thanks. this deserves more study but so far as I can see now, it 
doesn't suit my purpose. it allows me to access files from diverse 
places and devices. I can already do that on a server to which I have 
ssh and sshfs access.

what I need is something where _others_ can upload their files for 
_me_ to access. think of students uploading papers for the teacher to 
grab. the students shouldn't see each other's work though they should 
see their own.

(it would be great if they had permissions to modify and delete their 
own stuff but not essential; it is essential that Windows and Mac 
people can upload their files.)

I'll study the owncloud page more but I'm not seeing these features 
so far.
