Looking for a file manager that works with roles and/or OG. webfm seems to be the only file manager I can find but it's still an RC.
Are there any other options? Hard to believe there is only one 6.x file manager.

Goal:
Allow groups to have files upload (not a lot so db or file system) and also have some public and authenticated user(non-group) downloads.

Drupal.org discourages module duplication so its actually quite expected that there aren't many modules that address the same functionality.

That said, there's a couple of ways to handle files: you can use the core upload or contributed filefield modules with views, webfm (which you already mentioned), dbfm, and fileframework.

Not trying to be a troll. And with my limited knowledge of programming I respect and give thanks for anything provided. But I'd expect a function like file management to be a more active and robust module.

I think I'll dig into the contributed filefield/views option and see how that goes.

dbfm =5.x only
fileframework =6alpha from April and a dev that looks untouched other than a description update.
webfm =RC5.

WebFM is no longer an RC. OG support is now included (though not tested by myself).

The module is now actually up for grabs - my other projects have pushed it over the cliff because there are only so many hours in a day.

The developer of webfm has discontinued its development.

I would recommend the IMCE module.

Maintenance of the module has been transferred

Hi Rob,
I couldn't see anything on the webfm site about the change - so who takes over from you? (let's hope they last longer than Mr Redfern...).
You never know, dbfm may get an upgrade to 6 soon!
