OSS Web-based File Management?

breadiu asks: "I work for a department at a university, and we'd love to offer students some type of web-accessible file storage, but, like most educational institutions, money is tight. There are some great closed source solutions out there like Xythos' Digital Locker Suite, but those cost. I've had trouble finding a really well put together open source solution. I've taken a look at Slide and even Zope, but neither really match up to Xythos' offerings. What have others done to provide centralized file storage/management? Is there anything OSS that offers WebDAV, Apache support, BSD/Linux support and Active Directory-LDAP authentication with support for Windows and Mac clients?"

What about providing ftp? It really sounds to be exactly like what your looking for, but I might be missing something.
FTP on a Unix Machine! by PHP+Addict · 2005-07-07 04:41 · Score: 0, Redundant

With proper permissions and restrictions, a Unix Box with a (s)FTP server makes a great solution to what you want. Every computer has some form of an FTP client that comes on it, and you could always offer a download of one of the many free GUI FTP clients out there.
