[thelist] PHP file/download management?

[Stephen Rider]

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....  ;)
