Need a bit of help with a project im working on.
I have a network with about 1200 shops connected to it.
Now i need outside users to be able to connect to each shop to pull a jpg image.
But i dont want alot of rules / port forwarding
I would like SERVER01 to grab the jpg's from the shops and store them locally in directories. The jpgs are HTTP (http://camera01/jpeg/) and not stored in a folder.
So i want users to be able to HTTP to an address like: http://SERVER01/shop1/image1.jpg
This way i dont have to setup routes to each shop if yo understand me.
Is there any software out there that does this is is there something i can setup using Apache etc...
All help greatly appreciated

If each shop has it's own web server and can maintain the images themselves then you can access each shop via HTTP on port 80 (or whatever you like TBH) using either a static IP address or Dynamic DNS domain. You can then setup some kind of RESTful service on your main server so that when someone tries to access an image, your main server can pull the image from the shop directly or from a cache it maintains.

Well each shop has 6 jpgs connected to a server, each shop is connected through a VPN with static addresses, I need to get the Jpg image from the device and store it localy on a centralised server so the requests just go to the central server rather than the shop / device itself.
The long winded way is to FTP the jpg image to the server however that means you then have 1200x6=7200 ftp connections and im pretty sure it would crash and burn

What connections are the shops ruuning
As its not possible to watch all the 1200 streams at once, just batch process the uploads from the site.
Other option is a low res realtime up date, then if required grab the full res from the site.

Server1 runs linux, write a script to wget the images off each shop server every x amount of mins/seconds and save them to the public_html or whatever directory you have on server1. Each time wget grabs the images, tell it to overwrite if there is an existing image already there.
