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.
