While getting quotes for a site recently the question of filesystem came up a lot and I admittedly didn’t know much on the subject.

Doing some research the popular choices appear to be either PHP frameworks or less often ASP.NET frameworks.

Among popular PHP frameworks I see Laravel come up a lot, open source is certainly more reliable than something maintained by Google, Facebook, or Amazon but currently the Laravel maintainers are pushing AI really really hard.

So is the only real solution to learn to program with PHP without using any frameworks or libraries? Can anybody who has implemented a secure fileserver for a website tell me how difficult or easy it would be to learn?

    Uhh, just use the HDD and file commands with any service? It’s not forbidden to just serve a whatever file from a REST endpoint.

    If your not doing a Dropbox virtual filesystem or forced to work with ftp/sftp then just make a whatever endpoint and send back a file instead in any language/framework.

      How about I use a proper FileSystem framework and have proper discussion with people who do? Why are there so many people trying to dismiss the entire discussion? Probably just one guy and his alts, maybe a Tankie I pissed off.
