If you want something new and yet very powerfull, you can try AWS (Ada 
Web Server).

This an HTTP server written in Ada (so very robust). It supports many 
protocols and is very simple to use.

You can find more information on http://libre.act-europe/aws

Present requirements: 50 Gb disk space, web access & password protected directories/folders and less expensive.

 

If I am wrong please correct me & also help me. 

My idea is to build an "http file server". 

OS: Naturally I am going to use FreeBSD

Hardware: May be I will buy two (2) 50 Gb IDE disks. Is 256 Mb ram is enough or need more? What kind of backup system we should put? Which is reliable RAID controller? Or What size of Dat's. etc.

Appls:??? (No Idea... suggestions please)



Thanks in advance

What you're describing sounds like an extranet. Apache with SSL sounds like
a good idea here, especially if this is sensitive data.

It would be pretty easy to build some kind of file browsing system with PHP
or Perl. You could also use either of these for whatever authentication
scheme you cook up.

Good idea. =)

My suggestion for an IDE RAID controller would be something from 3ware. If
this will be a moderate to very busy site, I would also suggest a minimum of
512MB of RAM. My last thought would be that you keep future expansion in
mind and go with slightly larger disks, maybe 80 or 100GB.
