I've set upu this kind of thing for several departments using our Juniper SecureAccess SSL VPN - just set up a link to 
a drop box on a windows or linux file server, and there ya go.

We are using SSL webdav on IIS6 and Windows 2003 with disk quota turned on. SSL cert is free for edu from 
http://certs.ipsca.com/

Who has a web-based file sharing / dropbox / web-upload-instead-of-email-attachment solution they'd like to tell me 
about?

My department is looking to enhance or replace ours, and it seems a common task. I see no benefit to using a commercial 
provider, but could see the benefits of shared source with our fellow edu's. As always, I can summarize to the list if 
there are sufficient responses/interest.

Cheers.

Cornell's got a homegrown app called dropbox that does what Rice's homegrown app, webfile did, that does what many 
campuses have built.
