Question

I couldn't really find the answers to my questions after browsing the entire website. I would like to know whether twiki can fulfill the following requirements or not?

1. Web-Based (HTTP) Based Access to Data - Facility to Upload/Download Multiple Files using HTTP
2. HTTP Based Recursive Uploads/Downloads for Directories
3. Authenticate Users from LDAP
4. Allow file/folder permissions based on users or groups
5. Allow data sharing between users
6. User Quotas
7. Full-Text Search

Thankyou.

Answer

There are various pages about these topics, and most of these are possible - see Google:zip+upload+TWiki, Google:ldap+authentication+twiki, Google:search+enhancements+twiki and PhotonSearch for starters. I don't think user quotas are possible without code changes, perhaps in a plugin. Data sharing and permissions are mainly at level of webs - if you have a lot of folders that are hierarchical, you might want to look at MegaTWiki which includes hierarchical webs. Some Perl expertise will be required for all this most likely, see PerlTips for pointers.
