Is there a way to publish onto a file system?

[steve_murphy]

I was looking for a way to publish content from the authoring server into a file system folder.  I'd like to "pre-render" the content when it is published as an xml or html file.  Once its on the file system, I could then push it to any web server or application server.  Then the web or app server could consume/render the content as needed.  Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about if its possible to activate content from this view:

to the file system instead of pub server? 

If so - no its not.

AEM is built to publish content from AEM author to publish. 

However -- you can create a custom service to get content from the JCR (everything in the JCR is content) and then move that content somewhere else. For example - you can take the content - put it into a file, and then move the file somewhere else on your network. For example - FTP the file to another server.
