Hey guys, I have been using Owl for over a year now with a couple of clients. Recently I have been looking at, PHPFileExchange see here http://www.seattleserver.com/httpfs.htm
Please give your thoughts on this. It has some very keen features including sending a link to a file for download to anybody you choose, including with a required password. The link arrives via e-mail and the system is VERY slick. Thoughts please.
