Hello everyone,
My cousin asked me if I could help him figure out a way to a do a file sharing setup he wants for his work netowrk, but since I don't have any idea about how to do such thing, thought maybe you guys could help me out.
What he wants to do:
- He'd like to share some of his computer files (a folder containing many sub-folders and files) to a specific number of users in his Network.
- He'd like them to have access to these files through a webpage. (I told him to just share the damn folder with the users and they'll be able to browse it, but apparently he's working with a bunch of retards that need to browse through the files in a webpage interface)
- He'd like this webpage to view his shared folders/files in a Treeview/Gridview style, something like this:
In the example I've mentioned, user is choosing SubFolder1 and the files in it are displaying on the other side (File1 & File2).
So, is it possible to do this ? If yes, please answer the following questions:
1- What programs are needed to do the entire setup ?
2- How difficult is it do it ? for example, is a high level of understanding specific computer languages necessary to do such setup ? Or is it possible to do it by following a few tutorials ?
3- Finally, does my cousin have to constantly update the webpage if he updated the shared folders/files ? Or will the files he's sharing always be updated automatically as long they're done in the same shared main folder?
Any help would be really appreciated.
