Output data to local drive

I have a job which has been added to FME Server. I would like a user to log into FME Server and run the workspace but allow them to process a textfile on their local drive and output a shapefile to their local drive also. The workspace connects to Oracle Spatial to retrieve some data also.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

I assume you do not want to upload and download the file then? The only think that comes to my mind is to have a network share (on your computer) that FME Server and you have access to, and that you use the UNC-path as reference in the workspace when running it. Do you have a common place that both you and FME Server can access?
