Whats this program all about?

I'm hoping to make fizbiz (FB) into a simple and easy to use system for sharing files via a web browser. Authorized user accounts can use FB to generate file request tokens called FIZ.

Each FIZ is a short unique identifier which can be used as a file upload token. For example, an FB server should have an easy to remember domain name like http://fb.company.com/. To access FIZ ID PR5347D the url you would hand somebody you wanted to get or send a file to would be http://fb.company.com/PR5347D.

Each FIZ is highly configurable and allows for the following options

• Upload expiry (for limiting uploads to a slim amount of time)
  
• Files expiry (defaults to the upload expiry until changed)
• Multiple files support
  
• Upload file(s)
  
• WebDAV Server Integration
• File size limitations
  
• Upload and retrieve notifications for all FIZ participants
  
• RSS
• SMS
  
• Instant Messages
• E-Mail
• Server based GPG Encryption
• Recipients can add their own key which is moderated by the owner
• Owner can select from list of existing keys
• Preexisting keys can be related to recipient notification database
• Set a simple password
• Require captcha verification
• Require registered local user
• Require registered recipient
  
• Simple registration interface
• Recipients can be upgraded to local users through the administration interface.
• Newly registration recipient expiry
  

Administrators of an FB site have control over which options are configurable and what value ranges are acceptable.

To share a set of files with multiple people just share the FIZ URL, if the data is not sensitive a FIZ URL should be quite secure for simple file sharing, especially if it has a short expiration time.

FB is ideal in situations where it is important to be notified file is downloaded. By requiring a recipient to be registered before downloading a file referenced by a FIZ you can track who downloaded the file by registration ID.

In short, I'm not reinventing any wheels here. Initially I wanted a system like FB so that I could instruct my local mail server to reject messages over a few megs, then email the recipient with a request to issue a FIZ to the sender.
