Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a web based filemanager for users that are already
authenticated through .htaccess and are the $REMOTE_USER. Here is a
screenshot of something like I would like to do:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

A couple...

* Write a program? No, don't do that, this is a solved problem.

* Don't bother; use Webmin / Usermin for a web inteface:
<http://www.webmin.com/index6.html>
<http://www.webmin.com/screens/ufile.gif>

* Don't bother; use WebDAV and let them mount a web folder as
a local directory tree in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder:
<http://www.webdav.org/>
<http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/>

* If you're hell-bent on writing something, what have you got so far?
