File Server script with permisions

[seanc]

does anyone know of a script or anything that can do this;

* file lists, with an option to view or download files (mostly pdf)

*folders need custom image

* rights and permissions for folders/users

* searchable

* easy upload

and prefer something that can work on IIS

theres lots of scripts to choose from within the IIS Web Platform Installer.

Sounds like you want some form of hacker script, they all seem to do this, perhaps a trip to some of the darker sites out there may give you what you need

Hi, thank you for the quick reply

hacker script?
ooo, this isnt for hacking

its for an insurance office to make life easy to find relevant documents using images/logos that drill down to the .pdf

i can probably do it in wordpress as i know wordpress, but how would i restrict people or give folder permissions for different users.


i have IIS running and i can see theres lots of CMS/Blog/Scripts to choose to install from the Web Platform Installer, so anything for IIS would be a great help.

Wasn't suggesting you wanted to hack into anything

Most of the scripts I've removed from people sites tend to have something that will do all that you are asking for and I'm sure could easily be modified

i could simply run a php dir script to pick the file list up,
and code some img shortcuts to the folder links - which is a simple way to describe what i need, but i also need user access - so i can choose which folders and files they see depending on the user.

To clarify, you want to use a PHP script? What database type do you have access to?

 

[seanc]

i can use php, and i can use MySQL.

(unfortunately) this is all running on windows server 2013 + IIS

Ive seen the web platform installer for IIS and it includes alot of the well known scripts / blogs / wordpress ... lots to choose from.

i figured wordpress could do it, and give different users different access to different pages..

.. but maybe theres something out there that will do a better and simpler job thats easy to install using the web platform installer

The other platform that I know of is Joomla, and that may be worth investigating for this purpose. I don't use it myself but had a quick look, here's an example extension that might work:

I've not tried any of the standard platform installer offerings, however, if this is in an office, you might be able to roll your own and use the integrated Windows authentication to control what directories they can see.

Here are 3 open source "file repository" scripts based on PHP/mySQL. Perhaps one will meet your needs? (I have no direct experience with any of them unfortunately)

Is this a web application or something running on a local network. If its a web application the Laravel php framework could be used to build such a site not sure if it would run under IIS but worth a look . It has basic authentication as standard and there a couple of great extensions that can add full user control
