Client wants to share large files

[ukmgranger]

I have a client that wants to share large files with his customers using a secure login form for the customer.

I had two thoughts on how to do this:
1. Set up an account with DropBox or the like and integrate it with website
2. Somehow have the client host the files on his personal server, and have them display in a password protected page.

The problems (on the basis that I have never done either)!
1. Do any file sharing type websites easily integrate with website (I'm even thinking iFrame)?
2. I just have no idea about this one. Can files on his server (he has a fixed IP) be displayed on a website page? His actual website is hosted on my servers, and it wouldn't be economical to host his big files.

Any ideas?

have you looked at the FileList plugin?  It's been a while since I've used it, but I think it might work.  There are several "download manager"-type modules and plugins in the Forge; might be worth a look.

client won't to share large files to the another clients. but when you share large file then its files face traffic in his area that why its not give permission and your pc become very slow.

ALMOST found a great solution.  Thought I would post it as it may help others:

Ajaxplorer allows you to create a whole file system on your site with user accounts etc.

The problem with Ajaxplorer though is that I am on a shared VPS server, which means that I only have an upload limit of 2mb.  My customer needs to be able to upload files up to 50mb in size!

So, I'm still back to the same question.  How can my customer have a client files area on his site that allows for uploading & downloading of large files (up to 50mb)?  It wouldn't be heavy use, just a few files here and there - and the interface needs to be simple so that his clients can upload easily too.

You could use Uploads module with Custom content and Front end users, but the server would have to be able to handle such large files and not many will do that...
