Topic: Access files from a web browser that is on an i-bay

[SSBN]

I am looking for a contrib that will let me share files through a web page in one of my i-bayes. There has to be security of course. Would PHPFileExchange be the best one for the job? What other ones are out there. The files would have to be in an I-bay and be accessible internally but also accessible through the web page from off site.

Hi,
I setup a simular thing on my server. I set the ibay "Public access via web or anonymous ftp" to Entire Internet(password required outside local network) and put the files in the html folder. I mapped the html folder as a network drive on the windoze machines and no password is needed, connect via the internet (http://www.yourdomain.com/ibay_name)
and you need a password. Works for me, but if you have different users and you want to give them a unique user name and password you will have to install some sort of contrib, not sure which one. I did install a cgi script called locked area lite can be found here: http://www.locked-area.com/html/ but this allowed people to create their own user name and password and I am not a programmer so I couldn't get it set to request a password, rather than just anyone setting themselves up. I hope this helps.

Do you know if you can upload files using the ftp in IE or opening in as an http or can you just download files.

Hi,
You can only download files. I think you need proftp contrib from here: http://www.dungog.net/sme/files/index.php
It allows you to set up ftp access for SME users and restricts the areas allowed (I think). Have a look and see what you think, please let me know if this works and if it is what you want. I amy try it myself though.

Hi,
I have installed the proftp contrib from dungog.net and it works OK, but it doesn't really do what we want, it allows a user ftp access to upload and download files but I think you need to use a ftp program (I used leechftp)but I want (and I think you want the same) to be able to access from IE or Netscape. If anyone can suggest anything maybe they could post here, how about the .htaccess contrib? I don't know much about .htaccess or .htpasswd so I am at a lose at the moment. Any help or advice is appreciated.
