Re: File sharing web script
Hi AZ Pete, This might be a better question for the developers list. Your question appears to have met with the stereotypical clash of systems administrators and innovative developers that causes so much friction between the two groups in the corporate world. 1) You can run a .htpasswd password protected administrative backpage that allows you to do a ftp get; your form will include the $servername $username and $filename and a get button with an optional $emailink checkbox and $emailaddress field. It can be written in the Perl::Ftp CPAN module, Php ftp API, or simple bash (if your system can be set to allow system calls [are you hosted on a web provider that limits your use]? Do you have language preference? Here's a php (without the API) example: http://www.raditha.com/php/ftp/ 2) You can allow directory browsing to a chrooted vsftp upload directory via a .htaccess (or better yet a true authentication portal) where the users' file access is set for their own files. In other words, they get a directory link URL off a protected support page. File permissions and locations can be set in sub directories via cron for customers or directory access so you can upload into a protected area and be assured it will automagically go (every hour) to the right customer http accessible download linked place. 3) Drupal, ZenCart, Oscommerce, SugarCRM, vtigerCRM, Joomla, OpenEMM (email marketing) and Jira/Confluence allow for secure file sharing modules. I frequently setup CMS in 3 hours. CMS require php and mysql. 4) ISPConfig has configurable ftp (and dns) and web tools (for email (squirrelmail) web and file sharing) for customers if you are doing any type of hosting? Typically the customer gets an upload area, where files are set either in a special configuration or via cron (see above). Why pay to simply implement a new web script when you can implement greater community developed secure systems solution for your clients? Pete?

RE: File sharing web script
The app is called a web server, are you running one on your server ? If not apache and tomcat come to mind. If you are running one, then all you have to do is: scp filename u...@servername:/path/to/upload/directory Or are you asking us how to create the large file ? -Original Message- From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of AZ Pete Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 11:33 AM To: PLUG Discuss Subject: File sharing web script Hi All, I have a need to be able to make large files to available to several clients for download.

Re: File sharing web script
Hm... I'm not sure I understand the question. This can simply be done by using FileZilla (or alike) to copy the file to the server and emailing: http: And the browser will download it... I believe M$ Explorer has a limit on size, but I also recall it to be bigger then that... What do you need the app to do where?

Re: File sharing web script
can't you just use filezilla to upload it in web server's directory then send a URL?

File sharing web script
Hi All, I have a need to be able to make large files to available to several clients for download. When the need currently arises I use megaupload.com, which is a nice service for free, but I would rather keep things all on my server. What I want to be able to do is to upload said huge file (200Mb-500Mb) to my web host via SSH/FTP. Then simply send my client a url where they can download that file via their browser. Are there any apps that can do this? I did some searching on sourceforge, but couldn't really find anything.
