Subject: RE: User File Space?
Jiann-Ming,

Yes, drupal can do this. There is a setting in the admin section that allows
for 'private' downloads, in which they can't just know the path to download
it. Druplicate file names are taken care of. Each file has a 'title', which
can be the same, however, the actual stored name is unique. The title is
automatically defaulted to the unique name, but the user can change the
'title' of the file. Hope this answer helps. Oh, and of course, drupal has
user/password capability, etc.

Subject: [support] User File Space?

I'm helping a friend evaluate moving his website off of Windows/ASP to
Linux/PHP.  One of this functional requirements is as follows:

THere is admin functionality that allows me to set up accounts
(with passwords) that users can access to upload and download files (users
have no access to each others files). files should be well protected (cant
download just by knowing the location/name. need some mechanism to deal with
duplicate file names (current site gives uploaded files a unique name if
duplicate is found ... user only sees the name he typed in though).

Can Drupal do this?  If so, where can I find the documentation on how
to configure Drupal to do this?  Thanks for any help.
