Securely Sharing Files with External Entities

["Michael J. Wheeler" <mwheeler () PITTSTATE EDU>]

We're looking for a piece of software -- that we can host on our own servers -- which allows our users to upload a 
file, create a HTTPS link for it, and set an expire time and password (shared out of band) for the link. There are 
several web-based services that can do this, but I haven't found anything that we can host ourselves. 

We have a piece of software called Xythos (owned by Blackboard now) that can do this, but it's way too complicated for 
our users to drive and has too many features for our needs. So, they're just resorting back to emailing files again.

We'd prefer something that can be hosted on a LAMP stack, and if it can do Shibboleth (via Apache Auth if necessary) or 
LDAP auth, it would be highly desirable. I ran across an application called FileZ (https://github.com/tini/FileZ), 
which was created by a French University, but it doesn't want to install and it appears that the installer is broken.
