
- a backend file server for the static data (if you can't change how the documents are generated) and maybe something like a content manager (CMS) using something like Umbraco

I'd ditch the 'ftp' from your thoughts - even on Windows, SSH is good, secure, fast (I used to deploy software from Aus to an Azure server based in the East EU domain)

I think in some respects you seem to be heading down correct track, separating the 'front end' - user requests (files/data) and 'back end' - storage.. these days you could use all sorts of things for storage, Amazon, Azure etc

just thoughts :)
