I want to build a website with PHP where my users can host their music files on my server. When my users log into my site, they are presented with a file directory of all their songs, and can drag and drop to add new ones to their collection, delete old ones hosted on my server, rename them, stream music, download it, etc, etc.
My question is this: what is the best way to facilitate this file transfer/showing directories/all stuff mentioned above? FTP? HTTP requests? Speed is key for me. Suggestions?
(And if you might be able to point me to a framework to start with in your response that would be really cool too)
javascript, jQuery, php’s opendir();, php’s readdir(); with combination of ajax
for streaming, flash player
