Topic: Recommendation for download management

[gbentley]

Hi all,

I am asking for alternative suggestion for software that roughly resembles http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/software/dl/

ie staff would be able to upload a file and send a link to the client. The link/file would expire after a set period.

This would probably be open source software, but doesn't have to be.

The less requirements the better - maybe just mysql/php/js [less =better]

TIA

On first glance 'dl' looked overly complicated to install?

Found this so will give it a try in next few days.

I also tested something similar quite some time ago which fitted the bill and had low requirements, but for life of me can't recall the name of the project...

complicated?

just use fws repo and you're done.. everything you need is that.. the other points (LemonLDAP::NG and so on) are optional

[gbentley]

I should of mentioned - this is to be installed on web host [not on sme box]

What's to stop random bad guys using that as a Warez exchange (or worst) dropbox?

you'd better ask to Daniel

In the default conf, only authenticated users (sme accounts, either throuh http basic auth or Lemonldap::NG) can upload files. For external people, they can upload only if they first get a grant from an authenticated user, a grant is only avaliable once, and uploaded files are scanned with ClamAV before being accepted. Of course only the grantor can then retrieve a file uploaded by an external user.

and....
Files made available for download have:
- An auto expiry date
- A random file name
- A counter on how many times it is downloaded and by whom (Audit)
- A limit on the number of downloads e.g. 1 or n, the expire
Anyway, it's all on the wiki page
