I have a client with a file upload/download server setup 7 or 8 years ago. It's based on Mac OS 9.2, WebSTAR 4.5 with http uploads using the WebSTAR File Upload plugin via a very simple webpage. They use Tango 3.5 on the same server for Filemaker database searches
Having dragged them kicking & screaming into the new Milllenium (with OS X 10.4.8) for everything else, I'd like to retire this server - their last OS 9 box They have an Xserve (G4, tray load, 1 GHz, 2 Gb RAM, single processor) running OSXS 10.4.8 (Apache, MySQL, PHP as installed by default). I'd like to work with what's there and provide an http upload & download facility but there's no default file upload plugin I've looked at many PHP plugins but I've not found anything exactly suitable and I'm not qualified to say if these solutions are secure or not. I know I can build /modify one in Witango pretty quickly. The requirements are: * an admin webpage to setup usernames & passwords for new accounts * upload directories created automagically for new accounts * users to be able to see & upload / download in their directory only * maximum file size to be 200 Mb (largest files now are ~ 100 Mb) * useage is light - maybe 2-20 files a day, max, from 2-10 users The questions are: * is Witango stable enough for uploading files of this size? * is there an existing project I can modify? (I have upload.taf from the Developers site) * can this be done with Witango Lite? * if Witango isn't suitable can anyone point me at a PHP alternative? I've read all the posts in the June 2006 "Question: Upload doesn't work in Safari" thread and paid heed to Robert Garcia's post. Thank you, Robert Many thanks ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
