Hi Stefano,

it is not directly foreseen in the web functionality of ELOG, but it can be done like this:

You could have a second logbook that has the content of these files each in one logbook entry. 
You call a script "Execute edit =" that runs on the server and converts the specific ELOG entry into a file on the server.
Of course this is a security vulnerability, but you can confine the possibilities of the script.
E.g. to a hard-coded list of ELOG entries and files in a specific directory.
Still, someone could place a file on the server and then calls that file with an "Execute edit=" himself.
But if you do all this within a protected network that should be okay.

I do like the idea, thank you for the question! If you manage to do it please post it under Contributions :-)

Cheers, Andreas
