I've never used drupal before, but I'm considering it for a file repository site. The site will have multiple categories and subcategories.
Users log in to the site and upload files for a certain category, but the file is only posted under the category once confirmed by the admin. I've thought of using php link directory with a file upload module. Would this be a simple setup using drupal? If so, what modules would I require?

Regards

You could use the core (default) upload module functionality, but a more robust site would include CCK fields (filefield and metadata fields). Just don't allow users to publish content, and then admins can publish content. Also, you'll probably want Views to create dynamic lists/streams/etc...

If the files are going to be somewhat text-based (pdf, text, doc), then you might want search_files/attachments.

For a document repository using core Drupal modules, use the Book module for hierarchy and the Upload module for storing a file on a node.
