A little off topic, but not too bad.

If people are looking for a file sharing utility you might want to have
look at SDMS (Simple Document Management System)
http://sdms.cafuego.net/
It isn't really a "file sharing" utility, but it can be used that way.
It's lean and works really well on a mitel/e-smith box (php and mysql).
I won't vouch for its security, but it is a handy little utility and
I've used it quite a bit myself.

Happy to provide any other info.

Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] Groupware and file sharing security


I wonder if everyone is aware of the security risk inherent in any
groupware
app that shares files.  I have not found any app that does this in a
secure
fashion becuase they do not and can not implement Apache security via
the
SME templates.  And I do not mean the security that every app attempts
to
implement.  I mean _true_ security.

What I do myself to share files is very simple.  It may meet your needs
(or
not).  I've put up a demo site here:

https://myezserver.com/FileShare1

login = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password = 12345

This use SSL, httpd.conf aliases and htpasswd files to restrict access.

The script I use could be refined to include date/time stamp and 'hide'
index.php.  You could change it to permit upload/download only etcetera.

There are lot's of different scripts out there.  If you have one you
like,
please share.  This is simply to give you an idea of what is possible.

Take a look and respect this is for everyone to see so don't delete
index.php or upload maxive files.  If this site is abused I'll simply
remove
it immediately.

Thanks,
