SimpleWebShare is a small application for publishing a part of your hard disk on the Web. Simple Web Share project displays files and directories in a list view and allows them to be downloaded, including on-the-fly zipping.

Here are some key features of "Simple Web Share":
Display file and directory as list
Download of file
Download of directory with on-the-fly zip generation (with a customizable folder's size limit)
Simple HTTP Authentification
Localized interface (currently french or english)

Requirements:
Apache HTTP server (as PHP CGI doesn't work with HTTP authentification)
PHP (I use v5.1.2, feedback about any previous php are welcome)
(optional) pecl-fileinfo (PHP extention : installation depend of your system, on gentoo : emerge pecl-fileinfo)

Setup:

untar the file in you document directory
Take a look at config.inc.php to customize it to your needs
Take a look at users.inc.php to manage users

Important:

As zip the library I use make zip in memory, you have to set up PHP script memory limit very high (as high as biggest zip you authorize).. to do so, edit php.ini and modifiy memory_limit= line

What's New in This Release:
Make pecl-fileinfo optionnal
