FileMaker's Instant Web Publsihing Technology allows you to craft a URL that points straight to your database and optionally provide login credentials.

The format of the URL for Guest users is:
https://(Server Hostname)/fmi/iwp/cgi?dbpath=%2Ffmi%2Fiwp%2Fcgi%3F-db=(Database name)%26-startsession&acct=guest&login=Login&-authdb

Example:
https://n21.fmphost.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?dbpath=%2Ffmi%2Fiwp%2Fcgi%3F-db=Inventory%26-startsession&acct=guest&login=Login&-authdb
