FTP Users and Files access and management
Hi,
Our company has over 20k users, and we provide them with service packs and other downloads through our website (under HTML address).
I want to have a little more control and report abilities over who's downloading what, and I am looking for such a system that can help me achieving that.
1. I will define for users which files they can download , this can/should be limited in time.
2. I want to give my employees, the ability to create a user-file-time connection, so that the user can DL the file.
3. I don't want to have multiple copies of the files on the server, maybe something like Virtual directoris for each user.
Does anyone knows of such a solution?

Answer Wiki:
I would recommend <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/default.aspx">Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager</a> for handing out updates/patches/fixes. This will permit you to manage what systems & who gets the updates. You might also consider other FTP servers that integrate with AD and maybe implement group policies to meet your objectives. I don't know any solution for this so if you find one, maybe post your solution here.

I'd recommend setting this up through the web server. Doing this through an FTP server will be pretty comlex. Setup a site which requires a username and password for each user, and have a database which tracks what user gets access to which file.

My FTP will be stored on a remote FTP now, I will not incorporate AD into this (maybe only on the internal users side, but this is not the major issue).
The FTP is on a Unix system, so Windows solution is not an option.
