What is better to use for corporate data storage?

Question

FTP

Hello! There is a task - to organize on the network, so that it is possible from anywhere in the world, a data warehouse with a large number of users. Each user needs their own username and password, and read-only permissions. Also, one must have the rights to delete and download, respectively. Very high data security is not required, but if an employee quits, you must immediately delete his login and password. There will be a fairly large amount of data - about a terabyte. What is the best way to use for this purpose? If FTP, then which hosting is better to take, because it will not be possible to raise all this on a local computer. And what kind of FTP client or other application is needed to achieve this goal? If not FTP, then advise the site better. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If only for reading and adding, do webdav, for example based on apache. If you just need to download files, then put them on the web, in the form of daddies, any web server is suitable here, even Apache, even nginx, even lighttpd. You can also upload via ftp. Any web server supports authorization, at least via ldap, at least from files, and security can also be arranged via https. Yes, do not forget to enable directory browsing on the web server.
PS. There is also the S3 protocol, and a good implementation of the storage server - minio.io https://habrahabr.ru/company/southbridge/blog/324086/ - an article on the topic
