I'm looking for some sort of web application that will help me manage a long
list of files on a web server. I have a list of files in a web directory
protected by htaccess. When I need to download a file I simply enter in the
password and get a directory listing then I can download whatever I want.
The problem arises when I want to give someone else access to a single file.
I don't want to give them access to all of the files in the directory so
what I've been doing is moving the one file I want to give them to an
unprotected directory, let them download it and then moving the file back to
the protected directory.

 

There must be some PERL or PHP script that lists all the files in that
directory, let me choose one that I want to give temporary access to, and
then assign a one time password to it. Then I can provide the person a link,
a one time password and then forget about it. After they click the link and
enter the password to download the file, the password is automatically
erased so I never have to worry about it again. I've been searching through
Freshmeat.net but I can't find such a script. Anyone have any ideas on where
I can find something like this?

 

 

Thanks!

Chuck
