Subject: [ILUG] Sharing files over the web

I have been asked by a client to consider setting up a website where a 
small group around the world can share documents securely. It sounds 
more like a job for a secure ftp server than a website but does such a 
thing exist in an easy to install and use fashion - I am not looking for 
a huge enterprise level document sharing system - something basic and 
functional that we can attach to our current server and maybe migrate to 
the ISP if appropriate.


What about something like Owl?

http://owl.anytimecomm.com/

It brands itself as an 'Intranet Engine' so I wouldn't be too sure about security over the internet.

Cheers,
Robert
