I'm currently doing an internship for a company (its actually a networking internship but they asked me to do this as a side project) and they want a site thats basically for file distribution. Nothing that needs to be secured, so no user accounts and passwords. The files will be pdf and I would like to be able to sort them by date and/or name. Is this something that would be easier to do with wordpress or should I go another route?
 
Possibly a FTP if I can't find anything else. It needs to be very easy to use. A lot of the employees are older and have a hard time with technology.

I'm not sure if I could get them to spend any kind of cash on this. So ColdFusion isn't really a choice. :/
 
Do you picture the final product as just a dumping ground for random files and folders, or do you want additional auditing capabilities -- logon dates/times, document revision history, etc.?

If it's the former, then a FTP site or (if a Windows environment) a mapped drive or re-mapping the users' My Docs directory to a network share. If you need features from the latter, then look into SharePoint, Google Docs, or some freebie CMS products.

Actually brings up a good idea, external network drive with a mapped drive for each user. Would make life super easy and can server as a great dumping ground for files.
