What is teh best phplike app that would give me the similar functions to sharefile.com?
The goal is to allow family members to upload their photos and video of family events.
But each member would have a username and password and only access to their files until I moved them to a shared folder.
I would also like to customize the login screen.
http://www.sharefile.com/
So they login using their email address as the username, and a password I provide them.
Then the next screen has a simple button to upload their files.
Anything like that exist for free ?
Is it somewhat secure?

Hello,
Obviously there are many online site that will fulfill your needs. As for Amahi apps, you could try Gallery 2, LinPHA, or Coppermine. The first 2 are live, but the later is in beta.

Can they handle large files like 1-2GB?
I think I am looking for more of a document mgmt uploading tool, than just photo's. Once uploaded I would move them to a different location on a different server. Think of wedding videos being uploaded by multiple clients, and photos, and documents of all sorts (word, PDF, excel)...

We have a few of them too. Feng Office, Knowledgetree, OpenDocman, and might be a few more. Most are in beta testing, but the first one is live.
Maybe one of these will work for ya.

How about FileThingie? It is a single PHP file that does everything.

What is File Thingie?
File Thingie is a small web-based file manager written in PHP. It is intended for those who need to give others access to a part of their server's file system when FTP is not practical. Through File Thingie you and your users get access to the most common functions:
Simple — Just one file
Upload multiple files at once
Multiple users and user groups
Create subdirectories
Rename, move, delete and copy files and folders
Search for file and folder names
Control access to files based on black- or whitelists
Edit text files
Unzip files without downloading
Easy customization of the CSS based layout
Translate into your own language
File Thingie is just one file. It is meant for those of us who value a simple solution that just works

Have you tried AjaXplorer, eXtplorer, or phpNavigator? All these are live Amahi apps. I will take a look at the File Thingie as well.

i have tried AjaXplorer but it seems the default setting to upload files is 2 MB
i guess this can be changed in some conf ... haven't looked yet
is there any server settings i need to change in order to have large files uploaded?
i know that you need to sometimes change the php.ini file for uploads through any php-tool
default i believe is no more than 2 MB here as well
(yes i am still a nawb and will keep on asking these stupid questions)

Yes it can be changed in the app .conf file. I am unsure if there is a limit though. 2GB might be too much.
What about having users work with a tool like WinSCP? That does not have the same limits that php would have so 2GB files would be a breeze. Just a thought.
