• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Maybe you will be able to help.

I need to set up a secure file sharing site for a company so that clients can retrieve files. I will be using HTTPS but I need a very easy way to allow the company users to manage users rights and permissions. This site needs to be as secure as possible and completely un-indexed. I'd also like to track login events. Is .htaccess still the best login method?

This needs to be easy enough for a mother to use.

Hopefully this is clear enough If I need to clarify something please let me know.

I've searched google and the forums but I'm not sure what to search for so I get a lot of irrelevant results. I've also thought of using SFTP but I don't think user management is easy enough to manage.
 
I'm not sure .htaccess has ever been the best means of user authentication ;)

You could look into a web based content management system, most could be configured to handle what you outlined. SharePoint would also seem like a good fit.

Platform? Budget?
 
SFTP is based on SSH, you can have plenty of control over file access using user and group permissions of the underlying operating system. It is also extremely secure if you use RSA/DSA keys instead of passwords (though it is already very secure, keys just make it harder to brute force or compromise credentials with a MITM attack).
