Oliver (formerly Webshare) is a free, web based FTP front-end, written in PHP and released under the GPL..

Despite the existance of many similar projects, notably Gollem, it was meant to fulfill specific requirements.


Here are some key features of "Oliver":
Small and Simple
This isn't trying to compete with powerful systems like Gollem. It is really only intended to be a functional skeleton for end-users to use and customize. The code should be well commented and easy to understand.
Javascript optional
There are bits of javascript here, but they're all optional. A lot of effort has gone into avoiding javascript here - I wonder if it was worth it ?
Fast
Speed is essential and considered more important than features. This is supposed to be usable. If you want bells and whistles you're probably in the wrong place.
Secure as possible
Don't laugh! OK the very essence of this concept is insecure, however it should be as secure as possible in the circumstances. Using Oliver instead of FTP should improve the security of your file store.
