File Permissions and other stuff

This is a tool for a web hosting customer to use right? So they could, instead of using SSH and FTP, open their browser and type in an address like:
www.tinkie.com/menu
And be brought into this GUI environment, correct?
Also, I was using the demo and was wondering if you can set/change file permissions through PHPWebhosting

Yes, PHPWebHosting could be used as a substitute for SSH and scp/FTP. The only problem you might encounter is intergrating the web hosting companies accounts into phpwebhosting's (phpgroupware's actually) authentication scheme. There are many options for authentication, including SQL/HTTP/LDAP/more (listed on the setup/ page). You can add your own as well with some relatively easy programming.
At this time file permissions cannot be set through phpwebhosting, but it's a valid feature that I'll probably add at some point (will be a while before I get a chance).
Hope this helps and sorry it took so long to reply,

ok, so how could you have it so that you have a hosting company, (that allows each registerd user 10mb space and a /user at the end of the address.) to intergrate as a file manager/uploader for that. so like, they go to the page, login and their webspace (10mb) comes up as an Individual account. (not a folder, a proper / folder.) my problem is: that it wont let you merge the two. so i cant work out how to do it. any ideas?

This shouldn't be hard at all. With the 0.4 version, the authentication method is abstracted, so with a bit of PHP programming you can use your current authentication scheme, whatever that may be (see the phpgwapi/inc/class.auth* files).
You can change the "/home" look by changing one variable in phpgwapi/inc/class.vfs_sql.inc.php. See the documentation in phpgwapi/doc/vfs for how to do that. After changing that to "/", you may still need to comment out some lines in phpwebhosting/index.php to get the look you're after, but overall it shouldn't be a problem to restrict them to their main directory.
Also the quota system is hard-coded at this time, so if you want only 10MB per user, change the $userinfo["hdspace"] in phpwebhosting/inc/main.inc.php.
So basically, the system is very flexible, but to integrate it into your current system and to get the exact look you're going for takes a bit of hacking on the code. Luckily you have that option if you choose.
