Public Access Add-On Suggestion

Firstly thank you for this excellent product. It really works well and is fast.

We have building project managers who need to share large files with their contractors. As such I would humbly like to make the following suggestion for future versions.

A generic page that can be used to simply list a users files for download purposes. EG: /wexserver/list.asp?user=username And the option in prefs to allow or disallow a users files to be listed through list.asp

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your comments, I am glad it's useful to you.

Actually I had added a new feature with version 3.0
You can log into WebExplorer Server automatically with a simple URL: 

login.asp?auto=username 

Of course, you can only use a user who has a password exactly same with the user name with this method. Security is not broken for other users.

So for public access, you can do the following: 
Create an account preferably named "public" and set the password to "public" too. Assign the required permissions and accessible folders for this user. Then provide a link for your visitors such as "login.asp?auto=public", you will be all set.
