It's to be used also as a means to manage content. (It's main purpose is to facilitate easier/faster WAN connections through TCP rather than using SAMBA/CIFSs/NFS which is dog slow (Even when using NFS w/ TCP) > If your idea is to make something like a file sharing site, where > depending on the login credentials a user could only download files or > again depending on the credentials the user could also upload files the > easiest way is to use a cgi script (perl, php, "whatever") for > uploading.

A WebDAV solution would be the BEST, however, until now, I've not found a suitable way to provide for and to address priviledge separation using WebDAV. Which is why I am thinking on going through this SQL solution using SAMBA and AutoIndex. -- Ow Mun Heng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
