Hi all,

I'm planning on building an asset management tool for our local network.
I have a question I would like to ask:

Is it possible to use PHP/MYSQL/JS etc. as a "metadata" structure and
when trying to retreive a file (mostly files over a 100MB) not sending
it over http, but use some other (faster) way for that, like calling a
batch script or something (I understand there are security issues to be
dealt with), but using the local network infrastructure. Or would FTP be
an option... trying to explore all possibilities, but haven't got very
far at this stage.

Any other suggestions or links to similar software would be great!

Thanx,
-Johan
