Hello,
A couple of teachers have asked if there was a way for students to
transfer files to and from home. I took a look at sourceforge and found
bytehoard http://bytehoard.sourceforge.net/
Does anyone here have experience with this or have suggestions for other
packages provide this functionality?
If we do this it will most likely sit on a web server dedicated to this
task.
Michael - thanks for the link to phpformgen. It will come in handy!
