Re: [CentOS] Corporate drop box for files
Some form of a webDAV, possibly 'skinned', comes to mind, as shared rights and ACL are well defined and readily supported; Clients in every Linux, OS/X or Windows release in active support [also on my iTouch and related portible devices], so far as I know; server side is trivial; uses the 'universal firewall traversal protocol on TCP/80 (plaintext) and TCP/443 (TLS) ;) Is it actually called skinned?

You can have a look at Alfresco Community Edition. http://www.alfresco.com Alfresco should work for about anything but might be overkill if you don't need to build in workflow controls. A wiki that allows you to attach files to pages would be simpler, but might end up cluttered if you don't enforce some organization. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Sounds like what I need... DAV aka WebDAV is just a protocol built on top of http for reading/writing files with access control and locks, on Linux, the server is typically implemented with apache and mod_dav... the skinning he was referring to undoubtably revolves around building html/css templates for your webdav 'site'I'd imagine that you'd want to implement a simple web front end for this for casual users to upload/download single files for users who don't want to configure a webdav client. another somewhat different approach would be to use a wiki like dokuwiki as your file storage.doku has authentication, supports as complex a user/group structure as you care to build, and I believe you can setup a regimented file storage area where different user groups have access to different sets of files. Doing it this way, all user interactions with your file repository would be via web browser. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Corporate drop box for files
Dumb question: samba? I should have stated for customers/vendors as well, across the wire:) The webdav approach sounds good, but building doesn't fit the time frame. I'll look at the other reco's.

Take a look at knowledgetree - similar to alfresco. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kt-dms/files/ The versions prior to 3.7 have the installer drop everything into /opt. 3.7 has a much more intrusive install - add's a couple repo's, replaces some rpms, weaved more into the system. -- tkb ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
