Hi,

You have to have:
* Login system
* PHP
* Notepad
* FTP client for uploading your files

I would use mysql backend, for controlling who owns which files, etc.

You also have to control which files are uploaded! (filetype), as well as where they can upload.
You also have to FIX filenames! If they upload filenames with characters like: `, æ, ø, etc. they will not be viewable via internet-browsers!

It's not very hard to make.
I made a system with quotas, etc. but it's very simple!

table1: usertable
table2: userlevel
table3: quota

In table1, you define user_id (unique), username, password and userlevel
In table2, you define userlevel_id (unique), userlevel_title and userlevel_quota_id (int)
In table3, you define quota_id (unique), quota_size (int).

Then you make some simple logic.
