	It sounds as if the simplest thing to do is to write a Dump
conduit that copies the .pdb file to the web server, in whichever manner
you prefer. Something like

	#!/usr/local/bin/perl
	use ColdSync

	StartConduit("dump");

	# The filename is given by $HEADERS{"InputDB"}.
	# Copy it to the web server.

	EndConduit;

Copying the file from the local desktop to the web server is left as an
exercise for the reader. Presumably either you have a form to do this, and
can use the various HTTP Perl modules, or you can just `scp' the file to
the web server, where it will be noticed by a cron job, or something.
