Managing files on VMs using PHP

276 views Asked by At

I have multiple Virtual Machines (VMs). One of them is a PHP Server, the others are just normal machines. How can I let the PHP server manage the files. And how can I implement access control to that too. I want the client to be able to control the files through a webpage. Just like say, Dropbox. Also, how can I allow specific users to see certain files, and others not. Meaning, User1 owns a file and shares it with User2 but not User3.

You are basically asking for a whole application design which is out of scope on SO. However, I'd recommend to avoid creating this from scratch. Instead use an open-source solution which you can customize later on according to your needs
