Someone asked Slashdot for suggestions for an Open Source Web-based File Management. An older ask Slashdot covered the same thing. The following looks promising:
- UMich’s mfile, which is expected to be released soon.
- Knowledge Tree
- OpenFile
- WebDAV is, of course, a logical solution, but I never got it to work *reliably*, and not at all with HTTPS on both Windows and OSX. But this comment thread suggestions:
- Use a combination of Plone for the server side (it’s based on Zope)
- Use Novell’s free NetDrive client on Windows to actually mount your WebDAV shares to a drive letter, and be happy that it supports HTTPS. (Though you have to hunt for the download link.)
- WebDrive for Windows
- Goliath for MacOS (9 and X), but I’m not sure you can create a mountpoint.
- Cadaver for a unix command line.
- FSGuide, a Norton Commander-like web-based file manager.
- Horde
- Webmin with Fireanager module, using Usermin module to configure access
- ByteHoard - PHP based
- phpFileMAnager
Novell GPL’d iFolder, but is an Mono/.NET application.
