I'm looking for a basic web-based file management application. It must have an affordable price, and fairly easy installation would be a plus. ASP.Net / IIS based would be easiest for me to work with. Basically, I'd like it to create a secure web site where myself and a few people can exchange various types of files, etc. I'm looking for a package I can install on my own server rather than a web-based service, as I think I can get more space at a good price point this way.

I could go custom coding, but I figure this is such a generic need, there must be something already mature out there at a decent price. What has worked best for you?

A: 

Is there a reason you don't want to use an FTP server? IIS has one built in otherwise FTP Zilla is a great free alternative

Otherwise why not use the most basic version of Sharepoint services, free and comes with the OS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%5FSharePoint%5FServices

Finally, if you really don't like the above options you could enable Windows security and use webdav - http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles%5Ftutorials/WebDAV-IIS.html

Our needs call for a web-based solution.

A: 

You should definitely take a look at this Web File Manager. It's the best one I came across, UI wise and feature wise. They also have an ASP.NET control version which you can integrate into your existing aspx pages.
