Here's the rundown on this project:

This is an online file browser, representing the exact files on the file system specified on the server.
(This 'specification' is done using a .properties file. Check WebContent/WEB-INF/default.properties)
Uses Java + Servlets and JSP.
Supports session-based authentication
Check the downloads section for a working WAR file (includes source)

The server has 4 servlets:

1. auth (/OnlineFileBrowser/auth)
2. browser (/OnlineFileBrowser/browser)
3. data-transfer (/OnlineFileBrowser/data-transfer)
4. upload (/OnlineFileBrowser/upload)

DELETEs a file at the URI requested. Eg: DELETE /.../browser/users/arunjitsingh/DEL-THIS-DIR

Download the file at the URI. Directories cannot be downloaded (yet). Eg: GET /.../data-transfer/users/arunjitsingh/sample.txt
