Hi All:
I am working with a law firm that would like to offer to it's clients the ability to access their documents through a web interface. This would require a nice gui to offer the clients with a simple process for the clients to download from. It would also need to be secure (authentication & SSL), and mandatory disclaimer acceptance before logging into their account. Anyone with experience or thoughts on this matter?
I was also looking for something like this. You can find a whole load of choices here:

A lot of the open source ones are built on Java like the two mentioned in this thread Afresco and KnowledgeTree.
One that is not listed but is possibly less of a hassle to setup and maybe fit the law firm's needs is Epiware:

No java involved and you get an online demo to look at first too.
Hi Chris,
Bless you for the links to Epiware... I don't know that I would have every found this one otherwise. I have a client that has been asking for something like this and I was about to start writing the thing from scratch. You just saved me two months worth of coding! Bless you!!!
Epiware has turned out to be the cat's meow.
By the way... In case anyone has looked at this and wasn't able to figure out how to keep user folders hidden except for the user they're created for it can be done with epiware out of the box. I've got the step-by-step. Email me off-list and I'll send'em to ya.
