I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions. It looks like weeblefm is closest to the functionality I was describing (though I might end up setting up a wiki anyway if the person I'm setting this up for wants a "forum"-type-thing as well.
I've set up DAV before; it's inappropriate for this particular usage just because of client-side UI. (Most web browsers don't include PUT functionality). I know there are generally "web folders" or somesuch available on many platforms, but I wanted something more universal, heopfully simple web forms. Weeble seems to fit the bill pretty well. (I've only looked at the web site so far; I haven't installed it yet.) Of course it's possible to write my own cgi with a POST form for uploads and some other simple forms for move, rename, delete, etc., but I thought my time would be better spent not reinventing the wheel if possible. Again, thanks for all of your suggestions. good times, Vineet
