web based file sharing
Just looking for a way to give easy access over the internet to some files for multiple users. Web based would be ideal as they all know how to open a browser. Internally files are shared using samba. Has any one come across any thing ?

Well, you could run an FTP server, OR publish the files using Apache with some authentication, depending on where the files are stored. eGroupware is another application that can allow them to access the files, or even upload other files, IIRC, but that's a bigger monster.

I would suggest that you allow only secure access (https, port 443) to the web server. I have port 80 turned off and blocked by a firewall. It takes a little more configuration; but I think it's well worth the effort. I have accessed WebDAV via secure web from both Mac OSX and Windows XP. I know nothing of Vista (lucky me), so I can't speak to its compatibility.

But I just wondering if any one had come across any nice web front ends for file management. The down loading bit of course is easy but a nice little upload feature would be handy. Would rather not use ftp as I think the ftp clients would cause confusion. As you say eGroupware would do it as would most groupware's but I dont want the extras that come with them. There are some nice php indexing scripts out there I am sure some will have an upload feature so I will have a look Having just read some of the other replies I think I will look into webdav as it sounds just what I am looking for Thanks Terry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
