[CLOSED] ReportCaster: How do I send the report to a shared drive file folder?
I simply want the generated report to go to a folder on a shared drive. Do I use the EMail, FTP, or Report Library option for distribution?
Thanks!

Hi JALDbaDev,

I think it depends on your requirement, if you just want to save report on particular folder you can just use something like this

-SET &FILEPATH ='C:\Path\ReportName.html';
FILEDEF SAV DISK &FILEPATH
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT  SALES
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS SAV FORMAT HTML
END
  


If the folder is on different machine then FTP would be best option.

Report Library is good way if the user has access to Report library content and knows how to use it.

Thanks for your reply. I will concentrate on the FTP solution then...and will report back once I have results.
