I ran across this file manager.

It works great with the Raq tried it both on my Raq 3 and 4,
very easy to set up and you can use the protect directory feature!

Try a demo out on my site:
http://www.test.prevo.net/fileman/fileman.cgi

Username: test password: test

Then you can download the file at:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/fileman/download.htm

Get the free beta version FileMan V.2.0 beta. This is a beta version, but I have been all through this and found no bugs in it.

There are only two files. a cgi that has to be moved in ascii and chmod to 755 and a .dat file that needs to be moved in binary no need to change permissions.

Run the install.cgi and it installs itself and you have a nice web based file manager. Good for these feel customers that are used to geocites or the such.

You will need to know your paths and you can set where you want the root path in the file manager.

Cool thing. I didn't know about it so I wrote my own ( freeware )
SHFileExplorer

This one is written in PHP but accesses files through FTP so security and ownership remains ok.

Since Gossamer FileMan is written in CGI it will be safe to use if you have CGI-Wrap enabled - which most sane RAQ owners have.

I actually like yours better. I would rather give them one that uses a FTP protocal. It would be cool if you could incorporate the two.

I like the option that they can password protect a directory with Fileman
