Creating a FTP Web Interface for my site

I've been wondering if it is possible to create a FTP Web Interface into a website that would allow users to access a FTP server.
I tried looking for something that would help me with this, and all I found was a javascript code that allows me to access my own ftp server. The only problem is that the website that I'm making is a FTP site, and it is currently hosting 3 personal FTP servers from 3 members of the staff, 2 of my friends and myself. I'm looking for a way to create a built-in ftp interface for the website that users can use to access those FTP's no matter where they are.

Can anyone help me with this? It would be really appreciated.

Do any of the PHP scripts at hotscripts file management section [hotscripts.com] fit the bill?

As a matter of fact, one of them hits the nail on the hammer. The MyWebFTP Hoster is exactly whthe type of script that i'm looking for.
Unfortunately, i'm just a lonely newbie web designer that doesn't have a much money to buy stuff, and I haven't been able to get a job just yet, so I was wondering if there was something out there that did what MyWebFTP Hoster did, but for free. Even if it doesn't look as flashy & nice looking as that one does, it doesn't matter as long as it allows most of the actions that it does, that's fine. (No doubtedly I will be getting MyWebFTP Hoster when I get the means necessary.)

They seem to have a free version, a personla version and then the Hoster. Maybe the free one will work for now.

I just tried the free version, it seems to work fine, you need php support of course, and session support. I needed the same thing, it's pretty easy to setup, just follow the directions, it can be setup on any php supporting website to access any ftp site, so it doesn't have to be on that server necessarily.

<added> I spoke too soon, the free version only allows uploads, not downloads.

Yup. That's why I didn't even bother downloading it.
I saved the site for future reference though.

Would FileMan work for you? It has a free version, but you can only set up login info for one user account.

I'm looking for the same thing, but it's for a graphics professional and the size requirement outpaces the php limitations. I'd like to use the web interface, but it looks like he may have to just give his main clients separate passwords and directories and let them use regular ftp.
