    I am sorry, the requirements was a bit vague.

    A customer will call in with a issue and I'll request they send me log
    files, crashdumps, sniffer traces, etc. If the info is, say less
    than 5MB, I request they mail me the file zipped (password encryped)
    as most users do not have pgp or a secure ftp client (mostly windows
    users). Larger files must be FTP'd. Well of course there is the
    security concern.

    I believe one can set up a Apache server with SSL to PHP and have the
    client browse to the server and upload the files securely (without
    having to load any additional client software on their windows
    PC's/servers)

    I am running a 5.3 box and have some issues installing Apache/SSL/PHP
    due to dependencies mismatches.
