I'm concepting a system in php that offers user level password protected
upload / download of image files - certain users would only be able to
access certain files.
The file sizes could be anywhere from 1mb on up to 25mb.
I am thinking of storing the (user uploaded and downloadable) files outside
of the www directory (if that is possible with php) and using mysql to track
files and associate them with users. I would like to pose a few questions:
1. How would you get around scrip timeouts on huge 25mb files.
1a. In a virtually hosted situation, how much php can a server
provide if 5 people are tying up connections/php with 25mb downloads.
2. If it is possible to upload files outside of the www directory via php,
would this bring added security concerns to the site. I don't wan't the
files to be browseable by J.Q. Public.
3. Is there a better solution using straight ftp connections that could
also provides user level password protection - keeping in mind that users
would need the capacity to create an account and upload a file without an
administrator having to create directories and passwords.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/opinions/etc.
Kevin
