2606 -
260601 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000, ref SDS 2 0000.
260602 -
260603 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary following up work on 040929 when Cal
260604 - provided names of people to contact, ref SDS 3 XB3Y, about setting up
260605 - normal FTP ops for SDS on a Aerospace company server running under the ACE
260606 - system. ref SDS 3 9191
260608 -  ..
260609 - Gary's letter says...
260610 -
260611 -    1.  I am trying to find a way to establish a web server with access
260612 -        controlled via ACE. The text below describes the reasons for
260613 -        wanting to do this. ref DRT 1 0001
260615 -         ..
260616 -    2.  I believe it to be technically feasible based on having seen it
260617 -        done. That setup was somewhat experimental, and I would like
260618 -        this to reside on ACE servers under Aerospace company control. ref DRT 1
260619 -        WB5K
260621 -         ..
260622 -    3.  While it is possible to set permissions on a Aerospace company intranet
260623 -        site, that 1) can't be shared with ACE users outside Aerospace company,
260624 -        and 2) requires that permissions be maintained, all of which
260625 -        ACE does very well. ref DRT 1 VA5O
260627 -         ..
260628 -    4.  Is this something that you can assist with, or can you point me
260629 -        in the direction of someone else? Thanks, ref DRT 1 NC6K,

260633 - Gary cites in an attachment, the following reasons for needing FTP
260634 - operations on the company intranet, which were submitted previously on
260635 - 040924. ref SDS 2 3I6I
260637 -         ..
260638 -    5.  We are using a program, the Schedule Diary System (SDS), that
260639 -        generates HTML files in a date-based directory structure.
260640 -        ref DRT 1 AE86
260642 -         ..
260643 -    6.  We want to be able to share those files with their connecting
260644 -        hyperlinks on an ACE-accessible intranet. ref DRT 1 AE87
260646 -         ..
260647 -    7.  The need for a conventional web server derives from the fact
260648 -        that URLs are generated based on dates, so we need to be able
260649 -        to predict what the URL will be at the time the URLs are
260650 -        generated instead of having to figure them out after the files
260651 -        are uploaded. Also, these records track meetings, briefings,
260652 -        phone calls, documents, and similar events, so that are likely
260653 -        to be several a day. The program generates a directory
260654 -        structure for upload, which is easy with WS_FTP. These records
260655 -        are often updated several times a day to support the creation
260656 -        of forward links to follow-on work. Having to do manual uploads
260657 -        as is done in ACE would be prohibitively time consuming.
260658 -        ref DRT 1 AE84
260660 -         ..
260661 -    8.  The need for access control via ACE derives from several
260662 -        points:
260663 -
260664 -           1.  The content is  combat IS&T MS&I specific. Access needs to
260665 -               be restricted to those who need to have the information
260666 -               rather than being available on (for example) the Aerospace company
260667 -               general intranet. ref DRT 1 AE4F
260669 -                ..
260670 -           2.  Access needs to be extended outside Aerospace company to some SAIC
260671 -               personnel, and perhaps to customer (Army)
260672 -               representatives, which ACE allows. ref DRT 1 AE5P
260674 -         ..
260675 -    9.  I hope this makes the need clear. If you need any further
260676 -        information, please let me know. ref DRT 1 AE55
260678 -  ..
260679 - Additional requirements for FTP to support "virtual office," and
260680 - "paperless office" capability were developed on 040924. ref SDS 2 JY3O
260682 -  ..
260683 - Contact with Gary needs to be followed up on setting up ACE with FTP
260684 - for working intelligently.
