I need to create an html based file manager (in rails) with just basic functions (download, delete, upload) used by groups of clients/developers.
- (How) Can i set a file to just be shown (readable) to a group of users (stored in database) only?
- Is it an option to store the whole files (binary) in the database? Won’t it create huge db?
- Is there any way to solve this somehow with just directories?
http://boxroom.rubyforge.org/ is doing exactly what you describe. It is open source, so you might want to have a look at how they did.
Yes. Yes but you might judge it acceptable depending on the amount of data.
Yes. Coding that is possible.
