Hi, does anyone knows an application (hopefully on rails) which deals with file transfer and management. I mean in the sense of an FTP. My problems are that the client has only access to HTTP (port 80) and all the tools (like DMS, etc.) out there (like knowledgetree, etc.) are heavy (PHP) monsters with too many options. I just need file upload/download, remove, link the resources (with authentication or hashed url). If time and money wouldn''t be an issue I would do it myself, but hopefully I don''t have to invent the wheel again.

What you''ve described is pretty much exactly what S3 does... --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Matt, never tried S3 before and wanted to avoid extra costs. Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Granted, S3 isn''t free - but neither is most people''s time. Even a cheap hour of developer time (at, say, $30/hr) will pay to store 1GB on S3 for almost 10 years (at $0.15/GB*month). That''s awfully close to free, unless there''s quite a lot of data... --Matt Jones On Jan 29, 2:48 am, Christoph Jasinski <christoph.jasin...-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks Matt, > > never tried S3 before and wanted to avoid extra costs. > > Chris-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
