Hi guys,
Wasn't sure where to post but I think this is probably my best bet.

I have a client who wants me to set up a dedicated server for their company to act strictly as a file sharing server. Basically, they have around 20 employees who need to be able to upload and download files to the server in order to share, as well as be able to allow access to their clients to certain folders if necessary. These files could be as big as several GB (they are big maps usually) and need to be downloadable/uploadable as necessary.

I need it to be as simple as possible, yet powerful and secure. A web interface would be best, because I'd rather not have to force people to download or run software because of the extra IT support.

So basically, features I'd like to see:

- Multiple users, each with their own credentials
- Files/folders that can be set individual permissions for access and write permissions
- Hopefully no software to download
- Support for large files, and many of them (would be a main file server)
- Hopefully running on Apache/SQL
- Some form of logging would be great, in case someone wipes an important document
- Duplicate protection would be very handy- Not a necessity but it would be nice to have a file locking system in case two people uploaded the same filename.

Here is a very basic idea of what I was looking for:

Thanks in advance to everyone!
