[OSGeo-Discuss] SAP & Maps

[Mauricio Miranda]

Well, that's a solution but I was looking for, it's a kind of webservice
based solution because these both servers (SAP and Mappping) are
completely separate, even they are in different countries. I know I can
copy the file using scp or rsync but a web service would be really
perfect.

Any idea?
