No, I do not need paid access, just control.
Sometimes we need to send people large files, e.g. 50+ MB, and since
you can't email that I like the idea of having a corporate download
site on a subdomain. I also want a public downloads directory and,
say, an "employees only" (group) directory.
I'm currently considering a program called SecureLoads <http://
www.secureloads.com/>. It looks promising, but I've already come
across a bug just using the demo.
Part of the reason I like open-source software I guess. Thousands of
eyes find and fix bugs a lot faster than a small staff at some
company somewhere.... ;)
