Publishing databases on the web
With FileMaker Pro, you can use Instant Web Publishing to publish
your databases in a web browser, allowing users to find, browse, and
modify data.
Using Instant Web Publishing with FileMaker Pro accounts and
privilege sets, you can make your web databases secure.
Note FileMaker Pro Instant Web Publishing supports the sharing of
files with up to 5 concurrent users. Use FileMaker Server Advanced
if you need to share files with more than five concurrent web users.
To work with a published FileMaker Pro database, users need:
1 web browser software
1 access to the Internet or an intranet. Access to the Internet requires
an Internet service provider (ISP); FileMaker does not provide an
account for you
1 a host computer with continuous access to the Internet or intranet
via TCP/IP
1 the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that hosts your
database files
You can publish your databases as web pages within a local network
or intranet, or to users on the web. You don’t have to change your
database or use additional software.
For more information, see the FileMaker Instant Web Publishing
Guide
in the Electronic Documentation folder inside the English
Extras folder.
