Open Source Web-Based File Management?

mister_bee asks: "I've been tasked with finding the best solution for implementing a web-based file management system. The goals of the system are easy management of files and permissions by the admin and a simple interface for the client. In this implementation, the client should only see their files and folders and not be bothered by file upload capabilities or permissions. Over the years I've seen a need for such an animal time and time again and have never found a project that I was happy with. There's always the possibility of modifying one of the many web FTP implementations that can be found over at Freshmeat of SF. Suggestions anyone?"

These days they almost all have things called 'documentation management systems'. My one uses Worksite, everything remotely accessable.

Re:WebDAV

I learned a painful lesson trying to use WebDAV -- that webfolders are not supported in recent versions of XP. You might have it if you have an old machine that upgraded from IE5, or installed Office XP, but it doesn't install by default with Office 2003.

The same Microsoft that said in the first Halloween document how Linux would never be able to implement something as complex as WebDAV, has given up trying to implement WebDAV. Not that it ever did a very good job.
