Just to correct something I wrote. In witango 5.5 <@CGIPARAM> the
USERNAME from http authentication is available, so you could
correlate file-uploads with particular users.

How about WebDAV (same as .Mac)? Already built into Mac and

would be completely unintegrated -- http authentication for WebDav,
and
whatever you do for witango on the application side.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Simple file upload server on OS X 10.4.8
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
