Is there something out there like php or something, where I can set certain users to have certain file access via FTP (or anything) where they can also upload, all wrapped up in a web gui. Basically, Im a plumber, with a plumbing company that general contractors use to access certain blueprint files. Now what I've been doing is making an Ibay for each general, and allowing them to access it via ftp://ibay@rburnsplumbing.com ; however, after so many contractors, you lose passwords and whatnot, and sending updates for new passwords is a pain. Theres this company that uses, what I believe FTP, I really dont care. I just want the interface! :-D

I guess you are after some sort of document management system, right?
-
yeah, there you go. PHP Document Management system -- client. Or something like that. Don't have to be php, I just know when googling with php in search title, it helps finding sites with scripts you can use for websites

Try Google Docs.....

FTP is not secure
What about webshare, there was a very recent post about how to install it.
Uses secure https and has a GUI and varying levels of access control per webshare and various users and passwords.
The problem is with any of these secure approaches, if you cannot adequately record passwords then there is nothing we can do to help you.
I do a similar thing with clients (different business) and we put their login details in their database entry in our system do it can be easily retrieved anytime.

Sounds Good to ME. What is it called. @ mary; I'm not so much worried about passwords as i am interface. I'll get some type of password management system going similiar to roboform. This sounds like its what im looking for, because all I want to do is be able to share documents with certain contractors, so they are not able to see the other contractors I work for. And if possible, upload capabilities.
