Re: [openupload-devel] Temporary upload accounts

Yes, I think that will work.

Is there a way I can assist with the development?

Hi Tom,
please subscribe to the list, it'a a member only list.

To answer your question, I think this is one of the most wanted
features.

The way I think I'll implement is a little different, like:

1. A registered user has an option to send an invitation to the customer
 (here s/he can add protection like a password, and some other options
like, notify me when the upload is done, how many uploads, how long the
invitation will last, password protect the uploads afterwards, and so
on)
2. The customer is given (via e-mail or so) a link like
http://host/?a=i&i=asdu23
  which gets to the mere upload form (maybe with a description field)
3. the customer uploads the files
4. the user is notified about the uploaded files.
5. Periodically remove expired invitations, or the user might also
get/send
a link to remove the invitation.

Thoughts?

Alessandro
