File manegement?

Is there a plug-in or something that would manege the upload of files? We are trying to set up site with articles, seminar papers, assingment templates, theses... It would be perfect for us if files would be automaticaly stored (on server directory or in mysql) and that the upload would be possible through browser.

However, we are developing a media library plugin as we speak. It will allow for remote file uploads as well as protect files by hiding them outside of the web tree. If you need something right away, I'd recommend looking at upload.class.php and download.class.php in /path/to/geeklog/system/classes from CVS.
The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Tony, Will your file management functionality include change management and version control? There is a strong need for Intranet applications to store latest versions of various files - documentation, presentations and even programs. But also have full versioning control and diff mangement or manage multiple versioning history. Also to include change mgmt history (date, time, user/owner with comments), searchable fields ... How far are you planning on taking the file management functionality? Blaine

Maybe a simple level of version control. e.g. we may allow you to store multiple versions of files but we won't internal handle it in the more elegant (and complicated) way that, for example, CVS does. In otherwords, if you have a file that is versioned, it will probably store the entire file for each version. At least, that is how it would work initially.
